Currently I own a couple accounts, and one of them being a specialized scout with many skill points into covert ops, scan probes and related skills. I am very disappointed to say the least, about CCP's decision to bow to public whining about afk cloaker's ruining their fun.
I would completely support this idea if it would only allow scan probes to detect non-cov ops types on a chance based system. Especially if it was further balanced by a ships size or signature radius to start with. There are certain ships that shouldn't be taking full advantage of a cloak, and agree with the general desire to keep people from being afk cloaked.
Stealth Bombers, Force Recon and Covert Ops ships by nature should never ever be detectable with any amount of scan probing. In effect you are nerfing an entire profession here, with probably some very predictable results.
I spend a majority of my time with my scout character working towards being a top-notch recon pilot. I spent my time training towards those skills, I have spent money on those mods back when they were extremely expensive. I have practiced and specialized an entire character towards being good at being a great spook.
And now I fear with the reckless firing of the nerf cannon, CCP may finally have ruined a good portion of the fun in this game for me. I have shrugged off all sorts of drama bombs pointed at CCP, I ignore 99% of all the whining about things being unbalanced and do not get involved in those discussions one way or another. I have trusted the dev team to balance things out and do the right thing over time. I understand this game is not static, but fluid and requiring adjustments here and there.
However, pointing the nerf-cannon at a whole mini-profession that has a large following like covert ops and recon work, might hurt CCP worse than any other current drama bombs. I beg you sirs to rethink your caving in to the whine and cheese crowd, think long and hard about this. You can be sure I will be paying attention to this and logging on frequently to the test server.

all the guys are just complaining that their solo-pwnmobiles will be nerfed...
yeh, because my Buzzard is a solo pwm-mobile? Oh shoot you know what? You are right, I forgot I have trained the skill "Piercing gaze" and "Death by Staring" to level 6.

cloakers were abusing the fact that they cannot be detected by probes so they would go afk in the system for days and then when they know that everyone is ignoring them cause they are afk most the time they get their ratting kill in.. rinse and repeat
That is the lamest way I have ever heard of getting kills, and if this nerf to cloak is based on that scenario then CCP has truly been taken over by carebears.
