So Here I have a dead end system with not many anoms, practically no traffic. There is a person with 3 accounts in 3 systems sitting around 24/7 for about 4 months now without end, only reason being the corp i'm in even if the few around have actually left.
SO the deal is if you decide to rat or haul you will be accosted by a force recon and the 2 other alts, if he can't kill you without risk you will receive a blops drop from the assholes next door. If he does lose a ship it will be replaced by plex, so no pve to kill.
I know the awnser to deal with it is either a whole bunch of friends or money for alts, but when the awnser is spend money I tend to lean the opposite direction.
I'm simply here to hear some oppinions on what the awnser is to deal with this. To reiterate, it's an afk cloaker with 3 accounts and a blops drop. Answers besides "bait him" on how it can be dealt with.
Being sapient can drive us mad.

Try bait ships
Then have the boys come in and kill.
mix and match them so that sometimes its a normal ship (ie cheap) and sometimes a bait ship
The first one will definately work as you sound like a nullbear grinding isk and he wont be expecting it. |

I don't have the friends for that to work, and it'd have to be cyno.

Alternatively, you could probably pay a bunch of mercs to counter drop his BLOPS drop. But that of course involves paying them.
See, you already know how to deal with it, but you don't want to. So, you'll probably have to live with it or move out like your buddies did. |

Moving out poses the same problem if someone else likes to afk cloak though, so it doesn't really solve the problem.

Well, you are not supposed to hold a system alone, so wherever you move in, make sure to bring enough friends to defend it. |

To be truthful
its much better when a fleet arrives in system and pounds you into the ground and its all over very quickly.
Than the slow death of a cloaker who backs up his intentions.
Either pay merc or take what you can and leave the system. It will be easier in the long run |

Petition your CSM members (or CCP) to finally address this. I suspect you aren't alone with your frustration...
I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

There is already a 430 page circular discussion on AFK Cloaking here:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=397030&find=unread
The OP should just be added into that thread. |

There's nothing that you can do against that type of person.
Doesn't matter how many times you kill him or how many times he kills you, he will never stop for any of those reasons, unless he decides himself to go somewhere else but it's not because you kill him or he kills you.
The only thing you can do is try to ignore him/avoid him, or.. just move away to different system/corp.
And remember everyone you "try" to kill him, you are feeding his actions and motivate him to keep doing it. |

You're either not trying hard enough or are just so bad at socializing. I'm no social person (I think) and I have people I can trust.

If you cant beat them, join them?
Seems to me that neither of you are profiting from the current situation.
Or try cutting a deal with them for mutual benefit.

Park enough firepower to beat him at random safes, then bait him? You'd want [insert favorite ratting ship here] fitted crazy tanky (geckos), long point, and cap warfare resistance, and maybe a flight of ECM drones. Dual rep Brutix, maybe?
I'm thinking one seriously tanky hictor (hold the battleships) and maybe a rattler or two (widow can't jam out the drones,rattler can fit very tanky in case it gets the geckos' attention).
A signature :o

The afk system needs to be worked on and at this time if your hands arent at the key board you should be easily found even if your cloaked. Now if your hands are on the key board or mouse then your ship should keep warping to safes to not be found. Easy fix can be done here. If you afk then you should just be found and dye. But if your not afk cloaking and moving around in system then you won't be found.
I don't have a problem with people wanting to camp a system why at their key boards. I have a problem with people being able to walk away from their key board for hours on end and still being cloaked up. Were the darn risk? or reward? Only one sided here.

You could wait for CCP to introduce something that makes afk cloaky harder. Like a new sov structure that occasionally pulses and causes people to have to recloak? CCP might have forgotten about some of these ideas so in the meantime try to bait them into deadspace where they can't light cynos and kill them there. |

You having backup prevents him from attack.
Edit: think about it differently. You have backup and do your stuff ignoring the person in question. You mine, rat, etc. He cannot do anything (he knows - you have backup). Either he tries to attack (and gets killed because of backup) or leaves in shame. Isn't it moral victory?

There is no risk from an afk player.
Remove Local from player sov, and you will no longer have this problem.

This isn't a matter of 'In My Perfect EVE World People Wouldn't Do This'. The game mechanics for cloaking, watching d-scan and local, and calling in targets are being used normally and how they were intended, so I don't think you can argue that this is something people shouldn't be doing, just an inconvenience that apparently was big enough to take to the forums.
From a gameplay perspective it's working as intended. |
