not when they sit at an SS cloaked ^_^
Cov ops pilots should be non-found, but ppl using BS's and whatnot and using prototype cloaks should be found by some type of scanner! =)
to be quite honest, i think people safed and cloaked should be totally safe.

Why? they are cloaked. For a normal ship using a cloak you lose a high slot, you overall gimp your targetting time and you have a targetting delay once you decloak. You can only move slowly under cloak and you have to decloak to jump / warp / activate a module.
On a normal ship you sacrifice all that to fit a cloak so you can hide, which is about all you can do so whats the point of a cloak if they don't hide you? Nothing to discus unless there is some reasoning behind it. It just sounds like another "I can't find the cloaked ship so we can gank it" whine.
But ofcourse the fact that you can kill someone easily kill someone and then warp to wherever and be totaly safe is not a problem to you? 
Given it hurts your setup, i don't think it is a problem, no. Also, currently, cloaks on non-cloaking specialised ships have ONE purpose: keeping you safe while you eat your dinner. They have no tactical application: this is what they exist for.

What's to counter? all they can do while cloaked (non-CovOps) is sit and maybe crawl slowly somewhere. There is your counter. Lock down the system and wait them out if it bothers you that much but a cloak is exactly for hiding and it is well balanced with all the penalties that go with using it.
wondering how you want to lock a system ....instas always gives them the ability to run if they want to and taking down a bs usualy takes longer than the short moment they apear at a gate. of course you can follow them, but when they manage to escape to a high security system you still can shoot them them, but concorde ...
If they were safed and wanted to run, a cloak makes no difference.

Originally by: Rina Shanu normal radar ----------------> -----------------------------> ---------------_____---_____--> cloacked thing disperses the waves so it's untouchable
new radar --------------------> thingy----_____-----______-----> ____----____----------_____----> -------------------------------> could get the discrepancy there somehow and calculate a disturbance "spot"
The catch is : if the waves do not return as if they hit an object of some sort... how do I know I have a disturbance ?

Nope there should always be some kind of counter device in eve, as there always is. (almost :p)
There is....its called getting within 2000m of the cloaked ship.
I mentioned this with the tactical overlay and light drones, but what Buraken seems to want is the ability to find those cloaked at safes.
