As cloaking devices are a specialist item, they should require a specific fuel to run.
The main aim of this proposal is to move the use of the device to a more tactical basis, rather than "just another module". Fitting the device would this provide a benefit (hiding), at a small expense (re-fueling periodically).
This proposal does not prevent the tactic of shadowing systems as a cloaked AFk'er per se, but would require the cloaker to refuel periodically as a tradeoff for the cloaked interdiction of a system.
Fuel usage can be scaled to the ship that the device is used on, with advantage in fuel usage resting with specialist craft such as covops, then scaling through recon type vessels all the way to capital ships. Covops could run cloaks in the hours, whilst capitals could only run it in the minutes. |

This is a terrible idea. It's already hard enough to evade well manned and well organised gate camps even with a covert ops cloak. It's only because camping a gate is so boring and people getting lax as a result, that cloakies can slip by now.
Not to mention how this would hurt scouts and spies, as well as blockade runners ferrying good long distance out of dangerous space, etc. |

This has already been proposed and discussed. I don't think we need to hash it out again.

Another Cloak thread? Must be the season for them.
Not supported even though I do prefer this to the standard "AFK Cloaker" rant thread.
Personally I much prefer this suggestion [Proposal] -100% to Capacitor recharge time while cloaked which only effects non covert ops cloaks.

As long as I can also have a fuel that keeps me off local chat.
