Hello,
We've all had times when we've spotted someone in WH space, but they were gone / cloaked up before you could get their name. I am proposing a tweak to the WH local mechanics in that if you spot someone in the system, they get added to the local member list.
Now, here's the twist: they are only added to your local. If you are the only one that spots someone, they do not show up on your corpmates local or anybody else in system. And obviously, you won't know when the player leaves system, just like it is today if you speak in local.
I think this would be a valuable feature for intel-gathering, while not compromising the secrecy of WH space. This would also make it easier to add people who show up to contacts and watchlist, since you won't have to type their name out and can just drag them to your contacts list.
Again, you will not show up on local unless you are spotted uncloaked, and even then you only show up on the spotters local.
Thoughts?

I like it, sounds hard to encode. +1 for them to look into it though.

Edited by: Pyth2 on 28/07/2011 20:03:12 No that's dumb.It's perfectly fine the way it is. If you can't find someone in time to see who they are from your fleeting glimpse as they warp off, then to bad.
Def do not support adding any sort of extra intel features in wspace local. One of the main attractions of wspace for a lot of people is the complete lack of local functionality so long as you don't speak.
You want good intel, learn to cov ops better, or go back to kspace.
Also, why would you make a post supporting you own suggestion right below it. Remember to switch to your alt next time.

Not much of a twist at all is it. You'll just drag their name into corp chat from your local chat and say spotted this guy.
You're basically asking for, exactly what local wasn't meant to be in WH space, an intel tool.

Edited by: Malkev on 28/07/2011 21:47:25 So now you can just park your scout on an active WH and walk away?
As a karate expert, I do not support this.

Who does this? Right click on target in overview, show info, add contact, done.

Almost everyone supports their own post. It was not my intention to post with another alt.

Of course you will. I'm not saying that you won't. However, I gave that example to show that they won't show up on anybody else local.

You raise a valid point, I did not think of that.

I agree. It's not like your ship's sensors can't record this data when you aren't paying attention. --

It's not like you should have to play the game or anything.
You want instant intel and 'safety', go to k-space.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with WH local.

Edited by: Rawbone on 29/07/2011 02:11:59 Wormsholes should show local when ccp allows capital ships to cyno in as well as remove mass restrictions from active wormholes. The rest of us have to deal with gristle in the gravy, why should you be special?

It has nothing to do with sensors. If you read the background lore, its everything to do with lack of the fluid communication network in w-space.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Nooooooo...
More serious answer: Wormhole Space isn't like dusting crops in known space, boy. We don't want or need a local channel that provides free intel for any and all that can't or won't use the tools the rest of us make do with.
That is all. === Q u o t e: If the servers aren't up, its not a hotfix. |

No.
I can speak for my Corp when I say that we in no way, shape or form would or could support this idea.
K-Space and WH-Space are different and unique. Leave them that way. Wormholes: The *NEW* end game of Eve - Online: No Local. No Lag. No Blues (No Intell Channesl). No Blobs. |

Doubt it can be coded to apply to individual clients, even so merely seeing a ship should not be enough.
Minimum should be "show info" on pilot, a completed lock on his ship or a WH 'tag' command that perhaps requires a specific POS module.

This change would enable AFK intel gathering by cloaky scout - sit him on a hole for 16 hours, get a long list of everybody who went through the hole on your screen when you come back.
Not supported.
