While we're nerfing Local, can we make the directional scanner a bit less annoying to use, or maybe incorporate it better into the UI somehow? No Local is all well and good, but hitting that button over and over is a pain and shouldn't be necessary.
Maybe if the current directional scanner was split into two bits so that we had both a repeating scanner and the existing thing, so we retain the existing functionality alongside a much more convenient configurable system that can operate without us having to whack that button every couple of seconds forever. |

I like it, apart from the fact high sec is called high sec for a supposed reason. When you think about it seriously you do wonder why a passive scanner is not running continuously like they have in r/l. Eve is real |

Put the fun back in EVE guys. Nerf local. Please. It's only about 9 years overdue FFS.
Oh, and if any of you so called "PVP'rs" who are just a bunch of whiney high-sec haters argue against this, well, you're just showing your true carebear colors. I'd LOVE to PVP without local. It's almost a wet dream of mine. And if you doubt me, well, this is my main and you can go check my record - I probably have more kills than you.
Local is bad. Local ruins a lot of pvp, conversely, proper scouting should be rewarding. Though an improved DSCAN should be implemented to keep things a little sane, its so bad as it is now.
Also, we have almost the same kill total :D |

No, technically mining is not in any form or shape PvP. Unless you mine in order to roll down the passenger window of your ship, and chuck the nuggets of ore at opposing players' ships. |

Not the kind of PvP that the thread is about. That's like saying that corporations(actual live ones, not the EVE type) are in an all-out war against each other because they compete against each other on the open market.

Saying that it is technically PvP because the materials are used to build ships that may or may not be used in PvP is like saying going to work is technically going to war because the taxes off your salary goes to the state, which maintains the armed forces which may or may not be involved in armed conflict. |

MMO's have mining and competing against others for profits etc, PVP is players vrs players directly not indirectly.

Why? Can you see a Mining boat loss on my KB? Your attempt at a retort falls flat. Even with this toon. A miner I must add. Has a far better Balls enhancement KB, than most gankers.
The majority of gankers are jumping onto the bandwagon, for easy kills. Gutless wanabe's. FOTM is you will.

Anyhow, the only real consequences you can have in this game are economic. So as long as you are hindering someone else's ability to make ISK, you are engaged in PvP.
So to return to the original question: Ganking is PvP. (and mining is too, whether or not you agree with me.) |

I'm merely applying your argument to a real-life situation. So who's argument is really far fetched here? The U.S is involved in armed conflict. As are many other countries with tax-paying citizens. It is a fair comparison.
And no, unless a miner is gathering materials especially for his Corp to field a fleet of PvP ships, he has no idea what his Dense Veldspar will be used to after he clicks the "Sell"-button. |

That is either
a. Being an ass to another player. I'd call it griefing if you just follow him around and ruin his mining, not legitimate PvP.
b. Clearly a clever way of messing with a mining bot. |

Again not directly otherwise....god how obvious....all games would be called pvp games and not MMOG's. PVP is just a specific style of play not an all encompassing framework.
If you want to change the meaning and the commonly accepted idea behind PVP or MMO's or w/e I believe you need to talk to someone a bit further up the chain than us mere forum browsers. |

I understand where you go with this, but it is stretching the meaning to far. You could also argue, that just logging into an MMO game, you are entering PvP. You compete with limited server capacity. You compete for latency.... Bla bla bla. You have to draw the line somewhere.
