Let Drifters Solve AFK Cloaking

I could almost hope that CCP is already moving towards this. The new mysterious and powerful NPCs are awesome and add to the immersion of the game.

So the idea is they could be attracted to a cloaking field (pick your reason). It could take them 1 - 3 hours to eventually decloak a ship which has not changed direction or velocity. Perhaps changing direction would set them back another 30 minutes and changing grid could reset the timer.

You could have them start spawning in a system where a cloak has been active continuously for over half an hour. You could even have their movement hint at the direction of the cloaked ship but not give it away.

I know plenty of people will hate this idea, so flame on. Big smile I doubt you can convince me that this would not be a cool idea.

Can we also have the drifters solve your making redundant posts issue as well?

This would be a great idea.

All those that fail to bother even reading the first page, let alone search, should be hunted down in game by drifters and killed at least twice.

Actually you are breaking forum rules. Duplicate posts and new posts on commonly posted ideas is not allowed...especially when ISD put a sticky thread on this very topic.

And there IS a thread on AFK cloaking.

That's okay, because you're not going to convince anyone else that it IS a good idea.

Also, you're in a wormhole corp. Do AFK cloakers even effect you?
