Removing local is the most ******ED idea CCP has ever come up with.
Local helps you FIND fights and the way null is right now, most people put a gang together and can't find one. This will make finding PVP HARDER not EASIER.
It will make ganking easier, but that's not PVP, that's PvCB.
Not only that, but this is going to make black ops easy as, well, you never saw us coming, you didn't see us jump into system and well, you don't have our fleet scouted within range either, cause it's cloaked and you have no local.
Removing local is a bad idea and the morons who make the claim that a delayed local, like in wormholes, is a good idea are dumb as they don't think about how unbalanced and boring null/low sec will be when/if they do.
It doesn't help gang warfare in the slightest.
When I take out a 10-20 man gang, we find our hostiles by going into local/intel channels (which are reported by local counts and normally inaccurate ), counting how many bad dudes and deciding to engage or not.
Without local, and by using an "improved scan system" you're now turning, what could be a fast, fun moving gang into a slow, boring one cause you gotta put your faith into a system we're counting on CCP to develop to function as intended.
Good luck
Local works, leave it.
The tears generated from black ops will be glorious, however, this will be niche and short lived. The rest of EVE Online combat will be difficult and hard to find. You will in essence, ruin finding small gangs to fight, just as there is an upswing on small gang warfare.

See this is where your wrong hun, because me and my mates have no local in w-space and we find kills all the time. Here is what local is really for... to get insta intel wile your ratting and carebearing if you should safe up and cloak up the moment a neut comes into the system.
You'd be mad bro if your local was suddenly taken away and you wouldn't have insta warning. Carebears are silly how they troll and whine.  The moment ccp removes local from null sec and lowsec will be fun. Because its people like you who are too lazy to use D-Scan or be a man and die like one to a surprise cloaky tackler.
W-Space is the most fun because it gives like... the element of surprise and all that. In 0.0 and lowsec you instantly know whats coming because of local and that's pretty broken. Fights are more fun because of the unknown.
