I say make it so that you won't appear on local chat unless you post something on the channel. Delayed chat mode basically. But then again, why not make it like Eve high-sec local chat? If you're in the system and there are 5 planets and each planet has like 4-5 districts, I doubt it would matter if you can see someone in local.

For private and corp channels currently if I recall correctly for Dust. But again, this is Legion we're talking here.

Would seem likely. But it will likely be a very open-type instance in which anything you do in one instance will invariably affect nearby instances. For example, if you attack a key material harvesting facility in one district (instance), it will mean less materials available for the nearby instances to work with. Think of Jita and Perimeter being affected by the market that's going on in the Jita system.
Instances that are exceedingly far away from each other can also affect each other. Think of how the Jita and Amarr star systems (one in The Forge region and other in the Domain region respectively) affect each other via the market and that certain systems along the trade route such as Niarja and Uedama are used by high-sec suicide gankers to catch unsuspecting haulers with phat lewts by surprise.
Balle is another common gank system when it comes to catching high-sec haulers that are on their way to Dodixie. I was in a gank group one time where I was in a cloaked blockade runner while two other players in a Tornado and a scout ship. We spotted a hauler one jump out coming in with over 800 million ISK worth of Datacores. The Tornado got into position, ganked the hauler upon jumping in, her Tornado got Concorded but the target's loot dropped after getting alphed by the nado while I came in with my blockade runner and then snatched the loot then warped to station immediately. Text-book gank was successful. Unfortunately, since the loot drop is chance based, only 220 million of the 800 million ISK worth of datacores dropped in the loot but we still earned enough to pay for the Tornado with more then enough left over to give everyone 55 million ISK each as part of their share.
Oh I'm sorry. I got caught up in the moment.

Probably not at the moment. I'm still of the opinion that local chat in Legion should be delayed chat or just regular chat like Eve since it won't affect the local Legionaries who have to scout through multiple planets in one system and each planet has multiple districts. This is completely different than how it affects Eve players.

Free intel is useless if you don't know where the player is at in that system and you're unable to find him. I would understand what you mean if this was Eve since there are already tools in place to find a player, but this is not Eve. This is Legion.
But even if local chat was set to delayed mode where you don't show up at all unless you say anything at all in local, it will only be a slight inconvenience to the scouts if CCP ever goes ahead and allow Legionaries to gain access to Locator Agents.
