I am only uncloaking long enough to type this meaningless post in a pointless thread.

I will now cloak up and head for the pub.

The only option you have to try and target them is mwd towards them, de cloak them and some how target and point them before they have warped off.

The coward users of cloaks needs to be put to an end, Aggressive cloakers engage pvp but cowards abuse the cloak and make it sanctuary from interactivty between other players. I vote a new bubble that interdictors can use and can be used in only Low sec that de cloaks or doesn't allow cloaks to be activated (Would not interact with the original gate cloak) so that way cowards don't just run from engagements ater they black ops hot dop you and you fight back with reinforcements.

You do realise that a dictor bubble or an anchored bubble can be used in null?. Inty sits with mwd on, spamming the overview. Decloak, inty is there in seconds, decloaks the cloaked guy, guy is fecked... nothing to fix here

Although one thing I think could be improved is nerfing of the align -> MWD - Cloak - Decloak - Warp trick.


Get out. I talked about low sec you talk about Null. Clearly rading comprehension is not your forte.

Sorry didn't realise inties and cloak MWD trick didn't work in low sec... my bad. And I'm great at "rading" thank you.

For a pubbie you are pretty good at rading. Oh yeah the cloak ->mwd trick does work in lowsec. Its even easier there because bubbles can't be anchored. That guy is wrong.

Ah damn a typo my point is rendered invalid due to the flaw of my single word in a sentence. So close to making a difference. The mwd trick is a horribad trick, it only works on rookie cloakers and you have to be in a ceptor which has a sig raidus of a fart in the wind. The only genuine counter is to fly a chimera with shield rigs and mwd to make a 24km sig radius. But I think that's a bit excessive.

You're not quite getting what I am saying lol. I said you can use an inty to try to intercept decloaking ship and decloak it, if you're good its pretty effective. Not that I have done it or do it but I have been decloaked by them quite a few times, maybe I'm a rookie cloaker.

As for the mwd -> cloak comment, I was saying its a bit OP (aka agreeing with you) and probably needs to be nerfed.

I afk cloak in a ratting raven, in my own ratting system. That probably scares the crap out of the cynabal pilot that always comes in trying to catch me off-guard.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

Or you could put a cloak on that chimera and afk cloak in someone's system.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

Thread locked.

At least you could try to be original...
