Main AFK cloaky thread

Cloaked “false sense of security” gate camps. Baiting fights in FW plexes. Baiting fights by getting ganker to combat probe you. All fleet setups, of course, not solo. Off the top of my head I don’t see any benefit to this solo (save for the use of Blops and their penalty reduction). Even without cap depletion, solo non-covert cloak for PVP is probably just unwise outside of parking safely.

Not all enhancements require a problem to be solved. Not all enhancements should be considered solutions to problems - they don’t always fit into that “problem-solution” model. They’re just enhancements. That is it. Good-Better is not the same as Problem-Solution. But again I reiterate the extent to which I do NOT feel strongly about this. To me this conversation is like asking me which of two flavors of ice cream I prefer; I’m fine with either one and feel the outcome is relatively inconsequential. I don’t think it would make-or-break EVE, and I don’t think it would have a dramatic impact on metas, but I do think it would make things more dynamic. I can assure you I am not pitching a solution to a problem I acknowledge does not exist. I don’t particularly care that much about it.

Not really? AFK cloaking is fine, indefinite cloaking is fine, the status quo of cloaks are fine. I think it would make fights more interesting, not that it is necessary. This isn’t a sword I’d fall on. I probably feel less strongly about this than Mike and Brisc, who in the past have said the following:

I asked Brisc what he had in mind since it was listed on his CSM campaign platform and he said the following:

On that note: @Mike_Azariah @Brisc_Rubal I apologize for quoting you in the anus of all threads on the forums, but I would like to follow up on that prior discussion - has this come up at all between CSM/CCP?
