plagiarism, i solved it before you. Heretic.

I know I'm new to the game but I posted on this in a thread in the Noob Forum. After reading through some of this, I just wanted to show how I look at it and duplicate my opinion from the other thread, as it was locked due to the discussions here.

I don't even use local. I have the tab minimized and pinned just above my Overview. That is only to see how many are in a system when I enter.

The information that others gather from that means absolutely nothing to me. It takes up too much real estate and furthermore the jabber on that thing is just that...jabber.

I play the same way upon entering a system. I play the same way moving through a system. No matter if it's 1.0 or 0.0 ( not that I have even been to lo-sec yet but that's beside the point), I assume every gate is camped with 20 bubbles and every number in that local is the worst enemy in the game.

Given that...Any information that could be gained from that thing is nullified. Unless you are actually looking for someone in particular and even then you should have scanned them for their current ID. Otherwise, you are not a very good Assassin to start with.

Assume the worst and prepare against the best.
Minimize the tab and f the rest.

Well it works for the Republican Party.

You know I just read the last 2 pages and I seen something funny.

I seen some nullsecbears crying about being bad at small gang fighting and wanting a way to get the blob inside whs.

Its nice to see you owning up to needing your blobs to get any thing done.

....besides local is not used very often your alliance channels have all the intelligence and that is where to chat not local.

I don't care about stats. If you had been killed 400 times in nullsec and killed 10 ships in the process, I'd be fine with that.

From my experience, which alliance would not care if he had?

Man I seen a guy get kicked out of AAA for losing 3 6B tengus In less than 2 days. Because he was ******* up there KB. Funny thing was he still had the isks to keep doing it.

From my experience, which alliance would not care if he had?

Are you asking me to draw a conclusion based on your experience? Because I can't.

(Yes I know what you meant, and it didn't have anything to do with what I was saying).

Bahahaha. I'm sure you have plenty of nullsec experience. Your combat record definitely shows this.

I am in support of the topic.

You cry for more targets but then will not remove your greatest foe LOCAL chat.

Some want it removed. It most like it for its ease of Intel gathering.

And now to the main point.

How can u be such a Carebear and need ccp to keep local so you feel safe. Knowing you have your instant intel ever time you jump in system.


And dont even say if there was only a better way to get intel.

You have probes, combat probes, deep space probes, and D-Scan.
If you dont know how they work ask Your wh dwelling friends about there combat scanning.

Local is the tool of the weak minded sheep of null sec. You should be ashamed of your self.


Just head of any more LOOK AT HOW SAFE WHs ARE its not the lack of.locals.the the whs that you use to get around.






Let me play out a eve with out local.

You jump into system no one knows your there.

You drop probes and start scanning.

You see a ratting carrier and a few other ships on scan.

They havent ran becouse theres no local to let them know u jumped in system.

I am in support of the topic.

Saw similar in FA. KB stats was God

~terrible pubbie post~

Local is just as useful for the hunters as it is the hunted. Local is not a problem there's no targets because people can't live their. The areas are used as PVP arenas while everyone makes their money in highsec. People have been forced from their homes and into highsec. All you've done in your post is shown that you have no idea what the problems are and are incredibly naive.

So lets go over the problems:

1. Risk : reward has been trashed to cosset highsec (Mining barge EHP buff, aside from Skiff),

2. Sov is broken/terrible,

3. UI is getting better but could still use more work (less spreadsheets more spaceships).

Fix those and you solve the majority of the problems the game has.

I am still trying to figure out how removing local increases the targets? Anyone? Please?

U know every time someone says I use local for X, and its not chatting you provided Local is being used in the wrong way.
Local was never mint to be a intel tool, your head dev has said as much in a video dev blog a while back.

There is a lot of features that have uses that weren't intended by CCP. What's your point?
