Better yet, I'll agree for for a timed cloak only if stealth bombers get their EHP increased to 20k minimum from just 1k.

You can find a submarine, but not a AFK cloaked SB.
I have been in tese situations myself, annoying, but i adapted and i don't complain about it.
This is technically true, but somewhat misleading. A modern attack submarine, that intentionally stays away from targets is almost impossible to find. I War World II, the germans had a couple of re-fueling submarines, that hid from the allies. They were never found dispite great effort and partial breaking of the code. They hid near greenland, and only came up at nite, if no allied ships were around. Generally Speaking, Submarines are only "findable" when actually hunting targets. The thing that is overpowered compared to RL is Local. Local would be equivalent of a device that would tell you the exact number of submarine withing 20 miles, the hull number, and the name of the captain. Local is also the equivalent of a device on a sub that tells the player the number of ships, and hull numbers of all surface ship within 20 miles. If we want to make more like RL sub warfare, local is what has to go first. The problem with null sec is not that the risk is too high, but that the nullsec/high sec reward ratio is too low. If the mineral content of null sec only ore was double or triple, a lot of these complaints would go away, IMO.

You could keep local but just make it like wormhole local where you only appear if you talk. I have had some very funny conversations with cloaked scouts from an enemy alliance in the past.
But why not just make sure your hulks can tank the damage of the stealth bomber ? Use a Orca to give combat bonus instead of mining imagine a SB dropping a bomb on your little hulks only to see it do not even half damage due to the warfare link Shield Harmonization being active. You can make a very effective tank this way. (Checked it in efit when my last corp was in wormhole space, needed a way to tank the sleepers.)
Use drones to kill him. Place cans around the belt with large tech 2 warp disruption bubbles. Get him tangled up in the roids your mining. Make bookmarks so you wont get caught in them. Or even better get some of your corp to fly defense? I guess you never did see the you tube vid of the pvp hulk ? And to prove it can be done here is the you tube link pvp hulk But that would mean actually playing with other people in game.

Get rid of local.
A stealth bomber AFK would then do nothing to stop operations.
So, is the unprobable T3 in a safespot the wormhole equivalent to the AFK cloaker?
So.. pretty much always assume that your ship has no crew or can warp light years but can't have a scanner operate withou you clicking incessantly and even there not even know if a ship is anywhere around if its cloaked?
Great, then the miners and ratters would move more and more to high sec ... less targets.
Without Local we'd have a lot less idea of who we were playing the game with.. less chance to know our competion, even meet allies seeing them in local each night or convoing them for cooperation. All the planets, stations, and gates look the same....what makes jumping around interesting to me and makes me feel like I'm actually going places and places are different is the names in local.
I play to PVP ..even when trading its a cat and mouse game. I want interaction with other players, friend and foe .
Most of all I want more targets. I want more people in 0.0 (no concord to shoot at me because i want to pvp) . Miners and PVE'rs are good targets... don't scare them off.... give them ways to switch to pitchfork mode instead of turtling or moving to high sec. I like to cloak, but knowing that they could find me if I didn't move now and then actually make me fly my ship instead of surfing the internet on the other monitor...actualy playing the game shouldn't be much a chore...
..and to the other person who said something about my complaint meaning that all players should be logged off ater 15 minutes of inactivity? Yeah, why not.... seeing all those people in stations who aren't at their comptuer is also kida dumb ... logging back in or running over to click the keyboard a coupld times whil making dinner to preserver chat intel isn't that much of a hardship.... either your'e in the game or you're not... i'm ok with being consistent there.

Edited by: Terminal Insanity on 30/09/2010 17:25:19 So lets see here...
1) "High security" space provides your security, so you really do not care if theres an AFK cloaker in the system. 2) In 0.0 space, you have no concord. Due to the lack of concord, you have to suddenly worry about the AFK cloaker. 3) 0.0 Space is also supposed to be player-driven. 4) There is another thread somewhere, players want to take the role of Concord in Jita.
Well, heres an idea
1) Man the **** up. 2) Create your "concord" wannabie alliance/corp/whatever. 3) Guard all these carebears in 0.0. 4) ??? 5) Profit?
Edit: oh wait, sorry, i missed the part where you want to just bear in 0.0 as if it was highsec and not take any added costs OR risks. Continue moaning.

Make cloaks burn fuel - isotopes, stront or something in a qunatity allowing a ship to stay constantly cloaked for maybe 60 minutes with a big hold, for stealth-ships like recons, SB make it last up to maybe 3 hours, for black ops make it up to 6 hours of cloak without refuel.
Cloaks are indetectible - still true. Cloakers can make great ops, runs, etc based on their cloaking devices almost without limit - true Cloakers can't afk-cloak the entire days or months just to ruin other peoples experiance - true!

The ones running the markets are usually involved in some way with industrialists.
If no one looses ships and modules then noone would buy them, PVPers create the demand that the industrials supply.
Quote:
Your counter method involving the miner to purchase a second account to counter the guy who already has two accounts is exactly what CCP would want, more money. so you're suggestion is spend RL money to counter an ingame mechanic? Not very strategic. "solve all your problems by spending money on it." brilliant, brilliant. really.
Use a friend then, mine in a group with tanks and combat drones, lay a trap, but two accounts to counter two accounts doesn't seem unbalanced to me.

Originally by: Razor Vision Without miners there would be no materials. Without materials there would be no way to build ships or modules.
You appear to be forgetting the existence of loot drops, hauler spawns and drone alloys (throughout the drone regions and in missions in highsec).
I would wager that these sources combined account for a greater share of mineral production than mining, and far more people contribute towards them (especially in the drone regions, where people effectively mine with their guns).
They have been nerfed, don't you remember?
I know the composition of some of the drone alloys has changed, and I think meta 0 loot might have been removed from some locations, but that still leaves an awful lot of stuff that just gets melted down, not to mention the hauler spawns. Would you care to elaborate if I've missed anything significant? --- 34.4:1 mineral compression |

Actually thinking about it then maybe local should change in 0.0 to behave like wormhole space in that unless someone broadcasts they do not show up. This would make 0.0 so much more a team dynamic and prices would go up due to lower supply benefiting those that make the effort to harvest and exploit 0.0 resources.

Originally by: kasiloth If anyone of u has the same problem and has something better to propose please do it here.
Sorry mate but if you can't use just a little imagination to play this game to your own advantage and outsmart your enemies then yes, you are a lazy carebear...
To give you the benefit of a doubt, here are some directions for you: - Jump clones - Use other activities until the threat has retired (if you choose to spin your ship on station, your problem) - Form a small gang escorting your mining op with cruisers using drones and sweep the area until the threat uncloaks. The nice part is - if he is really AFK - he won't see what hit him... ;)
There are so many ways to counter this type of invisible threats, you just need to think out of your box.

Edited by: Mr Kidd on 30/09/2010 20:24:00 From what I've seen in this thread the argument is cloaked ships should not be able to cloak forever and go afk. Why?
Lets see, the reasons so far are:
1) It's unfair. 2).........there is no #2 see #1.
Why is it unfair?
The answer? Because apparently single afk cloakers have the magical ability to bring alliances to their knees.
Why?
The answer? Because it's a danger to those in that system and noone wants to undock.
Seriously, is that a legitimate reason? Of course not. I have a solution, however. There is a place for those of you too afraid of cloakers in your nullsec system. It's called Empire. Go there. Be safe. Then you can mine, rat, mission to your heart's content without fear of being shot at.
I'm not really a pvper but, dayam, this makes me want to come into nullsec and take over.

If he is just sitting cloaked then what is the big deal? He can't hurt you cloaked. If he de-cloaks, pop and pod. Then your system is safe.
Maybe i'm ignorant, but when people complain about afk cloakers, I always get suspicious that what they are really complaining about is the strain said cloakers place on their macro bots.

Originally by: Lillith Starfire Cloak = safe.
you are only half correct there. Cloak = Safe; Cloak = No Threat.
the ONLY way a cloaker is not a threat is if they are working with a fleet. if you only see one person, then there is no fleet.
also, cloaks are supposed [designed] to make the ship safe. that's what they do. an AFK Cloaker is no more a threat than a pitbull in China, when i reside in the US.
once again: playing the game wrong, or playing the wrong game...

This. So-called "PVPers" defend this ship because:
a) It allows them to PVP to virtually ZERO risk to themselves.
b) Forces everyone (but themselves) to remain active and full alert, evetually wearing them down.
Players that go AFK hours and days at a time to keep systems on lockdown are akin to macro players.

What, just like Original Posters with 10 multiboxed accounts all mining semi-AFK (oo look! being generous) who can't even be bothered to bring some fight to the equation? Where's the difference between AFK cloaking and AFK mining? Just deal with it. If you can't deal with it, don't try and mine in nulsec.
Some minor changes to fit and operational doctrine would make the threat trivial-to-manageable.

Don't take over. Grab a couple-3-4-5 pals (6-8 is a great number), make some chips n dip, a couple cool ones, and set up shop on busy jump bridges...in Stealth Bombers of course.
After you blow up some **** generating tears like this thread OP...the offended parties might even respond sluggishly. Bomb a couple of them then slip out of system to another bridge or go take a well deserved break making sure you stay logged on but cloaked for fine fine sippable lickable whine
