- Make it more persistently and visible for owner key

- Remove alarm for user keys. Kinda fun when user key holders massively run to look what is wrong with the station after one turret is damaged. Owners can notify userkey holders themselves.
(Message sounds little weird too: "Your station is under attack!", when this station doesn't belong exactly to them. Maybe change it too: "Owner's key name" is under attack.)

Let the station owners organize defense with their own hands: call for help, defend their station, write plugins for bots, oh whatever!

So, the suggestion is just to make notifications go out only to owners, and not users? This is a step backwards. If anything, make it an option that owners can set. If you don't want people with user keys to get notified, that's up to you, but the rest of us shouldn't have to setup a bot to emulate the current functionality, which is exactly what would happen (as we saw before notifications were introduced altogether).

Or make it optional for both parties... if a key holder is uninterested in stations, which sometimes happens, they can turn the warnings off

Another alternative is to have station warnings posted in a specific channel that you can join or leave

But otherwise, this is a huge step back: personally I love the new system, because THE OWNER CAN'T BE ON AT ALL TIMES!!!

That's not step backwards. That's correction of current alarm system! Owners need to care about their station, defenses and call for help, but not all online key holders. If you want everyone get alarmed - give them owners key :}
Btw we should strict owner number to 2-3 people totally.
Or put infoboy in station that will inform you via online messengers: "Heeey, Strat, stop working, come online! Your station is under attack again!!".
Now the situation is you can put infoboys [read:miners or hiding traders] somewhere deep in mining sectors, grinding their mining lvl and w8ing to receive "Your station is under attack." message.
I suggest these infoboys sitting in the conq station sector. At least it'll be more real and we'll know their faces.

The more minuses you put, the more reasonable looks this suggestion, because you're the one interested in 1001 defenders-infoboys army.

As amusing as this is, I dont completely agree. While perhaps everyone who uses the station shouldn't give a shit, the option should be there for them to be notified.

I agree with Spence.

I agree with ryan.
