You guys posting here act like you never lived in null and never for a corp that cares about their KB. In most corps you can be kicked if you loose something to a cloaky. SOP for most corps to stay POS/docked up to prevent possible loss. So you go play your alt.

I agree with the OP. Interaction should be required to remain cloaked.


If you lose a ship to a cloaky because you were reckless and stupid, then it makes sense to boot you. Why should a nullsec corp/alliance want useless carebears?

With that said, any reasonable corp/alliance wont kick you if you lose a ship in null... so long as you didn't lose it due to unimaginable levels of incompetence.

For example, if you lose a ship to a cloaky hotdropper, but the ship is reasonably fitted (not a carebearmobile), I don't imagine many corps/alliances having a problem with that.

So... you are a null bear too scared to fly because of an afk cloaker? I came expecting something, I don't know what. got some nice tears and then somehow left angry. Lets get rid of local for you and have some real fun.

I am just here to snuggle and do spy stuff.

A cloaked afk cloak thread, how quaint.

I thought you could only resurrect dead horses in WoW or something?

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

You dont pve in pvp fitted ships, if you do, you're wasting your time.


So much effort to bung a point or two on an armour Cane



Flying a suboptimal ship(for the job) is no good either.


Suboptimal how? Your isk per hour might drop by 1%, but oh look, suddenly you're capable of surviving or escaping an attacker!

The choice is yours, you can risk it for the better returns, or you can play it safer. Both choices are valid, it's up to you to decide

But, making that decision then demanding none of the trade offs and all of the benefits is invalid.

Holy crap. Grimmy I didn't even see you post. Long time no see brother. Still providing your voice for phone sex? :p
