200km Cloaky ESS Paladins have no valid counter-play and should be considered an exploit

Yes this is cope & seethe.

Filthy ESS robber here

More and more commonly now ESS grids are pre-camped with cloaking marauders which will reveal themselves and pop you from 200km as soon as you enter grid.

- No booshers allowed to reach them

- No probing on grid- No MWD in bubble so even with 100MN cruisers, you're moving around 1300m/s

- Sensor damps and tracking disruptors can't reach out that far, even with rigs and implants, even then marauders are resistant to EWAR.

- No way of detecting them before entering unlike combat reconsEssentially this is risk free pvp for the marauders. Even if you get close to them, they just MJD away and warp off. Cloaking should not be allowed on the ESS grid at all - it already isn't on the acceleration gate grid.

If you have a good counter to this I'll try it - but otherwise I've settled on making a 'sh1t list' of known pilots which has around 30 now, all set to bad standings. If you're a scumbag robber like me then I will share the list with you so we can add to it.

Ishtar bots don't deserve their ESS money.
