Thank you for answering our devblog call! We will use this thread to collect submissions for the in-game public announcements that we are looking to implement in one of the upcoming updates.
When writing down your suggestions please make sure you clearly indicate the faction the line is supposed to be for and don’t forget to follow these simple criteria:
You can suggest as many lines as you can
Lines should not be longer than a couple of sentences
Lines must be specific to only one faction
Lines should be kept within the lore of EVE Online
Lines must be in English
Thank you for contributing to shaping the servicing infrastructure of space.
general suggestion for Gallente hangars: whatever you do, please don’t get rid of that voice that sounds suspiciously like Porky Pig. That was something you had way back in the previous station audio, then it was removed, and then it came back with Citadels. It’s my Favorite Thing.
Another general suggestion: if at all possible, please have at least a couple of the announcements in the faction’s in-game languages. That is, announcements in Napanii, Intaki, Amarrian, etc… There are definitely people in the RP community that could help translate.
“Would the owner of a Sebiestor-SKINned Hurricane, registration number 26139N3, please call Hangar control? Your ship has been quarantined due to fedo eminations.”
And while you’re at it, please consider adding the World News feed to the launcher, character select and/or Agency.
I love what you are doing, but there is something that maybe you can add in addition to that and I mean also change the interior of the hangars and the music of the faction fortifications so that despite being citadels they are the closest thing to a NPC station
All factions:
Unattended clones will be confiscated by the station owner
Attention freelancer alpha 1-1: you have a contact waiting in the bar
The undock is currently open for departures
Specific factions:
Today’s winner for the audio contest is (faction) citizen number 8675309
Caldari State: “No loitering.”

When you start messing around with a PA system you can do some really cool stuff; imagine announcements when a lot of people are docking/undocking in a short period, or an alert when weapon fire is detected near the station. Some specifics:
Fighting Nearby:
[Alert Chime] “Weapon’s fire detected in the vicinity, undock at you’re own risk.”
Incoming Traffic:
“We are experiencing heavy incoming traffic, arriving vessels may be delayed.”
Outgoing Traffic:
“We are experiencing heavy outgoing traffic, departing vessels may experience delays.”
