Yeah but if the ship is moving, even AFK, then you can’t land on it unless you bm several times.

Yeah, I don’t think that would be bad.

I don’t see that as a problem ^^

Caps should not safely jump through hostile environment.  
Also, they cap inject in the warp after jumping.

But yeah, those are point that need to be taken into account (Just because I don’t really care, does not mean others don’t).

Because of that, people could easily catch a moving capital ships by dropping multiple mobile observatories. After all, 60 million ISK may be expensive, but is suddenly very cheap when you can drop a bunch of them to catch a multi-billion supercapital ship.

No, we don’t forget that.  
When did you see anything larger then a Corvette acting outside of a fleet?  
Naval Strategists, especially with the beyond-visual-range combat becoming the norm in the last century, have been well aware that the larger a ship gets, the easier it will be to stage an attack against it, therefore large ships are increasingly undesired and where large vessels are required nevertheless (e.g. to give landing aircraft enough room to decelerate on aircraft carriers) , considerable resources are allocated into the protection of the large vessel.

Your attempt to move a carrier by sneaking around with it in an area full of hostiles is in no way reflective to the way a carrier is designed to be moved.

Exactly stuff like that. It was _only_ annoying, offered no benefit, frustrated masses of players and _still_ people argued in the balancing discussions “no no, thats _needed_, I have a _niche_ there with my magic-damage-only-barb specialbuild!!!111” or “just skip it!” or “just _get better!_” - exactly like here.  
And then the Devs finally fixed it because people actually complained season after season after season until they realized it is _simply bad_ - and was bad from day one. And voilá, the game was _better_. Nothing bad happened. Nothing broken.

Absolutely it is. You remember the argument that is being told _everytime_ someone complains he was ganked in HS or being caught in LS or 0.0 ratting because he didn’t pay attention to Dscan/Local for _10 seconds_? “If you want to stop paying attention GO DOCK / LOG OFF!”. Cloaking shoudn’t be an exception.  
People should have options to put pressure on cloakies that forces them to be ready to warp, change course, reposition in very short intervals if the hunt is on. There should be no right to “convenience cloaking”.

Even worse, in places where you can’t use MoObs, you have not even that option. Someone can sit cloaked for hours directly next to your station and track every move, who is going out, who is coming in, who is docked, where is a group going and you can do absolutely _nothing_ against that. This is _clearly_ broken and should have countermeasures.

If you want to use deployables that break cloak, if you want to use specialized ships or probes or a combination of all that is a design preference, but in the end it _can_ absolutely be designed in a way that _both_ sides have their chances and options and in the end the one with more skill, attention and dedication “wins”.

Null-sec should probably be able to lock down stargates in space they control (or at least restrict access). And maybe we should get rid of filaments altogether.

I am absolutely supportive of this.

SOVers would be able to isolate themselves from the rest of new eden, which is exactly what they want the most. They would also trap all their alliance members inside their space, which is what they want the second most, as that guarantees income for the Jump Freighters, and it also finally removes the last bit of competition nullsec marketers were facing, guaranteeing them income no matter how hard they scam.

Can I join a group dedicated to lancer-ing Jump Freighters? I want to contribute my share into bleeding out SOV space.

The über charm spammed by a rabid druid (faster AS of the game) able to desync people… and crash the server, leading to dupe method.

I never lost a barb in the hell sanctuary (I played HC diablo2 solo self drop), but that’s mainly because I only used shouting barbs (with double spirit swords !! ). Could not do it in hell though, too many immuns.

But back to topic, yes people see a change in itself as an issue, even if later on it’s actually beneficial and they would not want to go back (but won’t admit it)

I forgot to mention the bugged souls in act V.

And also the ability to spam skeletons and crash the server, too, another dupping method (fixed like CCP did with carriers, by reducing the amount of skeletons but giving them better stats)

The same six people saying the same things to each other for hundreds of posts every time someone waggles a laser pointer in front of them.

I’ll tell you a little secret.

SAYING THE SAME STUFF IN EVERY CLOAKY CAMPER THREAD IS GOING TO CHANGE EXACTLY ZERO MINDS!

That also applies to gank threads, FW threads, botting threads, etc.

Carry on.

Pretty sure they have more than enough “cheerleaders” on the CSM and elsewhere that have already suggested this. Other than the idea for a wall. That’s mine. I guess it could also be a minefield…

Sorry, it’s my old age.

Usually its not the voice thats the issue its the volume of the hearing aids!! Kinda like drunk people at the pub yelling and spitting in your ear over the music.
