Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Compared to you always die it is way better then the opposite and it would be garbage gameplay.

I am not saying don't remove local, I am saying make a counter to cloaks.

No they wouldn't really. Just warp to 2 or three points in the system and run a D-Scan then check the Sanctums, Havens and Belts. Can be done in three-five minutes.

Next Systems 0 threat to getting detected. At least with Local you know 8 or 9 guys are in the area. Without it you are chum with 0 chance of rescue and they warp off home free.

Making Cloak Ships appear on the D-Scan with an unknown ship tag is at least a start in a localess environment.

No it wouldnt. It would mean completely negating the purpose of removing local to begin with. The bear wants safety in essence. A way to determine whether anyone is there whatsoever so they can avoid the danger completely. That's what needs fixing. Guarenteed safety. It needs to go. A destroyer that can perhaps track a cloaked object with reasonably bad efficiency, not impossible, but not auto, thats acceptable. And with limits to its range. Not system wide but able to patrol a portion of a belt or similiar. Click a dscan and know whether the system is safe or not, no.

But you can not replace it with guaranteed destruction. Besides the fact that you are supposed to secure that space for a semblance of safety you can not make it impossible to defend yourself or escape or PvE down their will empty out and you need that to fund your personal / corp warfleet and help pay for sov.

I would rather have what we have now then no local and no change to Cov Ops.

As long as you aren't evading CONCORD.

Come to think of it, CONCORD should shout in local when they blow someone up.

Sure not completely but Horseshoes and Hand Grenades are enough.

You are not guaranteed a kill but you can pop most Sanctum and belt ratting Battleships before help in D-Scan Range can arrive.

Simple fact is that this would be a disaster compared to a current system most people are relatively happy with.

Bump for discussion and because a gui doesn't make camping any less tedious of an activity in a "hardcore" game. Click , shift click, bah. All trivial sh!t when at the core of the game stealth is an impossibility and death is completely voluntary.

Maybe next time!

Another boring day of EVE. Doesn't appear many are logged on after releasing a new expansion. I don't think its d3 either. I think its because the game is getting tired and the expansions are mediocre. This last one gave us new missile graphics and a fail corp mercy button. I know its free but you should pay us for sticking around in game so you can keep up the appearance x-thousand of players are playing. In reality most of them are afk in station.

Karn is irrelevant to the purpose. Killing him won't shut him up, its in his genetic makeup to talk crap while anonymous. He does on the forums what he hasn't been able to do in life. That being said local makes every single attempt at engagement a nauseating campfest. My corp wardecs for sport and local makes the process inane. Especially when the game is "hardcore pvp". Its fraudulent, honestly. It's anything but.

Each kill on my killboard over the last few months came from painstaking amounts of tedium. Unnecessary camping that is purely do to a braindead implementation of local chat. I want it changed as do many people in EVE. It is strangling the life out of the game.
