I would like to thank CCP for screwing up covert ops cloaking devices. I have made many, many millions today off sales of looted covert ops cloaked devices.

Uhm. CCP didnt screw them up? 
Theres currently a cloaking device cartel, which has pushed the price of covert cloaking devices up 3-fold in the past few months.

he's not talking about the price, he is talking about the cloaking bug in the recent patch which allows you to retain a lock on a cloaked ship. Thus he has made a lot of money in looted cloaking devices.

There is a bug, which means that if a ship with a covops cloak fitted jumps into a gate and I am nearby, they die. Before Dragon, they used to get away.
Listed on known issues.

erm i have that bpo and im not part of that cartel. who do i contact to join?
seriously though do you have evidence or is this a semi-paranoid post due to increases you see you fail to understand any logical way.
theres less profit to be made on covert ops cloaks than a lot of other t2 items and the price rises are due to economic factors nothing else. do you realise what the component parts are of a covert ops cloak?
oh and they havent gone up 3 fold to my knowledge.

Mate you might wanna have a look at the market in empire.
The prices on Cov ops cloaks are atleast 10 times the productions cost there.

I always put down the price increase on covert ops cloaks to the increasing player base (which is driving everything useful up slowly) and the introduction of recon ships. People wouldn't have paid 60mil generally to fit a cloak to a 10mil ship, but they will do it happily with an 80mil ship.

Considering the improved cloak II is a component of the covert ops cloak and they sell on the market for 40 mill
(or 18 mill if you know a producer well) I call bulll**** on your "10 times the production cost"
You are just another in a long line of uninformed nubs sputing rubbish

So, basically, the OP is admitting to exploiting a known bug for profit. Hmm. How smart of you to say so on a public forum.
Secondly, cloak prices are ridiculous right now. The fact that the Prototype Cloaking Device I BPO isn't available on market is stupid to begin with. It's a Tech 1 device. Second, the fact that the Covert Ops Cloaking Device II requires an Improved Cloaking Device II (which subsequently requires a Prototype Cloaking Device I) is absolutely absurd.
3 publically unavailable BPOs to build 1 item. Kinda messed up.
And to the OP, I'd warn you against making such statements here. You might find yourself in a bit of trouble.

If I am fighting, I shoot everything that comes my way. As soon as it pops up on overview, it gets locked up and dies. I'm not going to stop and check ths ship type, and then go "oh, that's a covops ship... maybe he is bugged, better let him cloak so we have a spy sitting and watching us". I am flying an insta-lock tackle ceptor, so there is a reasonable chance that I might have caught a lazy covops pilot anyway. If the GMs determine that what I have done is wrong, they can do whatever they choose.
I don't think they will.

Yeah but if you watch the covert ops ship cloak, then decloak right after you lock, it might be an indicator that something is wrong.
Don't play innocent.
Regardless, its obvious you knew about the problem, and you posted about it here. Since you made a statement to the effect that you have gotten multiple cloak devices to this effect, it would seem that you're taking advantage of this bug.
I'm just saying, be careful making statements that indicate you're making a profit from a known bug.

In general we have a shortage on T2 BPO's.
More needs to be seeded in

They never appear to cloak. They just get locked (in about a second) then I kill them.

I guess my usual habit of floating around cloaked by gate camps and heckling them will have to wait till the bug is fixed.
