Alright **** it, im biting
If you remove local in null/low sec then THERE IS NO AFK CLOAKING there is simply an empty local with no ships on scan - like most of the null/low sec systems in EVE.
OK???????????????????????
I admit I've afk cloaked before; mainly after popping a few red hulks or ratting ships. Once you've popped them a few times they tend to get wise to it and stay docked so its more effective to leave yourself logged on and tabbed out until the bears get desperate for some roids and undock again. You can't keep logging or they know when they are safe.
Setting local to delayed mode would suit my needs just fine. I don't see why cloaking needs a nerf just because local is used by people as their primary intel tool.

I see a simple solution to the afk cloak thing.
If they are cloaked and haven't done anything, haven't even moved the camera, for over an hour, they are probably afk. In that case, they should be logged off. Simple.
A more fun way (for some) would be that they remain logged on, but their cloak turns off... though that wouldn't make sense in universe.

This obviously had no thought put into it. AFK cloaking isn't always afk. Those of us in wormholes know this very well. I know that I've sat on a wh waiting for someone to come through and get comfortable many a time. You don't move a damn thing when you do this. All you do is focus the camera on the wh, put your game in windowed mode, and watch for the signs of somebody entering. This can take hours even on a hi sec wh in a heavily populated system. Naturally, I do other things while watching for this. The notion that I should be knocked out of cloak or logged off is ridiculous.
I'm betting that the op isn't trying to hunt afk cloakers. I bet an afk cloaker that he got too comfortable with seeing in local came back, found him, and popped him.

You sir, have no understanding of how unfair it is that someone else can play this game in a way that pleases them and makes it harder for me to go on my whiney ***gy carebear way.
Afk cloaking is Unacceptable and is killing EVE.

The first thread was entertaining, second one was decent as well, this one flops like terminator 3. Afk cloaker should have remained "afk". |

Solution : Every AFK Cloaker have to type in Local :
"Im going cloaked afk now" ... Problem solved.

A 'real pvper' is someone who joins a big fleet and clicks/shoots who the FC says.
Everyone else is clearly unskilled. |

I wish people would clearly realize the difference between cloaking for a reason and true AFK cloaking. Yes, if someone cloaks and then goes to a movie, they should be logged off. What problem could there be with a timer that logs someone off after inactivity. There are people who even think that docking is a form of logging off! The real "Crime" here is that they eat up bandwidth. They should be bumped off so someone else who wants to play can log in.
QFT. Same thing for being docked AFK.
:D

Wow, you mean that because some ships that have a module turned on that is supposed to make them "stealthy" you can't find them? OH NOES!!
Seriously, Lidleprick, grow a real pakage and deal with it.
Playing "hide and seek" for a few hours with a pvp'er's Hunter killer fleet is an amusing waste of my time, and a frustrating waste of theirs.
Cloaking and going AFK is a wonderfull way to keep eyes on a system if you bother to review your chat logs.
Of course since you obviously arent a scout, and don't understand the concept of having a stealthed spotter with a cyno deep behind enemy lines, CCP need to make it so you don't every have to worry about that.
REAL PVP'er my ass
Your tears taste better than a carebear's anyway, thanks for the meal.
