Huh - I believe in free choice. Twisted

CCP allow all the hard core nerf drunk players the ability to close local permanently. Then the folks who don't want local can have it gone and the folks who want can have it available.

That said, he's right, eve needs to get rid of local. even if it's only in -0.5 to -1.0 space. Wormhole PvP have proofs that local isn't needed and infact more interest because of it.

2nd of all, blacks ops battleships would finally have a role.



Oh soooooo, why aren't all the pvpers going to WHs? This simple statement "Interdiction Nullifies" your argument Blink


Becuase the logistics of wormholes are hell. Trying to live in one is a nightmare. Living in 0.0 is easier, you can set destination to move there. Wormholes are hard to fly between. Local only breaks the game, why is the chat window a intel tool in lawless space, it makes no sense.

I'm all for a module that adds people into local chat when they warp in via gate. But waroing into a system with say, a Black ops battleship, is pointless you popup on local chat.

it's almost like the lack of local in wormholes is balanced by the fact that they're a little more difficult to reach than k-space nullsec

It is a popular subject, local makes all kinds of things in the game a joke.

Removing/rebalancing Tech moons is "essential to the long term survival of eve"

However, as for this thread, why the hell do my hide lists keep getting reset -.-

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

while we're at it,

remove static belts, remove 100% scan signatures and require everything in nullsec to be probed out, along with gates which "disappear" and are recreated elsewhere

or you can just go to wormholes

D-scan is easy.

It's obvious we should have to compare images of the local star field to see if something is moving out there.

Remove local add a sovernity structure that "pings" the system like sonar all enemy's then show up on local. Make the "sonar" structure have a cycle time creating gaps in intel allowing covert ops ships to position themselfs in system to cloak up d-scan will allow players to fill in the gaps between sonar pulses

Or make anyone undocked or uncloaked in system show in local when the "sonar" structure pings the system giving BOTH sides a idea of what's in system

I don't think this is killing the game. I am however humored by the fact that the same people who says to miners, "oh, this game is haaaaard, niggaaa, it is haaaard, braaaaah" seems to want local.

I believe that it's completely ludicrous and that seeing people in local should either a) be a result of the ship-type (Heron or Buzzard, for example) or b) directly associated with scanning skills or scanning itself.

This game is haaaard, braaaah. Local is simply a tool which makes EVE not-haaard-braaaaah. God, you guys might as well play WoW. Here in EVE we're hardcore. So hardcore we are. Indeed, for it is haaaard, braaaah.

No local makes playing 13214% more fun & exciting, and removes a lot of ridiculous faggotry and cowardry, that is true. Flying in empire feels rather lame.

However it's relatively cool in it's social aspect, it creates a feeling of belonging to somewhere when you get to know the locals. It increases social interaction between players.

It's not a simple matter for sure.

Replace local with constellation chat in Null.

Lore wise it would be because system-channels are too expensive to run for the sparsely-populated space.

In effect it would allow you to know when your slightly in danger, in a very nondescript way. For more specific intel the players would have to provide it.
