For a short while now. Myself and some mates have spent a few days deep in claimed null sneeking around hitting a few exploration sites (we're there for the sites, then we'll leave) We're not there as invaders or spys.
The only way for us to do this is by being able to move around cloaked. The locals own a POS on almost every moon AND an outpost in almost every system for 20 jumps in every direction.
While neutral, and they do occasionally try and hunt us we have an uneasy understanding at the very least now they dont see us as a threat. But i do occasionally get guys saying "dont bother scanning us, we have a pos in every system" while they're our doing PVE sites.
Im a 3 month account (and new player) in a half fit covops ship from a tiny unaffiliated corp. Yet I'm still viewed with more fear than anything in the game >.< its ridiculous. And this is from some of the biggest alliances!
Without the current cloak system, there is no way for anyone to even get into large alliance space and ninja those rewards. Thus far all the "Cloak" fixes only benefit the large sov holding alliance, and remove any ability for anyone else to play in that space.
Not every corp in the game can field 1000 titans to blob an enemy.
These alliances already know when we come into their territory. They know if we set a tower or hang around, they have sophisticated intel channels always watching and reporting movements. Who where, when, who are their friends, where are they going, where from etc etc AND they can deploy accross the entirety of null though highly developed bridge networks. Use stations and such.
What more do you need?
If you want to PvE but dont want to lose your super carrier. Dont use a super cap to PvE.
If you remove all chance for the small guy to impact on the big guy, you relegate null to the realm of a small handful of mega coalitions. And then it gets even more stale and why even bother logging in? You want more people playing the game and more fun fights and more things to do. But only so long as you can have a huge advantage and not be at risk? hmmm
By "you" I dont mean necessarily the OP. Just most guys complaining about cloaks seem to be parts of huge coalitions who already have everything they could want.
