According to this good idea found on reddit, CCP could change the bracket icon of stations that have items in it.

And while we were at it, people complained about the spam of noobships in stations when you dock somewhere in a pod.

So I'd like to suggest a potential solution : End the noobship spam as it currently exists. Instead, have a noobship always available in the redeeming system (not selected by default).

For the NPE, it could be a good idea to make a very short tutorial on the redeeming system: "Look, if you happen to loose all your stuff, here is how to get a free ship. Plus here is how to use the redeeming system".

Asset search, racial type, right click ship, trash it. The mail is more annoying but it's easy to dispose of items. And flying around with just a pod....stupid, comes with the news ship spam....fly a shuttle or frigate or a cruiser fitted a small buffer, better chance of staying alive and if you are cheap flying a pod than deal with the newb ship spam as it is as annoying as flying into a gate camp.

Shuttles are soo cheap as to essentially be free, I'd be surprised if you can find a station without any for sale.

As for The one's you already have, the solution above works about as well as any ,

They are cheap as chips but you can't always find one when you want one, strategically moving large quantities of shuttles around is something I quite often do.

What about instead of redeeming, there is a button that is enabled in the station menu when you dock in a pod. Giving you a choice.

Noobships can't be podded with a single maller.

Even shuttles aren't safe, 3 large smartbombs and 2 medium ones can kill and pod most shuttles that warp to gate at 0 and instantly jump, even when characters have tank skills at 5.

What's more its easy to do it and when I was testing it i managed to pod 24/25 shuttles 1 that i didn't was because i screwed up.

A Maller can fit 3 large and 2 Medium Smart Bombs ?

if it can that is still a 15 mil explosion to kill a 15k ship

The ship is not the target.

Also lets not forget the plex tanked shuttles and the shuttles that aren't empty.

I guess someone's bounty might be more than 5 times 15mil with equivalent amount of augmentations.

Isk is rarely the motivation in the case of smart bombers.

Nevil is a troll. Best to just ignore his comments.

With that said, if Rookie ships aren't freely given out constantly, I won't be able to acquire them as easily. There should be BPO's available for them, in that case (or BPC's available from Pend Insurance).

I'm not going to make guesses about motivation but logistical logic says no profit no occupation, short lived victory.

Then you have a lot to learn.
