So Cloaking Devices are the new Reinforced Bulkheads. I guess this thread isn't needed anymore.

That would be the best solution.
During Castor days (or some time around that) we did have more scrambling rats. Why did CCP change that? I don't know. But I really dislike how the game got more carebearized by CCP. Back then, 0.0 belt rats posed "some" noticeable risk, now they pose almost no risk. Why must belting in 0.0 be so ridiculously easy?
Bring back scrambling rats. Bring back challange to the game.
And for god's sake, add at least SOME spawns that are actually hard to kill, at least in -0.5 to -1.0 systems. (an example of hard spawn would include 3-type spawn of up to 9 NPCs total, up to 3 scramble frigs, 3 cruisers, and 3 bs)

For many PVP-er ratting is a way to get income (and buy/make new ships). Why nerf that?

Agree. Not all pvp-ers are in alliances with free t2 BPO's |

easiest option is
put a tax on using the cloak,
ie 90% tax, as you can only lease the technology from the manufacter.
the dedicated cloaker ships , are no good for ratting so does not hurt them.

There's a lot being said about cloaking isk farmers, and using this as one justification for nerfing cloaks. I'm curious as to what makes so many think cloak using isk farmers are so prevalent in Eve.
Is it that they regularly see cloaking devices on farmer killmails or in wrecks?
Is it that they actually regularly witness them cloaking?
Is it that they fail at probing them out while still seeing them in local and assume cloaks are being used?
I have a bit of experience in several 0.0 regions and have spent my fair share of time hunting down farmers. While I won't attempt to deny that cloaks are used, I don't think I've ever personally seen either of the first two. If someone can provide links of the first, that's fine, but I'd need a truck load to be convinced it's enough of a problem to warrant a nerf. In my experience, the third point above is the most common...anyone else?

Dude when you were last time in 0.0???
Go to tenal/branch/delve etc you can see players in npc corps in ravens on scanner and after less then a minute they disapear (cloaking).
I kill lots of them (some of them are noobs), and they all have cloaks (even those who are in TRIUMVIRE/XELAS alliance).
And its very hard (they have to make mistake) to kill them.
75% of them are isk farmers (isk sellers, mostly chineese/korean dunno why they sit on our server when they have their own)
Their should be way to find cloaked ships (like 1hour scanning time)

Hmmm, I've spent quite a bit of time in the North and often research various killboards to see what certain farmers are fitting, and honestly can't recall seeing a cloak listed. i'll take your word for it, though. I can however recall on many, many occasions assuming that a farmer had cloaked because I wasn't able to scan or probe him, only to later find out he was actually well outside my probing range.
