My Corp members and some members of several alliances have discussed and agree that if a cloak was to use or consume fuel, it would solve a few problems.

Fuel could be Strontium Clathrates, Liquid Ozone, Heavy water, or other.

it would burn a specific rate, forcing the camper or any one to uncloak to go for more fuel.

This would cause more PVP action to ensue with all involved, including miners.

It would force multiple alts to play the game.

I know various ships cargo holds are or have size issues for m3, but I am sure CCP could figure out a way to control the amount of fuel being carried in the hold. Either a separate fuel bay or restriction on the amount of fuel carried for cloak. Maybe a timer on cloak like fatigue.


If we had let say a hour fuel, i see no problem getting to high sec from null, having a PVP fight or op, mining, or PVE.

After is it not to be a action game, campers become a inactive game, in my opinion.

Really?

You didn't even look at the forums before posting this. Not only is this an uber-redundant thread that's been beaten into a pulpy liquid, but you don't even need the search feature to find the identical thread. It's the second thread on the forum, right under the rules thread.

Reported for redundancy.

Reading and searching is hard. This only highlights your reasons for failing to counter people who are AFK.

This really belongs in the stickied AFK Cloaking: Ideas , discusions and proposals thread at the top of the forum rather than have an ISD waste his/her time having to close it for redundancy.

Oh, I missed this line the first time.

Cause more PvP? The cloaky camper is already doing PvP. He's a player doing something that directly effects another player in a negative way. Pretty much defines player versus player. Your job now is to bait him into decloaking so you can do something that directly effects him in a negative way.

Unlike other MMOs, PvP in EvE is not only two players, or grouos of players, slugging it out on a battlefield.

Whats the point, in that case cloaks would still be permanent.

the cloak would break once you grew up and realized an AFK cloaky can't hurt you

Hello! I see you are starting a thread on AFK cloaking. Did you know that we get so many of these threads we have a thread about it? You can find it here. Due to budget cutbacks we are going to have to close your thread though. Sorry!
