Everywhere we have afk cloacked people that stay all days until dt, especialy in 0.0

My Idea for reduce this problem is add fuel consumption (heavy water?) for cloaking device.
Something like you can stay with a covert ops for max 1 hour (you can also add a new skill that reduce fuel consumption).

Why are people so clueless.....?

And after 1 hour you can be forcibly undocked from a Station unless you refuel with Docking Liquid 101. So, so, so fricking tempted to say biomass but won't, I WILL NOT SAY IT! NOOOoooooo!

Two very in-depth posts that put yours to shame: Upgrading Local to Eliminate All AFK Influence AND in-conjunction with So Local Chat vanished, now what?

EDIT: Please show the court where on the hull the cloaky AFK'er touched you. I bet you can't or that AFK cloaker wasn't AFK now was he. Nope, didn't think so.

I don't imply my facepalms.. :/ It's much more effective if you actually palm your face...

I think is only one.

In EVE there's only ONE guy having issues with cloacking and he keep posting always the same bs (often with exactly ye same words) with different alt account.

Is kinda like a psycho, trapped since years in his station, cannot undock, local is not clear, so he has a lot of free time and nothing to do. Except repeating the same post over and over...

Hi there!

Do you know, this is an idea that unbalances many game aspects?

Just sayin...

The only thing that requires fuel is the SEARCH function, and apparently its been out of gas for awhile.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Yeah, yeah, I'll add this crap idea soon enough.... Roll

Jesus, my work is never done....

Done, added to the list. And for the rest of you lazy bastards who want to whine about cloaks, the list starts here.

I want to add to the OP:

I think all cloaked ships should be warp-able to, like a cyno, with an icon in the overview [BIG SCARY CLOAKED SHIP I]
Also that cloaked ships are given a giant red outline if they are on grid with you so that you know where to go to decloak them.
Being cloaked should increase your scan res by 5,000,000,000% and lower all of your damage resists by 90%.
I think that cloaked ships should be automatically targeted and shot by your computer.
Cloaks should also cost eleven billion trillion isk so that no one buys them.

I sell combat boosters of every strength and type. Message me to get your edge.

I like the idea....something new to conquer.

Would the fuel for the cloaking device allow a ship using the fueled cloak to have a faster cloaked velocity?

read kb's. They have timestamps. Pvp'ers like showing kills either to show leadership they are active or they have e-peen issues.

Example 1: I had a an afk cloaky once who was very active only in ustz. I am asia/oceanic tz. I knew they were not there when I played.


Example 2: When in delve a bit back when I was in 0.0 we had a ninjya cyno gank squad very active in our tz. We knew the cyno's by name. Knew what the blops dropped in. Hell even knew the blop bs as it shot stuff up when bored as well. Them raking in kills and all over our kb made this just a bit easier than say solving grand unified field theory. the cyno pilots' names were not even hard to remember. Any deaths to them got you no pity....

Whether that cloaky is afk in space or afk in station, who cares - he is afk and won't hurt you by no means.
Furthermore, a non-CovOps ship with T1/T2 cloak is crippled for combat and won't decloak on grid.

All CovOps are T2 and rather Electronic-ships. CovOps frigates are used as Exploration ships, usually having 0 dps, and Cruisers are designed to operate as EWAR-Support ships.
There is no reason to fear the Pilgrim not appearing on your overview, as much as you should be terrified by a Curse appearing on it, which does not fit a cloak, just mentioning.

Furthermore, what makes you believe that just because a pilot does not appear on your dScan, he must for sure be a cloaky?
Smart pilots try to make themselves safespots beyond 14.35 AU from all warpable locations if possible, like stations and gates, and by that remain dScan-unscannable like a cloaky.

Where does an Explorer, who travels in his Pilgrim or Anathema through New Eden's nullsec and wormholes, all by himself, get that fuel from, just in order to function?

Why do you wish to nerf cloaks and what problem does it solve?

He should leave Jita, it's the only way.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.
