Good time of day, dear Developers.
There is a proposal. It is interesting to know, is it possible in the near future change a few settings in the lists of participants of local chat in the main and other chat in principle, too?
Interested in the question of such a plan: I or my Corporation (Alliance) personalize the relationship with the other pilots/corporate/alliances, as well as there are still pilots criminals (suspects, etc.) in a locale can be seen on the thumbnails. But here are such systems, where locale is so large that the view of the entire channel is very, very long time. So here is the essence of the proposal: be added if in consequence the ability to manually set the priority display of the pilots in the locale icons, and not just alphabetically, as in the present time?
Thank you for the game and their work, and the modernization of the game in the future. With respect, the pilot world of EVE Online.

No. Local intel doesn't need a buff.

Why not? If we have now this option (listed channel for finding enemy or minus), we may having the option for sort this information.
It's simply for perceiving.

Because local already gives it's intel way too easily. The only reason we have standings in local, was due to an illegal client adaptation done years ago by some large alliances. CCP found it easier, to simply give the option to everyone.

The fact you have to scroll a little for your info, is not a reason to boost it's intel system.

I don't think so. I think this idea can have a right for life and most people perceive it as good.

You should see all the ideas that have been posted on how to REMOVE local, so I will not support an idea that will buff it instead.

downvote this idea, bad idea is bad.

I think absolutely its really is about time that you give people the options they need for all chat channels.. however only if local is an optional channel to join would i support this Big smile

I think local is a very delicate balance.

Too safe, not enough boom.

Not safe enough, fewer players (carebear types for sure) undock so not enough boom.



I think it is a fairly good balance right now. As much, as a carebear myself, it would benefit me directly to have local buffed, I realize that for the overall game, that would be bad.

The result of this, of course, would be to move every null bear back to high sec. Why do you want null to be as empty and low and wh?

But in wh its mechanic of local. In wh local empty until someone writes something.

However, I support the idea that either the local is with all the settings, or it everywhere as in wh

I would seriously like to hear the logic of how "changing the order of a bunch of names" is a "buff", unless you're implying that suddenly entire gangs of pirates will start naming themselves Z_Abraham, Z_Killer etc etc just so they can gain an extra 1 second worth of time hiding at the bottom of a list.

I could grab one of my spare 22" Monitors, add it to my PC setup, flip it upright and suddenly "hack" myself a Local list that is suddenly TWICE the height of any other player in the game, Even better, I'll tell Windows to "add" that second monitor directly above my first one to get a list that fits everyone, suddenly gaining what you call "a buff". Am I suddenly cheating because I can do what you guys can't?

Your statement is ridiculous. It's a text list. CCP could just add a damn button that when pressed simply filters out _everyone_ that you have no specific setting against, ie NEUTRALS, and that simple change would help immensely.

We can do all that type of filtering in the Overview with space objects, why not add a couple of simple options to players lists? Are we not flying super duper advanced spaceships? Having a scrollable local like we have feels like the old days of scrolling through your contacts on those crappy small screen mobiles.

I apparently have no idea what I'm doing.
