i think it would be very nice to add audible tones when people enter and leave system, obviously you could turn this on or off but I think it would help me to be more aware and I think if this was a RL then that would be a function available..

Please add it ccp :P

Sure, why not give the all seeing eye of local even more power.

simply so Wilko here can pay even less attention to what his alt is doing.

Thats a butt hurt argument,. think about it, this would not change to much because people would end up switching it off but for me it would be very usefull and as I say i think it would be there if this was real...

no people wouldn't turn it off, it would be a ridiculously overpowered tool, that would make any ratter / miner in low or null practically invulnerable.
it's bad enough now trying to get into a system find and tackle someone before they cloak/safe/dock.

Not trolling just suggesting a new feature that would improve the game in my opinion.

Try posting it in F&I instead, then.

Also, no, giving the inattentive even more automated tools to keep themselves safe is not an improvement. Maybe if we add the alteration that it's not the receiver that decides whether the alarm will go off or not, but the sender…

…i.e. turn it into a terror weapon, not an intel tool. Twisted

I'm not in favor of anything that helps people "play" while watching Youtube. This is the wrong forum anyway. This belongs in 'features and ideas'.

There was something that did this before. It was deemed Illegal.

And I do agree that Local is not OP yet. The only people who get caught are idiotic ratters.(I'm looking at you Admiral Squad (Not all of you of course))

A PvPer will be watching it anyway, no matter where he is.(I still have hawk eyes on it while in a Wormhole.) A Ratter will not even look at it, just yesterday I got into a system and almost instantly found a Ratting Carrier. I spent 20 minutes watching him, because he didn't pay attention. to me. I was sitting on grid, and was uncloaked.

A Sound Notification is taking it too far though. If it ever gets so far, you better be ready to have your ears bleeding if somebody bridges 200 people on your head.

If this was real,
the last thing that'd be there was a noise hearable by everybody as soon as somebody enters a system.

Please use your brain before posting, you make yourself sound like a carebear.

Only if, when you are in a mining vessel, it sounds exactly like a World War 2 air raid siren and your volume automatcially maxes out whenever it is activated. Smile

Though it doesn't have an audiable sound to it, what you can do is select all players in local and when someone new comes in they won't be highlighted and if someone leaves and returns they will not be highlighted.
