If a system is max 15 AU in size and everything is on the same plane then he's somewhere in an area of 1.6 * 10^19 square kilometers. Have fun getting to within 2 km of him. If the system is larger or stuff isn't all on the same plane then you have even less chance of finding him if he's safed up and cloaked.

Load up your favorite pirate/faction battleship with the most expensive modules you'll find. Then start bouncing around the asteroid belts. The modules in your ship combined actually create a force wave through space that will decloak whoever is cloaking in your system if given enough time. Of course this depends on your skills.
Good luck. |

That's not really balanced because it provides immunity for one party as well as intel gathering ability, where as for the non cloaked party it only provides limited intel through local yet no counter or immunity.
Though it does provide some amusement, I won't deny that.
E: Now if cloaking messed up the ships sensors, to where D-scan doesn't work and neither does local while cloak is active, then yes it would be balanced. Don't Vote for Malcanis

I'd rather have balance across the board, so players then could fly ships and use weapons of their choice. Not FoTM fits because a patch made XYZ more powerful. Folks would enjoy a game better if that ship they really like to fly in isn't worthless for 2 years; or it's weapons system wasn't nerfed to the ground.
Came back to EvE and was eager to level up into a Drake (one of the better looking Caldari ships -- and yes looks are a factor in choice). Now look at it. Wonder if it's a flying coffin now.  "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

When I was in Delve with my main as a part of BoB, we were able to flush out a cloak ship because we knew what direction he warped to. We formed a line with drones out and slowly swept the area the warp would have ended at a planet, 30 minutes later we de-cloaked him and popped his ship. We had a good laugh over how unlucky he was, EVE may seem 3D, but it is really a 2D table top.  |

Local grants the cloaked party the exact same information set that the other party gets. As does D-Scan. And being cloaked renders you unable to hurt anyone, so the uncloaked party is equally immune to the depredations of the cloaked party. Now, before you say "then they uncloak," Local allows the uncloaked party to prepare for that eventuality. Either by setting a trap or something else.
Also, there's only one class of ships that isn't prevented from locking a target for several seconds after decloaking. And it's a super-squishy class. Every other cloaked ship gives you a good amount of notice to GTFO.
Local is the counter to cloaking. It's not a hard counter, and it's not a free counter, but it is a counter (just like Cloaking is not a hard counter to local's use as an intel tool. It just slightly degrades local's usefulness). This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Cloaking is fine as is. No need to screw around with it as the bottom line is :
You can't do anything in-game while cloaked other than provide intel
The rest of the moans are mainly down to cyno mechanics and jump ranges. Fix those if there's a problem.

If you don't want to mine, or run anomalies with him in the system there is a simple solution.
Move to another system to do those things. If he follows you, then you know he's not afk. In which case catch him with an interdictor and an interceptor when he moves back through the gate, and then kill him. If simple instructions such as these are difficult for your alliance, then your alliance probably shouldn't be out in nullsec. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

OP could have just asked it in alliance chat and gotten the same answer as in here... 
No, it is nearly impossible to uncloak a cloaky ship once it has warped to a safespot. You can potentially catch it when it enters the system, bubble + interceptors are really good for this.
And jesus zombie christ, we already got that "remove local from null to solve this problem" reply here! Was just about to post it, think it is an unwritten rule in GD that you got to reply that at least once in threads like this? |

Pipedream, if you didnt see where the ship warped, and he was too stupid to change direction after cloaking. Eve is most certainly very 3d, if you have the sense to fly in abnormal directions. |

Travel in EvE though is linear. Movement is scripted (if there isn't a bookmark/celestial/object to point to he's not going there). Any cat and mouse games is limited to where he can travel too. So if you deduce where he can travel too, finding him is easier. It's even easier if people live in a region and know the area well.

What the game needs is a destroyer class ship, with the ability to track or even try and pin down a signature of a cloaked ship. Like the old destroyer class ships going on a anti-sub patrol.
Apart from that, good luck trying to find one, unless you bump into it of course. |

this is something that defenetly needs balance. Almost everythings has been touche latelly including Black Ops and i do seriosuly believe it needs some minour adjustment.
But there are someways that I have learned over my time in eve. The problem is that they can only be done under a specific circubstances and these methods abuse of game mechanics, therefore ilegal |

Yeah, I remember laughing my ass off in disbelief. I was running Stront to top off a tower and I had to go through a system that had a whole bunch of reds in it with bubbles on the gates. I warped to a gate observation bookmark and saw that it was bubbled and camped but figured I would still give it a go since I could manually pilot around the uncloaked manticore that was in the bubble. While I was clicking to avoid them, I realized that I was decloaked with a Rapier decloaked not even a couple dozen meters away from me. Either he serendipitously decloaked at just the right time or we bumped each other while cloaked. Either way, as soon as I noticed, I started going for the gate. I lived long enough to be just outside of jump activation range before I popped.
I still chuckle when I think about this. C'mon CCP, let us suicide gank the high-sec pub matches in Dust..... |

Think of it as a blessing. It is a sign that you might get some PvP action which is why you are down in nullsec in the first place isn't it?
Two of the defining characteristics of a carebear are wanting other players to play the way the carebear wants and whining on the forums for the game to change when they don't. Yet I see more threads on these forums from gankers than I do miners whining about wanting the game changed to suit them. |

I have observed that the only way to find a cloaked ship is to go into the forums and pressure CCP to nerf cloaking or devise some say to find a ship that is cloaked.
So far it hasn't worked but there's always a new attempt in progress.

He said the guy was there for 12 hours so its not like he needs to hurry in this search. He'll find the cloaker eventually. Out of Pod is getting In the Pod - Join in game channel IG OOPE |

Well to day we have had a cloaked ship in are system for about 12 hours now is there anyway i can find were he is or uncloak him.
Any help is awesome
The most effective way is to submit a petition in game about your problem with the local channel. Explain to them how unfair it is for someone to use the local channel in such a way that your paranoia is too high for you to undock and enjoy the game
AFK has got to stop. It cant go on forever. How dare they cloak up and go afk for days on end and prevent you from feeling safe?
Dont worry, ccp will one day remove local channel like it is in wormhole space, and you wont have to be afraid anymore. ;-) |

Still more likely to get a job as a pilot than someone from WeMadeIt. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Even in WoW you can break the stealth of Rogues. One AoE DoT will do it.
So we need a ship with an AoE weapon that can do something similar.
A HIC can place a bubble on a target that can't be removed, but he's exposed to concentrated fire. A cloaked ship can spy and call in a whole fleet without a counter (as they can cloak in as well). Then sneak away and still be cloaked.

EVE is not WOW. They do not need the same mechanics.
A cloaked ship cannot silently call in a fleet in the way you imply. It either has to decloak to light a [cover] cyno, or the fleet has to come in through a gate. Also, you know that they are there. Local is the k-space counter to cloaking.
If you want to catch a cloaky camper, arrange a trap for them. They represent a trap for you, so it's Trap vs Trap. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Right, which means they can have more than one cloaky in their fleet to escort their friends down/up.

Once they arrive. Not before. And with the intel already, they wouldn't care, it's smash face time.

I'll just play defenseless female and bait them out.

And you can either warp away when the fleet enters local, or the cloaky has to decloak to make you stick around.

And that's another hostile in Local telling you "hey, something's going on" leaving you plenty of time to not be there anymore.

No, you know that the cloaky is there. Learning to follow pronoun antecedents is an important life skill.
