Quelque Chose New Eden Roller Disco Supply	Posted - 2008.07.23 08:31:00 - [1] ... or maybe the CovOps Remote Surveillance Drone. It's a heavily modified cloaked camera drone with an internal power source that lasts up to one hour in the absence of the host ship. It mounts a limited- range directional scanner and allows the user to scan and monitor a system's local chat channel from up to four jumps away. Can only be used by Covert Ops, Force Recon and Black Ops ships; once it runs out of juice it decloaks and behaves like any other abandoned drone. OK, you can tell me I'm smoking crack now. ___________________________________________
lofty29 Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.07.23 08:41:00 - [2] Not a bad idea, but make it a probe. 族---族 Latest Video : Relentless
Xindi Kraid	Posted - 2008.07.23 08:47:00 - [3] Now here I was thinking a cloaked drone so noone knows you have drones out until they get shot by them. A spy cam would be interesting too though and I agree with the above that it would be better as a probe --Bird of Prey: Forum God Caveat Emptor Caveat Venditor CAVEAT
Decimo DEATH'S LEGION	Posted - 2008.07.23 08:48:00 - [4] That actually sounds like a really good idea.
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2008.07.23 08:53:00 - [5] From a technical perspective, might there not be difficulty in having someone see two or more system's local at the same time? Since it is a special channel and all. - DesuSigs
Fujiko MaXjolt Caldari Templar Republic	Posted - 2008.07.23 09:01:00 - [6] I like it - like other people said, make it a probe, though... Also, a limit to how many you can have active at any one time would probably be good - say 2 or 3, maybe even a skill that controls it Also, a recon/covert ops probe that will scan cloaked ships down, but notifies the cloaker somehow would be awesome - if we're making a wishlist for these nice boats

Since it is a special channel and all. No idea... besides I expected people to object to the local thing simply from a "NERF LOCAL!" pov anyway. Maybe it could just convo you and transmit automated scan results that way. But mostly I'm just being a wiseass here. ___________________________________________
J'Mkarr Soban Amarr Proxenetae Invicti	Posted - 2008.07.23 09:11:00 - [8] Originally by: Crumplecorn From a technical perspective, might there not be difficulty in having someone see two or more system's local at the same time? Since it is a special channel and all. We could always get rid of local... Seriously though, I like the idea of the monitors that were in the X series of games - you could monitor anything then. -- These are my personal views and in no way represent the views of Proxenetae Invicti, which maintains a neutral stance stemming from the strong ethics demanded of its work.
GallenteCitizen20080615 Gallente Federation War News	Posted - 2008.07.23 09:53:00 - [9] i thought removing local was already in the works....... when that day comes, ill be happy as my black op plan will actually work as i have said once and many time before... this is not my sig
Feilamya Minmatar Pelennor Swarm Souls of Vengeance	Posted - 2008.07.23 09:59:00 - [10] Edited by: Feilamya on 23/07/2008 09:59:47 It is already too easy to avoid fights. If you are a soloer: You should know that if you can be 100% safe, your targets can also be 100% safe, and you won't get any more kills except noobs. Or more realistically (since this idea won't provide 100% safety but more safety than before) : You will get even less non-noob targets than you already get. If there is no risk to you, you will get no kills. If you are a carebear: Die.
GallenteCitizen20080615 Gallente Federation War News	Posted - 2008.07.23 10:02:00 - [11] i think the removal of local will bring a new foundness to PVP as no one knows you there unless they have someone at every gate, it also makes you do border patrol since you cant see who has entered you space as such. as i have said once and many time before... this is not my sig
Malen Nenokal Eden Federal Recon	Posted - 2008.07.23 11:03:00 - [12] 4 jumps seems a bit far, maybe if it covered 1 system Eden Federal Recon
Frug Repo Industries R.E.P.O.	Posted - 2008.07.23 11:12:00 - [13] Being able to launch a probe through a gate would be nice too... - - - - - - - - - Do not use dotted lines - - - - - - - If you think I'm awesome, say BOOO BOOO!! - Ductoris Neat look what I found - Kreul Hey, my marbles
Zephyr Rengate dearg doom	Posted - 2008.07.23 11:14:00 - [14] Originally by: Frug Being able to launch a probe through a gate would be nice too... Originally by: Jenny Spitfire I will not liek human meat but the naerest I tried is human chesse. I don't want to tried again ...
Crae Matreki Sten Industries	Posted - 2008.07.23 12:12:00 - [15] An alt spy without the need for an alt? I can't see CCP liking that idea for lots of reasons.
Dirk Magnum Spearhead Endeavors	Posted - 2008.07.23 12:31:00 - [16] Originally by: lofty29 Not a bad idea, but make it a probe. Seconding this.
fairimear Gallente S.A.S Ministry Of Amarrian Secret Service	Posted - 2008.07.23 12:39:00 - [17] NO. its bad enuff that all the ravens run from belts when u enter a system. we dont need them doing it well your 2 systems away. Makeing your npc hunters SS.
Riho Gallente Mercenary Forces	Posted - 2008.07.23 14:26:00 - [18] why not make a drone that can doomsday. works the same as the cloak drone by OP you are 4 systems away and doomsday... can only be used by a cov ops ---------------------------------- Fighting for Minmatar o7 Yes... this is my main. Extreme Troll Slayer...
Gerard deRidefort	Posted - 2008.07.23 17:44:00 - [19] Originally by: GallenteCitizen20080615 i think the removal of local will bring a new foundness to PVP as no one knows you there unless they have someone at every gate, it also makes you do border patrol since you cant see who has entered you space as such. Theres alreasy a fix for the local channel problem. 1. undock it from the other chat windows 2. minimize local chat window 3. enjoy playing eve without local.

Then you're blind, while everyone else still uses the advantage! If Local is going to get fixed, it needs to be a mandatory correction, not something that a player "might" do to handicap themselves. If Local were changed from an Immediate channel, then only players who speak would be displayed. And spies should know better than to be chatty while they spy. As for an "intersystem probe" of some kind... I think that'd be awesome. Maybe not the 4 system away version, but I'd love to see a Stargate probe to watch for Gate Camps. The "watching Local" aspect sounds more like another idea that was posted. Where someone could deploy an anchorable, that makes it appear as though you (or someone else) is on the Local chat. Then when people look for new faces, they worry themselves sick over you... even though you've actually logged out hours ago. --- Don't take my rantings personally. I may just be arguing the topic... unless you're saying something stupid, and then I mean every word.
Phext Gallente Lux Immortalis	Posted - 2008.07.24 13:36:00 - [21] Every drone wants a CovOps devices 4tw! Benefit: - they automatically cloak themselves if drone master has a D/C and uncloak if drone master is in range again. Prevents them from being destroyed by NPCs (if they are not aggroed) if user is emergency warped out. - drone master deploy drones, cloak them, let them approach the target stealthy, uncloak and attack target. To calculate target delay etc. for drones, CovOps/Cloaking skills can be used .
