I love this!!!!! Frege and Rise are the only ones saying yeah nerf it. Is it because Burn Eden are fing you up, or are soon to f you up? Lets take a look at this shall we.
CCP took away our stabs.... torps, gave you more hp, speed.
WTF else do you want CCP to do. Face it you guys are bad, we will continue to kill you, now stop whinnig about cloaks, I cant shoot you when Im cloaked, so suck it up, and give me more faction loot!

Nothing wrong with the cloaking sniper Phoon.
What I always wished for though is the ability to warp to any ship (not just gang mates). Not sure why this is not allowed. Some way this imbalances things I am missing?
My only real problem with the sniper setups is that you need to be a sniper yourself to hit back. If you try to drive to them they are looong gone before you ever get there. I know...get a tackling covops out there but still...would like more than just that one option.

I'll probably get into trouble for saying this but the problem is with the people in charge of the gangs trying to catch the burn eden guys they wont listen to any one else's plans and carry on warping blobs from gate to gate.
The burn eden guys tactics are really good so we would need actual tactics to find/catch them.
I'm a stealth bomber pilot and they're doing what I do to people so when I mention tactics that would screw me over in a SB no one pays attention.
So basically I've got fed up and moved else where for the time being.
Also the people who are getting killed are getting caught coz either they aren't listening to intel or not thinking at all. (or in some cases trying to catch them by themselves)

Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari 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?
Yup, and on top of that you have the 20 seconds of sensor recalibration after uncloaking before you can lock anything

Originally by: ghosttr 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.

Yeah and a hundred ibises are great. But if those idiots in the noob ships decided to fly battleships instead, they would be a lot more effective. Ship for ship, stealth bombers are amongst the worst ships out there. Having lots of them isn't a good thing, its a lost opertunity to field mroe effective ships.

Burn eden has been using this for awhile and we employed it recently to fend off an attack by a much large opponent on our homespace, and eventually drove them off after popping alot of their cruisers and tacklers from 150km out (though not all out snipers were cloaked, we saw great advantages in adapting this tactic for the future). It has a great demoralizing effect, and the cloak itself has enough drawbacks as to not make them overpowered.

Cloaked sniping BSs are fine. The thing that ****es me off is that every single NPCer fits a cloak and insta-safes and cloaks as soon as I enter local. A lot of them even fit a cloak and a stab. It angrifies me. -

I guess this thread has nothing to do with the fact that BE is having a 100:1 kill ratio against your alliance, does it?
Using cloaked snipers is not a new tactic, been around for ages. Adapt or die.
Tank god BE comes and stir upp the NAP fest in drone regions. Good work!

What's new about cloaked snipers? They've been around since i started playing more than a year ago (and they've been around way before that)
Annoying as hell though, yes. Cloak should take cap or something so pilots cannot sit cloak indefinitely

get a frigate with a fast transversal and lots of mids fill the mids ALLLL with sensor boosters and an afterburner (or mwd, if your frig has too low a base speed). When the guy uncloaks lock him, and get that transversal up. He cant recloak and will sudenly get really nervous.
For added comedy, uncloak a recon next to him, and watch him get his **** pushed in.

I am almost to a point I could fly a Nano-BS... and it gets Nerfed...
I can use a Cloak... must be time to nerf that...
What else can I learn so it can get nerfed?

Actually, not so fast there shin ra. The problem SB's have really traditionally have come down to bang-per-buck. But that seems to of shifted with the changes in the t2 market at the moment.
Now, assuming one has GOOD missile skills, including Cruise V and all the missile support skills up to at least IV, a manticore can be built for under 20mil, with an improved cloak , named launchers, some istabs in the low and a rack of sensor boosters (and maybe a passive targetter for psychological reasons) in the mid.
That 20 mil ship , can engage at 100kms, and hit a hauler for 1200hp per salvo at a rate of a salvo every 6 or 7 seconds, aligned and able to gtfo at the first lock.
ASSUMING that 'core is partnered with a good tackler, like a dictor or a recon with good tackling bonuses, he'll provide some pretty impressive DPS to the equasion, at a cost where who cares if the ship is lost. A good manticore pilot should reasonably expect 15-20 kills per loss for a ship half the price of a blinged out crow and a tenth of the price of a T2 fitted recon. Sure, when a manticore was a 50mil investment it was a silly buy. But at 20mil fitted well, its pretty easy to see its strategic role as a highly survivable gang DPS ship. ______ Unrepentant Southern Federation Cheerleader.

is the op a joke.
who is going to kill you in a sniping BS with a cloak on.
Either you jumped into a camp with tacklers and bubbles (you were going to die whether the BS was cloaked or not) or you were being terribly stupid in empire.
2nd this tactic is not new at all. It was pretty lame when the snipers were loaded up on WCS, but now its not so bad.
Now a cloaked smartbombing BS loaded up with WCS. Maybe that could catch on.

Rarely have I read such an ill-thought out rant.
1) Cloaks increase your lock time. You can just warp away from the sniper before he kills you. Unless he has a 150km scram fitted?
2) He can't warp without revealing position. So he is 100% static.
3) Sniping ships are incredibly vulnerable - 1 ceptor and its bye bye.
Anyway, remind everyone here whats preventing you from just warping away from these oh-so-scary cloaked snipers...

Cloaking snipers isn't a problem.
Snipers with damps (the only ewar worth using, ever) are far more absurd.
Actually, Damps in general are just stupid. You can cut down locking range AND make them take longer to lock, and it's a 100% success rate? Damps need an ECM-grade nerf. I should not be able to fit a damp or two and force someone to come within BLASTER RANGE to be able to target me.
And god help them if they're already there, because I'll sit outside their locking range and just use drones, withdrawing them ever 45 seconds or so so that they never get a lock.

Edited by: madaluap on 16/04/2007 23:22:01 Having problems getting some arazu or [insert any other covert cloak vessel] together. Warp to gate in hauler, they decloak, you click in the exact direction of where he decloaked than move towards him. Check how much M/S you are going and calculate the ammount of time it takes to get in 20 km range. Warp another hauler to gate, they pewpew some more and lolololololol what is that! a decloaked arazu, warp rest of gang in and than pew pew them back. Or just wait for agro and jump in 10 tempest on gate and instapop a bs.
So many ways of killing em _________________________________________________ Breetime
