Is it possible of the mod team and would be a good idea to Disable the player loction on the chat screen?
Player Group Rank System
John.Doe 34 59 Unknown<<< this means for all players
I think it make Disco more interesting and have more of surprise factor. Also scouts will have more of a purpose. It easy at the moment being able just look on the chat screen to see if any one is in a certain system.
Give me your feedback please.:ylove:

Both your avatar and sig annoy me greatly, but I'd support this idea:D
Halts one time of powergaming, at least.

No like.
I don't want to spend half my time flying around empty systems looking for people.
Why don't we have less of "disable this so people can't do this" and more of "leave this active, just don't use it to metagame"

Sorry but I:
A) want to know where my group members are
B) want to know if im wasting my time trading if there is a HUGE battle going on somewhere.

A) you still can communicate with youre group members
B) Well, this is one the reasons this should be implemented.

But people are here to have fun! Not to fly around in deserted systems looking for the big battle.

Where the fun in Locating someone when you know what system there in?

A) Yeah but thats sort of...tedious you know. Having to ask all the time where people are, what if you have a group of about 10 players? People would start announcing when they are jumping through systems and people would have to write it down on paper as an update >.>
B) Thats not meta gaming as such. Its just choosing between a grind or potential RP/PVP/fun. Thats why where here right? To have those 3 things (each in moderation)
So i'm still against it sorry. It might quell a bit of meta gaming, but it would create more problems than it would fix :laugh:

A) Get teamspeak, where you actually speak to other players and not have to type every 5 seconds.
Please close this thread, pointless trying to talk to the "clique".

It would turn the game into chaos.(I wouldn't like to jump my Nyx into Tau-37 while not knowing theres some 15 Outcasts there, probably sniping the jumphole).
So, no.
