Cloaking afk.

During the Sat morning event, Yitterbum made it sound like you could manually "pulse" the module like once an hour and it would decloak everything in system. he made it seem liek manual so you couldn't time it or anything.

Then you had to probe stuff down manually

If the cloaker is truly afk, easy kill, if they are not afk, they can cloak back up after the 30 sec timer

I'd log onto his blog but I'm not registering with Google as long as they're cozy with aliens.
What I'd like to know is who taught that gorilla how to flip somebody off? Purely rhetorical.

If null instant local is removed, and system wide D-scan inhibitors are made available where you have to probe everything you can't see on grid (or isn't a celestial on overview) then cloaky pricks aren't going to be much of a problem. Unless you don't use a d-scan inhibitor, then ping away and kill the prick.


I bet people will quickly find out with cloaky pings that all those afk cloakers are not afk after all. This big game of Trolldinger's cat will probably come to an end.

This is the most inane idea that people have latched onto for years. They remove local from Null Sec and I would just go to a Worm Hole

You get more ISK and they can't hot drop you there.

People like Arronicus have to believe that people who hold a view point must do so for selfish reasons, because if they didn't it would mean that they might be on to something and that would challenge their worldview.

I get it all the time as a null sec anom farmer who isn't afraid of afk cloakers and also as a high sec mission runner who thinks all the people complaining about gankers are weak minded ninnys. RIGHT NOW Confederation of XXPizza is camping my Delve playground, screw em, they ain't gonna catch me and I'm still going to make isk.

Afk cloakers and gankers are just CONTENT with which those of us with actual space-balls can prove our game playing superiority, many of us actually LIKE having to outthink people in order to fill our wallets with filthy isk. The constant whining and begging CCP to nerf them (whether afk-cloakers or gankers) actually ends up nerfing US (the Indiana Jones in Space style PVEr) while doing nothing to the gankers and cloakers because they will just find another way to screw with people.

These anti- types can take their short sighted protectionism thinking and shove it up the nearest black hole.

Hey! Heeeyyy! OP, hold on a second!

Phew, I'm out of shape.

Here. You dropped this.

You really should pay more attention, these items are very dangerous to untrained users. I think I managed to get to it before anyeone else did.

You're welcome, take care!

not really surprising, the concensus was, when you lose your local, well give you the ability to hunt those of us who are AFK

theyre nuking local, so you get the pinpointer

its called balance

really no yeah for sure really

ok

How will they exclude people that cloak actively, not afk?
