CCP has already claimed local is going to be replaced by another kind of function, though I haven't read anything about it in a year or more. Local as we know it is going away, but what replaces it will probably have some of the same functions. This might have gotten scrapped when Walking in Stations was abandoned, though.

As for breaking the immersion, there's no immersion in this game to speak of.

I wouldn't care about losing local chat, that's for sure. Nothing more annoying in the game. I don't think getting rid of local is the solution to a lot of problems, though. It will hurt PVP as much as it helps. It's already hard enough to find fights, especially with null sec and low sec empty most of the time.

Of course, OP has taken the position that he knows best and certainly knows more than all the rest of us put together. That makes him perfect for Eve.

Alienation is lame. I said nothing of the sort but i'm not going to accept inane contentless posts as a counter to mechanics problems that can be easily pointed out and shown to be flawed.

This post shows you have no clue about wormholes.

Incoming wormholes can come at any moment and you cant find them until someone opens them first to your system

uh ... im sorry to burst your bubble but neither was WoS "abandoned" nor will local go away. Ever. In fact, before CCP does this they might as well shut down the servers. Walking on stations IS ALREADY HERE if you havent noticed it, the extension which enables players to actually meet each other is an absurdly complex task, thats why we dont see any progress - you can be assured that a whole (sub-)team works on it every day, software development is much more complex than i can describe.

No it doesn't. Roaming gangs and pirates have to find the miners/plexers/etc. just as well as the miners/plexers/etc. have to be on active lookout for the gangs and such.

FFS this is how it happens in wormholes and it really just does not give the "aggressor" an advantage at all...

Bullshit.

We have no control over the exits until we know they exist. Also, all wormholes have some sort of static that almost always invariably connects to another system with hostiles, and they are up 24/7.

You've seen corporations completely annihilate WH dwellers? what, the 3 man corps that sets up a pos and just makes oodles of isk for a while and then abandon it? Good for them, that is SUCH a difficult task (sarcasm).

Has less hostile traffic. Lmao. My corp was just raided a weeks ago while running C5 sites when a wormhole popped open in the middle of us running it, and a hostile corp came in and completely destroyed our fleet, with cap ships included. We've done the same sort to other corps too. Your understanding of WH's is so lacking.

Simple Fix. Remove local and overhaul the scanner into something that resembles radar in an actual spaceship. The scanner is about the only thing in EVE that has not been changed much if at all since release in 05. No local but if I open up my scanner (and yes have it autoscan) ships will appear with the same color tagging system thats already in place for local. This alone adds so much more immersion to EVE imho.

Theres not alot of work involved in intel with this game which is why it starts to seem so small so fast.

This will also overload the servers with scan-requests, making EvE yet again even more of an lagfest.

They said having actual missiles in game would lag it out as well but they figured a way to overcome. Where theres a will theres a way. "We have the technology."

you sir haven't a ******* clue about anything the devs are doing, there is a very small team working on it, working hmmm, more like investigating the idea of WoS, listen till i clue you in on something, my mate has just finished college, his chosen profession is game development, for his final year they had to produce a game, within 6 months with a team of 8 people,, yes bro,, 8 people, they had a working game, yes hard to believe isnt it, a motivated team of just 8 people designed animated, sound produced, beta tested and hell, got a working title online. (i can't go into detail because they intend to now sell the tittle to another software development house)

if CCP wanted WoS they'd have it years ago, it is just not at the top of their to do list, CQ was a half arsed effort to shut people like you the **** up, very much a ,, hey here ,, you can walk now, now stfu kinda response to people who don't get, that EVE is a FiS game with the potential of becoming a both world enviroment game, but guess what numb nuts, almost 10 years have passed since EVE was born kicking and screaming into the gaming world, the closet you got to WoS is a ******* weak stuck in CQ effort.

as far as your, EVE will die if CCP statement if CCP never gives you WoS, here's my evidence, 10 years running numb nuts, yes surprise surprise, the game is still here. you are right on one point you made, well half right Blink software development is complex, so complex you haven't a clue where to begin describing it.

btw, sorry to burst your bubble Roll

hey hey hold the phone !

Hermaphrodite. derived from the Greek Hermaphroditos a combination of the names of the gods Hermes (male) and Aphrodite (female) Recently, the word intersex has come into preferred usage for humans, i do hope you are human Roll since the word hermaphrodite is considered to be misleading and stigmatizing, as well as "scientifically specious and clinically problematic.
still i give you a +1, was a funny shite moment. Lol

so yea, if you grew balls that would make you intersexual. tehre fixed it for you,, and gave you +1. and liked Lol

I prefer the term... Futanari... also more pleasing, in which case, Incarna WIS better have staircases and some kitten hats for the NEX store.

no need to read this thread its going to be full of null bears, telling you how bad you are at eve.

or

its going to be full of null bears telling you thats a GREAT idea as soon as they get something JUST AS GOOD to replace local.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.
