Player Features and Ideas Discussion

This sounds interesting I have to say.

Lets see...
there are corporation chats, intel channels, help channels, newbie channels etc etc... teamspeak, mumble, scype etc etc... msn, icq, irc etc etc... oh yeah evemail, email, forums and so on. Choose one.

And tbh... If local is the only way to tell what your up against and you can't gather intel by any other means then it's realy limited, boring and just too easy. What I gather form almost all the threats on the forums are that the game is not supose to be easy and it seems to me that local makes the game easy for you. Yes you might say that claoking will be effected and everything else. So what, I can think of numberous ways how it would actualy improve claoking games and other spy stuff.

I like the OPs post and it also would bring a new way to play the game cause you would need to think more about what your going to do.

Plus saying theres no where to talk if local is removed... wth. There are countless of ways to communicate and most alliances tell their members to avoid talking on local in null. Plus this would also kill that stupid spam on jita :P

So +1 for new ways to play the game and removing local.

CCP please add your comments on these sometimes.

And how would this make nullsec enticing for those who are keeping their isk-making alts in hisec with the current mechanics? And why would people not just move their iskmaking alt to WHs proper instead?

There have been a number of good suggestions along these lines and I am in agreement with the overall themes of all of them.

For the purposes of discussion, I can say that the overarching themes most often expressed include:

• Addition of active player controlled scanners for gathering intel
• Addition of passive scanners for gathering intel
• Addition of sensor skills and modules that affect the effectiveness of active and passive sensors
• Addition of skills and modules that affect your ship's likelihood of being sensed.
• Removal of the local list as a means of gathering intel
• Local is kept in the form that it exists in wormholes, namely that it is elective

Everything else that is discussed is either
A: A troll
B: A hater who just says "no" and provides no points for discussion
or
C: various forms of implementation

I support every aspect of the changes listed.

5. Wonder why there's nobody around.

"I can fly a recon, therefore I'm entitled to a ratting tengu killmail every 15 minutes, regardless of skill or effort"

OP, when the ratters all leave for highsec L4s and all that is left are the occasional tech moon towers and the fleets sent to fight over them, who will you shoot?

What is it then? You just want to go that final step CCP hasn't already taken to ruin nullsec?

Unsubstantiated nonsense.

It works great in W-space. Yet somehow it can't work in N-space? That is unsubstantiated nonsense.

I edited it to say Nerf local to be like WH local. You don't appear unless you're talking. Once you talk though, you're up.
