Ok, I am missing something here.
Are you operating under the belief that cloaking is not balanced, and this is how you correct it?
OR
Am I missing where this balancing aspect pays for the ability to hunt cloaked vessels?
Neither, really. It is me looking at cloaking and wondering why the heck they can't be hunted and proposing a way to do it. The idea evolved throughout the thread to figure out a balance to it. The thread died before it got there.
The reason is because hunting cloaks while doing nothing about local would be unbalanced. It would buff local as a way to avoid fights and make PvE in null even safer.
That is the current consensus....well unless you ask somebody who just PvEs in null, he'll tell you that cloaks are wildly unbalanced and he should be able to "brawl" with them...then go back to ratting in near perfect safety.

Keep the probes close in on your fleet, keep them cycling, and you're literally immune to stealth bombers. Why do you want to buff blobs? Having someone in a probe ship keeping gaurd is akin to having a pvp escort. It is a fairy tale that never really happens
Or a person with an alt, which happens all the freaking time.
Or a booster ship with a probe launcher...that never ever happens...oh wait... |

You have a point with the booster alt. however I still fail to see how this makes you immune to bombers. Just because I know there's a murder in my house doesn't mean he's all of the sudden unable to kill me.
No, but if you know he is upstairs and you are downstairs you have a distinct advantage if you don't know where he is. It may not make you immune, but if the probing allows people to be more judicious in deploying say, defensive bubbles.... |

So basically you let enemy fleet movements dictate your own fleet movements. Someone has not been reading his Art of War book. Ah yes, I skipped the chapter on prioritizing threats during interstellar warfare in virtual environments. Please forgive my ignorance on this matter.
Interstellar...terrestrial...doesn't really matter. The points are roughly the same.
