Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So, most solar systems just have "solar system" in their description.

This is boring.

So why doesnt CCP have a lore team or somewuch write up a couple paragraphs in some and voertime perhaps all the systems describing maybe how that particular system was settled, how long ago, interesting things that may have happened, roles that system played in the development or downfall of a or part of a nation.

So that as you fly through space, you can get kinda mini-chronicles or little articles to piece together smaller stories that play a part for a bigger narrative.

Like maybe have scattered paragraphs here and there in amarr and some minmatar space chronicling a famous Amarrian admirals rise, and eventual fall in a war, and maybe in some other systems have snippets of logs from original explorers.

I dont know, just stuff to make it a little more fluffy, something to pass the time as you warp from system to system all day.

Not for all; that would be over the top and require too much work (I know how difficult it is to come up with a good, non-repetitive description for just a couple dozens of systems). Creating unique descriptions for 2,000+ systems (high sec and low sec only, 00 doesn't need them), can be very difficult.
Some systems already have descriptions, such as Amarr, EVE Gate or Lower Debyl.

But a couple of important/land mark systems (not including Jita, as it's only "important" to capsuleers, not to the world of EVE in itself) could do with a description around their history or current role.

Maybe make a place to submit descriptions for systems kinda competition style. people who can some up with the best descriptions win and get their descriptions added for the system they wrote them for.

+1

systems of significant worth like media covered fights? trade hubs?
would be cool to read a discription of a system to learn there was a huge fight there. and when new ones happen they get updated to include those fights. would really ad to the history of the game. would make exploring to see tourist spots fun. like b-r, hed-gp, 6-vdt. caldari prime. and other significant lore systems from the books/lore.

outsource the project to the EVE community - get the ISD's to narrow down the options, CCP selects the winners from a chosen few.

You could do descriptions of Null sec systems based on events that happen. Like the massive fight that just happened. That way you have player made lore as well. :P

That is not really a description. It would be cool to have that info, but I think hat would be better for its own tab rather than the descriptions tab.

Then a turn it off function like there is for *everything* else.

I think this is such a good idea at it would do away with much or the boredom in EVE, escpially that this can be player made through competitions. Thus the idea deserves a bump.
