I like this idea.

We should also have a module that "pings" ships out from behind the POS shield.
... and a module that "pings" ships out of the docking bay when they're safely docked in their home system. Pirate

Best fix for cloaked ships....remove the name from local. That's all.

Then, you never have to worry about cloak campers!

Wow... For sure a lot of answers...

First of all, sorry for the wrong channel, mod can you move this post to the right local please.... Very sorry for the wrong place.
I swear i will be more carefull next time.

Then.

Well of course i like to defend my position, and see a loot of answers, i try to justify.
======================================================================================
Tippia:
- I searched the forums, and disagree by the way of te matter is conducted, because of this i make a new post. For each reason you give this is a bad idea, i give another one this is a good idea... But this is not the intend of this post.

Lors Dornick:
- If you have a carrier? Or another expensive shipe, do you will farm? Or mine? With someone unknow in your system? I do not think so. Btw, thkx for you advert, i will try to move post to correct location.

Desimus Maximus:
- Your way will be impact very deep in the game, i dont thin the CCP will make something this big... But for sure is one idea.

Kubire-oni
- Agreed.

Tul Breetai
- I have justified my self preemptively, do you read my post at least? The answers is there. And yeah i'm a bit sarcastic, but you begin xD

Seraph Essael:
- Good point Seraph, in fact, I make this, i move to another system, but not everyone want to move, jump carrier, put containers etc... I think whe boot know, a cloacked char don't bait a Procurer, Legion or NOctis, his target, is bigger... Actualy, have no way to find a char cloacked in a safe spot, regardless of the amount of players involved in the operation... It is exactly what I want to change, put a tool to find this tape of char. Annnd, about your last argument, again, whe boot know, a cloacked Manticore is a big risc to a carrier fited to pve. Jump, scrambler, Syno 40s ~ 120s, carrier down. Simple like that, various ships have ben destroyed in this exact way, in our aliance and in the oposite one.

Trillian Stargazer:
- True enought, a cloaked ship cannot shoot you or scram you, but can warp clocked to you and put you in a scramble then open a syno.
- You can move to another system, there are 1000s of them. True, see above.
- You are new to the game so I wont be rude. This topic has been beaten to death and nothing will change. Cloaking is working as intended. I don't pretend to be rude, i pretend to be pragmatic, sorry if my english, make me seems rude...
- Yeah wrong, post... sorry again xD. And about a change... well if everyone think like you, whe boot are typing in a typewriter, well in fact we would not have computers, in first, place, then sorry. But let me, at least, try. Who knows? Maybe someday CCP hear our prays and make some changes? I want to believe. =D

Sentamon:
- Lets roleplay some. In fact your sugestion are good... In every fiction literature, whe have tractors, in fact whe have in Eve too, but the CCP limit the tractor to small wrecks, but a a bigger one for sure can tract a abandoned Ship... Ahn. Just no. The pos have weapons... Or maybe the shield interfere on tractor. Nah... This don't work. But about the docking bay it's a good idea, whe can make the contacts skills give this type of information, i just have my doubts what the purpose of this? In any case you can't enter in station and steal a ship. hehehe

Lady Areola Fappington
- Well as much as I do not like your idea, you are completely correct. I this case, i like to change my original idea.
Assuming that the laws of physics have not changed in the world of eve, i like to implement a active radar. Well i cannot see you, but i can touch, and if i can touch a sonar will receive a reverb, a answer, dont you agree? Lets see, where this will take us xD

For the others i don't have mentioned, i agree with you, or your answer is above, anyway thankx for your support.

Fly safe ppl.

I actually like this idea but it should only work on grid and should only provide a rough direction of where cloaked ship is by using the directional scanner + ping module and should be close to impossible with one person using it.

Note my corp name, all I do is cloaky stuff so I'm not in the least anti-cloaky or anti-afk'ing. However I recently got caught by a destroyer in a non-covert ops cloak ship and had the most fun time evading him while he buzzed around me trying to decloak. Then a bunch of his corp mates turned up and joined in. At one stage he got within 2100 of me.

Probably the most fun I had in EvE in a long time. Who doesn't like a bit of submarine warfare :)

I have no played for about a week, neither my friends, because someone stay cloacked in our sector.
I log for the cta (when have) and have nothing to do after thar.




As mean as it might be to say. When I get home for christmas, I'm going to travel to your region, and fly around ratting your sites all the while that theres another stupid AFK cloakie. Then after I show you guys its really safe, then I'm going to be not an AFK cloakie, but just fly around in your systems in a cepter scaring your miners. Cause I'm a horrible person like that. Maybe after I'm done yall will learn to work around the dangers of nullsec and learn a bit about what a real threat is.

And by moving it here it is now a duplicate thread. With that in mind:

OP, we already have a thread to talk about cloaking in. Post there instead of making a new thread.

Please check The List you'll find your idea or variants of it there.

Personally it sounds like the cloaked individual in your system is doing a good job of impacting your corps morale and ability to earn which is probably why he is there.

If your entire corp is going to let one pilot lock down your system without even being at the keyboard I no sympathy for you.

Sounds to me like the OP and his friends don't want to do any work to protect 'their' system or each other.

If you are going to run anomalies and generally carebear around in Low/Zero-sec then you need to step up your protection.

Fly in groups ----- wait let me guess, that impacts your ISK per Hour!!!!!!
Bait & Trap ----- wait let me guess, too much trouble and hard work.

To be honest, I think the OP is better off in Hi-Sec.

OP, isn't your allianced based in Esoteria and surrounding? I ask cause I often go there from low sec to do some exploration/anomalies and I see your alliance tag. When there I'm alone, with no intel, I know anyone there will be hostile, I've no way to know if someone is cloacked, docked, at a POS, if active or inactive and what ship will use. But still I can earn a really (really) good amount of ISK. And I don't feel the need of any special overpowered module to grant my safety.

On the other side you and your mates can realy on positive standings, friends backups, POS and outposts, intel channels, numbers, reship and refit as you please....

So, my question is: why I can farm and make money in your home systems and for you and your friends is such problem, so tragic to lead to unsub?

- First of all, ty for the link, here have great good ideas, and really some are very close to mine. About the morale, do you read my first post? My morale and of my comrades are just increased because our friend. After all, the CTA is the only thing whe can do for now, in fact, the numbers of coorpmates in cta has only increased.

Seranova Farreach
- Are you serious? And i'm the noob one? ****

Jint Hikaru
- Maybe you have touched the correct point. How to protect from a thing do not want fight? Enlighten me. Oh wise one.
Fly in groups? Let me gues, you don't have the work to read before post? Read before posting please.
Bait & trap, you must be kidding right?
To be honest i think you have to learn how to read before post.

Sura Sadiva
- ****!!!. Are you serious? Dont read too????

Ok i'm done...

Fly safe ppl, i'm abandoning the post, for me can be closed or deleted. Suit yourself mod.

A lot of ideas like yours have been proposed before. Some of the best can be found in this collection thread.
Mind you, ideas about anti cloaking weapons have been proposed as early as 2007.
