Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I am a big fan of having custom settings on the overview... as it provides key abilities for intel and combat.

the other really great tool in eve for intel is local...

in some place local can be extremely cluttered here's looking at you jita... in others local is key to knowing if neutrals or negatives have come into the system...

what I propose is having the ability to select what will show up in local. by show up I mean thier character... by not showing up I mean they will become delayed until they talk in local.

that way if i am in Jita I can set Local to show only war targets... or if i am in a highly populated missioning system i can do the same... or if i am ratting in 0.0 in a high density system Ill know immediately if a negative came in the system.

have the custom local setting setups next to the open channel window button on the local hud... (much like they look for ovierview)

a-A- * 0.0 ( ) [JITA] [mission] [0.0} (26) (0)}

this does not make local more powerful it simply makes it customizable.

its a quality of life improvement and IMO would be welcome by anyone who would want to use the feature... if you dont like it then you do not have to use it...

but like overview settings having tabs... i think once people start to use they would wonder how they got along before it...

its simply allowing the player to custom people for delayed local based on standings.

it gives you no new information that you did not have before... it just removes the tedium...

not more powerful more reliable. it makes local more redundant... having by design a system where you constantly have to pull a slide bar up and down to see if that new local is negative heck at a certain point it becomes incoherent and local looses all intel value... i would argue its just better design and allows it to scale.

Intel in local as it stand works really powerful in low density systems but becomes useless in high density systems... ccp is designing new systems to increase density in places like 0.0 it only makes sense design wise to make in game tools that scale with said design goals...

Also, overpowered intel tools already exist.

Hmmm, almost sounds like local is a bad game mechanic and shouldn't be an intel tool at all... to me at least. Just to me, as always.




AGREED! hah! If anything..... IF ANYTHING local should be removed in favor of a completely new, and prefereably non-spreadsheet way of seeing who/what is in space around us.... wouldn't THAT be great?? No? Just me who wishes the hunting game wasn't played in D-scan and local (literally two itemized lists)??
