I'm only talking about 0.0 space, so...
1. Logoff in hostile space
Hostiles (negative standings, for example) should stay on scanner even after they logoff, in *alliance controlled* 0.0 space. Right now, you get some alt to fly into your space, they safespot and logoff. So, you have a hostile in a system, and he might be coming back online in 2 minutes or in 2 days. People say it would screw up gamers, but 99.9% of logoff cases I've seen in my (0.0) space were hostiles trying to get through, by using this logon/jump/logoff tactics, sometimes even during 2-3 day period. Silly.
Or CCP should, at least, make them visible on scanner for 15 minutes, no matter if they've (been) aggressed or not.
Logoffs in empire should probably remain as they are.
2. NPC stations in 0.0
They (pirates/etc who live in NPC stations in 0.0) come and bug you every day, yet you can not take the fight to them, since they simply dock in NPC stations, and that's it. You can not bring the fight into their area, since they don't own any area, and there is nothing to destroy. Yeah, you could camp the system for days, but then you could watch paint dry as well.
3. WCS
Vagabond/Stabber in 0.0. They are fit to hit AND they are fit to run. WCS should be made in such a way to configure ship EITHER to fight or escape fights. Not both.
4. Cloak
Cloaking in hostile space is valid tactics, I guess, but we should be able to detect cloaked ships. Again, like with logon/logoff, you have no idea when he'll uncloak or make a move, so you can only sit whole day and wait. Useless.
There should be a way to detect cloaked ships.
One way would be to detect 'cloaking signature', which could drop you anywhere in range of 150-300km from cloaked ship. Then, you do your best to uncloak/find him if you can, but at least you will be close to him, and he won't be able to stay afk for hours, as it is the case now.
Another way would be to have probes which can detect cloaked ships, but scanning/analysis could take 10 minutes and drop you 1,000m from the cloaked ship. This way, they won't be able to afk for hours anymore, and will need to actually do something in order to survive.
