I would like to propose another alternative to the AFK-Cloaking problem.

How about:

You give territorial claimed systems, a module. Like the strategic upgrades.

No cloacking possible in this system, because of an energy burst, or whatsoever. This means, system wide no cloaking. Also not for the allies.

Or: this modules allows once in 4 hours, to pulse a burtst of energy to decloack all ships in the system, and renders them in-operable for the coming 15minutes orso.

Using this module, would thus need to be more strategically used, and offers benefits and drawbacks.

Guys, dont mix tactical cloaking and when cloaker intentionally sit in local for weeks. Besides if you want to protect such gameplay, there is a solution which will ruin nothing, but also fix the problem.

If you sleep, your char should not play instead of you. What do you want to achieve while you sleep, afk? This is bot's pattern, making anything in the game while you sleep. Stop crying about your cloaked afk bot, play the game manually.

Personally I always thought if they implemented something to disrupt cloaking it should be a pos module that requirers a system strategic upgrade, much like the cyno jammer has.
There would also be a monthly cost for having the upgrade installed.

The cloaking disruptor would emit a system wide pulse every 10 minutes that would cause ALL cloaked ships to decloak.

Pros - For the system owners
Upgrade systems wouldn't have afk cloakers

Cons - For the system owners
Monthly upkeep cost
Own cloakers are also affected

Pros - For the Cloaker
Costing them isk and now you don't have to visit them to do it

Cons - For the Cloaker
Have to recloak every 10 minutes

while stopping people from having there toon cloaked in a system while they are at work so that they can return to a system with other players who have gone about their business and are easy targets for a quick ambush.

2. Unless things have change in the last year CCP has said they aren't removing local in null sec, get over it. Local was removed in W-space so that people have that game play if they want it.

3. Going about your business with an afk cloaker is exactly what they want you to do. Its a win win situation for the afk cloaker really, either you stop doing anything in that system

(they win by stopping you from being able to play without even being at the computer) or you go about your business (they win by being able to return to the computer with soft targets).

There is literally no down side or challenge to over come with afk cloaking, you always win and can never be killed (baring utter stupidity) or even threatened.

afk cloaking gains you an advantage by forcing other players to either treat you as an active player and stop local activity (even when your inactive) or treat you like your afk and go about their business. in the first situation the cloaker is stopping you from playing (earning is, mining ore, moving good, etc.) even if they aren't playing then (afk). In the second case the cloaker can attack you without your ability to react to their presence (accept for when they appear on your overview). They are gaining an advantage by either forcing you to stop playing or forcing you to assume they are afk and continue playing while they are not playing. This means that when they return they will either have a soft target (assuming the cloaker is still afk) or have shut down a system.

Again, i would be perfectly ok with this tactic if the cloaker were forced to be at the computer while doing this.

Exactly. Your gaining an advantage while being afk. You want to get easy kills (or the chance at them)
