Been discussed before and wrong thread.
The counter is already present. You can jump out of system to another.
Cloaky camping exists already as a direct counter to your local channel New Eden wide intelligence tool.

Then I suggest you do your homework before repeating a list of the same old flawed arguments that are going nowhere. Unless local channel is changed you will get no change to cloaking and there are reasons even then why it should not be changed.
Your right to do something in space is only by accepting that there is a risk your ship might be exploded. It is up to you to ensure that does not happen by the use of intelligence, fitting, piloting, backup, location, tactics, etc...

So says a player who operates in cheap ships only, go on get in a Vargur or something like that and show us how real men do it against cloaky AFK campers.
To the OP, I know its got harder with the removal of the watch list, I used to use that to see what the cloaky camper had between his legs so to speak. Best thing you can do is go grab some cheap ships like this troll scrub uses and operate with them, its what I did and it at least means you do something in game.
Without any doubt the most boring real PvP in this game is to be dropped by a Black Ops BS fleet, it is only a marginal step up from hisec ganking especially if generated from an AFK blanket cloaky camper.
I have over the years posted suggestions about this and my favourite is an AFK flag for people away for more than an hour that gets flagged and removed if he does anything with the client. In this thread you saw them say oh his is afk what are you scared of, well when I suggested that, the AFK part suddenly mattered. The thing is that CCP is hoisted by their own petard in terms of the log off to escape combat or being hunted. One will see that a cloaked up Titan being hunted for PL will suddenly have a flag saying not AFK but that is OK if it stops AFK play from being rewarding by stopping people from doing stuff through significant unknown threat based on what can cyno in on you.
I don't like the fuel idea because I often got safe and cloaked up in systems without stations.
There is a AFK cloaky thread on features and ideas but it is filled with trolls like this one, post your suggestion on that. What you could do is de-sub for a couple of months, go and play another game and state your reason as AFK cloaky camping and go to town on people not playing the game having an impact and it is wrong.
You will find players like the troll having a go at people who mine AFK as being lame and the like but they then support AFK cloaky camping, its because they are prize A hyprocites and you are wasting breath and time even engaging with them.

The correct reply is you are not afraid of a cloaky camper, but what he is able to cyno in on you that will kill your major ISK making asset.
The counter is to step down as a group into a fleet of small stuff with your mates and operate like that, I found the cloaky campers hated that...

On a more serious note, I have done quite some ratting in lowsec for tags and encountered my share of cloaky cynoes. Do you want to know how I manage not to get caught? I fly fast ships and just don't get tackled. It's pretty easy...
But yes, it is even easier to come to the forums and whine.

In fact lets ask you something very direct, why are you who does the most interesting in your face PvP in the game defending the most lazy PvP in the game, the irony is stunning.

I'm actually pretty indifferent towards ganking. But let me guess, you are one of those AG guys?
The reason why I even mentioned it, was because you started comparing e-peens, obviously thrashing my KB just because, in your eyes, my kb containing only cheap ships can only be trash (not that my kb is great, but who gives a damn about kb... Oh wait, you do). So given your big words, I figured I'd see an AMAZING kb. And truly... whoring on concord kills is AMAZING!!! |

Actually I did not trash your KB, all I did was point out the difference between you and the OP in terms of ships you put at risk, and you quite rightly pointed out being able to get out fast as important. Your KB is fine and you play in what I found as a fun arena, which can be ruined by blobbing in combat recons. Old players do have multiple accounts you know and I have done what you are doing, just not on this character and yes this character has done AG stuff, which is more challenging then ganking by the way.
You see you could only really get into his shoes if you were operating in a Vargur or something like that.
But what I find interesting is you who does the most fun in your face PvP defending lazy people who plonk a toon into space, then check the screen while playing other games then sees something active logs on stuff and kills it execution style,.
What you do is fun fast and gives a hell of a rush, did I knock what you did or your killboard, I simply pointed out that until you put serious assets at risk against this type of thing you really are whining about someone whining.

The objective I had was to stop people who leave their character logged in to interact with people while at work or asleep. The suggestion could of course be used against people by an active player, but I am perfectly fine with that. It really works as an intel tool to enable people to correctly assess the risk faster and does not enable people to be rewarded by lazy AFK play.
Thanks for your reply on this idea I appreciate it, to me you are a reasoned poster, which is what these forums need.

What you do is fun fast and gives a hell of a rush, did I knock what you did or your killboard, I simply pointed out that until you put serious assets at risk against this type of thing you really are whining about someone whining. See, if I actually would fly around in expensive ships. Then I would understand or at least research how to use them efficiently. Tag ratting is really not that efficient using a Vargur, when it can be done in a 10M Thrasher. But let's say, I was doing lvl4s in lowsec. I'm pretty sure you could use a Vargur for that. So if I use my dscan properly, I would never be caught doing a mission site, since people get decloaked when they have to use the acceleration gate. And moving between systems is really not where a cloaky afk'er would pose a threat.
So how about ratting and doing anomalies in nullsec? Yes, here a cloaky poses a slightly bigger threat. I really don't know what fitting is needed so don't know how mobile these ships are,but I for sure would have some backup ready. Otherwise, I could research the cheapest options that can rat in null and just accept the risk as an additional cost. Those are the things, I know I would consider. But I'm sure that there are some material on the net, since I know people say that ratting in null can be done rather safely, even with the "big" threat of afk cloakers.
So yes, you could consider this as whining. I whine about people coming to the forums and spamming about none-issues.
You say this is lazy PvP, but one could argue that ratting is equally lazy PvE. From what I gather, it does not really require much involvement. Also, if someone is truly AFK and cloaked, then they pose no threat at all by definition. You cannot lock and shoot someone, if you are not at the keyboard. The reason AFK cloakers are even an issue, is because people are too risk-averse and get easily spooked. Or are not willing to adapt and come to the forums to whine. |

Actually its level 5's and anomalies in lowsec, but the gates is a key thing, remember you are however using a bastion module, this has to be worked into your risk assessment.
You are now thnking about it which is better than whining about someone whining and trolling them, I have actually tried to kill BLOP's fleets, its damn difficult, one whiff of a threat and they don't drop, it is rather frustrating, its not really that easy and I suggest that at some point in your Eve life you try it.
You are quite correct that jumping in cheaper ships and working as a team to rat and get the ADM's up is a good way, I have done that.
You say risk adverse, come on being in null sec means he is not risk adverse and they are putting serious assets on the line against what tend to be the most risk adverse players in the game. I talk from experience that the BLOP's players will not drop if they have any risk. I have moved systems I have done all that, have you been blanket cloaky camped before, I guess not, have you had a large NCDOT BLOP's gang ready to drop on you in those systems too, I have. It is not risk adverse its suicide.
The issue to me is simply that people who are AFK are actually interacting with the game while AFK, that is the real meat and bones of the issue and it is not a non-issue, do you think that these lazy people who do that are really worthy of the support of a real PvP player like yourself. Until there is an AFK flag then how the hell do you know if he is really AFK and if he is not at least that will reward someone who is playing.
AFk ratting in an Ishtar is lazy, not PVE as a whole.
But thanks for a more reasoned post, that was better.
Ella's Snack bar. The Hisec sandbox is basically no longer a themepark for gankers now that CCP have rebalanced key areas. Well done CCP

its amazing the mere presence of a neutral character in local can bring a whole system and alliance to a grinding halt with fear of what may happen. i like it, its like psychological warfare at its finest.
