No. And I guarantee your alliance mates already know this and have been able to move on.

If he's in a safe spot the odds of you decloaking him are literally astronomical.

If a system is max 15 AU in size and everything is on the same plane then he's somewhere in an area of 1.6 * 10^19 square kilometers. Have fun getting to within 2 km of him. If the system is larger or stuff isn't all on the same plane then you have even less chance of finding him if he's safed up and cloaked.

no. unless you know where it is.. and bump it

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

I have successfully found a cloaked ship!!

I literally bumped into a cloaked Rapier while in a cloaked Prowler. Yeah, it ended in a lossmail, but I literally bumped into him and then we both decloaked.

I couldn't do it again if I tried.

If they ignore him and bring out their mining and mission ships he can light a covert cyno and drop a bomber gang on them.

This.

It could be an explorer trying to complete an expedition.

Or you could set a trap, put out some bait and see if you get a nibble.

Not if he's AFK.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

Then bring out a nice shiny bait ship. Fishies got to eat sometime.

Best way isn't running after him, make him come to you.

Especially since cloaked ships no longer decloak each other. Lol

There is no way, which is odd for a game that's all about balance.
