Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Since eve is about balance and being able to counter anything with some combination, and is against afk playing 23/7 using macros or anything allowing you to be afk, I propose cloaky camping be labeled by ccp as officially unnerfable, and ossibly requiring a buff.

Why
1) I want to be able to be untouchable except if i forget to scout a bubble, period, with no exception. It would not be fun for me to be able to be caught any more than the bs that I already have that risk. Cloaking should probably make me ewar immune on covops class ships as well cloaked or not.
2) i want to be able to passively and invincibly scout everywhere, and if i find a juicy target i should let my cyno alt warp to me to i can kill it without revealing myself EVERY TIME, because eve is about balance, and that is fair for me.
3) local should be nerfed so not only can i not be caught, they shouldnt know im there
4) cloaks should work when logging off/on so i can afk camp people at my leisure in their space without needing to activate my modules, after all it's already too much work. .
5) Like macro miners, I should be able to play afk. Sure macro miners can die, but cloakies are cloaked and therefore should remain invincible.
6)CCP Should never nerf small ships, thats what titans are for.
7) I want to be able to stay cloaked in bubbles, seriously why should I have to be vulnerable to anything cloaked? It isn't fair.
8) Macro mining is bannable because its afk playing, but cloaking requires setup at the start of the day, meaning its different because it isnt macro mining.

Why not
1) if you think cloakies are too op just because they are invincible and fill a role 23/7 that can be unmatchable by any ingame tactic as long as they're afk, you obviously are a carebear and/or noob ... or don't know that cloakies one weakness of jumping into bubbles is a weakness enough. After all you can bait them... or quit eve. Good enough counter imho.



Petition any gm and when they agree with my stance on why we should be allowed to do this even better than before, post it here so maybe we can finally get cloaked buffs letting us shoot while cloaked. Because the utilities mentioned above arent enough for me, and shouldn't be enough for you.

Eve is about balance, and this , as long as used by and for me, is balanced.

Is this about AFK cloakers? They're AFK, they're not even playing the game. Why are you worried about them?

This is an English only forum.

Yes. But CCP has nothing to say on cloaky campers so general discussion is fine, just make sure they know we approve.

Well, much ;)

This again? Standard reply:

1) An ~AFK~ cloaker never killed anyone.
2) It is possible to catch cloaky in a number of ways, specifically:
a) bubbles + competent tackle (honestly, just competent tackles has a decent chance of working)
b) Instalocking frigs, destroyers, and T3's. Due to the fact that eve server does everything in 1s increments, if your ship has a lock time less than 1 second against the cloakies hull, its even money whether they're able to cloak or not if you initiate the lock attempt when they appear out of gate cloak. The cloaky has a delay when decloaking before they can recloak, and a delay between when they send the cloak signal to the server and when the server receives it.
c) decloak cans at 10-12k around gate.


Tl,dr: HTFU and adapt.

While we are discussing boosting cloaking, CCP should make it so I can lock and activate modules/ weapons without decloaking. It is rather unfair that my targets can defend themselves. I mean what's the use of cloaking if I can't use it in combat?

If you think cloaking needs nerfing, you're just a macro miner who doesnt know the many ways to target a cloak camper, and that's your fault not mine. Don't disgrace this legitimate thread with your pathetic attempts at demeaning the pros of fair cloaking



I wouldnt mind being able to make cynos while cloaked too.

No, cloaking should remove your name from local.
