This again?

Isn't the issue more with the local channel than anything else? Without local channel, no one would ever cry about stealth pilots.

On the other hand you could technically say that said stealth pilots are using local channel in a way that wasn't meant to be used. Namely by purposefully making their presence known with the knowledge that they cannot be touched in any way, shape or form. Which is a bad thing for those that don't realize this. That said players cannot be touched that is. Or molested. Or worse.

That's pretty much the issue: Carebears want to use local mechanics for their own benefit, but if someone uses it AGAINST them... well, it's time to whip out the tissues and go crying to CCP

If the stealth pilot is afk they can't do anything either. And you can do something: escorts. If you have folks that can defend you there would be no reason to fear afk pilots who might suddenly not be afk anymore.

What's wrong with trying to make null sec safer? All the carebears are in hi-sec anyway. ;)

I just don't understand null sec players.

it really is a joke and part of why eve "pvp" is considered such a joke. Even lifeless retards can get kills.

At least you can't know.


This is funny and hypocritical. You guys claim you dont know if an AFK cloaker is there or not and it part of the game blaaa blaaa blaaa, yet you fail to apply that same logic to a possible afk ice miner. Sorta funny how people tend to justify things to meet their own needs.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

0.0 space local should be much like wormhole space local.(I.e. you shouldnt be allow to know if someone is "afk".)

and to solve your problem of afk cloakers, counter with an afk pvp pilot while your team mines?

Unattended keyboards manning a cloaked ship is the number one killer in EVE. Didn't you know that? ;)

I just don't understand null sec players.

So many Null sec pilots wanting Local removed and CCP does not listen

It is just a shame.

@OP

The bad part about AFK null sec stealthers is when they uncloak and gank you. Smile

I agree people should not be afk but why stop at cloak's how about making miners reactive there strip miners every cycle it only would it fair.

It is risk vs reward.

Local gives you free intel in Null to know when there are neuts in system so you can run away.
Down side is that local gives you free intel so you know when there is a cloaked neutral in your system.

Either ask for the removal of the free intel or live with the down side.
