The MINIMUM requirements for a scanner based replacement of Local:
-- Must be able to sort out unmanned junk (cans and abandoned ships, etc)
-- Must be able to sort out friendly stuff
-- Must update every second (minimum)
-- Must AUTO UPDATE, so you can just open the scanner window and keep an eye on it.
-- Must be able to detect the PRESENSE of cloaked ships. To avoid over powering this function, make it strictly a 360 degree minimum 1000km range function (perhaps allow a specialty ship to use this fuction with directional scanner....)
-- Must have an clear and distinct game sound that goes off when anything within the scanning criteria enters scan range.
The effect of all this would be a scanner that was blank, even in highly cluttered system, until some unknown ship entered scan range.

But that's not how it works now. This would be an additional feature that provides information currently not available with local chat.
The minimum in that sense would be knowing how many people are in local without identifying who is flying what by long range scanner.
Sounds to me like you don't object to local on realism issues, but only because it works.

Currently it is pure 100% suicide to not watch local all the time in 0.0.
0.0 MUST be survivable for small groups and even individuals who are careful. Any change that does not allow this is incorrect.

no no and no. :)
removing local only really benefits certain play-styles at the expense of others.
Could you expand on this? What play-styles do you believe it benefits, and harms, and how does my proposal fail in addressing those issues?
It benefits play styles that emphasize
1. Not Producing in 0.0
2. Traveling in large gangs
2. Blobbing
3. Cloaking
4. Any and all low risk combat types
THAT is why I am rabidly against ANY change that does not REPLACE local with an even MORE EFFECTIVE AND EASY TO USE intel tool.
