Great PVP generator:

0.5 systems and below have no player listing in local. You can still see the real time number of players in any given system but, unless they say something in local, their name would not appear. Currently it's like popping into a room and having your name thrown up on a flashy billboard. Don't say wormholes either because they are empty besides ratting fleets and your once a week rare PvP fleets. That's only if your willing to scan 3+ hours every day that week.

There's no functional law enforcement in Lowsec, why the hell would they bother maintaining an identification broadcast setup rather than simply a tally of present pilots?

Add this and some kind of ultra-expensive combat probe that doesn't show up on D-scan and maybe we'll see some kind of pvp that doesn't involve dicking about on a gate while people decide if they've got the blob to handle the blob on the other side.

How about an ultra-expensive boat that doesn't show up on D-scan then? This reeks of "I want more PvP on my terms" instead of actually being good for the whole.

Given the way the numbers in this game work, I'm not sure PvP in EVE IS anything more than wondering if you can handle the bigger blob.

Also, if you're talking about sov space, why wouldn't everyone install logs and cameras and what not in their systems? Would this simply lead to PvPers having to stand around and do guard duty to keep track of who is where? I think Local chat is fine how it is.

No functioning law enforcement? Your sec status might want to have a word with you. Empires still have full control over the gates in both High sec and Low sec, and these gates are what enables them to detect your foolish acts of violence and punish it accordingly. We can have this for Null sec, but High sec and Low sec still have a properly working infrastructure to facilitate this very basic info to anyone.

I forgot to add that part. Making local player listing a commodity through surveillance modules, depots, and system upgrades could expand on the idea.

Or snitch-device for short.

But for a no local in Empire I suggest you go to w-space and be alone there. Gee.. You know in the middle-ages of EVE people used to talk to each other and helping them out.

Further to that, I think it should only be available in low sec/null by deploying a mobile structure that needs regular and expensive refuelling of sorts.

It's been a while since this thread has been posted. It also has the new idea of leaving just the number of players visible. It's just a good way to stir things up and open many tactics that are currently ineffective for new players and old players alike.

One reason I suggested no local listing in 0.5. It would take a lot of the highsec wardec action based in trade hubs and move it to border/pve systems. That would chain into more people roaming low/null sec.

Simply because it's been a few days since someone posted a new 'nerf local' thread does not make it okay to post another. Post in one of the current open threads, or if they're all locked and you imagine you have something original to add, petition to get a locked thread reopened.

Also, the 'leaving just the number of players visible' thing is not new. You would know this had you bothered to utilize the search function and read the old threads before shiptoasting this 'new' idea again.

The only thing that I can think of when I read one of these threads is that the OP wants easy kills from ratting/industrial characters. If you're having a hard time blowing them up when you arrive in your solo interceptor you might try something like performing intel to see where their POS is, clearing their defensive bubbles ahead of time, and warping your dictors directly to thier station/pos.

Ratters and industrial players already have enough crap to deal with, so deal with that fact that we can see your standings in local.

Edit: How about as a compromise they just make bubbles generate kill-mails. That way people will actually shoot them instead of just letting them sit there forever.

To the nice idea for creating probes/ships which can´t be seen on d-scan. There is a deployable structure called mobile scan inhibitor use it and the d-scanning is over. -1 and -1 for repost a removing local threat without an good argument.
