ok so bored sh!tless as work i read all 10 pages.....sad ik....what it came down to is a VERY small group of people cry about afk-cloakers. How they are there and they dont do anything and how they stop u from ur 00 mining or ratting or plexing. Its all just a bunch of people that have no clue how to problem solve. Ill give u a break down of the Cloaked ships just for u Mr topic maker:
Covert Ops: nothing but a scout/recon. doesnt do any DPS that matters, only good for afk-cloaking, probing out people, then pointing/tackling them for ur fleet/gang 1 just out to burn in and zap ur target(s) down.
SB: amazing glasscannons in every respect. Bombs and torps made this a amazing BC+ killing. and in groups of 4-8 can take whole fleets to their knees. But again. they arent anything that 5 light drones cant fix or even med. They are just paper thin at best and any ratting/plex ship ur hanging out in should be able to take it op easy. yes bomb hurt, but thats why we have SB to a new twist on cloaked warfare.
Recons: talking about the cloaked ones here, they are great for tackle someone down and letting ur gang/fleet jump all over them and zap them down. but they themselfs arent amazing at killing solo. Pilgrim can do amazing things but it has to pick and choose targets carrfully solo. Arazu, my favorite recon, has **** all DPS, but can lock down someone nicely until u get ur fleet in. its not about to go out soloing people. Rapier is an amazing frig killer solo like those dam dramiels. But again like SB, they ships are thin tankeds with just one real roll, tackling and recon work for fleets/gangs
Black Ops: Hands down the most underpowered ships in the game atm imo. They are just cloakingships fo thier t1 brothers. SIN, nothing but a overpriced nuet/nos domi, i cmake a better one with the Domi. Widow, its a falcon in all respects. keep it to that and u will do ok. But it isnt going to win any DPS race.Redremmer and pather, now those are some amazing DPS with nice buffer/active tanks, but nothing to much better then their t1 brothers. Yes tehy ahve a place when urs for what they are ment. But if someone is using one of these as a afk-cloaker u need to let me know ill move a alt into ur corp just waiting for them to come out with it.
All said and down, thats the basic break down of the cloakers. Covert ops, SB,Recons cant do much on their own. They arent anything to run and hide from if u know tehy are afk-cloakers. U just have to know that at any moment u will have to bug out. so if thats the case u have to have probes added to ur d-scan and just watch for them. also be aligned to something when ratting/plexing. And u shouldnt be mining solo anyways. So again there nothing about afk cloakers taht "op" "griefing" "needs a nerf" Nothing about them crys out nerf bat.
