To be fair, I don't mind the idea of afk cloaky if there was a mechanic to counter them outside the time they light a covert cyno up.

Providence has been perma-camped for the last 3-4 months now by THORN's afk botting team, MagicAcid and Replicator (and co.). At this moment, there are 60+ characters just being made to mine ice with retrievers who are in NPC corps (Replicator Peta31-80). These guys fund Replicator0001-42 who stay afk cloaked with probes and covert-cyno ready to pounce idiots that decide to take the risk.

Killing replicator is only a small loss and returns with another covert ops ships to continue camping the system. We can't kill it in the meantime and we don't have the numbers to combat a much larger alliance such as THORN.

The issue is the inability to hunt afk cloakies where they log in just after dt and sit there till the next dt in a concentrated and limited area such Providence.

But lets face reality, CCP wouldn't lift a finger unless goons cry foul.

Maybe you should ask Severence to help you out. They bring a fairly numerous sized frig fleet to deal with cov ops.

I can't believe people are actually QQing about cloaking in a system, and then them going Afk until some nullbear with a 6billisk ratting/plex ship shows up and gets whelped.

Just bait the guy and kill him and his friends if he lights a Cyno. Look at his kill board, look at system/local area kills within the last week (etc) and learn what their associates fly (if they even have any) counter Cyno them back if necessary. If your scared of flying your stupidly over-pimped ratting/plex ship then don't fly it with him in system and go do something else.

People have been setting up alts just do to this to troll hard like this, and they are winning by the sounds of it lol

Thorn alliance hold B-7 in Querious, it is a -1.0 system, just return the compliment to them, camp the hell out of it!!!

Look at the amount of ratting going on there, come on you know it makes sense!

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

Eve's most infamous cloaky-camping botter finally came out to fight the other day, so we tore him a new ass.

Au Revoir Replicator

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.
