I do a lot of exploration. If there is a cloaked camper in my system, it's his bussiness to be there, while not afk. If he keeps me stressed because he left his char there while he sleeps - that is not ok. |

And spending 15-20 minutes on the killboards will tell you when the cloaker has been active in the past, giving you a reasonable safety from getting dropped on. |

All these anti 'afk' cloaking guys need to get a grip, all of those 'afk' cloakies are almost certainly actively providing intel. You want somewhere safe to pve? go to highsec. I've never heard a wormholer ever complain about 'afk' cloakies, remove local as an intel tool and I'd go with an idea of specialized device and charges that could hunt cloakies as that also helps find all those pver's that fit cloaks to their ratting ships while complaining about cloaked players.

In reality a lot of "anti cloack" said same as you: You want to be afk in a ship and be safe ? go in highsec no cloacky. People want just a way to disrupt the perfect immunity of colloquy people, same as you with"counter local".

If a cloaked ship is removed from space by server downtime, planned or unplanned, offline any cloaking devices and reduce capacitor to 85%
This introduces a slight risk to being completely AFK, and creates a modest chance for defenders to catch the cloaked pilot. |

Add capacitor drawback to cloaking devices - reduce capacitor regeneration dramatically, perhaps by 50-90%, while the ship is cloaked., so that cloaked pilots either need to wait some time between warping or periodically cycle cloaks.
Deactivate or even completely offline cloaking devices if the ship drops to 0% capacitor while cloaked, so that long, or frequent warps risk disabling the cloak. Require the ship to be above 50% capacitor to initially activate cloak.
This reduces the possible threat posed by a cloaked ship, and opens the possibility to get some dscan intel.if they become active.again.

Oh look. Another idea that breaks 99% of cloak usage -cases to fix a niche-issue without compensating the nerfs in any way...
How about no? Right now cloaks are balanced. No matter how much you complain about the one person sitting on your system, their presence taunting you in local, it doesn't change the fact that the current implementation of cloaking is balanced and it has it's drawbacks. If you want to take something away from cloaks, you need to be willing to lose something in return. Otherwise you only end up nerfing cloaking to be useless. |

It will be balance the day who people can find colloquy people, They are the counter of local, ok perfect .... And they have no counter ? You see the problem, for me an afk in space must be findable and be kill. (an active people who use cloack can be stay cloack, but an afk it's same as if you afk in "intern markV" at one moment you must be kill :p ) |

We can start talking about finding cloaked people the minute you don't show up in local when you are cloaked. The reason you cannot be found if you are cloaked currently, is because local will always 100% of the times tell if you are in system. |

So we can start to counter to perfect local the day who you lost information about rating in system ho they use perma camp: like Farming, mining etc ... Same as WH in fact. Actually you have to many free intel for no WH area ... so it's already the counter of local, because enemy can know you are here with this informations. |

You seem to be willing to sacrifice any sense of balance and nerf any mechanic as long as you can keep bearing in 100% safety. Removing the statistics (which are already delayed btw) would make finding ANY activity much harder. Again nerfing 99%working mechanics to fix you 1% "issue" to keep you going AFK-ratting.

No, I don't agree that cloaks are a problem. If cloaks were an issue, there would be people complaining about them OUTSIDE nullsec bears. Somehow the only people who have an issue with cloaks are the one living in the most dangerous parts of space. I don't really understand why you are supposed to be 100% safe just by looking at local and intel-channels.
I disagree completely that the right way to fix this non-existing "issue" is to nerf cloaks, as they are currently very balanced by being unable to lock anything or use any modules, not to mention that you have worse stats overall for having the ability to run a covert ops -cloak for example. I don't care about afk-cloaking. I care about all the other cloak-users who would be bulldozed under the current suggestions for "fixing" afk-cloaking. The whole issue with AFK-cloaking is in your head. There are many ways you can be at least decently safe from the cloaker, but somehow nobody seems to be willing to use them.

I don't want be 100% safe. But i want AFK colloquy are not 100 % safe, and actually they are 100 % safe.If you are active, you move, you do somethinf right ? So you will have no problem if the scanner is make to only decloack afk. You understand this ?
When people ask to nerf perma cloack for AFK you said " fu a carebear", but you don't think it's just because i want to hunt afk colloquy people ? generate KM and content on head of afk people who absue of colloquy device to be " 100%"safe.
If you are a pvp player you must agree: ad a counter to afk cloack create content, and only against AFK cloack. Hunt they and kill they :p other case you are a "pvpbear". |

If you're in HS it doesn't make a difference. Since you are in null I assume you're on comms and in a standing defense fleet 100% of the time you are playing, so you have friends to come save you. Right? |

Now the problem is in the details. How do you make it fair and balanced. How do you define being AFK? How do you make it so that using cloaks is still a valid tactic without making them feel underpowered or otherwise useless? |

Funny. I read "yea no problem, if we can find and kill them" as "sure, remove cloaked ships from local and then give us anticloaker probes".
That sounds reasonably balanced to me. Especially if there were to be delayed local chat that allows us to cloak up during that time so that we wouldn't even briefly show up. Nice buff to roaming gangs and cloaky hunters; nicely offset by the ability to hunt the cloaker back.
Perhaps Dictateur should elaborate what he meant for I interpreted it as being in agreement: fix local, then give us the ability to pinpoint them. |

If you manually uncloak and re-cloak, the timer resets. Easy.
Exactly how long the timer should be would answer the first part of your question. Maybe 60 minutes? That should be long enough even for blopsers.

I don't even.....
Again we are nerfing active gameplay to fix a niche-issue. Any kind of timer or fuel will just make using cloaks every day be a pain in the ass. You are supposed to have the ability to choose when you engage, not be on the whim of a clock ticking. |

Read all the post before cry:
Problem of AFK cloack: we can't find they to kill they in space. (Be docked/in pos don"t make you are invincible, enemy must just spend ressource to take pos/station). You have 0 way to kill an afk cloack hide in a system for the moment.
So first ad decloack probe who find a cloack , but don't decloack him unless end of a timer, who allow you to click on "decloack and warp". Timer will depend of 2 thing : Cloack level of target and probe skill of people who probe him. For perfect skill we can imagine you are find in 5 min . (if you are in T1 cloack and you see anti cloack probe, maybe think to warp out every 5 min... or you are afk ?). For T2 15 minutes. YES i know people will cry "in battle my bomber team is same place during 45 min, you must fix it, just warp out/ back in you're place. Not a big deal really.
Problem of local: you have all information. You want remove local/delayed him? go in WH dude, WH can collapse WH to be safe, you have 0 statistic on systems, way to go in WH change everyday, you have no cyan. If you want delayed/remove local in null, ok , but remove all age, just WH in 0,0, cancel all kind of cyno ect... Or you can solve local problem by a new module: Anti-"local" systeme T1: 30 S cycle, at END of the first cycle you become invisible on local. But : you can't warp and you can't cloack. You're signature radius is increase by 10 . T2: 5 s cycle (depend of technical thing), you are invisible on local. You can't cloack. Signature radius increase by 5. Can be only fit on some ship (list must be elaborate).
So: local is not a good source of intel, you must combat probe to find invisible on local. Cloack people afk can be find. More KM, more strat. |

I've read each and every post for the last 30+pages and I've learned some things:
-99% of the people who have a problem with "afk-cloaks", live in sov-null. -99% of the people who suggest how to fix the " issue" are willing to nerf cloaking into nothingness for the sole reason that they don't feel it's balanced without thinking about the rest of EVE and how they use cloaks.
Newsflash: Cloaking IS balanced. For the ability to not be found, you pay in being unable to activate modules, worse stats and big pricetag. The ONLY trump-card that cloaks have, is that they can choose the time of action. They wait for that perfect opportunity.
I'm not here to defend afk-cloaking. I'm here to defend all the other usage-cases. Just one thing though. Afk-cloaking is the direct counter to locals 100% up to date Intel that is freely given. Had nullsec not weaponized local for intel-gathering, would nobody be bothering cloaking up in a system. |

There are many ways you can counter the cloaker, though they may not be direct counters, which is just fine with me, since the whole idea of cloaks is to be non-direct. |
