Barely a month has passed since nanophoons were nerfed into the stone age and yet another cheap trick has begun to plague the world of eve. A cloaked sniper works much the same way as a nanophoon, they wiil pick on lone, weak ships and when a feasible opponent comes in they will run.
I think it would be a good idea for CCP to send cloaked snipers the way of the nanophoon. BEFORE we have to face months and months of uncatchable enemies.

lol how is a cloaked sniper like a nanophoon.. other than its a battleship..
unless they use large bubbles in conjunction with this then its pointless. They arent hard to kill anyway...

Cloaked snipers have been around as long as you could fit a cloak on a sniper BS.....
Sorry, thats a really obvious statement. To clarify these things have been around for years. Even if the thing is sensor boosted if it doesn't have tacklers or a bubble then it's not going to do squat unless you are:
A) Slow boating to the gate on autopilot when at war / in lowsec (see: suicide)
or
B) Asleep at the helm when at war / in lowsec (see: suicide)
The impact the cloaking device has on the ability of the battleship to lock is huge, enough time to either warp off or MWD back through the gate.

uuuuh uhhhhhhhh its the game....sighs and collapses lifeless
Are you like spokesperson for lone weak 'sniff boo hooo' ships society
None covert ship with cloak is gimped enough with lock time associated with uncloaking. Near enough no speed when cloaked.
If your gonna hang around long enough after he uncloaks then hmmmm perhaps you need a nano ship so you can erm nano away or something.
Oh wait weren't they nerfed or something by the lone weak 'sniff boo hoo' ship we know best politically correct society.
Surely instead of whinging about such things be inventive and counter these threats with a lil ol ingenuiety.... you might even enjoy the game a lil more.

Option 1: Add Shield Extenders/Hardeners to your Badger Option 2: Bring some sort of escort. Option 3: Set up a trap or do something clever.

here's an idea. when you next find a sniper using a cloak get your own covert ops ship, cloaked sit near his location, and warp in your heavy hitters at close range. now he can't cloak and he can't run. viola!

lollerskates.
If you can't deal with cloaking, which already presents challenges to the user, then you need to maybe take a look at said mod and try it yourself mate.

1. Takes you beween 2 and 5 seconds to lock him so he can't cloak 2. Takes him a fair while before he can even attempt to lock. With his nerfed scan res. 3. Where exactly is he going at 15m/s?
I see no issue tbh

STFU dude, seriously. Gate snipers already got nerfed enough, if they cloak thats fine enough by me its a valid tactic.

The annoying thing about cloakers is that they can sit there for hours and hours, with no way of flushing them out or getting rid of them. Its been a problem for a while though. ----------------------------------------------------

hm so this person didn't pay attention in low sec and got wtfpwned by a bs that decloaked.. waited out the timer before he could lock, lock, shoot u, kill ur ship before u got to the gate or were able to warp away from the gate so now everybody should think this is another cheap trick and ccp should nerf it?
Now if the bs had decloaked and immediatly started locking u, now that would have been interesting (cuz that would have been one hell of a nasty exploit hehehe)

Funny. Comes from a guy in an alliance who has to send 35 people to kill a lone raven, and fails. Or have 100+ people in local, and still are able to loose stuff in some interesting ways
Just because you fit a claok on a ship doesnt make it uber, we have fought guys who has tried doing the same... and again they failed. Get a clue and stop blobbing.

To the OP: any idiot that allows his hauler to be killed in the time that it takes to uncloak, lock a hauler and then destroy it w/ a cloak fitted sniper BS deserves to die anyway. How incompetent can you get?
Because I said so...

Cloaked snipers have been around for donkey's years, even used to use one myself two years back (when 7x magnetic field stabilizers was the order of the day)... ----------

Cloaked snipers are not the new nanophoon... unless cloaks only fit on phoons all of a sudden? Not that I would mind, minnie being the hit and run race and all.
Minnie should be like NOD in Command & Conquer 3. :)

Cloaked snipers are seriously gimped, you gotta suck hardcore to be in a ship that can be one-shotted by them hanging around somewhere long enough for them to get lockon. Remember, SB's are stack nerfed now and 50% sigrez reduction on the cloak bites hard. _________________ [SAK] Alumnus--And Proud Of It! -- aka Cpt Bogus Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?

Even I'm not that experienced in PvP and I can tell cloaked snipers are not the new nanophoon.
Seriously, it takes between 10-15 seconds to just LOCK you, let alone the 0.5-1 second delay of getting his weapons online and firing on you.
10-15 seconds is more than enough to get a non-travel-fitted hauler out of there, or out of a bubble with a MWD.
Seriously, get a clue will you? -
