Selling ads on the news reports
How about allowing ads on the station news reports? Many of the “news” features are either old, or phony, and this reduces a player’s tendency to use this feature.
The ads could be bought by characters and offer such things as mentoring services, manufactured goods (well widow makers is about it so far) escort services and anything else game related that the characters wanted to advertize.
Use of this news feature could be taught in the training area to new players and would help them find mentors and make contacts with other players early in their game “careers.” It could also turn escorting convoys in gray space from a hit or miss sort of thing into a full fledge business/player path.
A feature like this would fit well with one of the central ideas of VO, player interaction.

As someone who does advertising for a living, I think this is an excellent idea and should be implemented IMMEDIATELY.
I have prior experience with VO advertising selling HoverBoy Mk. IV chairs, PyroCo energy drinks, and also writing what can only be described as "God's Own Perfect Ad Copy" for TGFT during the early deneb runs. All of the products and services I have advertised for in Vendetta have been unqualified successes. Why not hire LeberMac for your advertising needs TODAY?

More ideas.
A “wagon master” could offer real convoy services to players by means of the ads. He/she would put together a team of experienced fighters, an EMC person and perhaps a swarm of new players looking for their first gray space experience.
Traders could then sign up for the convoy and the whole flying circus would launch into gray space at a time and place determined by the wagon master.

Wow! If we get this idea going I know I would hire you.
I use the plug in that provides a news ticker at the bottom of the screen when I am in a station and your graphics interspersed with the trade reports would really add to the whole "feel" of the game and make the trade environment seem more real.
Outstanding work!
