Redesign local to only show up when you speak in local.
After having read this suggestion for the thousandst time, I just have to ask:
In what way would that be any different from removing local entirely? If no one talks, local is empty. Just as if you removed local.

This is still going on? Obviously I was too successful in my attempts to be polite in my first post, so pay attention kiddies, (if you are even capable of it.)
IF YOU WANT TO ROLL OVER UNSUSPECTING PLAYERS WITHOUT HURTING THE GAME ECONOMY GO BACK TO WOW.
Think for a minute before you reply on how "unrisky" low and neg sec mining are... every time I take a hauler or mining barge out to low or neg sec, i get setup and blown up during the first cycle... so I quit. Now there are people who can do this better than me, obviously, cause there are minerals on the market. However, if local is removed, it will almost completely remove the ability for new players/corps to get into that aspect of the game....
I had quit the game for several months due to being unable to do anything but high sec mining and ratting and missions. I came back with a better grip on the game, and better prepared, but how many new players will not come back? Those of you who are pirate or covert ops and like this idea better start thinking how much fun it is gonna be when the only people playing the game are the pirates.
Now please sit down and STFU.

That is the first time I have ever said that.... and I was referring to a specific pattern in MMOs.... In WOW (from what I understand, I have never played it) It is common for people trying to get together decent equipment to be rushed by vastly superior forces. That is a different style game, where apparently this doesn't cause playerbase issues.... However, out of 4 friends who started playing the game at the same time I did, I am the only one playing.... for this exact reason.... Please think before posting

Bad comparison, EvE online is the pvp game, not WoW, it is a pve game with some pvp, in some realms not even that, and that game has a very primitive economy system. I think it is impossible to tell if that economy is hurt or not. :p
And again, a Miner in low-sec with no Escort? What is up with that? Team up with players that want to do ratting in those systems, you get protections and can mine and he or they gets the rats and scan for dangers.

because that would enhance the attacker's advantage in terms of psychological effect/isk production impact, while reducing their actual combat effectiveness. It'd also drastically reduce the relative safety for those who're likely to be attacked and using local as a defensive tool. Lose-lose situation all round.
Local, as it is, is balanced. there is no reason whatsoever to change it. Changing it in any way would be detrimental to eve.

To the original idea:
Removing local will make a belt hunter and miners to be just a random easy target. In this case, the only thing pirate need to do - is jump from belt to belt and kill targets that are below his size or fly away from dangerous ones. Even better to forgot about using scan probes, probes will make it less effective since the hunter/miner can see it on the directional scanner.
I smell fox and chickens situation. 
Still good idea, eh? If you donÆt like to see the local -just minimize this window. Nobody pushing you to use it.

geesh,
remove local. if you do that can i have a option to toggle pvp on/off. if its off i can not use anything equipped onthe ship. set a toggle time to like 10-30 minutes too
oh and i want to have sentry guns at the gates in 0.0.
after all if we own a system/sovergnity why cant we put guns in a place where it really matters not some station where reds wont fly to unless there gonna destroy it

Still a good idea. 
I used local a lot when I actually made journeys into low-sec. However it has 2 limits, 1 it doesnŠt tell where other players are and 2 while one might suspect that players with negative security status are pirates I discovered that there are casual PvPers that are doing enough missions to be on the positive side and still destroy ships when given a chanse.
Sure it will be a fox and chicken situation with no local. And that will be boring how?
And I really believe it liven up 0.0 space ;) Seeing how few destroyed ships there are in large parts of 0.0 space, you really must lack action there, some pirates out there might do the trick.
Best part is that pirates might actually jump into other pirates, they donŠt know what they will met when they jump from field to field, while ratters + miners will simply asume that anything appearing close to them are hostile. As even PvPers has pointed out, that low-sec was meant for small ganges warfare. So no reason to rat or mine solo. It isnŠt WoW after all, it isnŠt that safe, as has been pointed out endlessly for us Empire dwellers whenever a freighter gets destroyed in High-sec.
Right now pirates can jump into a system scare everything to dock or warp to deadspace when he just intended to jump through, or if they donŠt he will have an easy access to what is up on the menu today.

Yes, why don't we encourage blobbing further and add total laggmegadethdestr0ction to the hampsters? Sounds good to me...
/sarcasm
instead lets keep this mechanic that allows us to somehow gain access to the jump gate registry and then sense any ships in the solar system until they leave - serious
