> That’s a long post. And I agree. The ESS grid in it’s current form is abused as an on-demand safe space for roaming groups that is available everywhere within otherwise hostile space. The ESS grid means a safe space, in every system. I think that’s problematic. And to be clear, this is not about the ESS itself, or the grid inside the ESS. I think the ESS mechanics and stealing income from ratters is in a good spot. The problem is the Deadspace grid in front of the ESS gate. As I see it, th…

If you enter a GRID which has fixed rules like Deadspace it should be shown as an icon.

- You will be unable to light a Cyno
- You will be unable to warp
- You cannot warp to fleet members inside this grid
- You cannot warp to bookmark inside this grid
- Combat probes will bring you to the entrance
- Ship limitation is active

You can also add this icon for the Merc Den GRID and all other “specific Deadspace GRids”

### Lore wise you can pack this under:

> **A strange anomaly has manifested within the electronic systems of your vessel.**  
> Its origin is unknown. Even the most advanced experts can offer little more than theories, as the phenomenon appears to defy several established principles of modern technology.
> 
> Attempts to circumvent its effects have consistently failed. Whether this limitation is the result of some unknown physical law, an ancient technological remnant, or something far more incomprehensible remains a subject of intense debate.
> 
> **For now, the boundary remains absolute.**

This icon feature is available in:

- New Playerzone
- New Player Epic Arc
- Abysal
- Zarzakh
- Wormhole affects
- Faction Warfare
- Highsec Event Trade ins
- etc…

It is a major indicator if space has an affect on your ship.  
New player get very early teached and trained on it.

But we missing this feature for other places in space.  
And looking on the focus for new Players and make the game more informative i don´t get why we are have this for Deadspace grids.

Also if you know more places which their should be an ICON to explain the effects, this is your thread to post them so we can have them covered.

Nothing is worse than knowledge you need to search outside of the game or ask a VET to understand why you can´t do XYZ
