That's impossible, because being away from keyboard means you cannot activate the cyno module

Bots are guaranteed to be more efficient at keeping up their diligence, and respond to things like someone showing up on d-scan, popping up on overview and popping off the cyno etc. So, what exactly do you think will happen if local was removed from nullsec?
I don't even want to remove local from nullsec, just said that it makes your bots 100% safe. All I'd change is delay it until a ship breaks gate cloak.
FWIW, cloaked ships still don't show on dscan.

That's why AFK cloaking is such an effective tactic, because you really have no way of knowing if that cloaker is really there or not.
The obvious counter to this is "don't rat there". If you lose your ship because of someone who was cloaked in your system for several hours presumably AFK, you shouldn't whine on the forums because you knew exactly what the risk was and you accepted it. AFK cloaking is fine because the ratter gets to determine what level of risk they find acceptable. http://themittani.com/features/local-problem

So that's your opinion, me saying local is broken is backed up by a video dev blog where the LEADING game development guy says it needs fixed.
U know you have spent 21 pages yelling how with out local your so bad at eve u will die to every pvper that comes by your system. That is truly sad.
Why don't u spend less time.shitting up my threads and more time.think.how.to.protect.your.self in a.locales null.

They've also said that JBs were a "major force projection tool", even though literally every campaign being fought the past 3+ years have used forward staging areas with which to project force. They've said that they wanted people to start convoying freighters to the market because it would be ~awesome~. They've said titans would be something awesome which alliances could strive towards building, and that there would never be more than a handful of them in the galaxy. And, apparently, they've also said that local must be replaced by some other tool.
Just because it's on video somewhere, by a dev, doesn't mean they're ever going to be put into production, or even go much beyond that person yapping on about some pipedream he's concocted while sucking on some particularly effective strain of pipe tobacco. In fact, what they've done since soundwave said that, has been to improve local time and time again. And there's a very good reason for that: it would depopulate null even further than it already is.

You would.accomplish more. I already have, several years ago in fact. I moved anything which wasn't even remotely related to fleet fights into hisec, because the return on effort investment, combined with the lack of losses, has meant that I spend less time playing this game to make more than I would in null. Remove local, and that'll just get worse. vOv Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home. |

Aligned ships need to be bump tackled, regardless of what is controlling them. Reaction time becomes secondary to ship align vs targeting delay+locking time in that situation. . |

Yes.
So you agree that you lose because you can't cyno in an overwhelming blob.
Idk, stupid pissing contests aside, to us the mass limitation is an interesting component of engagements. 50 pilots is a huge blob to us, and fights between that big fleets are rare. It's just a different way to have good fights, and I don't really see why you see the main mechanism creating a small/medium size pew environment in such a negative light.
All the main wh alliances are there for pvp, and dozens of wormhole systems are razed to the ground every week, the mass limitations do not prevent pvp from happening- just invites a different appoach, different tactics.

Interestingly enough, local does not protect bots.

That is exactly what we need to do. We run sites always in a hostile system, which means we also need eyes on the tower(s) of the local people, as well as continuosly probe for an incoming wormholes. Luckily passively listening to wormholes (or gates in yoru case) is a task easily handled by alts, but as a human player actively scouting the system is always better, the scout gets the same payout as the guys shooting sleepers.
I don't find shooting red crosses that much fun either and would prefer scouting. However as long as many players need the ISK from PVE, it's just **** that needs to be done, and working as a team to do it as safely as possibly makes it almost fun.
Quote: And bots would still be better equipped with dealing with that situation than humans would. Your point?
Actually I think human brain is far superior in analyzing the situation and adjusting reactions in that situation, as the reaction time advantage becomes meaningless when you are bumped out of aligned and pointed. Both will probably die  . |

Obviously I haven't tried bumping with a recon with a covops cloak, but I wouldn't think it would be that effective, and you would still decloak when you go within 2k of the ship, which should give the bot at least one tick with which to activate warp before whomever had a chance to bump him. Compare that with a human who would've had to deal with a momentary burst of adrenaline, and then navigate the warp to menu. Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home. |
