People who want to remove local are just people who want to force EVE to become a more tedious game via forced gate camping and scanning, tbh. Most of us play for fun, not to watch gates and spam buttons.
It works for WHs because numbers are low there. Force nullsec into the "no local" paradigm and you'll burn out a lot of people very quickly. Delayed local, fine. Cloaked people now showing up, also fine. But complete removal of local in space where thousands live and fleets of hundreds roam is just making EVE into a game with more forced activities most people don't enjoy.

"How come no one would fight me?"
"You were there?"
People who want local removed are under the impression that PvPers will run away from a handful of reds in local. The truth is, reds in local is what gets PvPers to undock and start scanning. Continuously scanning a system with nothing but friendlies would get pretty tiresome pretty fast, especially with enforced ship naming conventions in order to even be able to keep track, not that thats a hard thing to spoof.
It is, to put it lightly, a moronic idea. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

So you are implying that you should not be able to defend yourself properly until your stuff is being attacked and or exploded?
Nah that would be too easy. I was pointing out both a problem and an advantage.
in order for local to be removed there needs to be some way for people (alliances with sov) to compensate for the loss that doesn't involve "Hey you newbie, go to this gate and stay there and tell us everything that comes through"
Like a system beacon that starts screaming like a maniac when more than ten hostiles drop into a system at a time or something.
I must stress "or something" because the problem created outweighs the advantage. it also create a perception that in order to survive as an alliance in null one must micromanage everyone.
That's about as fun as sticking a nut into a grape juicer. but i think that there should be no warning about a singleton ship sneaking into a null system, bluntly. It's supposed to be lawless space, not police state monitoring system space. but large groups should set off alarms.
Im interested in giving people reasons to sneak into null to have a peek around, or to engage in small gang raiding, etc. Fleet movements aren't something I'd consider sacrosanct.
But I think exact intel should be imperfect, to represent the fact that nullsec isn't as "civilized" or as heavily infrastructure devoted as highsec or lowsec. |

This^
Take away local and you basically create a null sec where only alliances with big numbers can survive because of the logistical problems that it would create. There would be no more small gang roams because everyone would think there is a bizzillion mean people in null sec waiting somewhere in the system to kill them and would never be able to commit the numbers to "watching gates" or spaming 360* Dscan.
The point i am trying to make is that we shouldnt want to make it more difficult for newer players to experience null sec and taking the one tool that smaller corps and gangs use as a defense would hinder that. |

Even in larger alliances, no one wants to do any of those jobs. When logging in means you have to do something you don't want to do, then people just don't log in. This is precisely why all the enforced CTA alliances tend to fail and pull meager numbers on CTA fleets. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

PS: You missed the Loki I lost when I got sucked into aggressing at the gate before I found out they had "backup".
20+ blues ratting and faffing in V6 and PXF - no-one called red fleet coming through. 50+ in 9DQ - not one single person came to help at the gate. Not one. I still laugh about it.
That was the alliance they called FA. Glad you guys took them in. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

maybe this guy is a scrub and doesn't know about the onboard scanner
so finding targets becomes a thing where you use d-scan and start hurling yourself at anomalies which match up with the d-scan range (you're adjusting the d-scan distance filter every two seconds so you can match up anom/distance in KMs for d-scan, convert it to AUs, and then line it up with the anomalies on your scanner windows), then all you gotta do warp to it and tackle away
so imagine a fun nullsec roam where you gotta do that in every system you go into to find targets
proof that nullseccers are ******* terrible

yeah because bots aren't able to do things like spamming dscan and warping off when something hostile shows up on grid
they also can't react far quicker than a human ever can

Confirming this.
As someone who spent quite some time trying to figure out just how to spook some exceptionally skittish ratting bots into jumping into a bubble in Catch, it became quite apparent that they completely ignore local and simply instant-react as soon as a hostile appears on grid.

To OP,
I think removing local entirely is a tad overkill for a place with uninterrupted traffic possibility, unlike wh space where gates come and go.
That said, a possible fun compromise could look like:
A controlling alliance or corp of said null system/region would have to build some sort of radar pos to activate local for allies only.
Then, that pos's signal could in turn be hacked into (or destroyed) by roaming enemy scouts or gangs to access or temporarily disrupt the region's or system's local.
Would certainly make for interesting pvp hotspots imo, and temporary disruption would have to last a considerable time, like a week at most... |

That and my nullsec radar pos idea above would even things out nicely. |

Just put gates at wh's instead of free defences shutting down at will and null sec players will bring you more emergent content. We could then share our experiences and make it far more interesting for you and for us.
This would be a balanced choice and a good shake for every place and everyone. brb |

Simple, CCP should add few regions that works like 0.0 not WH with no local , and there will be answer if your fantasy have any hold in reality.
