Originally by: Awfee Having Covert Ops cloaked is not the problem. It is having tech 2 Battleships...
Tech 2 Battleships? When did we get those??
Originally by: Radioactive Babe Most people would never stoop to this crap of afking just to annoy the hell out of everyone...
If local didn't give you an un-counterable advantage in detecting a hostile in your system? Yes. That's correct. They wouldn't have to stoop to that crap.

Wow, generalize much?
Seriously, tell me how a pilot in a cloaked ship is supposed to sway you into lowering your guard ù either to gain a tactical advantage in a direct assault, or merely to spy on your operations ù if by simply glancing at a chat tab, you know they are there?
Like it or not, the "low low" tactic of deceiving you into believing they are AFK is often the ONLY way a cloaked pilot can perform "covert" maneuvers.

Logoff any player idle for more than 30 minutes if his ship is not on autopilot.

Oh yes there is...and in the real life science world too...do a google search for "entanglement" and see what you come up with.
mm no need to search but you might?

Originally by: Dimitrios Ypsilanti Scenerio: Right now there's a sov system in 0.0 that's being camped by about 10 cloaked hostiles. These players are able to stay in system 23/7 with complete impunity because there's no way to find a cloaked ship.
They are AFK most of the time. Checking the system periodically. When they see a lone hauler they're able to take it out, retreat to a safe spot, cloak up and go back to doing something else: eating, heading to work, sleeping, whatever.
Meanwhile everyone else in that same system is spending all of their online time looking over their shoulders or running around trying to find the cloaker.
Problem Statement: The current cloaking system provides these players with the safest position in the game (aside from being docked). And it allows them to effect the play of dozens of other players even when they aren't even online.
Proposed Fix: A Tech II probe that lets the prober find a cloaked ship. This could be a slow process (say, ten minutes or so). And maybe it's a little inaccurate, landing the prober within 20 km of the cloaker.
If the cloaker is actively playing the game (logged in, watching the system) this shouldn't effect his play very much at all. He knows that he'll have about 10 minutes once he's cloaked before people start getting close to him, unless they get lucky. He can play the game along with everyone else and move every ten or fifteen minutes.
But this gets rid of the AKF cloaker. This "player" can reasonably expect that if he goes to work with his ship cloaked in a hostile system he'll come back to find himself podded and back in his home station.
Again, these people aren't "players." They may not even be interacting with Eve at all while they keep their target system tied up in knots. Cloaking, without a counter allows people to put in a tiny ammount of effort and adversely effect the gaming experience of 100s of people.
in the process..why not eliminate fleets, gank camps altogether...that way ..we'll satisfy Mr and Mrs cry baby
i don,t get players that cry because of a legitimate game tactic...remeber EVE =10% skills + 10% fit + 80% grey mater (tactics)
if he has the guts and tactic to get behind enemy lines and stay there...he has earned the right to do so....even AFFK...
