SiJira,
From my thread on improving low sec (see link in sig):
Introducing - The Fog of War.
Without the capabilities of Empire maintained communication relays your ships awareness its inceasingly mutted in Low Sec. This works by degrading your local scan range - in 1.0 space you see in local everyone within 100AU (99% of a system), in 0.9 this drops to 90AU and so on until 0.1 systems are down to 10AU radius for Local Intell.
Its a compramise Id admit, but a workable one imho.

i agree that the changes need to come in small increments and something like that would be one of the first steps
And probably the last. Scaling local intel is logical when laid alongside the Sec Status of a system. Removing local in its entirety would ultimately have negative effects upon the 'social' aspect of EVE. Constellation Chat channels wouldn't cover it, as we are as a species more able to assimilate social contact through proximity.
No local is a bad idea; limiting local in a scaled fashion makes sense instinctively - like moving from a light filled corridor into increasing darkness.

With that system noone would utter a word in local and then the points I mention would apply (social interaction, etc).
Edit: having said that, Ive just realised that you are refering to 0.0 only in your OP. My system is exactly the same, it just spreads out across Eve in varying degrees of intensity.
I would argue that cloaks would need to be scannable however under such a system: they would be to advantaged otherwise in many situations.
