Can we PLEASE get an option to turn off in-station billboards?

+1 To making these damn things optional. I can see the pausing in my game as the video bunny-hops along is exactly in sync with the radar dish on my scorpion freezing.

At least stop showing advertisements for Corporations/Alliances that are -10/-5 to the citadel owner. I don't really care to see recruitment ads for the enemy.

Attach a billboard display to every ship, so that when we look at ships in space we see the billboard ads too, flying around with the ships. Similar to airplanes dragging those ad banners.

Ads of their corp. And their alliance. And their coalition. And friends. And PLEX.

On every ship.

I kinda disagree with the masses, but please don't hate me for it.

if CCP is attempting to bring life to stations, create a more 'scifi' atmosphere, then they're going in the right direction but maybe not in the best way. (I'm aiming this at caldari stations)

- The hangars are really bright, feels more like i'm in heaven than a cool docking bay
- Maybe have the ability to be in a more communal bay? I'd enjoy seeing npc ships fly by me rather than the fishtank at the back
- Embed the display screens into the environment alot better, maybe clicking them power's them down
- Pilots are stupid, we can't fly straight. Maybe if arms were to lock onto our ship hull on entry... Now that sounds kinda cool.
- For those who like the current isolated bays, perhaps include them as a feature that requires a fee (nothing crazy, 1000+/- isk/day) and maybe with a few tiers corresponding to their size. I'd love a tiny bay that would barely fit my crane inside, it would feel really cosy. (And the largest bay used by someone in a shuttle, if they want to feel like a king)
- Im inside a Caldari station, I want to feel the pride of the Caldari State (Subtly of course). The only thing I see is two very sad looking C's in the middle (which doesn't make me feel like i'm part of something huge) and surrounded by a metallic grey that feels like one of them depressing 3D lambert scenes you have before you've textured anything. Sure Eve is what the players make it to be, but having a rich and active storyline running alongside can only be beneficial.

- And when all else fails, launch us out of stations on undock. As if we've been kicked in the ass by a moon-sized boot.

Sorry for the rant, all the best~

One big reason to use citadels: so you can dock and stay in outside view without having big flashing seizure lights while trying to do something else.

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

Obviously, CCP is starving for cash. Since they brought in the Free to Play model they will need to generate cash somehow. What's the solution? Selling advertising anyplace they can stick it. Get ready for Cialis and Viagra ads in on every billboard.

Unless they scrap this candyassed Alpha clone crap and go back to subscription only we are going to become more and more barraged by adverts.

Really though, they should implement a way for Omega clone class players to disable this stuff.

they should show highlights from random stuff happening around the game. if a fight starts or someone does a mission it random switches around and you see whats going on with other people for a little bit

This thread been bouncing around since April, CCP might ought to reassess their stance on hangar billboards. Just saying.

I don't oppose it per se, but I think the structure owner should have the optiont to decide on what stuff shows on their Citadels or whether to show the billboard at all or not. You should NOT be forced to show Ads you don't like in your own structure for which you have paid yourself & are taking the fuel cost.

Cheers Love! The cavalry's here!

I like the billboards. I want more of them. I'm just not a huge fan of what's on them.

I would prefer pr0n. Everywhere.

Is that a citadel I see? No. It's two girls doing . . . well, you get the idea.

pr0n. Everywhere. That's my recruiting work for CSM.

Make Billboards Great Again. With pr0n.

Thank you and good night. Vote for me for CSM.

I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon

Funcom put ads on billboards ingame in Anarchy Online back in like 2007. Those of us who don't want to see them ( they force them on you if you're "F2P" ) figured out the ad server address and added it to our computer "host" file. Voila, no more ads.
