1) no they are not a problem
2) this idea is [insert desired profanities and censored materials] and would make life hell for those who are not afk and doing something cloaked. |

You're also sitting there doing nothing.
You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world. |

Go and AFK cloak near someone.

AFK cloaking IS a problem, and all the people who are here disagreeing are the ones who do it themselves while they're at work.
A module timer and increased cap usage (similar to the new sentry gun change coming) would do this good. |

Compounding capacitor use per cycle.
Example- 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 cap use
Now you ask what about ships who are supposed to use cloaks? Add in a bonus, either flat or per t2 skill. But at the same time, balance it out so a ship that is SUPPOSED to cloak can do so for about an 1.5 hours with out specialized fitting.
Sound good? How about something easier and less detrimental to regular cloak users? Add a tachyon probe for probe launchers that lets you scan down cloaked ships. Long scan time and low signature strength so people on the move are fine, but those at rest for long periods are sitting ducks... /solveproblem /stopwhine

yeah what the game definitely needs is the end of all non-fleet activity in nullsec
let me tell you how difficult it is to warp a bomber around looking for a target to point and light a cyno on

"collect and analyze intel" = spamming dscan which won't help given that we have ships that can warp cloaked

in any case it won't be long before some dev, entranced by the siren song of small gang warfare, decides that nullsec should be Just Like Wormholes except with gates, stations, 100% scan signatures, asteroid belts, functioning jump drives and whatnot, only for nullsec to become a desert where the only players doing anything are supercapital pilots who fund their PvP with alts running incursions in hisec, until CCP realizes 30 months later that it was a mistake

yeah because it's not difficult to find out what timezones a given alliance is active in
it's not difficult to warp between anoms (which you don't have to probe down) while cloaked in a bomber
they have backup? oh no, a bomber loss, what will they ever do
nobody in system? go to the other system that has a ton of NPC kills or a high industry level

Quote:nobody in system? go to the other system that has a ton of NPC kills or a high industry level GǪwhich doesn't tell you who or what's in the system or whether anyone is around right now. Again, you have to actually work for the information you need rather than get it for free.
Above all, you are no longer able to GÇ£AFK cloakGÇ¥, and the uncertainty of whether or not something is around that might attack you is shared by both sides. Both have to gamble and/or learn to employ counter-tactics rather than rely on (and abuse/get their panties in a twist over) free intel.

because local tells you exactly where everyone in a given system is, and you already know where to warp
please don't pretend that a system with 10000 NPC kills in Cobalt Edge is going to be empty in deep US prime and I might just take your argument more seriously

yes.. but it isn't entirely an irrational fear
that cloakie that they're not sure if it is afk might be carry a covops cyno. normal cynos show up as a beacon in system when lit, covops don't.
so say there is a cloaky recon in your system, and you have a nice juicy mining op going on because you think they're afk.. and are safe.
they're not afk.
they light a covops cyno. black ops battleship bridges in a bunch more stealth bombers and an additional recon or two then jumps in-system.
stealth bombers warp to your mining op and bomb you.
kiss a bunch of hulks/mackinaws and possibly an orca (if one of those recons fit a point) goodbye.
when they're done they warp to safe, bridge back out of system.
so the problem isn't afk cloakers per-se but that there is no way to know if they're actually afk.
If you don't see a problem in 0.0 eroding into two big super-coalitions and a few hangers on in areas nobody cares about.. then you don't have brains. |

on the other hand, nobody will bother actually living in nullsec except to join fleets because having to spam dscan for utterly useless information is tedious and not worth the 10% extra income you'd get over simply farming l4s in hisec where all risk of nonconsensual PvP is being gradually reduced to nothing

Nonsense, There are plenty of players in Wormholes doing just that.
I am with Tippia. Remove local. Then nerf Tech so that Goons have to earn their ships just like the rest of us.
