Good afternoon:

My Proposal

A mid-slot module which decreases the range at which you can be decloaked by up to twenty five percent (1,500 metres) in exchange for a heavy training time, penalties to cloaked ship velocity and increase in cloaking module capacitor usage.

Requirements

- Cloaking V

Specification

Benefits:

-25% to object decloaking range

Penalities:

-25% to -50% to cloaked velocity?

increase in cloaking module capacitor usage (activation cost) or to fitting of some sort.

Reasoning

I believe this module would benefit null security blockade runners and covert operations / black operations ships. The drawbacks seem to be a very fair balance to the gain of a decreased cloaking range of 1,500m

Notes

This is not a thread to complain about AFK-Cloaking, please don't do it.

Thankyou for listening to my proposal, your time is very much appreciated as is any suggestion / CONSTRUCTIVE criticism

Cloaks don't use cap.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

I've lost a lot of blockade runners. I have never lost one in a bubble, or by being decloaked by any means.

I mean, is that a thing that happens?

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

A penalty to velocity on a covops ship would actually make you warp faster.

Should be an agi penalty instead.

Not a forum alt.

It's not really needed, the 2500 m range is ok.

A competent gate camp will have inties trailing drones, which can be reasonably effective if they have any skills.

A mean gate camp will have the entry bubbled up to 45KM in every direction, making you slow boat long enough to have a good shot at finding you.
