The player list experiment

[LuckyOne]

Otherwise, the issue is that people may just spend too much time blindly jumping around. I transported 100k units of gold in the gold event and I got pirated/stopped a total of 0 times on a predictable route, not having to stop once. Not sure how this would work if people did not even know I was coming.

There was barely any pirating in the recent event because the lawful side just roflstomped every attempt of doing it by running 5-10 player convoys all the time. No sane lone pirate would take those odds. And there are few groups focused exclusively on piracy. And the piracy has a big stigma because of butth??? silent traders that used to whine a lot in the past, so it's now frowned upon and generally not enjoyable.

On topic, this idea pops up from time to time, but it would just hurt the probability of interactions without tools that would replace the ability to find when and where people are flying somewhere. The recent changes with the cruise speeds and the cloaking devices are spot on, now there's a decent incentive to use them, and piracy in the same system is actually possible.

If anything this idea could work in a limited fashion as Haste said. Maybe make it only show region when someone is hiding in a nebula/asteroid field?
But that would only lead to less usage of the cloaking devices > less people gaming to collect materials / credits to build them.

The mod has made incredible gameplay and technological strides in the past couple of patches, but maybe it's simply too late. The community has been poisoned by the years of toxic interactions so that they just prefer to play in their own little corner of Sirius and not interact with anyone who is known to be an asshat.
