+1 and a bump. Indeed i need new local mechanics which will make low/null systems more "appropriately dangerous" environment, just as it was intended from the start. OP has some nice ideas and i will be happy to see them implemented

This will provide a very limited amount of new game play for an extreme amount of complication.

According ot OP active scans are used to find people but they also alert everyone in system that some one is scanning. PvE pilots will still dock up.

Consentual PvP pilots will have to work harder to find their fights.

Fleets will just use more scouts to gather information.

This will induce clutter and complicate things without changing any essential game mechanic.

I have yet to hear an idea about local, etc., that will significantly change game play without hampering all parties involved.

I don't think you actually read this thread.

There is a lot more to it than active scans.

PvE still takes place in locations determined by the spawning of dedspace pockets anyway...

I am actually having a hard time figuring out how you came to your conclusions at all...

When you say Space terrain do you mean like hiding inside a hollow asteroid, parking your ship on the other side of a planet, special radiation belt around a planet that hinders sensors? Stuff that can help boost or hinder ships in space to the point that makes the game much more strategic in battlefield?

I like the ideas and vision for EVE you present. Practically speaking though what would you suggest CCP do that doesn't take several years for them to deliver?


How to do it in a nutshell:

1. Put Local in Delayed Mode.



With all of this idea, what's the point of putting local in delayed mode?

Why not just remove local entirely as an information source and restrict it to a Comms channel? That's what it should be anyway. No faces, no names, just anonymous transmissions.

Seriously filled with good ideas.

The concept of seeing the universe using sensors, combined with maps of systems and rumors about who was flying around...

Isn't that the game we signed on for?
