' Wrote:On the other hand, if there's a faction event that you're slightly late to, that lets you see exactly what each side brought so you don't bring a capship to something that's mostly fighters or a fighter when they badly need a bomber.
I agree, but most of the time that's not what it's used for. Usually it's an OORP "I need to know what that Outcast in my system is flying so I know what ship to kill him with" type of situation which is silly.

If that was the case, I could stop shooting just about everyone.
In that case he told you what he's flying. He made the conscious decision to let you know. That's really different than people being able to see what you have without your permission.
I love the list, I hate the fact that it has ship types listed. I admit, I've used it. I've used it for exactly the same OORP meta gaming situations that I hate the list for. It's there, its legal to use, so I do. I'm not so self righteous that I'll avoid doing it just to prove a point. Still, I don't think it should show ships.
