As the sovereign owner of a system I want to be able to setup messages based on pilot standings that will popup in the new notification system whenever someone comes into a system.

So if you're a neut and you enter system x from any gate you'll see a message saying "Hi there, we shoot neuts" or "feel free to dock and follow this link to see the laws of our system"

That same system will have different messaging if you're a red, "This system is owned by 'X' and you are red to us, beware" etc...

This will help new players and veterans alike communicate and potentially enable the freeport and NRDS methodologies that may allow for trade hubs to spring up in null after the new changes come out.

Obviously players can opt out of these messages in the new system but it would be nice to be able to tell people that when they enter a system they are safe to dock and buy things at the station or warn them that they are now set to red and should GTFO before they get themselves swatted.

Just an idea, I'd love to get feedback.


No. Completely removes human error. Additionally this will allow you to cover systems you are not actually in and get information about hostile fleets. There is already a mechanic for this. It is called intel channels, locator agents and not being **** at the game. This is just allowing SOV owners to have lazy pvp. With that noted -1.


You obviously can't read if you could you would have understood what I was proposing.

It's intended to communicate to all pilots that come in so as the owner of a null sec system you could create a freeport ie open trade hub in null sec.

You're only looking at the pvp aspects and not thinking about this as it's intended as a way to communicate with people that enter your system automatically.


I understand the intention, I just don't like it.

You can communicate to pilots that your system is a trade hub, etc. by placing containers, etc. near gates. Null needs to be more dangerous, not safer. Your suggestion simply makes it safer and easier to fly through null, which is the exact opposite of what EVE needs.

How would it make null safer. How. Seriously how. It's a message. Saying that it'll make it safer would imply that naming your stations make null safer or that like you said anchoring a container would make it safer. you're lost bro.

it's just messaging no different than billboards an yes like anchoring containers. This would be a more formal less ghetto method of communication between system owners and the pilots that fly there.

Actually kinda simple nice little change. Certainly much nicer and elegant than lol containers with names.

Dont really see how it makes anything safer...
Especially since most people doing anything in null, generally travel with an overview tab that doesnt show containers.

Eldwinn... did you even read it. Like really man?

NRDS? What is this you speak of? NBSI is the rule of the land.

NRDS is only like 5% of 0.0 space... honestly that might need to change to stabilize the game with these changes.
