kle¦ma my fellow eve¦rs 
i was scouting a enemy territory the other day
which made the systems i jumped into, needless to say
fill up with enemy ships eager to blast my assault frig
into million piece¦s i evaded them with some close
encounters here and there.
but that made me think, what would be so bad having a feature
where, if player whants to hide the name from local channel?
other players could still see the numbers of players in the
system both on map and local the character would be shown
as unidentified - ufo
you could say well if the map knows how many people are in the system it should be able to know the inhabitants
okay sure i get that, introduce a beacon scrambler module
all commercial flying jets have a id-beacon which tell
the radars which aircraft it is but that is not tamper-proof
sure its just a game BUT I WHANT IT MOMMY !!!!!
what ya think should i be clamped
/me looks for clamps from futurama

btw Cutie¦s i had a cloacker on thats not the big picture
i think local channel should have optional -show-name-feature
sometime it takes the excitement from wandering into
unknown territory¦s

Whats the main reason behind people not wanting to being seen in local?
element of surprice for one!
where¦s the fun of gathering a kill squad which might take 15 min or more and
the other force just runs away and logs off

I think you should only show up in local in empire space.
It doesn't make any sense in empire either.
sure it does empire space has sensor¦s that track ships etc.
use ur imagination there¦s full of excuses there

If you can't see it on your scanner, then you shouldn't see it period. Using my imagination to cover the poor design of someone else is something I for one am tired of.
i totally agree with you, wish i knew the bigger picture
or see it from a dev¦s perspective

sure there are some drawbacks if nerfing the local came
to effect, still i visioned it somewhat
like the normal extra channels that you are able to make
or join, you simply close the window u leave the channel.
You whont be seen, nor can you see others, or what they
type for that matter, u simply have the choice.
once i was told this was a space simulator or whatever
or suppose to act in a realistic way to some point
chat channel really does not fit in that sense
sure for a start it could be implented only in 0.0 space
to search for feedback and results
communication is a huge part of the game i agree
once u jump into a system the local could be set to
pop up each time... skeptical matter
