That would mean a cloaker would have to briefly decloak to locate targets off his grid. That would give you your opportunity to know whether he was active or not.
As it is still unclear to me whether or not the voting method will change in such a way that I have to choose multiple candidates, I'd like some clarification on this matter:
Is this something you would actively push for, or is it something you would only bring out if CCP said "we're hitting cloaking with a nerfbat, we are open to suggestions as to how we do this"? |

Fair. Being a w-space resident, I'm afraid I can't agree with the proposal of cloaking nerfs in any form, but it does seem likely that there are a million other issues to be dealt with this year instead, which would render this point of disagreement moot. |

Overpowered passive cloaking. It is now to the point where people are now beyond AFK cloaking but running Twitch.tv streams of enemy stations and systems! Would you support balancing cloaking to punish those who go AFK (Eventually able to be scanned down for decloak) while maintaining the benefits to people actively cloaking (Remaining at their keyboard)
Cloaking is discussed at some length earlier in this thread. The tl;dr is that I'd support removing the ability to scan or probe whilst cloaked, and I don't think that ships using non-covops cloaks should recharge shield or cap, but I don't see any need for further nerfs after that.
You've heard my opinion on cloaking nerfs, but cloaking nerfs + automatic d-scan updating would be beyond obnoxious. We're not frantically mashing dscan blindly in an attempt to mimic local. Sometimes you don't want it to update so you can get a good long look at that one guy whom you caught uncloaked for a second. You're proposing breaking our cloaks and our ways of hunting cloakies. Unless you want a dscan history to go with the automatic updating, you're needlessly making life difficult in w-space so people in k-space can feel safer.
I'd rather see k-space given more tools for group play or incentives to defend their PvE grounds to counter the scary cloakers. Right now it isn't cost-effective to defend yourself the way w-space does in k-space, and that's just ridiculous. Putting in the effort to make your system(s) inhospitable to any intruders in ways that aren't "not blue pos up" should be rewarded. |

Interesting. It is pretty, though I could probably parse the results in the time it would take me to use the tool. I'll give it a whirl sometime. |
