yesterday i was discussing this with a friend..
we both sat down thought and came up with..
if 0.0 is to be in delay mode then pilots need another way of knowing when someone shows in local.
so...
youre happily ratting away or gate camping...
nothing in local. but you hear a ping. youre onboard ship scanner has just told you there is someone ( anyone ) within youre onboard scanner range. the ping should be for every contact. also.. if someone is using a cloaked or non cloaked ship to use thier onboard ship scanner ( no probes ) to scan you down, you get a different kind of sound. one that lets you know youre being hunted so to speak.
if new pilot in local cloaks there is no way to ping him down so to speak... unless he decloaks for longer than 3 seconds.

like the ping idea, but not when your being scanned, just as a ping that somethin is within the reader range, and that's all (so you will not have to spam it XD ___________________________________________ Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.

When we thought about it..
modernday submarines used passive and active radar.. they send out a ping.. and everyone within range knows. they get a radar contact its a ship but what ship is it really?
but yeah you all get the idea.
also i like the idea being tossed around for cloaking ships not meant to use covert ops. 1m cycle time and 5 min reactivation timer. It will make hunting isk farmers moar fun

Modernday submarines also warp, use cloaking device, log off...
Reality is reality, game is game, its time you understand that those two are diffrent things

Two problems...
1. Eve doesn't have sound. That's a fact.
2. Imagine if issue 1 wasn't an issue and 300 people warp to the gate you're on: Ping x 300. Locking up your machine and you die horribly.
3. ???
4. Profit.

youre a ****ing idiot! hows 300 pings any different to 300 ships appearing in local? and who mentioned sitting on gates? I can see the skill "reterded" lvl V is mandatory for youre corp etc |

Jeez.. let me help out here on point 2..
Pilot jumps into system.. server talks to client and local increases by 1. server also tells client to make a "ping" noise
299 additional pilots jump into system. Again, server talks to client & local increases by 1 (x299). server also tells client to make "ping" noise (x299).
Client Lags out due to above 
Point 1 is also correct  _____________________________________

automatic pings every few seconds for everyone ? holy wtfbbqpwn extra server calls and lag increase batman.
tbh that still sounds overpowered, immediate local info is such a rediculously overpowered feature, props to ccp for finally adressing it, at least for 0.0
scanner needs a complete revamp or just needs to be left alone, the more minor tweaks they do the more balance seems to get messed up. on the up side nano got pwned so ratters have more time to see the ships before they get to them
QR: pvp= screwed, pve= screwed... because misery loves company <3 CCP

Does BACON still work with the changes that CCP made with the log server?
