It sounds like most of the complaining is about hot drops, which are honestly kind of cheap.

Why not let the cyno jammer also block covops cynos?

Because the whole point of the covert cyno is to bypass cyno jammers you dumb ****.

But the whole purpose of cyno jammers is to jam cynos! Good God we are caught in an endless loop of dumb ****ery!

Uh oh the two of us better post as our alts in noobcorps so we don't look like idiots on our main accounts!

Actually the point of covert cynos is to jump in a very specific type of subcap without needing to buy a titan. Also covert cynos don't pop up on everyone's overview which makes them .... you know .... covert.

Only real solution I can think of is giving cloaks a fuel bay that can only be filled in stations or ship maintenance bays. The AFK cloaking will likely be addressed someday, but I wouldn't count on it being soon. Seriously, rat in fleets and run different anom's at the same time if your that concerned about Cloaky McAFK. Sure someone is losing some ISK/hr and another is gaining, but why are you in 0.0 with other people if your not willing to play the game with them.

so, covertly jump into a jammed system, and (not so) covertly blow up the jammer to not covertly bring in an invasion fleet?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Yeah the more I look at this the more I am thinking a fuel bay is the answer.

It's more of a time investment thing really. I want to know that if some neut in system is making me waste my time, then I want to know that I am making him waste his time too. I want to know that some spotty teenager is popping Ritalin and missing his Sadie Hawkins dance so that he can prevent a system full of people from ratting / mining.

making someone fly off and gas up their cloak every 2-3 hours at least ensures that they need to be putting effort into showing up in local.

I like the idea of AFK cloaking being a battle of will, or at least a "Who can stare at the nebula longer" contest.

I honestly think PoCo based sov is a good idea https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1417544
