Since the Falcon is "Being delt with" it's time to choose a new whine topic.
I have seen threads asking for more nano nerf and nerf to RR gangs but my personal suggestion is cloaking.
Since one very cheap module with very low skill requirements and low fitting requirements can currently be used to make any ship in the game (aside from freighter, jump freighter and shuttle) completely disappear with no chance whatsoever of being found unless you have a very good idea of exactly where they cloaked, this seems like a good place to start whining for a nerf.
My suggestions: (note, all of these suggestions are for the NON-Covert Ops Cloaks and do not apply to the BOps since they are a problem of their own.)
1) Multi slot modual. Cloaks now use 1 high, 1 mid and 1 low slot thus further gimping the setup.
2) Scaling fitting requirements. Fitting is based on mass thus a frigate might be able to get away with one and even a cruiser but any other ship would severely gimp their CPU output and thus, their setup.
3) Allowing a single cloak to only cloak a certain mass. Thus, to cloak a Raven you might need 6 cloaking devices etc. Thus, cloaking ratters are no longer viable and cloaking caps in impossible but other ships could benefit from it if they sacrifice their fitting.
4) Cap use on cloaks. Cloaks require x amount of cap every 10 seconds and cap recharge on a ship is 0 while cloaked. Make x calculated from the mass of the ship such that a ship has only a limited time which it can cloak for. A titan for instance would blow it's entire capacitor in 30 seconds or so because its mass is so high. A carrier might last a minute and so on.
5) Change the mechanic. Cloaks still prevent activating mods, you can see the ship on overview and scanner but the sig radius of the ship is reduced by 90% and it is immune to all electronic warfare. Note, the ship still cannot warp while cloaking or for 10 seconds after the device has deactivated. Cloaking effect is not lost if you move within 2km of something..
Haven't thought about the last one much but it sounds fun.
Any further suggestions?

have they become problems on your cruizar ops? hmm???
You know it. Damm cloaking Ravens gettin' me down.
Don't even get me started on the log off mechanics.

I guess you didn't notice the penalties on cloaks already. You know the ones that are in effect even when they're offline?
The scan res penalty is not applied when the cloak in off-line. Undock and test it. Thanks for stopping by though.

To the op, why is it you think this is necessary? 
Primarily because of cloaking titans.
In fact, solely because of cloaking titans.
I'll test out the cloak thing though I've tested it before. If I'm wrong, then my apologies.
Fixed the title too since the attempt at humour went terribly.

HOLY ****!!!!!
is that all you people do? find the next thing to ***** about? need some hobbies or something to do in your spare time.
nah hees sXi they go on random cruizar ops... but when waiting for the next op the whine about all the noobs who used cloaks when they jumped in and how they could not get that faction fit raven to add it to their KB...all they do
For some background, Bacon was kicked from out training corp about a week ago. I've got some hilarious forum logs of him posting about his "personal problems" but here really is not the place.
Back to cloaking. The idea of a fuel cost is good but saying they are 'fine' is a little one sided since they are currently a very easy too used for keeping capitals safe without the need for a POS.
