Player Features and Ideas Discussion

You act as if you have support for that idea.

You mean your delusions, because there's not a shred of evidence to prove anything you are saying.

If CCP thought that your suggestion was the right fix, they would have done it years ago as there is nothing new about it. It's just cloak-fuel. Your idea has been heard and deemed idiotic. Move on.

CCP wants to decrease the safety of ratters, not increase it. Your suggestion would only make them more safe, not less.

Again, you still act as if you have support for this.
Also repeating the same bad idea doesn't make it a good idea. It just makes it a bad idea being repeated.

Wait, did you just admit that your idea is just something you came up with and that it has zero evidence or fact to back it up?

Thank you for confirming that. We can just isn't l ignore your ideas from now on as works of fiction.

At least I retain the ability to see my errors, admit it and fix them. You on the other hand are slaved by your enormous ego which stops you from seeing and admitting your mistakes as well as listening to the echo-chamber in the empty space between your ears.

I have yet to see Brokk/Jerghul give a serious reply to the concept that local kills content. A roaming gang comes through, because of local people dock up and stay docked until that gang leaves. Guy comes into system and cloaks up, because his presence is seen in local, people dock up and stay docked up.

Without local this would not, and could not happen.

Now, maybe simply removing local is too much, but the notion that removing AFK cloaking and there will be an explosion of content is just erroneous nonsense being spewed by a sockpuppet.

I thought we were waiting for moderators.

Just can't stick to your word.

Sister, dearest.

Its not about me. I have mentioned that many times already.
I will admit to ratting recently as I like crimson harvest. But it generally is not my cup of tea at all.
Nor is it about using peak times for PvE (which is the underlying assumption of your suggestion).

afk cloaky camping kills content in nullsec. It keeps ships docked up and much safer than they could ever be undocked (barring being afk and cloaked of course).

Ratpack
We will just have to await the moderators verdict on that.

Anywho.

"Introducing command burst style charges to cloaks (equivalent of a 5 hour timer). Effects 0-sec on a daily basis. Order of magnitude indicated:

100ds less afk cloaky camped systems (a double digit % reduction)
10s afk cloaky campers killed due to human error (becoming uncloaked after 5 hours and probbed down)
1000nds more ships in space
100ds more ratters (and others) killed.
Higher bounty revenue (double digit % increase)"

Removing local without replacing it with other real time information mechanisms will leave null-sec as dead or deader than wormhole space. The perception of safety can only be fostered under that condition. Players will undock far less often if the perception of safety is missing.

Removing local kills content so effectively it would render afk cloaky camping redundant.

Your idea would have the exact opposite effect. Getting rid of local and training players to be less carebearish gets more ships in space.

I still have a hard time believing you want more PvP targets, given your idea makes PvE-ing in null even safer than it already is. If you really wanted to have a lot of targets for small gang hunting, you'd move to LS or to a WH with a null or low static. You'd have more targets than you know what to do with.
