On a more serious note... there's nothing that can be done with "Long Range Scanners", which is System Chat view.
As it was discussed many times however, the majority agreed (and still agrees) that System Listing is used mainly to achieve the activity and it can't be replaced with, like someone proposed one day, Liberty instead of given systems, because it would mean serious problems. If we had like 20 systems or over 400, this would work.
On the other hand, logging other char is gray area here. If player a trader and there's no activity for his pirate char, he is trading. But if he sees trader, he logs pirate... While it might be picky a bit, I think it's a bit more healthy for RP encounters than silent traders all around.
Of course, given pirate player is not "10M or dai".

While I can agree on your iritation, I must point you out the golden rule of Discovery forums:
Under no circumstances forum trial is allowed or tolerated.
If you truly believe something is not right, do the proper request to the report subforum, instead of making a thread that might lead to flame for both sides.

Don't. By signing to a forum, you are completely accepting its rules and agreements. It is clearly stated that forum trial is not allowed here, being already an offence to the rules that you agreed while joining.
Well, i also thought about limiting "long range scanners".
Ofcourse it would have its problems, but it would give more mystery.
It takes out a lot of the suprise when you already know, there are pierats waiting for you.
Well yes, i think it would be more exiting to get pieratted then to know they are there.
But well i guess it cant be done, so if its talked about a lot already, then forget it.

As I said, it's a really tricky thing here. Discovery as a game is pretty big, spanning around 100 systems and in the lowest peaks just 30 players with up to 150 in the highest peaks. Showing areas instead of systems would simply kill activity. We aren't EVE Online.
There's precedent for sanctions based on metagaming. In this case the sanction seems to have been more due to the player involved gloating about it by PM afterwards. 'Being a dick' seems to have been the bigger offence than using the list, honestly. Make of that what you will.
hmmm if you set the number of characters one can have then? to say for instance 2? and they need to be logged in the forum to be able to play with? That means all hafto stand for what they do ingame? Fair?
And also allow only 1 account per IP?
That would halter the metagaming i think.
Yes i was thinking about that too yust now.
Maybe matagaming isnt that bad!(?)
I mean it gives a lot of activity, and interaction.
I yust got the idea but i think matagaming is really fine.
Otherwise we would probably never get Disco rolling...
Now you know where to be, and how we otherwise get interaction in this huge space?
So i think you are right Fluffyball.
