Hopefully, I'm in the correct index for this discussion.

I brought this as a petition into Eve game. Was answered back to post here for debate among pilots and catch the CCP's Developers.


Hi,

I was wondering if there was any sort of work or planning in progress for any defenses against players cloaking and camping a system 24h a day for several days ?

There should be a game mechanism for the owner of a system to be able to defend against such neutral or red status, etc, where that mechanism could be by triggering a module to uncloak any player for a specific lenght of time, once or twice a day.

This will give the defending player to be able to scan for the cloaky ship and have the possibility to remove the threath from the system.

What about Cloaking Jammer module fitted on a ship or in a system to prevent any sort of cloacking nearby or within the system.

Cheers,
Rav

Oh my god... I think you are onto something! Not only is this thread original and very well written/proposed, but your solution is so novel and well just faultless... I say yes to everything the enlightened OP has suggested. CCP should hire this guy immediately!

/sarcasm

Now that you drained my weekly supply of sarcasm, you must be either so new that you missed multitude of threads discussing this exact topic, or you are just plain ignorant.

Please use the forum search function and you will see just how recycled and debated to hell and back your issue and proposed solutions are.

How about nullsec pilots try to grow a pair as big as the ones highsec pilots have for flying in space with no warning mechanism to warn them of griefers?

I have never been killed by a cloaked ship, as they cannot fire, tackle, or do much of anything while they are cloaked. If they want to cause you any harm, they have to decloak, which leaves them as vulnerable as any other ship.

I am so smart.

No trolling please

Considering that the 4 main empires have such a module that stops enemies from cloaking in their space, I think that there should be a sovereignty mod that allows null sec alliances to do the same thing.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.

Why should they? Cloaking is harmless.

Sure. And onsidering that 4 main empires have CONCORD too why null sec alliances shouldn't have it too against their enemies? So they don't have to bother to stop their afk farming to put some effort in their space devence?
So finally this bug will be fixed and finally null sec will be not only 100% safe by real threats but also any simply psycologic/potential threat would be removed.

Glad to see finally someone openly asking to improve high sec game mechanics in null sec :)

OP luckily every ship ingame has a cloaking defense. It is actually 100% effective, no cloaked ship can do you any harm what so ever! How awesome is that! complete immunity! Try it out sometime

cloaked ship cant do anything to you, thus dont need to defend against it.
