Make a Cloacking device "random password protected"(password mechanics already implemented on POSES). First cyckle for free. 1 cycle lasts 2.5 minutes. each 10 cycles you get triple cycle(enough to go toilet or make coffee) Each activation needs to be "minigame" 4 digits code pop up on display and pilot have only to press 4 digits popping up in randomised row as buttons t.ex. CODE popping up is 8596 Randomly placed buttons appear close to each other abowe the capacitor as 6985 or 8659 and pilot have to press buttons in right sequence.
Such method will "ban" AFK cloacking, will do impossible script CLOACKing and give possibility to active pilots easy control their cloacking without any interference with game mechanics.
Very simple code changes, it can be done on client side with randomise password forwarding from Game Server for bot protection. |

Yay another one. Yea lets bring the joys of captcha to eve.
Btw there are some players that legitimately use afk cloaking defensively. It's all not just harassers. |

Examples?
Watching an enemy's station? Being a Twitch streamer? Both of them are not fully AFK most of the time, but they rely on undisturbed cloak to do their job. Especially Twitch streamers in this hostile, triggerhappy environment where people rather shoot than let a known, non-hostile neutral pass by.

Same rules should apply to you when you idle inside pos shields or a station.
Enter your code wrong and you get ejected from the station/pos shields.

Those who streams - go play journalists IRL, or be a part of battle as IRL, who cares if streamer will be killed? Closer RL, more adrenaline. |

It's two total different mechanisms. Poses have to be filled by petrol and it consumes. Don't forget about that.
Station is something special in working mechanics, you fit, trade etc. It is enough dangerous to be popped on Dock/Undock even you have a dock/undock bookmark. |

Lol.
Afk cloaking is only disrupting people's activities when said people are doing something they know is stupid. Like ratting in a supercarrier.
Yet they still do that a lot, and you would want to remove the only thing that effectively brings a slight risk to their otherwise ultra-safe farming activities ? G££ <= Me |

Sorry mate, IF you want to stop anybody - you might risk or spend your time.
AFK cloacking is a mechanism that is not balanced at all in game mechanics. You can not make a gameplay AFK in any kind of activity but AFK cloacking. Also AFK generate more load on server, all have it's "time out" - in case of eve - implementing "activity timer" t.ex. 10 minutes, if nothing done - logoff will cause mass kill of supers safety stored on Poses wtihout cloack. NO?
Let see, active "lamp" fishing by close same mechanism as "suicide" in empire - sitting and waiting until some baits. And t.ex. suicide have 100% death rate because of Concord, how many lamps have you seen on KB? often they are not even in list of killers when we speak about carrier/super.
Since we are not speaking only about lamps, also system spy for regroup systems, lamp on other side of gate, where miners/campers monitoring income...
It will ease to kill a mining fleets as well as do problematic to kill a Super rattling. |

Oh and the word is CLOAK, not cloack.

You would be a good troll if it wasn't for the fact that you've started two threads about two of the most argued over topics on this forum and followed the troll handbook to the letter by not answering perfectly reasonable questions and continuing to write terrible English (although it slips into not too terrible at points - more troll evidence) with terrible arguments.
1/10 to this obvious troll. |

he's right the server load from people being cloaked and afk is terrible and on that basis anyone who's not done anything within 5 mins of their last action should be logged out of the game and all their stuff blown up regardless of if they're in space or docked in a station or at a pos the servers just can't take people doing nothing and not interacting with the game any more!! and there should be a button that you can click that bans anyone in the game who cloaks or goes afk or who runs from a fight or does anything you don't approve of |

I really doubt your AFK cloaky problem is that extreme it's causing tidi, which means the load of the cloaky in your system is causing no real strain on the servers.
So going to have to call horse **** on this one.
keep trying

Oh sure, because everyone knows that when you're afk, and thus unable to move to the grid where the fight is occuring, you generate more load!... Or not.
Please refrain from making assumptions that can be dismissed by basic logic. What generates server load is that during a fight, each pilot's actions have to be broadcasted to the rest of the pilots on grid. This is an exponential increase in load.
If you're afk and thus unable to warp, thus in a place where nothing happens, you do not generate more server load when the server cannot handle it, i.e during a fight. The rest of the time when there is no Tidi, the load you generate is by nature irrelevant because the server can handle it just fine.
Afk cloaking is the only thing that makes having or not a local, less important. Because it forces you to pay attention to your Dscan and use you brain whatsoever. So that you feel a bit more like in W-Space :p

You try to focuse on "server load" instead of mechanism that bans AFK cloaking(thanks mate who corrected me).
Who is troll in this case? Me? Or you, trying to avoid discussion by trolling my English.
If you are afraid that this idea will be seen by dews and some of it comes to be truth, go on, continue to show me how clever you are. It's going be cool.
Any other ideas? Described better please. |

Also, prove me why i need evidence something to you?
AFK cloaking is not balanced by activity timer(forced logoff) or use of petrol(costs, cargo volumes, availability in market, may be racial cloak isotopes?) or thermal skills(overheating generated).
It is "on" whole time why i need to think that it is not unbalanced thing? Give me a prove. |

You make claims and give the idea, the onus is then upon you to provide proof and facts to back them up.
So what if it's on all the time? Cloaks have counters and they also have inherent restrictions. You have yet to show why being AFK and cloaked, isn't balanced.

"Us" was used because he ment me and him. There are more of us, who would like to see the proof.
The whole idea looks to me very stupid, since if that "Are you AFK?" question will popup at exact the same second I will decide to decloack and target, I will be very angry. Sit still in cloak and wait for the right moment to attack is the vey basic of cloacking warfare. If the popup window will disturb my timing , that is a reason for unsubscribe and go find better game.
My capacitor recharder is "on" whole time, lets balance it as well ( best - with some faction isotopes), should we? |
