Adding an audio alert dependent on standing is desperately needed. Certain conditions like:

"if other than +standings = custom wave file 4"

This will help in player customization UI and help promote fights.

There used to be a program that did this via logserver, and if the website for it is to be believed CCP said it was kosher, however they changed it so logserver wouldn't work like that anymore, rendering the program useless.

Everyone who actually disagrees with the OP is trying to fight the symptom and not the problem.

we already had this as a OOG tool (called BACON), CCP changed the logserver output to break it because they obviously don't want us to have that functionality.

Fixed.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Local Chat is a delicate balance between needing to make people feel safe enough to undock and do stuff, but on the other hand not being SO overtly safe that hunter doesn't occasionally catch someone that is distracted and doesn't notice the non-blue show up.

I do not understand the point you are trying to make.

The symptom is that sometimes people are distracted, and don't notice the non-blue show up in local. This is, working as designed.

From the pray point of view, there is a problem that they don't notice the non-blue.

From the predator point of view the fact he shows up in local at all is the problem.


In reality, neither of these is a problem They combine to ensure there is activity (people feel safe to undock) while still giving the hunter an occasional kill (pray is distracted and doesn't notice the non-blue).

Without local, no targets to sneak up on.

With a better local, hunters get even more frustrated, less boom, less demand for ships and fittings.

We already have that, it happens when people FRAPS fights and then put some dubstep over the top before uploading it to youtube. P

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Thread is now for the promotion of DubStep Lazers to bring back Amarr supremacy.

Enemy fleets will leave the field just to save their ears. Also playing EVE without sound after this patch crashes the game and deletes boot.ini
