Well as before and still is, cloaky campers rule nul sec with there intimidation and lack of presence until the're calling in friends to kill assets with overwhelming force. This has gone on for so long it's not funny, but now it's different, now these cloaky campers can camp out an alliance and then capture system resourses with entosis links. I know all the arguments, its a legitimate game mechanic ok, well all other "legitimate game mechanics" can be countered.

So here's my suggestion, it's unfair to remove cloaks, it's unfair to tag cloaks, it's unfair to remove local, so what isn't unfair, how about that a cloak be used correctly as it was intended, and to do that simply make it 1 cycle non repeat, if your afk and cant click it your dead, as it should be.

Now I know all you afk players are going to SCREAM this out, but while your doing that, at least add some content and tell everyone how this is unfair in any way to you to be protected while your afk intimidating people..


Cloak
Cycle Time : 15 minutes
Can Cycle : NO

and finally afk camping is gone as it should be

You want this thread: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=397030&find=unread

I foresee this particular thread being locked.

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

Support better localization for the Japanese Community.

As others have mentioned, there is a sticky in the F&I forum for discussing this topic:

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

so in short your not allowed to discuss cloaky campers unless your thrown in with the rest of the ideas and ignored.. that's pretty unfair, if theres a lot of discussions about cloakies means its something that is so obviously broken..

They've already mentioned a potential upgrade letting you probe out cloaked ships, which I think is dumb, so what else do you want them to do? Any changes take time to be implemented.

No. In short you can discuss it, but in the correct and stickied thread in this section.

Your ignorance and unwillingness to use the forum by the rules, is what we and CCP think of as unfair.

The thread is stickeid, thus the devs are watching it and will see any suggestion that is made.

At the same time, the fact that it is a common topic and that a thread has been dedicated to the subject tells you that it has been an item of discussion for a long time, showing how even both sides of the arguments are, and that no viable solution as yet been presented that they both agree on.

A possible solution is coming with the new "observation array" structure and we will have to wait and see.

Again, its not being ignored, its just that people cant agree.

We have a sticky about this because there are so many threads just like it. It's easier for everyone to post there instead of making a new thread that quickly falls to page 3 or 4. Trust me.

Closed for redundancy.
