The only real issue with local is that you can see cloaked ships in there, and that they can see local while cloaked.

Nerfing local would do just that.
Depends how they do it.
1. When a ship cloaks, it gets removed from local.
2. When a ship cloaks, it is no longer able to see local. You can't see them, they can't see you.
3. When a ship uncloaks, have a delay in being able to fire a cyno off to prevent abuse of that mechanic. Possible Black Ops exception.
There you go.

Local had nothing to do with it. Noone needs local except the bots. You just have to remind the inhabitants occasionally that you're there. And there are a plethora of ways to do so: kill the occasional and random PI hauler, mining hulk, show up on dscan.
Notice how you never see any threads whing about people afk cloaked in a wormhole? The problem isn't local... it's that you can't hide from local. Even when you're cloaked they can see you. Change that and you add a whole new dynamic to the game.
I still think that The Ultimate Guide to Life, the Universe and Cloaking is a concept that would really add a lot to the game... it would keep some of the dangers of null there, it would kick bots right in the balls, it would add a whole element to small scale PvP and covops groups would be able to actually hunt like they're covert... it would be good.
