Gizznitt Malikite Agony Unleashed Agony Empire 1784	Posted - 2013.02.08 16:44:00 - [1] - Quote 1.) We don't need your depth charges when we have smart bombs with bigger explosion radius's,and even stealth bomber boms with a 15 km explosion radius... 2.) While I agree that a specialty set of probes with long scan cycles (60s) and would probably be optimal for scanning down a cloaked vessel in a manner that doesn't disrupt their primary role, you completely missed the point of Gunslinger42's post... A.) If you can scan down cloaked ships, you can basically purge a WH of hostiles.... or at least purge the system of online and active hostiles, which breaks one of the fundamental principles of a WH.... In a WH you NEVER KNOW you are alone... so there is an ever-present danger. With your suggestion, a pilot can always just scan a WH and determine if any "unknown players" are in system... You might as well add a local count to the delayed chat window if your going to implement this!!! B.) Local Chat is an infallible, omniscient intel tool that instantly provides you with information on everyone in system... This near perfect intel allows you to determine how safe a nullsec system is by identifying potentially hostile pilots in system.... With the ability to purge those pilots (even if they are cloaked) from a system, we end up with 100% safe nullsec systems... This might sound like a wet-dream to the average nullbear, but it is NOT how nullsec should function... Living in nullsec is not about removing all dangers from your system, it's about adapting to the dangers and living with them... People wouldn't use AFK cloaky alts parked in your system all day if the intel system was nerfed enough to allow a roaming gang to actually catch more than afk pilots... AFK cloakers are the ONLY means by which to undermine "local as an intel tool", yet you currently have many options to deal with afk cloakers, if: -- You didn't tempt them with blingy targets... -- You adapted to them, and became difficult targets for the afk cloaker to attack... -- You adapted to them, and operated in a system without an afk cloaker...

We think there is a problem with local... and the workaround is to park an afk cloaker in a system so they are always present, thereby diminishing the value of the local intel and allowing for "sneak attacks" (of a form)... Your idea is a tool to eliminate the work around without addressing the fundamental reason people are employing it...
Gizznitt Malikite agony unleashed Agony Empire 1797	Posted - 2013.02.13 15:39:00 - [3] - Quote Any discussion of "finding cloaked vessels" must also include changes to our instant omniscient local chat being used as an intel source.... This thread does not..... /thread already...
