I agree that the Observation Array is an absolutely ludicrous idea.
There is no way it would work out as not making Player NS orders of magnitude safer.
Dscan disruption?
Map scrambling?
Cloak detection?
Ship intel disruption?
How many mechanics do they want to break with one structure?
Going for somekind of record, maybe?
Hey you troll thatās from 2015 lol.
If they havenāt implemented it by now they probably never will.
Yes it would because the roamers would not have the information, but the defenders would, this is what one smart poster on the AFK cloaky camping thread pointed out. I would leave it as is rather than do this.
Also the destruction has now started to commence:

So the over production of ISK and key assets in 0.0 will now start to see some adjustment in the better way of glorious space explosions rather than changing mechanics to enable useless hunters to catch somethingā¦
Think about what you are saying.
Why are they useless?
Due to mechanics, or skill?
Instant Local intel means you know when they initiate the gate jump/WH transit and are arriving soon. If you initiate warp to safety at that time, nobody, ever, will catch you.
Was flying around hostile nullsec in a cloaky nullified loki running sites while being chased by volta, becuase they couldnt catch me over 10 jumps does that make them useless hunters? lol no it just makes the current version of eve online too easy to stay alive.
The current version of eve is great for making isk, but once you have that isk you will waste hours apon hours trying to find fights, one day when all the people complaining get to this point they will finally understand.
Because they need a delay in local to catch something.
Lack of skill, ship choice, lazyness as they have no knowledge of what the prey is likely to be in and therefore what anom they will be in. They want to be able to warp in and catch something without even doing any leg work, lazy useless playersā¦, they should go play a FPS insteadā¦
Yes and then you have a mad scramble to get out, take a ratting VNI, it is orbiting with an oversized AB, so has to align.
Yes, but there is an IF there, what of you just warped to a site, in a slow aligning ship, it is not as clear cut as you make it appear to be. Luck comes into it, if they come in at the worst possible moment when you are in warp to a new site. People get less observent, make mistakes etc.
I have done hunting and evading, so I know what I am talking about.
Of course it makes them useless hunters. For one, they chased you for 10 jumps without noticing their futility. And secondly, because they could not catch you. They just needed to wait in a site with a neutral to tackle you.
On the other hand, if you managed to evade them as much as you claim you did, you are good at PVP. This means that āgoodā hunters met with āgoodā PVPer target.
Not sure what constitutes a fight for you, I rarely have problems finding targets. It depends on where you go. EVE has, however, gotten emptier. I remember times when the K-Q pipe in Curse was permanently camped. Now itās devoid of people. I remember times when Providence was bustling with activity, now it is empty because some morons decided to take it over. I remember times when Rancer or Tama were permanently camped, now they are regularly deserted places. And there are many more examples.
Nothing of this has to do with how local works.
Ive done both as well.
As I warp to safe when an unknown is indicated by Local as enroute to system, Ive never, ever been caught.
They will never catch me.
Its impossible for them to arrive in system, find me, and warp where I am before Ive warped to a safe.
Its that simple.
As long as I warp to safe when an unknown enters, they will never catch me on site.
The other day I was moving something from U-Q to ZXIC and the 9KOE campers who know what they are doing almost managed to get my Loki using sabres. I was cloaky and nullified, if they had been in interceptors they would have got me. With the changes to align time there is a real chance for skilful players to catch them.
You are talking about being chased, but no details on what they chased you in, if it was not interceptors then lazy ship choice on their part. And if it was ceptors and they failed on 10 gates then it was incompetence. Volta are not as elite as they think, I had one cry in local because I used a Falcon on him.
Can you say that 100% of the time, donāt deal in absolutes, 100% perfect situations, i.e. being pre-aligned 100% of the timeā¦ Are you pre-aligned all the time, yes/no?
I dont need to be pre-aligned. If I warp to safe as soon as they pop-up in Local, they will never catch me. While they are looking for where I am, I will already be warping to a safe.
So you are telling me that you are in warp to or just arrived in the only Sanctum that has spawned in your carrier in a 12.5 AU system and you will be able to get out before that ceptor can get a point on you. You are far better than me then.
I linked a Nidhoggur KM above where that happened, think about it.
I think delayed local would be the death of eve. I have not logged on for more then a few minutes in days. And I dont really rat much, just enough to keep myself above -2 . A few PI alts fund my constant PVP.
I was about to spend some money so I could buy some more skill extractors but I wont. Ill just use isk this time. Cant spend it all anywaysā¦
Yes. Iām telling you that.
Either that, or waste the interceptor on my supporting alt.
Its not an issue.
Iām safe as fk with instant Local.
Well there are so many people caught and killed that I would suggest otherwise:
Just todayā¦ and all have ceptors on them, these people know what they are doing, funny thatā¦
So idiots and afkers got wrecked?
What is your point?
You just made it!
Though are you sure that they were idiots or AFK, because they might have got caught due to being in warp or arriving as the guy came into local.
I dont get what point you think I made, to make yours.
Your original point was that delayed Local would help crap hunters.
Now you seem to invert that to crap ratters.
Which is it?
The people who call for a delay in local are crap hunters who would be better off playing a FPS.
That would not change with delayed Local.
You are losing the plot here.
