Can we get an option on the chat window that excludes Dust players from chat. No offense to the guys or anything but not only do I not need to see them in the list of chat players all at once, but the chatter in local is bad enough sometimes without an additional god knows how many players filling it up with their what not.

It's a chat channel. Seeing the list of those who can respond is the whole point of the the player list being displayed.

Noone said you had to pay attention to them.

Have you even *looked* at chat settings in the last month?

poor little person.. whileing cause you can no longer fully use local to get a good guesstimate of whos in system (in a ship)..

i will always say this.. remove local (with exception of dust stageing systems [ see incursion chat mechanics]) and just use constalation chat + Dscan (hopfully Dscan will be improved a bit)

Dscan is not an acceptable stand-alone intel tool...... I'm all for creating an actual intel system to replace using local chat as an intel system, but I'm not ok getting carpel tunnel in doing so!!!

You know how confusing Local Chat gets when two-thirds of the players in it are blocked?

This is why this is a bad idea.

If you don't like it, just ignore Local. Dustwalkers have the same rights to talk in Local as we do.
