It's a major part of the game and not having an in-game counter measure feature is definitly an issue. You are able to counter almost everything in this game, by modules, isk, manpower or whatsoever. But there is not a thing you can do against cloaky campers, but being a jerk yourself and camping their system as well. Which is sooooo much fun, NOT!
This just isn't true. I've live din null for 5 years and there are plenty of things you can do to counter Cloacky Campers. Notice I said counter and not kill.
-You could rat/mine in strong fleets or multiboxing. Just last week on of my alliance mates was doing anomalies with 3 Domis when a Tengu appeared and cyno'd in a gang. His 3 remote rep domis survived while killing a tengu and a talos and make the rest of them run away.
-You can rat in warp core stabbed FoF missile or drone ships. I do this a lot with a raven with 2 warp core stabs, and have done so in the past with a tengu with 2 warp core stabs and the interdiction nullifier sub system. Works with Domis and Rattlesnakes and Gilas too That way if a cloaky uncloacks and tries to point you, unless he has more than 1 scram on (or is in a HIC, which can't warp cloaked), you are IMMUNE from being tackled (the tengu is immune from being bubbled lol).
-You could rat with a Carrier at the edge of a pos shield assigning fighters + a tanked transport like an Impel. The Impel gets +2 warp strength like a Venture so add 1 warp stab and the other 6 lows are armor tank, Target painter in the mid, remote rep of some kind in the high if you can fit to emergency repair the fighters, or a tractor beam for loot since you got a lot of cargo hold lol.
-you could leave system and rat somewhere else (even works for renters going to totally unclaimed null space, the landlords tend to not mind).
-You can even bait the cloaky and kill it if/when it uncloaks (and if it never uncloaks, you know the guy was bluffing.
You don't NEED to be able to hunt down and kill a cloaky, you just need to make cloaky camping not work and people will stop doing it (or keep doing it and waste their own game time). |
