I personally feel that in order to balance out the "Lets cloak in a hostile system and afk for 10 hours" a change needs to be made to cloaks in general:
*All cloaks should use fuel (Perhaps heavy water) per activation cycle. *A stealth frigates / cruisers would get a 10-15% reduction in fuel usage per recon or covert op level.
The goal is to make people use cloaks for what they were intended, which is not sitting afk in system. Or letting macro npcers insta cloak every time someone comes in system.
Just my 2 cents. What do you think?

Cloaks work fine. Cloaked ships are Perfectly entitled to afk for hours if they want to. They should be left alone. www.eve-players.com |

I'd like a way to detect cloaked ships. Takeing a page from Star Trek maybe you could erect a Tacyon grid or something. Ships that go through it show up. Might be really useful for Alliances out in 0.0. Maybe even require soverenty before you can put it p. Then Alliances could better monitor who comes in and out of their systems.
As for requireing fuel? eh. Cloak is fine how it is. IMO the only problem is the complete lack of ability to detect a cloaked ship. Don't get me wrong. a cloaked ship shuodl be extremely hard to detect. I just think there shoudl be methods, preferably static type stuff, to detect them --------------------------------------------------- Have Rail's. Will travel.

i think they need to do a
cap consumtion that will drain cap with even the most heavly cap recharge bs and make stealth ships immue to the penalty

Why? Are you going to remove the 'unable to warp while cloaked' and 'targeting delay' penalties they get? If so you got a deal. --------------------------------------------------- Have Rail's. Will travel.

I think the best solution is that if you go afk for 15mins you connection should disconnect (a time-out server side). The only reason I go afk cloaked in a system is because I have to go out or the phone rings etc etc etc but I have been aggroed from rats or a player.
If I logged I could be probed for what was left of the 15mins, thus I do the above.
And for once I think I have posted a totally sensible and fair suggestion. --------------- What! Caldari have dps now... noooo Aye, T2 HAMs FTW!!!!! |

Like you have pointed out, afk cloaking is often for a fair reason, such as the phone, or visitors arriving unexpectedly etc, so I'm not sure its fair you should lose your ship due to RL. Also I dunno what your alliance mates would think of this tehehehe (j/k) :) ------------

Thankyou for being civil. Usually people would flame just because they are part of the opposition. People like yourself are a dying breed and I respect you (however I won't hesitate to pew pew at you ingame ) --------------- What! Caldari have dps now... noooo Aye, T2 HAMs FTW!!!!! |
