Hello,

would like to offer the idea, to make it possible to find permacloaker in a system.
People login, fly on a safespot and take look every few hours.
He had a hugh bonus, but the systemuser have no way to find him...

Whats about a "effect" when the ship stands for about 30 minutes cloaked at the same point.
Some interferences may be found when a ship is cloaked so long at the same point

Combat Scanner Probes may find a signature after a time and you have the chance to warp to the cloaky and decloak him.

This will reduce the amount of afk cloaker in a system and may reduce it to pilots that really want to get a kill or pilots that chance the position every xy minute

Just gonna throw an idea out there: If you're worried about cloakies in a system, then secure your system better, have more combat ships ready to warp at any second, bubble gates and drop random items that will decloak a ship and have people watch.

Mummy I'm scared of the big meanie cloakies! Make them go away! abloobloobloo

yeah and pay playre for being 24h around just waiting for a cloaky ;)

the part that cloakys have such hugh bonus is something special. what other tactic or typ of ship has a so big advantage.
permacloakys can't shoot u, thats right, but you have to live with the threat all the time and when systems are full with permacloakys most of them just want to be a threat and bring down the live in the system. just with being there and afk..

that this point is discussed so often, shows that it needs some work.

i don't say "lets easy scan for the cloaky and kill them", the cloaky must have his "cloakybonus". but not for those who stand only in a system, and maybe engage you every 3-4 days.

the most of them has a safespot and they stand still all the time...
so why not add a effect, like a spatial distortion that comes up after some time (maybe 30 or 45 minutes) and is scanable with probes. the permacloaky has to warp away, he has to play not to be afk, just moving or orbit all the time would not help because his cloak is disrupting the space around... maybe 0.1 AU

this will leave the cloaky advantage but gives pilots the possibility to do something against afk permacloakys.
you can still camp a gate with cloakys, who comes to a system and scans the gate with probes ^^ ?

and when you are a sci-fi fan ^^ in every space sci-fi series there is a way to find cloaked ships that stand around. by tracking his warp signature or because of a spatial distortion or many more ^^

Hello,

if they are cloaked they can't shoot you.

STOP AFK CLOACKING TODAY

And what happen when the AFK cloaked ship is aligning something ?
30 minute enough to reach another grid easily. So what is the cloaking in same point ? :P

"...just moving or orbit all the time would not help because his cloak is disrupting the space around... maybe 0.1 AU..."
^^

But your idea with the fuel is a nice idea too
... "and when this topic is some topic that is discussed most of the time as some of u say, think about why ;)"

About why ? Because we want to kill afk cloakers, but afk cloaking is risk free. Just asking why ? Why risk free a playtype in enemy space, when everything other movements there is not risk free ???

Docking up is risk free....

Really ? Try risk free docking up when station bubbled and enemy fleet are there and you are not in a cloaked ship and warp there.

If you were dumb enough to wait long enough for them to get set up like that, then yeah. If you're paying attention and just dock when they're two jumps out, then where's the risk?

Well this post is popping up quite often so mayby something should be done about it.

If the mechanics would be perfect there would be no whiners now would there.

I heard that some people need to sleep, can't believe it, but read it somewhere in the inet... it's scarring me
