Station history and some more RP suggestions

Nov 01, 2010 pirren link
Already suggested in other form, but, I'll bump the idea.

+ Write different history/information for every station. Or make it editable for PCC participants, so they can submit their own stories for objection.

+ Make every station unique with at least one PCC mission. (trade/combat/clandestine/etc.). So, for 50 stations, we'll need not too much, only 50, at least easy and short missions. This will make every station more unique.

+ When pilot docks with station the welcome screen pop-ups for 5 seconds with brief information on station, reporting faction standing to pilot + countdown.

Example message:

Greetings %pilot! Welcome to %station, %nation.
Your faction standings are Neutral, +38.
Please wait until security system accepts your vessel.

..Initializing [Countdown: 5..4..3..2..1..0]
Access granted.

Maybe include a checkbox for "don't show this message again", and then a way to reach it from within the station.

I'd prefer to see it as some sort of traffic control...

Before docking, aim at a dock and hail. Station responds with clearance to dock, or refusal and guards.

Make convoys also request docking clearance using sector chat.

Instead of 5sec annoyance, make it non-obstrusive, simply add it where now displays faction facts (Commerce/Welcome).

I don't see that every station should have a unique history. Two barracks stations in same nation system can have exactly same history, just changes its name. See "master prospector".
