You guys all saw the post where I said we'd likely deal with local before addressing the rest of this stuff, right?
Thing is most of us here had more or less the same impression from your previous post on this subject, that being that you werenÆt too concerned with local as an immediate problem that stands in the way of your 0.0 intel plans. Even in this clarification you donÆt say you will deal with local, but only that youÆd likely deal with it. I think you can see why you are getting this kind of reaction.
As MagÆs says above, players consider immediate local a much larger issue than you seem to, the one that has absolute influence on intel collection. Anything that happens to intel after collection is secondary, and should probably be the function of the tool that replaces the current local anyway.
Additionally, strategic intel analysis and sharing is currently done by web-based player-made tools, and arguably this is the best way to do it since you canÆt have that kind of customizability in-game.
What we're trying to do right now is develop a long-term roadmap, and the reason we're talking to players a lot is that we want to be sure you're all on board with what we're planning. The reason I'm not worried about local in this context is that it's a no-brainer that we need to do something, and "doing something about local" is assumed to have the support of the community provided it's something good. What we're more concerned about right now is what our next step should be after that, because we don't want "change local" to be the only thing about intel on our long-term plan.
if you do something about local, i absolve you of your $70 monocle, until you make ships available for $... i jest, but at least step 1 is clear, great job listening to the posters
a huge part of changing the intel system is making sure that ship attributes matter i9n terms of intellience, as of right now other than the ability to cloak and being nimble, there is no ship attribute that matters for gathering intelligence, which compared to how deep is in other areas, is down right silly. so step 2... revamp the scanner
