Current situation cloaked campers in system making game-play very non fun and making me very close to unsubbing several accounts. Combat scanners don't work. There should be a Tech 2 variant of combat scanner probes that take a long time and don't exactly pinpoint but give a rough idea for the area for you start searching in. they should take a long train just like with anything T2 not used by alpha clones and cost a huge amount. Possibly even limiting the amount of these probes you can have to out at anyone time with shorter time spans that they can be active. Everything should have a counter. Sure local in k-space means you know they are in system. If not using probe to be able to find them then at least make it so that their d-scan can't be used while cloaked, can't target target cloaked why should your d-scan work while cloak?

I know I am not the only that feels this way, browning old posts from 2013 https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=221196&p=4. these suggestions have been made before. EvE is a game and should be balanced. As much as CCP likes to think of it as a sandbox there are still rules that apply. Otheriwse if it was a true sandbox then we would be fitting strip miners to all our battleships, putting lazors on drakes etc.

Please CCP, make cloaking more balanced oh and let Rorquals dock at large industry structures if they can dock at Fortizar they should be able to dock at the Azbels. Consistancy is important.

Thank you.

Kind regards

No, you are definitely not the only one. Guess what, you are at least #7371 (I won't count the people having posted before the creation of that thread) complaining about it. And guess what, there is a thread especially for this topic: AFK Cloaking™: Ideas, Discussion, and Proposals

UI Improvement Collective

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
