that explains so much
The issue is not change itself, but that ‘change for the better’ depends very much on who’s version of ‘better’ is being applied. I often see people speak of ‘balance’…but it has to be remembered that EVE contains many perfectly natural imbalances ( there will always be more predators than prey, for example ) were applying ‘balance’ would likely be ruinous to the entire game ecosystem.
The true balance in EVE is always that people have choice. If you are going to rescue people from their choices then the game is no longer EVE.
Cant do anything BUT push around a push over… 
PS- the check is in the mail!
That’s fine, will use that on my next bill payment.
Lol Jump into null > Make safe’s and anchor small secure cans > Warp to 1 of the cans at range > cloak and orbit. Now it looks like ya not afk as your orbit changes > go enjoy your day/night while the forums collect tears from nullbears 
Anchorable structure that pings every 15-30 minutes and decloaks EVERYTHING in system.
The timer on Cloak was a good step forward, but AFK cloaky camping has been a stone in CCP’s hoof for literally all 16 of my years in the game. It’s pathetic they have allowed it for so long. It’s causes entire groups to unsub and quit the game for months at a time, if not permanently.
CCP hates it’s players.
Not only should the cloak mechanic be restored back to when it was fun, but when cloaked you should not show up in local chat.
Everybody wins.

Would this also apply to gate / wh cloak and with enough grace period for activating the cloak module or popping into a system would still result in showing up in local until the cloaking device is actually activated? 
Blopsed-in toons should get stargate/wormhole cloak, too. More people would play Widows and Panthers if there was a means to prevent the marauder bullies to pummel them before the hardeners can be activated on all alts.
So your saying that because a guy can cloak up in a system ( afk ) large groups will unsub and quit for months ??
Wow i just found out how to get rid of most of the nullbears lol.
What i find pathetic is people whining because “my gameplay” isnt the same as yours lol
Love this idea. Would make a big impact on the botters

People have been crying about cloaky campers for 20 years.
That’s a very good indication that something is very wrong with this game mechanic! 
so 12.5 accounts to worry about isn;t that a good thing?
judging by your zkill, i guess this is just a thread to cause some random drama. well mission accomplished

It’s a good indication that something used to be wrong with this game mechanic.
For the majority of those 20 years people could do nothing to deal with people who left their cloaky campers in space 24/7 as there was no way to interact with them or to force them to pay attention.
Luckily a few years ago we finally got the means to interact with AFK cloaky campers: mobile observatories.
However, in your case I don’t think a mobile observatory would have been the right call.
Sorry about your Praxis, I assume that’s why you made this post.
If I analyze it:
It’s not recommended to rat in a staging system, it’s always very busy so it’s hard to keep track of hostile players. It also attracts a lot of attention from hostile groups too so you’re no doubt going to see some cloaky players as a staging system is the first place they’ll check.
E3OI-U is Brave’s staging system, try ratting anywhere else. The system has many hostile eyes for the group that lives out of the NPC station in PR-8CA, which is one Redeemer-jump away.
If you had looked at the zkillboard of that cloaky in local who caught you you would have noticed they are an Arazu cyno pilot backed by a rather large fleet of either Redeemers or Lokis. Redeemers in your case.
Try another system in Delve, Querious or elsewhere in Imperium space, almost any other system is better to rat in than E3OI-U.
Dude, the flood of hi sec miners into null to grab everything when no one is on would be something else.
Do it.
If you cloak, you don’t show up in local. Problem solved.

Enemies used to engage in fights, now they hide cloaked till they can blops and cloak back up. If people are so worried about null carebears its time to climb into some ships and go roaming instead of hiding cloaked like clowns. These people just want to maintain 0 risk pvp instead of having a real battles which is why there is a blops meta instead of real fleets.
