Hold on, hold on. If this is to be removed, cloaks would become more OP. For me, cloaking IS a game exploit in each way.

To elaborate on that in case it wasn't clear enough: by "already cloaked" I meant a ship cloaking anywhere out of scanner range, and then flying up to you. In such situation you don't have the ship locked, your CDs won't track, you can't do crap with them against the cloaked ship.

if you're giving up on RP and balancing the game for PvP still, there's this little thing in all games called counter play.

As for cloaking out of scan range, well you never knew he was there, and only "fatties" will cloak out of scan range as they have spare fuel, snubs for example? Not a chance, every drop of that fuel is very precious to snub cloaker.

The first part of this quote is irrelevant enough to tell me you didn't get my point, the second part however has a little hint that you maybe did, so let's make this clear.

A "fatty", a transport with fuel enough for like 15-20 minutes begins to charge it's cloak somewhere 30k away from you. You don't know about it, but it knows about you. 60 seconds passes, and it cloaks, then flies up to you to troll you in local.

Whatever you fly, you won't ever catch him before or during charging up cloaking, no matter how fast you cruise, no matter how long it takes for them to charge up the cloak, no matter how well equipped you are with CDs. You won't be able to do anything at all against him teasing you in local chat if he is able to do so. That's why it was disabled.

And in no way I am against blocking usage of local chat durring cloak, but system chat blockade is kinda too much.
