Naw. They had this idea to use some device that can detect the signature of the cloak ship. Too lazy to look up the dev talk way back.
I might find the link tomorrow if I'm too bored. |

Won't happen. Too many nullbears crying. They paid attention to all the bears in hi sec and now are howling at the moon with the rest of the playerbase.

Make a ship destroyer or cruiser that can fit a mod that lets out a 25km pulse like a smart bomb that un-cloaks stealthers. Done

and again we see the CSM are idiots. "Cautiously positive" really?
You have to be wary of somthing that can't actually hurt the game at all? We really do need a cloak hunter ship |

Well, for one thing it could very easily hurt WH space depending on how it's implemented. |

Why?!
It wouldn't help against AFK cloaking (which, by the way, isn't a problem). Only thing this would do is make it even harder for bombers and such to position themself before an attack.

Quote:possibility hypothetical The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

The question that the cfc is mulling over is does this hurt them or help them. Do they gain more economic benefit by parking afk cloakers in enemy systems versus putting up with the aggravation of it happening in their systems?
Once they have decided, they can tell the ex-goon (or is he still a goon, we don't know) lead designer whether they want this mechanic changed or not. But the ex-goon (or not) lead designer is a busy guy. So many ways to hammer high sec he has to complete first. You have to have priorities.
My best guess is nothing changes until null sec mining really kicks into gear (have a look at the CCP tweets on mining volume, it is ramping up). But the real need to wipe out the mechanic won't occur until ring mining is introduced, since enemy cloaked ships then could seriously threaten null sec income. That is most likely when the lead developer will decide that "afk cloaking is bad for the game." |

True, W-Space is pretty much dependent on the cloaking mechanic for survival. I do like the idea of a cool, sonar like mechanic where you attempt to ping down the ship, but it'd have to be very difficult, only work on coverts that have been stationary or on the same grid for a significant time.
The last thing we need is a tool that'll make every covert and t2 hauler in the game useless.
