face this, recieve notifications unclicked, you need to get them runners on again and for the last time troll, jog on.

Just a bump to stir the pot

Or just derp back to hisec to make money there instead, for less effort.

im behind this all the way, tho they would likely need to increese the ways to find people, especialy cloakys. or just put a local count but no names or faces

Also to the people who say no local makes bombers 100% safe, arnt they already?

I'm a fan of removing local, but I'm also a fan of Wh's. the problem is that in WH's you have some controlling factors other then local to control who is inside your space, and in normal space there is no mechanic to limit the flow of people in and out of a system. it works for WH space but i cringe to see the result it bring in low and null except rampart destruction and misery followed by lots of unsubscribing because someones pve ship got poped for the 5th time and they can no longer afford to pvp. you would need a scanner alt pinging the system every 5 seconds with Deepspace scanner probe while you do stuff and gtfo when you hit a new ship sig.

I agree with getting rid of local as long as the rest of the UI gets overhauled too. Why do we even use menus while flying? How about a real heads up display complete with the scanner active at all times showing any ships that are in system. You wouldn't know what kind of ships or who's flying them but just the traffic. And also the traffic would not be updated but be about a minute behind i.e. every time the scanner cycles and makes another tick on the system.

The honor and civility of the great Goon Nation is legendary good sir. Fine upstanding gentlemen you guys are. A toast to Afgoonistan. God shed his grace on thee.

Basically removing local, or giving ANY buff to cloakers will upset the already unbalanced risk v reward in eve.

The most you can make in null for an average pilot in an average alliance is running anoms, in either an extremely pimped battleship or carrier, you can make as much as 120m an hour.

Factors that make 120m an hour almost unachievable in nullsec are

1. Afk cloakers (we cant run anoms because there is a very real chance of them hot dropping anyone running anoms)
they can cause downtime for days at a time
2. roving gangs (not as unlikely and usually only a minor problem, very hard for them to catch someone)
3.CTA and having to defend our own space (atleast a few times a week)

Nullsec for the average pilot in an average alliance is profitable but only marginally when compared to the safety of hisec mining, incursions and missioning.


SO ANY CHANGE that makes ganking and catching nullsec pilots any easier, would simply lead to more nullsec pilots leaving nullsec. I personally was a nullsec pilot until recently I started running incursions and I love doing them. Incredibly easy, lots of isk and virtually no risk..



So unless nullsec gets alot more appealing I wont be going back, and if the rewards get boosted in nullsec then the market will be inflated by huge alliances who have systems so locked down that they are virtually hi sec systems.
