A high slot module that sends an burst of energy out in a 10 click radius.
The burst distrup the cloaking device, and the cloak device will fail to operate, forcing it to decloak.
The downside of using the device is that it drains your shields by 45% since it use your shield energy to send out energy burst.
no shield, no burst. |

10 click? is that 10km? because if so, maybe you should get a smartbomb |

no, i'm saying that if you want something that decloaks targets in such a small radius, you should take a look at smartbombs, which go as far as 10km |

not on small smart-b if i am not mistaken.
The idea here was for ceptors even to have a better chance to decloak ships.
and i dont know if the pulse should have the same effect as smart-b has in high sec if it hits anything else than wt. |

Smartbombs don't decloak things.
Any module that could decloak ships at range would have to have some serious penalties to balance it. Something in the order of magnitude of being restricted to Heavy Interdictors, having a 5 minute cycle time and disabling all propulsion until the cycle ends, like a cyno. |

thats a good idea, thats why i made it a suggestion the device would drain 45% of the shield.
This is very bad for a shieldtanker, having to deal with less shields when the t3 cruiser decloaks. 
but ofcoz, lucky for him, he has backup at the gate  |

you can already do this. a decently skilled ceptor pilot will decloak almost everything what jumps through a gate.
no easy button for you. |

There's nothing wrong with cloaks. They're already countered... by themselves. Ever get shot at or even targeted by a cloaked ship? No? There's a reason for that... they can't do a damned thing while cloaked.
Look, we know you'd love to make it easier for the cheap ganks at the gate camps. We understand that. But you're not going to get an "I Win Every Camp" button, so stop asking. If vessels are using cloaks to bust your camps then either their smarter than you or you're doing something wrong, or both. The penalties you list don't mean a damned thing against an unarmed hauler, so don't pretend losing shield is some great sacrifice.
Incredibly bad and poorly thought out idea. You should be embarassed for even typing it.

So you bring a devoter or a phobos or two, have no penalty and have a gatecamp no-one can break? |

OP's proposal is utterly stupid.
However, making your 200m isk ship immobile on a gate for 5-10 minutes so you can disable cloaks in a 10km radius wouldn't make gatecamps unbeatable. Jump-in range on a gate is 12km. |

why is it every time i make an suggestion, people tend to think i am doing something wrong? that I dont know how to play, that i am a noob?
I just had an idea, and wanted to see if it could be brought to light.
Its a damn shame evertime some1 makes an suggestion from an idea they had, only to be flamed.
at this rate, the forum of ideas would only be made by flamers, or those who type bad things.
Have a decently way to write to ppl, dont think u talk like that to people in real life ? |

Simply because suggestions like this are inherently bad. You're breaking a lot of areas of the game and giving little to no thought of the ripple effects this would have across the game as a whole. You've noticed that cloaks are a problem with one particular thing you're trying to do and choosing to simplify the game to make it easier for you and you alone. However, with a brief moment to think, I can come up with a few ways this abomination of a thought process damages the game overall...
First, the aforementioned gate camps, and the cloaky haulers that, by design, run them. You break their cloak, you break the entire line of ships. Cloaky haulers have become worthless vessels for a vast majority of people.
Secondly, you're having a detrimental effect on wormholes and wormhole life, where being undetectable while cloaked is a vital part of the game. Giving someone an instant >I see you< button is giving them something they dont deserve and haven't earned, the knowledge that you even exist in their system.
Cloaks are fine. They're working as intended. They already have enough drawbacks in requirements and the inability to do anything while cloaked. If you're afraid of the cloaked person you can't see but know is there, it's not the cloak that's the issue... it's the fact that the person is cloaked and you know he's there.

And it would mean **** all to an armortanker, which is what everyone would mount these modules on.
Triple plated battleships with uncloak pulse would become standard at every gate camp.
This is one of the ideas that you should just back away from, say you were drunk when you posted it, and hope everyone believes you.
