Right now, the Commerce and Bar tabs highlight when ANY ship docks with the station. That includes the heaps and heaps of NPCs that completely disappear the moment they dock. The feature is completely useless and most players tune it out entirely.

My suggestion is to change that to only highlight when another player docks or undocks or future persistent NPCs you can interact with dock at the station.

There's a reason why the prox alert has an NPC/No NPC toggle.

+1... I compulsively check it every time it turns red, even though an NPC convoy might be docking, just so it is the same color as the rest of the UI...

And the bar should have more stuff to do than just another chat.

Yeah but none of that would matter if nobody ever looks at it. :P

+1, but tied to user's option on Proximity Alert for NPCs.

FYI, the OP suggestion should be going into the next release. It's already implemented, but I don't think it's released.

As to "more stuff to do in the bar", I totally agree. There is an awful lot of "more stuff" that I would also like..

Thanks! :)
