Shooting out some ideas for lot of stuff since CCP is getting closer to work on other bigger parts of the game! I think it's time I would like to explain some feedback on these important changes.

Local-Chat for Intel
Should remain as chatting only! or Willing to give up their information to be seen by local's. The local chat for Intel needs to be moved to the D-Scan! As no one has perfect Intel. The local chat should be placed on delay mode like worm hole space. If anyone would like to talk in these local channels they can.

"The D-Scan "Active and Not Active"
To move or not to move. The D-scan should be able to scan the whole system for one. One should take longer and the other one. The D-Scan which tracks not moving objects should take about 300 sec's to load up the system of none moving objects. It would show the objects but who owns it and more would have to fly to it and find out! Which would make scanning down objects in local needed! Just like when something moves in space makes it easier to track down. The important D-SCAN WHICH TRACKS MOVING OBJECTS! This D-Scan only takes secs to show up as moving object! When object warps and or jumps in space it shows up in secs. It should list object as unknown, unless you both have traded one other key code information. You can set this as corp or individual settings. When the info box pops open it will flash red or blue or just show object moving in space. With more objects being able to be placed in space. I'm sure this idea should be added on too. Objects like scanning down cloakers in systems which aren't active and these who are active! The whole point of this making it both harder and easier to find objects in space!

The Overview
The filtering options is which makes the overview great! But it's time we just make it EASIER TO USE! You really don't need all these complex filers to play the game and find stuff in your overview.

What's your stand's on afk cloakys and/or cynos?
I really like you idea except the d-scan part and the local part
edit
And the overview part

I suggest you to not talk about module modifications in any form.
And the star gate thing.
Don't talk about it unless it got something to do with
Player owned stargate. But don't touch the existing one's

Local Chat for Intel: Local is one of many tools you can use for Intel. I don't know what you're complaining about but I don't see what it needs to be changed.

D-Scan: D-scan already tracks moving objects and should have a range limit. 14.3au means you can inhabit a wormhole with several other people and not become aware until you crossed into the same side. 300 seconds to scan a system is embarrassing when a good scout pilot can scan all the gates in less than 20 seconds, so I also don't see what benefit these changes are bringing. Being able to scan cloaked ships makes the cloak totally useless, I don't see the benefit in changing that. It sounds like you don't use d-scan properly mate

No comment on overviews.

No comment on hacking ships (EWAR exists man, what did you expect that to do on top of what we already have?)

If you do not like local channels the go live in a worm hole somewhere. For those who live in high and many low residents local is the only intel tool they will ever have, for that reason alone it needs to stay in place and have players show up in it instantly upon jumping into a system. Nul sec we could discuss some form of structure that provides the local chat capability.

Your entire D-SScan idea needs to be placed onto the nearest trash bin.
But since you posted it here are just a few of my problems with it.

300 seconds ( 5 minutes ) for a scan of anything are you serious?

How do you define stationary?

At what point does a ship sitting in space not moving transition from the moving object part of the system to the not moving part of the system?

If someone can sit in space and become a stationary object you have just handed them a huge advantage, please explain how and why this is good for the game as a whole ( not you personally )

Why would you want to scan an entire system for non-moving objects when you can consult maps to find the information in less than 5 minutes?

What is this "key code" you need to trade to be able to identify what something actually is?
Where do these "key codes" some from?
Say I have a "key code" for a friends Rattlesnake, does that "key code" only allow me to identify my friends rattle, or all rattles in the system?

That is what made EVE bad in the first place. When I started you could talk for the people in system about everything, yes even in lowsec and nullsec.

Today we have the band of developers paranoia that everyone is a cyno alt, a blobb alt, an alt of a cyno alt, an alt of a afk cloaky of an alt of a cyno alt or their mommies alt.

Everyone is alt and nobody talks to anyone anymore.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

Maybe eve is the wrong game for you.
Try out how chat roulette works out for you.
Pvp with diks out.

Or maybe people still talk to each other but they only go silent because they don't like your mimimi attitude.

You also could check out high sec and have a nice conversation in jita.

You could actually start the convo "hey dude that just came in my system with a cloaky what are you up to? Want to set up a trap for the next guy coming in?"

That's a gross exaggeration of a problem I've never had. If you're in wormhole space, lowsec or nullsec I'd expect anybody that isn't blue to be hunting you, jovial conversations in local never happened between gate campers and their prey.
