I cant help but speculate that the LOCAL channel is going to change in KALI. Otherwise, there would really be no reason to do system scans like the above story states! WHATS GOING ON? THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!

This is happening with local
Overview tags for standings now show in local, replacing the need for a massive buddy list that lags your client out. ------

Silly mortal.
The fiction has no relation to the game. All kinds of things could be infered from the backstory and ongoing fiction, but alas, the two are not actually related. Don't try and pull meaning from it. It's just a story. ___________________________________________ The deeper you stick it in your vein, the deeper the thoughts there's no more pain. ___________________________________________

Everybody was checking that info manually anyway, so there is no difference. Only better server performance. I like it... :)

Wish they'd let us have a setting where the list of people in the channel is shown as text only, no portraits. It would compress it vertically a bit.
Matter of fact, they could make it look like the overview.

I have to say, having seen it, I really like it.
I know that there is a body of opinion that is pro-local removal, and it is a respectable argument, but not one I share.
The reasons for the change probably twofold, both convenience and server performance, people in an empire war are likely to be checking this info anyway and it largely kills the need for a huge "buddylist of non-buddies".
Whilst knowing little about the inner workings of eve, I would hazard a guess that people clicking "show info" on 150+ people in busy systems probably query (as in db-query) a lot more data than they actually need.
I daresay that people who fail to pay attention to local, will still do so, so I don't anticipate any great changes other than the aforementioned.

I really like it. I would have been happy with local removed all together or this.
Trying to look up info on each person in local and having to wait for the image, employment history, etc to load was just no good.

Well short of making people maintain constant gatecamps all around their territory, local is the only way people have of detecting cov-ops flying alt scouts... Isn't that right Mecto... ¼_¼
Local would have to be replaced by something, maybe something like surveylance drones that you can plant in a system or near a gate to monitor what comes through then notifies you, your corp or alliance if it sees anything that isn't blue.
Or would that be even worse than local

*chuckles*
Ok everyone with half a brain was already checking it. Which means everyone who's spent more than 3 hours in 0.0 or lowsec. Which means a crapload of players. Which means adding this will vastly reduce the info requests going on which will hopefully reduce server lag.
All it means is we get the same info we already did without having to constantly spam the server with 'info' requests. I love it. <3 CCP

I'm pretty sure that having all these drones from all these different corps alliances all over the the galaxay, would lag the entire system. Corps would have sensors in every system they go into, in the case of a WarDec. Can you think of how many sensors would be in Jita?!?

Then they can come with some restrictions. for example they could deactivate or wander off unless you visit them every 3 days or so, can't use them in high sec, can't deploy more than 5, can't deploy more than one per system, must be at least 100km from stations and gates, high skill requirements, costly... There's loads of ways you could dream up to make sure that you don't get thosands clogging up Jita.
Though I'd personally be in favour of just closing off all stargates into Jita too many tards in one place.

/strongly disagree
Local helps provide PvP encounters. If there was no local then PvPers would spend 98% of their time flying around trying to find a target instead of the 80% of the time that it is now.

I also saw this on the boards a long time ago...forget who was the first to bring it up, but really seems like the best option to me. Although i think it might have been Rod from evol.
Still a chat tool, still a surveilance tool, but is not a replacement for your ships scanner like it is now.
