There is no counter to cloaking. Well its a cloak, There should not be a way to decloak someone. Kinda defeats the point o f using it.
Also Cloaks have major setbacks, it is the cloaking triangle. Cloak, DPS, EHP. Now pick any 2. the only ships that can get respectable numbers are T3s and your still limited to maxing a good fit out to about 500 dps max.

If your logged in, you should be playing eve, not at work or some crap like that using up server load. Simply have a module that you can use to pulse and turn off cloaking devices throughout the system forcing said people to afk cloak.
This idea will not render the cloaking ship obsolete or useless, instead again, stop players 'afk cloaking'. Also, have restrictions on the I-Hub level, so say sov 4 is needed. Fine tuning to this idea would be needed so throw the suggestions out there.
So what about people in Wormholes who live off of staying cloaked. I have personally sat in a system watching a target for 5 hours to get a kill. The real advantage to being cloaked is being cloaked. There is not one good thing that comes from cloak besides the cloak itself. You guys say it has no counter, it dose the cloaking ship ether A cant take any DPS, B Cant deal any DPS, or C Cant do ether (E-War boat)

Did you forget about hotdrops? Why don't you try playing a game with a million afk trolls setting in your system with nothing that you can do about it but get your **** pushed in by a blob attack?
No but a hot drop is easy enough to avoid. Even if the ship grabs you. His speed drops to 0 and it takes time for the cyno up and ships to warp in. You normally have about 30 to 45 seconds before the hot dropping fleet is in system and shooting at you. If you cant get out in that time then your not doing it right.
