If they do create a new counter for cloaks. Then while cloaked your character should dissapear in local chat unless you talk. When u decloak you should reappear. If your asking for new ways to counter and combat cloaks. Then makes sense to give cloaked ships real sealth.

you do realize that i mean the fuel wold be only consumed only after being 1 hour cloaked without recloak? wtf you mean with timespan reactivationā¦
My money is theyāll make cloaking in null a āfeeā isk payment by the server tick that gets sucked into the encounter surveillance system.

You do realize that in order to go around murdering AFK FW Robots effectively, I would need to be able to cloak, decloak and recloak a good number of times within that one hour in order to be successful, as I roam around for targets, as well as passing gatecamps ?
Or would I just have to settle for one kill per ācloakyfuelcellā hour in your bookā¦ ?
Do you even know the basics of pvp and travel through dangerous space in this game before buying into such stupid ideas ?
Thatās only @Ridley_Rohanās view. No one else cares if you talk about it, but ideally in the existing thread, although people still prefer to start new ones too (eg. this one).
Tell me, did you fall on your head? Iām saying that the consumption should only start when you have remained in cloak for a damn hour without decloaking in between, so you are cloaked afk for an hour, then the first cycle starts with the fuel consumption, is it so hard to understand or am I writing in chinese?
I do not really give a ā ā ā ā about the fuel consumption, itās about the fact that you insult me and do not understand what I wrote and even twist itā¦
The biggest thing to work around with that idea is that just about (not quite, but close) any ship can fit a cloak, even those with big cargo (eg. industrials).
So if the only change is that fuel is consumed after the first hour, people will camp AFK in cloaked industrials. Blockade runners would even still give them the option to warp around cloaked rather than just sitting on grid, but even just on grid is good enough for intel gathering, in addition to hurting the ratters mental state. They donāt need to hot drop. The thread is enough to keep the whiners whining.
So I donāt think itās a solution that will fix the problem.

CCP already announced what cloak camping will be addressed, so we just have to wait.
Personally I like idea of slow cap drain while cloaked, so after some long period of time, like hour or two, cloaker will need to stay visible for few minutes to regen cap. This solution does not affect active hunters in any way, and not affect passive campers which actually play the game, but 24/7 afk campers will be totally wasted.

I honestly donāt even know if CCP was serious or just mentioned that to keep up the appearance that they are listening to everyone. The worst solution than spritt consumption would be that they introduce a heat damage and then you actually have to repair your cloak with nanitpaste to use it again, I can really trust CCP to come up with such a solution instead of introducing a fuel bay for covert ops as an example.
It does in wormholes, but krabs donāt care about any other player anyway, so no surprise thereā¦

You really need to stay cloaked more than two hours on actively used ship for day to day activities?
And no, Iām not nullsec krabber, so your pun is absolutely missed there.
In before the lock lol.
Its not cloaks people had problems with. Its the combination of cloaks and CYNOS. Wormholers dont get it because Wormholers dont have to worry about someone decloaking a stealth bomber then bringing in 50 guys also in bombers that you have no hope of surviving.
I dont complain about cloaky campers I just keep ratting in cheaper ships and ignore them. If they want to hot drop a 30 mil vexor, well ok lol.
But IMO all that talk about fuel is misguided. The simple fix is to make cloaks and CYNOS incompatible ie if you have one on your ship you cant have the other.

Wont someone think of the poor GateCams?
I seem to have really burned myself into your poor little psyche. I never expressed the view that the topic of cloaky camping is forbidden or even should be.
I do hope you can get over me eventually. You might start blaming me for the weather next.
If salty rain starts to fall, might be an honest mistake.
Indeed it does seem I caused some salty rain to flow from some eyes here. First I am cried about without even posting in this thread, and then we have you in the peanut gallery feeling the need to drop your salt water on the field.
Howās about sticking to the topic at hand and stop being babies about past threads?

NIce Irony meter. If you have issues with threads going off topic, smack it up against Scipio Arteliusās head, not mine. A reference to me might have gone overlooked. A misrepresentation of my views will not.
Do it. I dare you tell him to stay off my nuts so the thread can pan out. I dare you to lay blame where its due.
Lighten up man. Not everything is so serious. It was just a reference to your post a few days ago being all forum police at an OP for opening a new cloaky thread in General Discussion.
But calm your tits. No harm meant.
