Are you seriously asking us to consider taking out a legitimate part of the game mechanic just because it makes you psychologically unable to play? Afk cloaking sounds like a perfectly sound tactic to me. One that you should counter by ignoring them ( take risk ) or hunting them down ( deal with the risk ). I'm sorry it just sounds like you are complaining that German u-boats are making your merchant shipping business difficult, and that god should make it illegal for Germans to use u-boats.

I would love to be able to hunt them down. That is exactly what i am suggesting, having the ability to hunt them down. Even if it is an excruciatingly long and hard job that is easily countered by the player that is cloaked making it all but impossible to catch a cloaked ship if the player is active, all i want is the ability to hunt them down.
Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but then why did you not write that as your proposal, instead of the "AFK Cloaking shouldn't be allowed as it violates the Terms of Service of the game" sentiment that everyone else is reading.

Hold on a minute....Let me get this straight.
You have a problem with AFK cloakers, but you are now saying that it's all but impossible to catch them if they are *NOT* AFK? (IE not in the scope of this discussion)??

So I'm confused.
The meaning of AFK is "Away From Keyboard".
If another player is away from his keyboard how is he bothering you?
He's arguing that the psychological stress caused by a afk cloaker is enough to keep him from mining or ratting or going about his business. The argument goes that an afk cloaker doesn't have to do anything active (and be away from the keyboard) in order to achieve this effect. The statement was then made that he should just hunt down the afk cloaker and kill it. Then the reponse is that they are actually hard to kill, IF the person is at the keyboard and evading probing/detection. QED.

Hey I'm going to petition you also. Your actions don't allow me to play the game the way I want it to.
What I want to do: I want to shoot you till you blow up
Your action: You won't undock AND you're afk. You're totally safe. How unfair is that.
Result: I can't do what I want. whaa whaa.
Same logic, isn't it?
Actually no, in stations you can camp the station and wait for them to come out. Cloakers cannot be camped, so they can drop their cynos with more surprise than a station camper.
Anyway that's not your point though, which was that the OP has poor justification for his proposal.
