Line 135:

If Local has other people in it but only a few then, while moving around a system checking for targets or threats, you can also be assessing who those people are, by double-clicking on them in Local's member list and checking their corporations, alliances, and employment histories. If there are five other people in local, three combat ships on scan, and three of the five people in Local are in the same alliance, this is obviously significant information to pass on!

If the rest of the fleet is not immediately busy in combat, you can ask to have someone run one or more characters from Local through [ ~~zKill~~ https://zkillboard.com/] and report back on whether they are primarily PvE or PvP pilots, what types of ships they regularly fly, and even details of recent ship fits. Drag the character name from Local into the fleet chat window to create a link your fleetmates can use, then add the request on comms ("Can someone run zKill on this guy, please?"). An organized hunting fleet sometimes designates a player for this purpose, and in a large fleet the scouts and FC might use a separate intel text channel to deal with this.

Potential threats or targets will probably, of course, ''also'' be watching Local, and are likely to spot ''you'', which is one good reason to be as fast and efficient in checking a system as possible.
