Player Features and Ideas Discussion

....Less free intel could perhaps increase the occurance of sporadic fights not just based on direct counters or n+1 fleet members (this also occurs to some degree in wormhomles without local due to excesive scouting tho). The added risk to null and lowsec could perhaps also stop the unhealthy (perhaps subjective) mass injection of faction stuff, minerals and isk to the market.

Anyways, death to local chat!

So I have been reading for years about how some people want to get rid of the Local Chat and others insist it's needed.

There seems to me to be a reasonable compromise.

In High Sec Local would act as it always has with no option to opt out.

In Low Sec and Null Sec you would have the option of closing local. In the event you close it, you would no longer appear in local yourself, however you would also not have the benefit of seeing who else is in local with you.

In wormhole space there would be no change.

If this were to be implemented there would need to be some option of pre-selecting your status for local so that you would not have to select it each time you were changing region types.
