Tracking a target? Just join the local for every system he might have jumped into. No more having to actually LOOK for a pilot, you've just been made omnipresent!

Except, he can also join every system's local making him omnipresent as well meaning local is useless. In anycase I'm posting in a troll thread.

So your "solution" is to increase server load, and simultaneously increase (by way of checking other systems) and decrease (by projecting "false positives" in other locals) intel gathering ability.

So you solve nothing, and increase server loadRoll.

And he can join all the systems in a 20 jump radius to hide his movement. Solution sounds good to me.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.

Better yet, move all local chat to constellation chat and replace local chat with delayed grid wide chat.

Why all these convoluted ideas?

Just remove local, and improve D-Scan so that it is no longer like something one would see in a game from 1989. With decent (but still PLAYER-SKILL BASED D-Scan) we would no longer need local. And improving (or, gasp, integrating!) probing into D-Scan UI, would improve it even more. Then we can do away with the jumpgate mechanic as well, as finding fights will no longer be so dependent on gate camping. Etc., etc.

The great sandbox that EvE is .... already provides a solution for those that do not like local.

MOVE to WH space .... then you never have to see local again.

Never enter null, low or empire space and you get all that you have ever asked for.

If you do move to WH space please send me a mail so I can come AFK cloak.

So wait... You want to create an option that would allow jita spammers to spam every local in the game? ShockedShockedShocked

I don't think you have really thought through this idea.

Also: Jita spam. Jita spam EVERYWHERE.

Keep local. Put the local members list on a delay in nullsec. No need to reinvent the wheel, just give it a timer.

The real solution is to replace all in-game chat with a single TeamSpeak server.
