Because the roaming gang relies on local to find things to kill. |

You mean the scouts who are looking at local to see whether the system is empty or if there's a target? |

Your scouts drop probes to look for targets when local is already telling them there's nobody in the system? |

Well it works for the Republican Party. |

And more of the sheep people show them selfs. He even sounds like one too. "Here they come to predictably explain why I'm wrong. These fools. Never mind that their position actually makes a hell of a lot more sense than mine."
"Facts" and "Evidence" are a Liberal Plot To Destroy America wormspace. |

Oh, I see. You don't want to remove local, you want to remove local as an intel gathering tool for everyone else whilst being able to still use it as an intel gathering tool yourself.
Quote:But u don't want that u want to see me as soon as I jump in system so u can speed off to your safe spot and dock up.
A much more reasonable solution has been put forward elsewhere: you don't show in local until your gatecloak wears off. Combine that with a much higher rate of warp acceleration and deceleration for smaller ships (perhaps related to the ship's mass, or agility modifier), and the window of opportunity to say 'crap, neutral in local, better warp off to safety' before the frigate scout gets a point on you is much reduced.
Removing local outright, or 'delayed' local ,which are effectively the same thing, simply moves the majority of the ratting and mining targets back to the safety of Empire, turns 0.0 combat into groups of people stumbling around blindly in the darkness and occasionally bumping into each other, makes roaming gangs a tedious exercise of re-probing at every jump (especially since there'll be far fewer ratters and miners out there to gank in the first place), and turns wider 0.0 habitation and combat into a one-dimensional 'covops cloak or don't bother' arena. |
