Ok, so as many of you know in the 0.0 environment, from time to time you may be faced upon an AFK (Away from keyboard for those of you that don't know) hostile sitting in your system. Their main intention of course, is to have the population of that system get used to him and possibly rat/mine/haul/do whatever they do in that system. Upon this happening the "AFK" cloaker would then strike, sometimes killing their opponent and sometimes failing, going back into their AFK status.
I don't know about the rest of you think, but these are some ideas about how we can ABOLISH AFK cloaking:
* Probes that can be used by probe launchers to scan down and locate the EXACT location of cloaked ships
* A Starbase module that can scan down cloaked ships in the system
* A Starbase module that can completely ELIMINATE cloaking in the ENTIRE system.
A note on this one: This is fair! This would also allow the people that have sov in system/live in system be unable to safespot and cloak if an enemy gang comes along bigger than themselves. A sov requirement could also be an interesting idea in this aspect, as that would probably allow the best balance
* Have ALL cloaking modules only be allowed to be active for a certain duration of time (so say 15min-30min), requiring the person that is cloaked to in a sense "refresh" their cloaking electronics.
Look, what I don't want to see in this thread is a bunch of people going: "Well you don't know what flying a recon is like, they aren't that strong, and afk cloaking is boring and sometimes you fail and blah blah.." and "Cloaking is part of the game and your trying to ruin it"
Listen, I FLY a pilgrim, and I know fully their capabilities, especially when well trained. I realize that cloaking is a part of the game and I am not opposed to it. What I am OPPOSED to is not being able to find someone cloaked when you may have the following equipment in a certain system:
* A station
* Multiple Starbases
* A level 4 sov!

Thank you for your post, it helps the thread a lot. Also very bold of you to post with a npc corp alt. I admire your courage.
It's too bad that the data from our old killboard cant be put onto that new one, all my data from the new one is a bit skewed.

Anyone that would like to respond to this post in an intelligent manner is welcome. This forum troll/useless poster obviously doesn't have the intelligence to respond properly.
