Basically im my mind its like this:

I'm here, online, active ready to play. Douche bag logs on 6 hours ago after DT, cloaks and stays in the system all day. Now I could be a moron and mine ice and maybe i'll survive....or maybe his episode of Bachlorette will end and he'll come pop me for being dumb enough to mine with a red in the system.

Cloaking ships should cost something. It costs me to exist in a system with one there, it costs quite a bit actually. Cloaked ships should have some type of fuel hold with enough fuel to keep a cloaking ship going a while.....then it should end and when it ends the cloaking ability should be compromised in the pvp setting, if not removed outright.

In a lot of circumstances I feel like allowing cloaked ships to sit there indefinately gives the element of suprise to AFK'rs. CCP you dont reward AFK play do you?

Fix this cloaking madness.

I vote no for cloak fuel.

Why? Because I like to cloak my supers forever.

Did we get a new batch of forum noobs recently?

I'd swear we've seen this topic once or maybe even twice before...

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Cloaked ships can't even target you, and if you know he is there, you can prepare for him, only person dumb enough will not do so.

And I don't see why null should be safe for AFK'rs as high sec.

For me nothing is broken.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Theres no need for special fuel bay. Let Cloak use capacitor. And balance it that way, so a ship, which want to be cloaked 24/7, will also need basically whats called 'travel fit' for supercaps. Someone is cloaked for hours? Then he probably doesnt have weapons and tank so he cant cause some serious trable, except the cyno of course Lol

Fail.
And a cloaking device that required fuel rather than the ships existing generated energy source is epic fail idea, an insult to science!

OP, don't be scared. Countless people before you came with the same ideas, created huge 80 pages (i'm not kidding) debates on it but still failed to convince anyone in CCP that AFK cloaking needs to be "fixed".

If space costs you to live in you live in 0.0. 0.0 is supposed to be for group activities where you work together if you cant arrange protection while you mine then you dont deserve to be in 0.0. Man up or shut up your call.

And yes Ive lived in 0.0 and had cloakies in system i just did sanctums in domis, if they want to come kill me good on em ill fight and even if i die i can afford a new domi every day of ratting ;)
