@ the OP.... Just wondering how many times you fell off of the short bus head-first and where you are getting the drugs.
Seriously, what benefit do you get from removing local? The only ones that stand to gain are the ones that want to sit there for hours on end camping a gate and hoping people will warp in to them from across the system. Claims that it makes life too safe for the isk farmers is ridiculous. Removing local would only make things safer for them as there would be no way for you to know where they are unless you literally go from system to system and check every single belt and scan at every single planet for encounter plexes. What can they do to keep their sense of security? How about spamming more shuttles? Not like there aren't at least a hundred 0.0 systems that are pretty much impossible to scan for ships in due to the fifty shuttles, noobie ships and GSCs. Supposing you actually decided to hunt the enemy instead of just some macro farmer, how do you plan to scan them down? Perhaps fly by every single moon and take inventory of the ships that are sitting empty in the POSes?
The way I see it, local is of more use to the agressor than it is to the victims. Hunters are much more likely to get bored than the prey is as the sheer redundancy of what the prey is doing lends itself much more to the patient people. If you really are patient enough to search an entire constellation looking for a person that could be docked in a station in one of ten or more possible systems, checking every concievable place along the way to try and find someone that you'll never really know if they were there or not, then you should be waaaaay more than patient enough to adapt your tactics to work with local in its current form. Maybe you should look into learning how to use the tools the game provides to get kills instead of sitting on a gate in your smartbombing battleship for hours on end waiting for shuttles and frigates to warp in to their death.
Next time you think about wasting everyone's time with another thread like this with intentions to bump it over and over again with a myriad of alts, please try telling someone in RL your ideas first. If they look at you like you have an extra arm growing out of the top of your head or something, please don't post. If they seem to more or less understand you and sympathize with you, please check them into a treatment center for their own good.
