EVE General Discussion

When is see afk cloacker in system , i will do the ******* same , cloack also up , that will teach the *******!!!

Lol , no

Afk cloaking isnt a problem , cause that dude wont do anything, Null is not like highsec its kinda end game and shouldnt be easy , If you rent or be in alliance and you like to rat you should also have a small pvp force , or atleast rat in pvp ships.

im sure you know after time who the cyno alts are and who the afk cloackers are.

in short , i dont think that ccp should change anything , and for local , we have wh space where you dont have local , if you like that you can live inside those
Thats the nice thing of eve , many choices.

My couple of cents

AFK cloaking separates the men from the girls. If the complaints were from players who regularly pvp, and who are used to losing ships and getting their own kills, them maybe I would take these crys more seriously.

But it never is those guys.

You live on the frontier and enjoy it's bounty. If you can't get used to having to fend of a wolf or bear from time to time, go back east.

"CCP when can we expect to see cloaking require interaction to stay cloaked?"

You can't expect it because CCP have no issue with the way that cloaking currently works and no one has been able to come up with a compelling argument as to why this stance should change.

I will not make any suggestions here but, i will list the things impacted by afk cloaking.

1. undock your carrier with a neut in system ( afk cloak or otherwise ) = kick from alliance in most cases.
2. undock and rat in your 300 mil plus ship with a neut in system = alliance will not be to happy with you and a kick isn't uncommon at all.
3. undock a miner barge with a neut in system = possible corp aggravation and long term kick potential.


Business stops all the way, the entire system is basically locked, whether the neut is afk or not ( we can not know this after all ).

The new changes that came with Odyssey, also made it a lot easier to find stuff, meaning that an afk cloaker can stay in system for days, check everything out, get everyone comfortable with the situation and strike just when everybody think "meh, it's just an afk dude".

In my opinion, cloaking is a legitimate mechanic, but seeing that it has no counter ( in terms of modules ) it does seem kinda weird.

This should never ever happen as the person several places above me said HTFU.

but I do agree with the idea of cloaked persons being removed from local until the speak as this adds a sense of danger to places where there is none.

Something like "Ok I am here alone but wait could there be a guy cloaked in here" the cue the paranoia

How about we make sitting in a station or pos shield require fuel/interaction minigames/whatever the hell other terrible ideas OP and his ilk come up with?

Would you agree to that? That you get ejected from your pos/station if you run out of fuel or x minutes pass by without interaction? How about we take it a step further and not just eject you from the pos/station, but actively interfere/limit the things you're attempting to do while active (as many of these suggestions have a huge hit on active cloaked activities)

Agree. At most you have people laughing at you on Jabber.

Well, I think trying to fine people is going a bit far, since losing a carrier is already quite an incentive to not be a moron with a carrier.


For example, if you were an idiot and jump to the VFK beacon and then get hotdropped by BL., one hopes that the entire coalition will see a broadcast linking to your hilarious lossmail on eve-kill.

Perfectly said.

There's a funny story. A neutral once came into one of our systems and warped to an anomaly, hoping to catch a tengu or something whith his Rapier.

He ran into a fleet of newbies ratting in rail feroxes.

He died. The end.

Yeah, if it's useful then it probably hurts someone.
