I think Local breaks immersion completely. Seeing who else is docked in the same station as you makes sense, seeing everyone in the same solar system is bogus.
It was, but it wasn’t as enjoyable as the Trigs invading hi-sec. Now that was fun. Watching all the carebears dock up and complain in local. And then they got what they wanted through their inaction… Niarja fell and messed up their silk road. I was laughing so hard when that happened!
I was there for 18 hours in the Goon Ferox fleet killing Edencom to flip the system. It was was a strategic decision to mess up TEST’s ability to resupply from Jita during WWBII. The salt it generated was priceless. Although it was bitter sweet because Niarja was the home of MiniLuv. Those were good times.
Our CEO of Frostpacker reviewed your rather upsetting response just a few hours ago and has taken a fairly hefty amount of [Spirits] after breaking open one of the [Large Crates of Spirits}. Other members of our Corp had appointed me to share the update that Iceacid Frostpacker had tried to undock while not being connected to his hydrostatic capsule. While it is still not fully clear yet of the damage sustained while trying to undock and if he will be the same pilot afterwards our other members, myself included are rather concerned if he will be okay to continue his mining duties after this as the news did hit him very hard.
Please take a moment to allow this terrible news to sink in.
