How do you possibly fit a cloak on a freighter?

It gives the same benefits to a player who has walked away from their computer as it does to a player who is actively playing. Yes

Originally by: t'raq mardon I love how you no longer even try to make a point, you just try to attack me personally. glad that i'm bothering you so much
I love how botters like you have such an issue with afk cloakers, when the rest of us have no issue with them. --------------------------------------------- I am a big fan of knowing what you are talking about prior to making asinine suggestions or comments. |

utter bull****. My skills are running while i'm afk. My market orders are running while i'm afk. My contracts are running while i'm afk. So is my psy warfare running while i'm afk! (but requires me even being online in contrast to the others!)
-> Eve is full of afk activities, get used to it.

OMG, they can play and be afk at the same time!!!!
Now to be nice and constructive.
No. My carebear self likes the fear of not being sure if the person I can't detect with a probe out when in a stationless system is at the computer or not. It's just about the only excitement I get these days (since I fail at PvP, I already know that outcome).

An AFK cloaker is completely harmless.

except for the 30 min a day when hes not afk. having the ability to walk away form your computer while in a ship n 0.0 space with no chance of losing said ship is a broken mechanic.

Then stop relying upon local, as an instant intel tool.

The whole "an afk person is harmless" is an entirely flawed argument. It would be true if you knew the person was afk... but you can't know that. Anyone who says otherwise is just trolling, basically.

Edited by: Robert Caldera on 23/05/2011 14:27:21 the afk cloaker is harmless as long as he is really afk, doh...
This is exactly how it works, because noone knows if he is really afk, you can block the entire system of activity. But its fine as it is, if you fear 1 person and think its broken, you should not be in 0.0. Renters are mostly affected by this since they only rented 1 or 2 systems, which are easily camped by afk cloakers. However being a renter is actually the real problem and not the cloak. If you are in a real alliance, you see an afk cloaker sitting somewhere, you just move 1 system for ratting or whatever you feel disturbed at by those cloakers. Stop being a renter or accept the risks.
I personally trained up 2 covert cyno recons, just to **** up some renter tards, this should be possible. They still have the choice to move back to empire or join another alliance. Nobody forces you to be in the system together with the afk cloaker. If you choose to, accept the risks.

Originally by: t'raq mardon How about a long cycle time for cloaking devices but have it shut off after every cycle. That would let anyone at the computer to stay cloaked almost constantly but stop AFK cloakers
It would completely break wormhole space. No.

the hundreds of millions if not billions of isk i have poured into it. why should someone who is afk 90% of the time using a 1M isk mod have the power to uplift dozens of players with billions of isk invested?
Actually a covert cloak is around 7 mil. For one, a normal silly cloaky(prototype or improved) ship is massively nerfed usually in fit and scan resolution, not to mention targeting delay. They would have to decloak elsewhere in system before looking for you. So it's called dscan mofos. Everybody in wormhole space knows how to dscan, you lazy nubs in null dont. Covert cloaky things on the other hands also have their own weaknesses. Bombers for instance will melt to drones if you aren't too dumb to abandon heavies and launch lights immediately. The only recon capable of true soloing is the pilgrim, which has to get point blank and has not that much of a tank. T3s with covert cloaks get a massive DPS nerf because the covert subsystem replaces any offensive bonus subsystem.

Originally by: t'raq mardon AFK cloakers ARE the problem. non afk cloakers do cause me a problem but at least they are also having to sit around doing nothing, AFK cloakers get all the benefit of being cloaked in the system without having to do any work for it.
"all the benefit of being cloaked", come on that does not even make any sense. What you truly mean is that he/she is like an itch that you cannot scratch? This is what cloak and dagger stuff is all about.
You obviously do not understand. The fact that YOU can see the cloakee in the local character listing is the problem. The point of a cloak is to be, not there, which is clearly ruined by local. If you remove the character listing from local, voila. Problem solved.

One major part of hunting in wormhole space is being cloaked for long periods of time waiting for people to make their moves. Dscan is watched by everyone, and having to decloak to cycle cloak would instantly make wormhole space into highsec.

If this is true, the active player is doing everything wrong.
