This needs to happen. The constant whining about AFK cloakers is hilarious.
Imagine no local, having to watch gates & dscan. There's already a space like that in Eve & it doesnt even have moon spew.

If it's hilarious then why do you want it to change?

You also posted this in the Features & Ideas Discussion area

You're looking for a response in that thread and to troll in this thread maybe?

you worded it absolutely horribly in the Features & Ideas Discussion thread though, so maybe just trolling in both threads

Haven't read that one, but based on his usual "suggestions" in the Wormholes forum, it was probably par for the course with his F&I post.

Agreed, it needs to happen, and I am confident it will.

Null sec has no right to automatic local data.

I think after it is removed, it could however be made possible for Sov holders to "buy" local data service, as facilitated by some kind of physical installation.

Bolded that part that makes 0.0 not wormhole space.

Its not NPC space either.

Why should you get the data for free?
Who is paying for it?

People that need local are just afraid of the dark. Having no local list of names in w-space works just fine. (Unless you're dumb enough, or new enough, to 'opt in' with a pubbie o7m8 in the window.)

Get rid of local in the entire game and balance it by pushing the dscan range up and adding a special 'Pilots' tab that will populate when you hit scan.

It'll never happen because the leet peeveepee'rs need their security blanket.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

The NPCs do.
They run the space.
They OWN the space.

Do you not understand the difference?
Or is your false sense of carebear entitlment blocking your vision?

npcs don't pay for anything, they're npcs. and it's irrelevant what they pay for, not that they pay for anything.

nobody pays for local.

Technically, in Sov space, the entity holding Sov is paying for that space.

If all things were ideal, one of two things would happen: either the Sov holder would set up dedicated equipment to maintain a communications presence in the system, such as communications relay satellites, POS mods or whatever, or the gates/stations/outposts themselves would report entry/exit/presence in the system.

In either case, if you do not communicate with the satellites/gates, you would not be able to participate in local communications. So for example, if you entered the system via wormhole connection, you wouldn't show up in Local but you also wouldn't see anyone in Local or be able to chat in Local either until you were on-grid with a gate, station, POS, or whatever communications device existed. In wormhole systems, there would be no Local communications at all.

CCP took the easy-to-code approach in favour of true realism. Can't fault them for that, no matter how much I dislike Local :)

Adding a separate Sov payed option of access to Local is not unreasonable.
The assumption that it is a deserved "entitled" mechanic, however, is completely false.

There should be no Local in Null, without the Sov holders explicitly paying for that privilege and service, whether thtough constructed and maintained infrastructure, or by outsourcing it to the gate authorities for an ISK charge.

Make no mistake, post expansion, when Null can fairly be said to be more profitable, it is time to start re-evaluating and adjusting exactly what it is that Null is taking for granted. Be prepared to pay for every single inch of it..

which they already do; sov bills.

so we're agreed local shouldn't be removed. good.
