I'm reminded of a story that I heard about Tom Clancy. Rumor has it that when he was in the U.S. Navy all of the submarines were shadowing Soviet vessels and that at one time these subs received orders from the Atlantic Fleet Command to single ping their shadowed vessels at the exact same time just to say, "Hi there! We're here and watching you."
Imagine all your cloakers lighting a cyno at the exact same time across multiple systems. I can only imagine the freaking out in the intel channels..

Bring neutral alts to the system you rat to make other "felllahs" dock or move from said system is also a current null sec tactic

Hell, we could get the newbees in on it and have them race to the cyno ships. |

Bring neutral alts to the system you rat to make other "felllahs" dock or move from said system is also a current null sec tactic Use neutral alt to cyno/batphone hot drop supers/titans is also done, use same tactics to kill juicy pirate dead space/officer fitted ships is a current null sec tactic. Of course not everyone does it but the number of them doing it is impossible to determinate.
I know it's a "current nullsec tactic", I just wondered if any of these highsec armchair generals had actually even attempted it

Goons are doomed, you heard it here first in this awful thread. A fitting place for the end of Goondom. Eventually this will come to pass. Nothing lasts forever and neither will the Goons. To think otherwise is foolish, look at the Roman Empire for one example. Not hating, just stating a fact. 
That's entirely true. Eventually, all things must pass. The Jerry Springer Show, Bieber, Goons-- all great things must someday end. |

It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

Difficult to do whilst AFK and also whilst having no more PvP knowledge than that provided by General Discussion forum memes learned whilst running missions in Motsu

AFK cloaking works for the first day. Once people realize you are just AFK, you are labled "Cloaky ***" in intel and people stop watching you.
Hot Dop on occasion and you might get some attention.

Just talk in local from time to time to show that you are not AFK. Then you got them running scared.
Oh, and don't forget to hotdrop a few carriers on some miners a few times, overkill as heck, but fun!

Afraid only half your plan there works. I hold conversations with any local cloakers I can get to respond. Hardly "running scared." |

Its amazing how buttmad some of them seem to, given that they are there to try and make us hurt.
You would think that saying 'hi' was equal to threatening to **** their mothers or something.
Ofc, there are also the cool ones, tho will keep chatting with you to lull you into a sense of false security.
