Replace Local Chat with Proximity Chat

Just a thought but if local was instead a proximity chat based on D-scan range, not system wide. System wide could then be a sov upgrade. Just a random thought

Two issues:

  • Proximity chat would tell you easily if someone is moving around system, even if cloaked. Bots now easily see if hostiles are near-by and if they are moving in your vicinity.
  • Chat via Sov Upgrade for all or only shub blues? For all means locals pay for hostiles to have intel, only for shub blues means locals have a massive tactical advantage.

How about we just leave local as is, leave the level playing field for everyone and instead focus on catching people as we’ve done for 22 years.
