Hello all,
i'm playing EvE-Online now since 2004. I think this game is very amazing but there is one thing that upsets me a little bit. An enemy pilot come into a system and turn on his cloaking device. Now he warps to a safe spot and go afk for the next 24h or more. Some people are using login scripts to bridge the downtime. It is impossible to find this player. You can have all scanning skill at V. From the game view,it is impossible. That can't be in my opinion.
Maybe a solution is that the longer he is afk the faster you can find him. An other solution can be that if you are afk your cloaking device will turn off after x hours.
What is your opinion?
regards SouthsideDevil

I believe to fully utilize the effectiveness of a cloaking device you should have to be at the computer. I believe that if you are not at the computer that its fair for the cloak to fail, randomly.
As a miner I have to sacrifice basically all forms of ship defense to even be inspace. What do cloakers who can go watch OWN for 12 hours give up? -------------------------------------------

having some, and let's call a spade a spade here, GAME MECHANIC to perform to keep you cloaked. be it hitting it with a wrench or scrubbing radiation emissions, would be something they would just make a macro for. or whatever other superstition you think of to keep people watching OWN. it's not a fix.
just ignore the ****ing afk cloaker! no really. stay aligned, stay vigilant, stay awake.
mayb it is YOU who wants to watch OWN in 0.0 and not the cloaker?
one other final point: go to a WH. aroo |

Already the case. The task of the cloak is to scout people out and/or ambush them, you have to be at the computer to do either.
(The irony of the _miners_ of all people getting ****y about stuff you can do AFK is not lost on me.) ---

Most of it was probably AFK mining.

No guys seriously there could be a bug with the local window where people are showing up who are not actually there. So are you sure he is there?

It appears that your 100%, risk free intel tool called local, can be somewhat subverted against you.
Whether that subversion actually works, is still down to you of course.

Nerf all AFK cloakers that are not truly AFK.
CCP should insist on proof via some 'butt on seat' USB device that detects when you are not present and logs you out.

AFK Cloaking an alt in a system has been shown to be an effective means of disrupting A large variety of Mining and Ratting bots; since they usually warp to a safe and cloak the instant anyone shows up in local. So if your not a bot stuck at your safespot cloaked then either leave the system or ignore the AFK cloaker and be vigilant against attack. often times the AFK cloaker is in a T1 frigate not a super carrier.

Then they'd be afraid of this.

I usually charge for people to feel my butt so if CCP's paying i'm down for getting butt checked. Signature image is too big. Spitfire
