Would it be possible to

1) special events also be reflected into the local demand list. Meaning if something breaks down because of piracy, and people will pay more for a phase array for instance to put this phase array as one of the items inside the local demands list. Minor, but part of creating consistency and maybe good once all the history/story content gets added.

2) add a newsreport when a frigate dies or spawns. Seems to me to be a sizable event in the little world of vendetta to get mentioned. Will also rid questions concerning when it will come back, if it is destroyed etc...

But as I stated, these are very minor things. But as always a lot of minor things change the perception and the agrevation a lot in a game. Not to mention that it just seems logical that at one time this will get added. I'm however not in a hurry.

cheers

I like these ideas. What I'm wondering now is, whether or not players will be able to post their own news in the near future sometime?

I suppose what could drive this would be a subscription based service... a player, or group of players, runs a "magazine" of some sort, and other players can purchase (and rate!!!) it. The cost would only be a few credits, of course, nothing big. But it would be important towards creating an incentive to do it.

One problem I see with it is that there will be some people who will try to abuse the reporting system by filling it with garbage. There's a way to prevent that: make it cost credits to distribute. The more stations you want your "magazine" sent to, the more credits. And then, if it's still bad, players can rate it really low. With enough low ratings, it'll simply "disappear" or something similar.

Idk, just a thought. :)
