Why we should even consider this ?
Because this will limit booting.

To often flying by "neighbour" space i see "pilots", that jump to pos after some neut shows on local, or a "friendly" guy begin to drop probes.

You say - those are not boots - if i manage to catch someone ... and this ship still fire to rats - for me it is boot.

How we can limit bots by boosting afk camping?

Two ways :
1. First create a module that will delay showing on local for some period of time, but only if you login in system.
So if i jump by the gate "my id" is read by gate devices and i show on local instantly.
But if i logout in a system, and login - with this module im not showing there for about 30 seconds ( as long as im at least 2AU from any installation)

2. Second create stealth combat probes - undetectable on system scanner if they are more than 1 AU from your location
, still not to OP them - they should have small scan strength and should be hard to scan something smaller than a battleship.
( i think about version designed only to scan T3 ships - by their uncommon signature)

Because getting carpal tunnel from clicking on dscan every 2 seconds is fun and enjoyable experience.

I am hearing that the reason we use local instead or actual ship's sensors, is that we need a rubber band to hold down the scan switch on our ship's control console.

I will now look on the market for such rubber bands... truly marvels of high tech wizardry....

(Not that ships should EVER have the option of setting a repeating scan on their own... noooo)

Install proper outposts, not just POS's.
Have full market access, even if only for a limited region.

I will race to the nearest WH and never come back if those are placed in them.
