Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I don't know that a mouse detection mechanic would be enough, which also contributes to why a higher timer is needed. It would be quite easy to attach something that would agitate your mouse enough to provide movement and that would be undetectable.

Yea 15 minutes timer is a lot too aggressive...if you're in a 10% TiDi fleet for 12 hours and you need to get up, use the bathroom, have dinner with the family, and can't be confident that you'll get back in should you logoff...that's not OK. Having a timer around 60 minutes would remove all reasonable excuses for why you weren't there for even one thing in an hour.

This is awful.

Someone unwelcome was in your system?

Please, define how it is you owned the system, when clearly you could not deny them access.
Apparently ownership is not defined by the ability to deny others entry here.

Perhaps the gates recognize you as their controller, and ....
No, wait, there it is again. They got in and the gates were complicit in this too, apparently.

Just admit it, your ownership of said system is nothing more than a glorified building permit.

I think what you are really saying, is that you lack the ability to fight someone off without them first scheduling an appointment, so you can call in your allies to help.

If they can pop in unannounced, they can effectively catch you with your proverbial pants down, and start a rigorous case of uphill gardening all over your lovely PvE ships.

OP, if we weren't blue, I'd be AFK cloaking in your space right now.

Do you have a reason for this thread other than as a place to store your tears?

How is it broken if there is LITERALLY NOTHING they can do to you? That's the real question here.

Your dev responese was....one cloak given out as a yule lad present.

Your unofficial dev response if 4 carriers can't rat in a couple of systems elsewhere there are 10's of them spamming pve....sucks to be them but its fighting eve inflation even if only to a very minor extent.

Rest of this issuee....covered many times. Read kb's, jump systems see if they follow (don't follow well then rat away there), yada yada.


make it so some interaction needed and this would be worked around from mild to wild.

Now the game server is forced to monitor random keystrokes and see if the server needs to do anything. Adds to load. SQL with the coding skills is able to move connected but inactive connections to "slow lane" as it were resources so that you can stay connected but not killing the server as it works the more active connections. I at work for example have a few dbs tied to apps that work on heartbeat intervals. Every say 15 minutes SQL works those requests then just goes is that it? Well then holler when you need me, I got other things to do basically.


And the issue with timers is sometimes yes you will sit there for 15 minute to even 2 hours. It be the prestaged cyno's who do this alot. FC thought they'd get 200 bs', 20 dreads and 4 mommies on the cta. Gets half of each if lucky on game day. And there goes thier time table for pos bash scheduling right out the window. Now that cyno is jsut sitting.

It could type in fleet chat to be active....but most times scouts/cynos and fc's I have eeen use 3rd party (mIRC, etc) for this as I have never seen cyno(s) talk in in-game chat channels. Probably because if they did a spyzor in fleet would jump on thier mIRC and tell his boys yeah....player A in system X is a cyno for our fleet, expect company sometime soon.

This is not a broken mechanic... there are plenty of ways you can kill the cloaked.. and there are plenty of limitations on cloaking... it's functioning as intended.

You mean that they don't add anything for you right? Because clearly they add something for the people doing it otherwise they wouldn't do it in the first place.

And your idea (as with every other afk cloaky sob story) would irreparably damage wh space. A place where afk cloaking provides literally zero issue. If local were removed, just like in wh space this issue would be dead. You would have nothing to complain about with regard to cloak mechanics. Zilch.

This would have the effect of forcing 0.0 groups to actually guard their systems other than only worrying about the crap Dominion sov mechanic of "form a day and a half after someone decides to shoot a structure.

Stop being bad.


**EDIT**

Just noticed that you are in LAWN as well....they maybe shouldn't have picked you up as LAWN used to actually form for HD purposes.....not whinge on the forums about cloaked ships impeding their ability to make ISK

I like how this is only an issue because you can see cloaked players in local.

Maybe we can kill two birds with one stone by removing local? ^^
