One an hour, every hour, every day, until CCP fixes the lamest game mechanic in the history of MMOs.

It is rock, paper, scissors, NUKE BOMB.

100 people sit in station or safed up at a POS, all lamenting that there is not a SINGLE F'N thing that can be done about ONE freakin' cloaky camper with a cyno, able to drop an infinite number of ships, with no warning....

A good game should provide a defense for every offense and an offense to every defense. There is no defense to the cloaky camper.

LOL What part of "upgraded system" did you not udnerstand.
and when the cloaky comes, in move again. They will tire before you do.

for your ore, thats why there are ships with things called JUMP DRIVES. etc etc

This prove my point, you simply don't want to use the tools the game gives you, you want a short cut (ie a way to go after the cloaky). You don't deserve and the game doesn't need a short cut, it' needs creative players who figure stuff out.

Thats what i do. i fit MWD+ cloak and stuff some projective ammo in my Dominix (i call the "moving Van") and just go live in a backwater system till the cloaky gets tired. If he follows, i keep moving. Never have i lost a ship this way, i've gotten a few kills when i've taken a sabre alt and bubbled the gate and decloked the cloaky.

As is usualyl the case, the problem isn't the game mechanic, it's EVe player laziness.

No.

Your problem is your reliance upon local intel and not reading the information it's giving you correctly.

And this is what the anti-afk cloky people will see

This topic is why we need a DISLIKE button.

I will start to think about considering to support this "idea" when you can answer me these two questions:

1) How you know someone is AFK as opposed to really really patient?
2) How is a cloaked ship with no pilot a real unfair threat as opposed to something that just makes you feel insecure?

...GO

OK, wait, there is a possibility here.

I like the idea of space depth charges. Wide, low damage explosions meant to de-cloak ships. They could also create a mechanic where cloaked ships need to be scanned down, then the "depth charge" is fired in the area, ship is de-cloaked and can be attacked.

Probably not what the AFK club is looking for as it requires active play, but a fun thought nonetheless.

Oh yeah - Nerf NullSec!

It would be AWESOME. Something, anything that could be done.

And heck, all he'd have to do is bounce safes. But at least it would be work to stay safe.

I thought out in nullsec if you have sov, can't you build that thing that prevents cynos from being dropped?

You really don't even have to cloak to interrupt them. Just enter system, and the moment you're in local they go scurrying like roaches when the lights come on.
