How ******* adorable.


..And your comment was so to be waited for. Nice that you still ARE interested. ;)

Eh, wormhole corps deal with cloakies all the time by blowing them up. How? By actively scouting our space as well as the space adjanced to it, by working for our intel and knowing when someone comes over, which in return gives us the opportunity to blow them up. We manage to do all that despite all of the connections being randomly spawning at places that we have no advance warning of, stuff don't just magically appear on our overviews to let us know that "hey, maybe this thing labeled stargate is where they're coming from". Despite that, we do it day in and day out. I don't believe for a second that nullbears are as bad as they make themselves appear to be with posts about the afk cloakers, it'd be nice to see them show my belief to be true, even once.


You probably don't blow up afk cloakers.

I don't discriminate, I blow them up whether they're at the keyboard or away from it, provided I can catch them in that state. It's often easier to catch them on the keyboard obviously, but some have been found guilty of being dumbasses and just sitting at some specific range to a wormhole, celestial or some such and uncloaked accidentally. How do I know it's an afk cloaker? I have enough time to point it and blow it up without any reaction, without using an interceptor.

That said, if they remain afk, they are no harm to anyone. If they don't and they're about to actually do something potentially harmful, that's when you can catch them doing so.

I really just wish ISD would lock all new threads about "AFK" cloakers.

Just look here.

It's been done to death already. And CCP Soundwave and the gang have made it clear over and over that it's not broken.

Nobody has ever been harmed by any truly AFK player by definition.

If there was a problem with cloaking then this idea might have a chance. Since there isn't a problem with cloaking, there's nothing to see here.

Also been thinking about cloak mechanics concerning afk cloakers. I know its sooooo old topic, but even I like to play coverts/recons A LOT i've started to think solutions for it.

.......


What some players don't know, is the fact that there are technical problems before CCP can change cloak mechanics .... and like any other company CCP isn't very frank about poor/hurried software implementations. You have to read CSM white papers or listen to CSM town halls to get an idea.
Personally i feel that , until CCP decides to change the (cloak-)code, your are just waisting time thinking about new cloaking features.

Oh, this story again.


New and exciting.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.
