If you aren’t able to pay attention to local then you suck at EVE and should probably quit. We’re talking about an extremely minimal level of competence at basic EVE tasks.
You don’t even get a flashing background.
You don’t need it. Every single blue player is highlighted for you, if a non-blue name appears you dock.
Then you are wrong. Any idea which does not provide an alternative way to mitigate local is unacceptable, and the players have already collectively rejected the removal of local. So AFK cloaking can not be changed.
