 ====== Encounters ======
-An **encounter** is a local who approaches a pilot after a landing at a Hub or City and offers a [[components:rumors|rumor]]. The offer appears as its own entry at the end of the [[components:radio-menu|Radio Menu]]; the pilot picks the kind of site the rumor should lead to or declines. Encounters are how new rumors reach the world.
+An **encounter** is a local who approaches a pilot after a landing at a Hub or City with an offer. The offer appears as its own entry at the end of the [[components:radio-menu|Radio Menu]]; the pilot accepts it or declines.
+Encounters are switched off for now. Locals no longer sell [[components:rumors|rumors]], and new offers are still to come.
 ===== When a local appears =====
-Locals only talk to pilots who stay on the ground for a moment, and only where the Settlement trusts them: the higher its [[components:trust|Trust]], the more likely an encounter, and a Settlement in unrest has nothing to say. Landing again and again at the same place does not bring more locals. A local only has something to tell while a rumor slot is free.

 The offer stays open for a short while and disappears on takeoff. **Show message again** repeats it.
-===== Paid leads =====
-Where Trust is high, a local also offers a precise lead for 1,500 [[components:credits|credits]]. It leads to the same kind of site, but its search sector is narrower. Paying needs a linked Discord account.
