The success of w-space has proven the viability of removing local without changing the scanning mechanics. It works just fine having local in delayed mode with the current scanner. There is zero reason to not change 0.0 local to delayed mode. |

Why people don't use their brain more than one minute before posting...
In WH, you don't have gates. Just one or more WH that not everyone can use as everyone don't have skills or the good ship size to find/use it. So the risk to encounter others players is low as it is difficult to reach them. Also, their positions change all the time and so this motivate people for fast operations, to not be lost.
The first time - and last time - I encountered players, one month ago, I saw 3 people. They disappear few minutes after and I never see life again in all next WHs I do. The only thing I found since, is an abandoned POS last week...
Of course, it is not a generality, but apart maybe in Class 1...
So maybe the reason that no one complain about local in WH, is because the risk to encounter someone is LOWER than ANY null secs ?
So that the risk is very low ?
So no, WH hasn't prove the viability of removing local, as a WH is totally different of a standard solar system.
It's amusing as hell when people lead off a statement with an insult and then expect others to view their idea with neutrality.
Ignoring your wormhole experience, my experience in w-space has been vastly different with contact with hostiles being commonplace. Wormholes are camped/bubbled just the same as gates and there seems to always be someone poking their nose through trying to steal my stuff, kill my ships and generally annoy me.
W-space shows that no local is perfectly viable. The only difference is that people going into wormhole space accept the fact that there isn't local to hold their hand, while all the other #ssholes in the game depend on it as a crutch and are horrified at the idea of life without it. Gameplay works just fine without it. Nothing needs to be added to the game to replace it once it's gone.

Repeating the same statement with alts and mains over and over does not make it any more true or false man :P
W-space is a very different mindset, slowly but certainly. Until we give it decent time to see how it really works out (noticing the upcoming changes to drop rates since the place isn't yielding enough ..) any "judgement" is premature.
That being said, I do wish the economist had datamined that aspect, even preliminary, and put it in the QEN. Would give better insights then just private observations across the board.
W-space is only a 'different mindset' because the the players going there accept that there isn't any local to be used as a crutch. If local never existed the way it does currently, you wouldn't be seeing forum posts whining for the addition of such a tool, now would you? |

Hmmm that would be done as part of an industry expansion I think. I'd rather add moon minerals to hauler spawns.
TBH that's a great idea. 10/10. |
