Once more CCP starts bowing down to the nullbear bot alliances. Last time you did that to fix things you needed black out. carefull not to repeat the mistakes of the past. this change is wrong. the bots will have a field day from now on.

So you’re destroying cloaky camping, but leave local-reporting bots as they are. Good stuff, ccp.

Next patch after this will finally declare non consensual PVP to be an exploit

Read my previous comment again. The fact that this went over the head of the average ferox f1 pushing linemember reinforces my point. These changes were not considered more than ‘CLOAKING BAD’

Sounds like a good one, have to wait and see.
Much better than the Fuel idea, which would ■■■■ up WH people in the pooper.

I support this change, but I expect that the bots will have no problem cycling their cloaks every once in a while.

How “random” are these things?
And the
+1
they not even on market on sisi.
my guess is that they have a 100km range or such lol stats.
and the “cloak resistance” vs random pings will surley be overcome by an simple egg timer.

its not cause AFK CLOAKY CAMPER are not against BOTs they are against player like me who try to get stuff going.
They do well at their purpose, stopping AFK people, anyone active will just re-cloak

One of the biggest issues that I constantly hear about from players is AFK cloaky camping. The biggest problem with addressing AFK cloaky camping is that there are plenty of valid forms of gameplay that require being cloaked for long periods of time waiting, and a fix that wouldn’t make those forms of gameplay impossible or greatly impaired was difficult to come up with.
CCP has made it a priority to focus on making gameplay more active and less passive, so this deployable fits right in with what they’ve been working on. It requires somebody to be at the keyboard and paying attention, or risk getting decloaked, scanned down and blown up. It will have some impact on campers who are paying attention - there will be things you need to do in order to stay safe and continue waiting - but it will have the greatest impact on people who aren’t there, and give the folks in the system the ability to finally do something about that pesky neut in local who won’t leave and you can’t find.
The way this is designed, it shouldn’t have a major impact on active BLOPS hunting, on streamers like me cloaked up watching a fight, on people traveling through hostile systems where they’re in a deep safe, on wormholers, or many of the other existing metas that use cloaks. It should only really impact AFK cloaky camping, and that’s a good thing.
Once this is up on SISI, I’d be interested in hearing feedback on how it works, if the timers make sense, the cost and anything else specific to this module that folks want CCP to work on.
