Yer idea is way too complicated.
But I agree something needs to be done about AFK cloakers who prowl systems and make everyone nervous and basically unable to do anything productive or profitable.
But the solution could be a lot easier. The client can detect of someone is doing things, like typing, moving the mouse, etc. The client can easily be changed to decloak people who are completely inactive after X amount of time. This won't stop the most determined of cloaking harassment, but it'll sure help a lot if people actually have to be active in their client every X minutes to remain cloaked. |

The reason people cant stand it, is because ONE bozo can effectively shut down an entire system to mining/plex running by remaining in the system cloaked. All he has to do is kill one guy and then just stay there. No one will go out because you cant tell where he is, if he's afk or not.
It's not fair that one pilot NOT EVEN PLAYING THE FRICKING GAME can shut down an entire star system with his presense. |

Sorry, I totally fail to see the breaking of game mechincs by my suggestion. Please elaborate, for my curisouity?

I will refer you to this line in my OP: This won't stop the most determined of cloaking harassment |

Quote:1. When you cloak, you're removed from local. You simply no longer show up in local, period.
I am afraid I fail to see how making it easier for cloakers and their black ops buddies to prey on defenseless targets is going to make things better. |
