not a coward been ratting with him here for past 2 hours, just saying it is broken, for someone being able to sit in the middle of space cloaked and safe,


What is he doing that is overpowered or unfair?

Personally I'm in favor of removing local in null though. The power-projection through capitals and jump-gates in combination with perfect local, heavily favors the defenders, making null PvP a more stagnant, blobby affair.




Local intell favors as much defenders as it favors aggressors, if I know you're there you also know I am point blank.


Also you should read this guy:

That's it, you have tools available and tactics, don't blame others for your laziness to use them.

CCP needs to do alot, but they won't, for multiple reasons.

It's best to get used to broken mechanics.


Now stop bitching on the forums cos your bots can't farm and you can't pay rent with RMT.

Or you know, you could bait him out and kill him.

Stupid forums re-parsing the links so they don't work.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Could you please explain how the ability to be AFK is overpowered compared to, say, being logged off. You still cannot do anything while AFK.

If you manage to die to someone that is AFK then you should probably just quit the game.



Would you find it annoying knowing someone is in the middle of space possibly afk, while your ratting? while in null mind you not high sec derp, no chance of finding him and having to wait hours to kill him cause a cloak does not run on cap or have a timer????

it's ok though, cloak takes no cap and you can't find the person unless he magically decloaks while afk but you know that won't happen while hes in the middle of space and there is noting there


in my opinion cloaks are very op and need a nerf :) like the prices of dreads need a nerf lol

Firstly as above.

Secondly CCP has stated any number of times that cloaking is working as intended and will not be changed.

Eve isn't a game designed around instant gratification so no.

What is it my business if they choose to go AFK without logging off?

If I wanted to go kill something I could think of more successful attempts than trying to shoot someone cloaked, AFK in a safe spot.

A cloaked player cannot prevent you doing anything. He can't activate modules unless he decloaks, and then you can engage him.

An AFK player cannot prevent you doing anything. He's not there.

If you can't handle the risks of nullsec, leave. Don't demand CCP break game balance for you.

She can’t see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile.
She’ll never notice how you stop and stare
Whenever she walks by.

And you can’t see me wantin' you the way you want her
But you are everything to me.

I just wanna show you
She don’t even know you,
She's never gonna love you like I want to.
And you just see right through me.
If you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
Miracle,
Unbelievable
Instead of just invisible.

There’s a fire inside of you
That can’t help but shine through.
She’s never gonna see the light
No matter what you do.

And all I think about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be


Like shadows in a faded light
Oh, we’re invisible.
I just wanna open your eyes
And make you realize.

I just wanna show you
She don’t even know you.
Baby, let me love you,
Let me want you.
You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
Miracle,
Unbelievable
Instead of just invisible.

She can’t see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile.

Yes, I'm getting that feeling. You'd probably feel more at home there because you don't belong with us civilised types.

Oh god.
