Possible solution to metagaming - VoluptaBox - 04-16-2011
No flame intended. I don't like the idea because of the reasons the other mentioned. If I'm going to roam, for example, through the omegas for hours before having an encounter....where's the fun?

Id like it to be more of a challenge to find people, or to have a nice suprise when im flying along (Or maybe even a bad one!), but not to the degree you describe, saying theyre in a house is just too vague.

I don't like 3 fighters,2bombers and 1 gunboat to be able to find me while I am in the middle of a mining run.
Voted Yes.
It probably won't get implemented anyway.:crazy:

No...
Is metagaming in this way really a bad thing? It might lead to ganks and unfair play, however it still leads to player interaction which, quite frankly, I don't see enough of outside of liberty/the super-populated systems/omicrons/etc. If you're complaining about this kind of metagaming whilst in these places, you should probably consider moving out.
I'm not sure about other people, but my opinion is simply that any player interaction is better than no player interaction. Hence, my vote. Yes you can talk to them, but in the end this will still have a negative effect on the amount of player interaction we see on the server.

Implement it and see what happens. Also, I agree that Discovery is having too much systems for it's own good.

I remember being in Alpha & watcing a Corsair fleet amass & about 10 minutes before all out war, pilots were popping up all over the place. Is this meta gaming, or just players looking for fun?
I think in this scenario it was players trying to have fun, but all chance of a surprise attack were utterly lost.
On balance I can sympathise with players wanting a war.
I have a good friend in notorious pirate group who said every time he went on, within 5 minutes all sorts of Navy & Police ships would log on.
To me this is an abuse of Chat.
[specifics removed so as not to flame]
This isn't an easy Yes or No debate, but on balance I side with reducing Chat's reporting facilities.
TLAGSNET would still be in operation, enhancing the role of Police RP.
If this can be toggled on & off, I think we should try it out.

Thats why its called discovery. What exactly reflects the player list in the ingame reality? SiriusBook online?
