You just need to spend more time in one system, so the locals can get to know you. And it goes both ways, you get to know whos a local, whos a hauler, whos mining, etc. etc. so you'll get a good feel of who you can approach and talk to. Many good discussions sometimes start off with a simple "o/ [name here]" in local. That or "[name here] you forgot your drones again".
Sometimes people are also engaged in their own community chat channels eg. Corp, Alliance, everadio, helpmymission, incursion channels, etc etc. so a blip in the Local tab might not interest them. |

You'll get the opportunity to know who's who. If you do it well enough you might even get a few new blue contacts that you can 'use and abuse' heh. Its a community building tool, and most games that offer diverse sets of communities go a long way for player experience. |

Its a community building tool, and most games that offer diverse sets of communities go a long way for player experience. and for the vast majority of activities that go on in high sec; that's a completely useless waste of time. knowing "who's who" doesn't change mission payouts, mining yield, etc. in other areas of the game; sure it might be useful to do that... but not in high sec, there's no value in it.
In my part of hisec, my locals warn other locals if theres bumpers or known wardeccers/gankers in the next system over. Sometimes I also get interesting news from another part of the game that im not into, which is nice cause I dabble in manufacturing and some of these chats opened up markets for me.
You're looking at it from the immediate sense of things Kat.. er.. Dave. But I know where you're coming from and I just wish you and others find the ingame communities where you can just be yourselves :) |
