I am quite sure this has been brought up before but why not make a covert cyno jammer as a system upgrade as well???

Make it cost 40-50,000,000 per day (double reg upkeep of normal jam) and be done with this AFK Cloak %#(*@(*%.

If you really need the security of not being hotdropped by a cloaky afker be ready to pay through the nose for that right....
In the mean time paint a nice large target that says I have isk to burn.

This doesn't block people from AFK cloaking it just removes one of the biggest wine and cheese args.... I am scared I will be hotdropped.

It doesn't block the fact that you have a cloaky ship in the area that can attack your miners at will if they aren't smart and have protection.

Flame on.....

Because it was intended to overcome cyno jammer. Why not to whine about removing covert cyno from this game? That would be more logical.

tell you what I'll agree on one condition

- Can only have 1 cyno jammer active at once. Choose either covert cyno jammer or regular cyno jammer not both.

This will be another reason to whine when they will get covert cyno jammer.

Naa that could be a nice balance on top of the price you can have one or the other on....
For the most part any cloaky will only be running a Covert or a Reg Cyno.

If you don't know enough to know which one to turn on at the present you need better intel.......

Cyno Jamers are meant to stop capital ships to come in a system, or any really big fleet with a titan has a jump bridge. If you think you are impotent enough to be hot dropped by a covert fleet and dont have enough to defend your self maybe its time to invest in some more protection, or stop risking more then you can lose

remember this, you wont be hot dropped every other day, just leave your fleet of miners aligh and not all of them will blow up, if your point is to be 100% safe you should sit in a station in Jita and do some trading, if you want to be safer but not 100% safe go in highsec

and cant a few AFK T3 cruisers just Warp jam allot of ships at the time? i mean... Proteus has enough med slots and a 40km warp disputers.... and enougth EHP to last long enougth for a full fleet to jump through a gate while hes holding targets.... so i dont think you are done with AFK cloakers :)
