I'm against removing the local names. How about pirates be more cunning than beg for more loopholes.

Removing local = removing the only viable ratter/miner/etc defense. Spamming scan 360 isn't much of an option.
But I have to admit, it would make the game more interesting. Of course, nerfing gate camping and/or warp jamming would be nice, too.
Outstanding contribution to this thread....I give you guys a -9 out of 10 for your effort and ability to see the big picture instead of your own narrow minded portion of the picture. to think of local as your only viable defense is why you die to pirates and gank squads.
This game is about thinking, adapting, and teamwork. This is why the majority of all updates to the game are "team oriented". This is a multiplayer game, not a single player game. If this change is made it would make it that much more important for players to work as a team to get things accomplished. Players would have to depend on teamwork to get through dangerous areas of space, just like with real life. I don't see a local chat when I go into the wrong end of town telling me there is a guy there ready to mug me.
What the Op is suggesting is an outstanding way to improve not only pvp (not just pirating) but also a way for miner's and haulers hide more efficiently. No more will a small gank squad be able to roll into a system and instantly see who is there. If the miners or haulers use a scout on ingates and in scan spots they will know when a hostile or shady character enter's system and will be able to warn his gang members....open your eyes and look at both sides of the picture.
If you use team work within this game you can eliminate half of the idiotic carebear kills in the game, but those who die while mining, ratting and hauling die because they are doing it alone and/or without a scout. This game wasn't built for solo play...it was build for team play and once you start playing as such you will see how much more productive you can and will be. |
