Ok.. If this is the way to get CCP attention for new changes then I want to know who is going to go for few things.
- Changing or removing Buddy list ingame.
and

I'm uncertain of your concerns with the Buddy List, but shall assume that it pertains to others knowing when you're on or not.
Principally, I am not for changing or removing the Buddy List as it currently stands.
I am for changing Local Channel such that avatars/toons only appear after one has used the chat channel.
I use buddy list to capture my enemy and keep track of them.
And many use that list to keep track of who of the enemy Capital ships are online.
So either remove it or make it work like MSN or something similar.
About Local chat.. I'm specially thinking about 0.0 space here.
- Have delay
or
- Make only ppl that speak appear in it.
Anything would make a big difference to current situation. Imo the cov op's blackop and all ships that can cloak are just useless!
And another thing I would like to see changed.
Remove Chr names from Overview.
- This would lengthen the fights
- Make the Kill mails even more surprising and fun to look at.
- Harder to take down known gang leaders in the begining.
- Give known named pilots the joy to play again without being called primarys all the time! ;-D

... and you also complain of lag and slow load times, right? Since you're in 0.0 I assume you have thousands of people there. Been there, before standings were shown on local.
I did not complain about lag or slow load times.
I'm not sure what you mean by: Originally by: Sariyah
"Since you're in 0.0 I assume you have thousands of people there. Been there, before standings were shown on local"
Could you be little more detailed?

I just added thouse that I really wanted to KILL and thouse that where passing by and so on.(Pretty Unfair imo) So why don't I just stop doing that since I think it's unfair.. well this is effective way and local chat kinda give me no other options. But that only works 1-2 times and then you need a new chr or friend to take over if you want to catch the guys again, because he knows your intention when he sees your online and in local.
And in 0.0 space it just makes no sence when you have Cov op's and all these ships to do the local chat jobs for you.
All I'm saying I WANT MORE HARDCORE in 0.0
0.1-0.4 systems could maybe have some sort of delay.
0.5-1.0 systems whould be like they are. Since Concord and The 4 Empires whould have a beacon hub that all that enter the system have to register at to be able to be in theyr space with out concord killing the unknown threat.(That could be the story line reason.)

The first, removing the buddy list... I'm not sure I agree with from the perspective that you should be able to find your friends. This is after all an MMO. What may be MUCH more solid in my perspective is being able to control who can see you... like with IM. If you're not on my buddy list you don't get to see if I'm online or not. That serves to meet the dual need of getting in touch with your friends, while mitigating the issue where large alliances will add say, your capfleet to their buddy list to avoid a hot drop. Guess what? This will also decrease the size of buddy lists.
You can alwayes use eve-mail. I'm not talking about removing it, more like change it to where you add somebody and he has to accept to allow you to see if he's online and so on.

Local has always been explained as the information relayed by the jump gates themselves iirc. I could see some merit in working within that constraint to tweak the system a bit. Perhaps if I own a chunk of 0.0 I should be able to drop a mod in system that will shut off the gate's local reporting. It is my space. Perhaps I should have some control over the gates themselves. This has all been discussed in the past by devs I believe and I find it intriguing at least as a discussion point.
Here you talk about controling the local somehow... ok.. but who's controling it now... Do we all have this automatic system in our ship that broadcasts to some local hub that we have no controle over.
Originally by: Darius JOHNSON
What if I was able to disable the gates leading into my sovreign constellations and stealth had to be used to re enable that jump functionality to bring in your fleet? Bridging in a covops using a blackops BS, who has a hacking skill and module to hack the gate to allow the rest of the fleet to enter.
Nice Idea.. make a new topic for that if you like.
Originally by: Darius JOHNSON
This type of theorycraft I at least find compelling as opposed to a blanket "Let's get rid of local". We've been having that discussion for years.
CCP even made us do a vote about local few years ago but to many life on this exploit!

Delay is bad. Often 30 sec - 1 min delay is just enough so a good scanner catches you.
But yea, nailing farmers should be at least possible, now it's impossible (unless they're like scrambled by rats, ehh) if they watch local. Umm, or use some nonsense like bacon or what's that called again ;)
This is a MMO game.. get some friends to help and defend or attack.! One thing I love about this game is that it is a crule harsh world. But the more I play it the more I notice it's so much simular carebear world like WOW.

re: who's controlling it, CCP. The going RP backstory is that the jump gates log who goes through them and somehow this is transmitted to your ship.
Then CCP is failing there, why does it not still show all player that are logged out in that system.
What about Capitals that dont use the gates they shouldent appear should they?

No real opinion on this personally, except that I'd simply like to see it work. There are still times when it reports an incorrect status now and then..
It works fine  Just relog and it refreshes.. hehe
