EVE General Discussion

What on earth is this? Fairly sure EVE doesn't have an inactivity timer so no idea what your talking about......well i guess the timer would be when DT comes and you get logged out automatically.

I never said they were.

if you want to fix the problem, remove local chat as an lintel tool. Then only active fleets are hostile to you.

we already know wormholespace is more awesome than 0.0 It feels more like a 0.0 system should. Maybe -0.5 and below truesec should be no local?

Without local this whole argument would end. Two birds with one stone.

Refer to the first question in my post.

I'd say remove all local for all 0.0 except the ones that have NPC stations. Then add an 'entry tracker' POS-module for upgraded sov, that makes local show everybody. It should requiring so much CPU and grid it basically needs it's own large POS, leaving almost nothing for defenses. Maybe even requiring it's own fuel supply to make it require enough money and attention for even big alliances to carefully consider where to put them up and where not.

'Perfect intelligence'-local (benefiting defenders more then attackers) should be balanced by being expensive, logistic-intensive and vulnerable.

I like it. A deployable you'd need to online near each gate, maybe? When someone jumps through the gate they get a little message in their local chat telling them they've been booked in (and they appear on the local memberlist).

Then, if you arrive by alternate means (a covert cyno!) you aren't booked by the entry registers and don't show unless you fly near a gate.

here's your answer,,, remove local,, if your afk cloaked without local it's usless,, see this post >>>>> >>>CLICK ME<<<

I doubt when CCP buffed blasters, they were thinking, Lets slaughter Hulks and Mackinaws in the tens of thousands. Yet that's really the only thing that came out of the Blaster Buff.

If CCp nerf AFK cloaking, they won't put much thought in to ATK cloakers.

..and other people that live in Null keep fighting to keep it. hmm..

On the other hand, something that satisfies both parties like mentioned above seems a good compromise. However, req. some large POS to online it is a bit rediculous.

I suggest it be incorporated into Sov mechanics and TCU as an upgrade. It sinks ISK initially, but until Sov has to be rebuilt there is no further need for the expense.

I'd also suggest the implementation of a module which can be mounted mid or high on a ship, or maybe as a Rig, which allows certain ships to bypass the local channel. Cov Ops specifically obviously, including Black Ops and Cloaky Haulers, (and CovOps T3s too I suppose).

Then all you need is some means of decloaking or detecting cloaking vessels. Obviously, any vessel fit with a counter local module would be boosted against detection, and CovOps Cloaks would be harder to detect than Improved Cloaks, etc..

Make the game more interesting and varied. Sounds like a good plan to me.

On the other hand, there are many who would disagree with even the ability to detect the presence of a cloaked vessel in a system with no local. Some because it requires :effort: and others because they want to be invisible and invulnerable. While it is nice to be invulnerable once in awhile, I'm of the opinion if you want to spend the day in game afk, you should sit in a station or risk your ship.
