Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Everyone who lives in 0.0 knows the frustration of having a red cloaky in system while they're trying to Rat.

AFK cloakers do not pose a risk to ratters. The "perception" of risk, however, arises from the fact that nobody can really be sure if the cloaky is truly AFK or not.

The main issue with most of the "solutions" to this alleged problem is that they won't affect an ATK cloaker, they will only allow a free kill on an AFK cloaker.

I would hazard a guess that most of us on the "leave it alone" side of the argument are seeing that as the major sticking point. It's been pointed out before that cloaking and local, weighed against each other, while possibly broken, are not unbalanced.

My apologies if I took us too far off the actual topic of the thread and delved back into the question that seems to get these threads locked so often. I'm frankly surprised that the thread is still open, but up to now the posts have been staying pretty much on the meta discussion about the discussion. Sorry if I spoiled that...
