  1. We have another Quaife Spill in the visitors’ plaza, please send a cleanup crew before it eats a hole through the deck.

  2. To all pilots and crews who are unable to access their ships due to the Quaife explosion, please be advice that cleanup is going to take a little while longer than expected, but we’re throwing in a free ship cleaning for those delayed.

I know the post said faction, but I’m recommending this one for a specific station known as Jita IV - Moon 4 - Caldari Navy Assembly Plant

  1. Pilots, please be careful of the debris as you are undocking, and remember to turn your shield and armor hardeners on before exiting the station.

  2. Today’s forecast: Pirate activity seems higher than usual, please fly safe as you exit the station.

Minmtar

  1. Visitors are advised to keep their oxygen mask on while visiting the station.
    (The lore being, the station could decompress at any given moment because its being held together by duct tape, willpower, and wishful thinking. Also works if the station is a factory station, with noxious fumes and such.)

I would like a selection of docking sounds that play when a ship docks to a station. Loudness should be related to ship mass and velocity. With a high enough mass there should be reverberation. So a battleship docking should override the current station announcement while a capsule should be subtle and nearly silent.

The intent is if you are docked in a station and going about your business (e.g. market or skill related activities) then there should be aural clues that there has been a significant change. Obviously Jita has so much traffic that it would take something spectacular to rise above the background noise. On a quiet station a docking of a shuttle could be a significant change in the station background sounds.

Please make there be a reason to listen to station sounds.

We need more cartoony sounding characters. Yosemite sam would be epic.

Minmatar: Caution, overuse of deruster may cause hull breaches.

Caldari: The memorial service for Commander Molari will commence at 0700

Galente: Please refrain from intercourse in the corridors as it impedes the cleaning droids, thank you.

Amarr: Mandatory prayers for the Blessed Empress will commence in one hour.

General: The shuttle now docking at bay (unintelligable) will depart for system (unintelligable) at (unintelligable). Passengers for (unintelligable) change at (unintelligable).

Note, this last is based on most of the station announcements when I commuted to work by rail.

Really you are missing a perfect opportunity to push home some basic eve teachings to new players.

“Pilots are reminded that insurance services are available in this station”
“You are reminded that Concord is only active in systems with a sec status of 5 or higher and may not be able to save you, even in HIgh Security systems”

but…
Amarr needs some almost Orwellian / state religion stuff
“Todays 15 minute sermon will take place at eleven hundred hours, no station services will be offered during this time, the theme is purity of the amarr bloodline”
“Remember - War is Peace, Slavery is Freedom, ignorance is Strength”

Gallente - Hedonism and advertising
“Buy Quafe, it’s great mixer for those low grade neurotoxin parties”
“Pleasure Hub 23; Where great nights become great memories, (if you stop early enough…)”

Mimatar - We have lost celebs that have to be name checked.
"John Rourke to Hanger 12, where you need to sign for a new “sailey bit”
“Bars on level 101 are current closed due to a protest held by the MGRL”

Caldari - No idea, they are so boring…

I’d just like to remind everyone making suggestions here to look at the in-station videos, that haven’t changed in years, that have no way to be TURNED OFF and after about 1 min 30 just become really annoying.

Does ANYONE really think listening to some actor repeating the same 20 second sound bite over and over and over is going to be anything more than just fuking annoying?

CCP Dopamine, I hope you are reading this thread and will respond to - How do you plan to implement these sound bites, will it be the same few played over and over, will there be an “opt out” button for those who don’t want to listen to the same pointless stuff every time they dock up - Can you not find a way to do something that might benefit the game with this?

NB; I really don’t expect a response - Devs will do this as cheaply as they possibly can and screw whether it is good or bad.,.

200 posts - And not one suggestion that contains something I’d like to hear - Every time i dock up for the next X amount of years.

If you don’t want to listen to them, I have good news: you don’t have to! There’s this thing called the “volume settings” that let you customize your audio experience however you like!

besides, I hear the warp sound and stargate jump sound and “docking permission requested - docking request accepted” like a hundred times a DAY and I’m not sick of them. So maybe the problem isn’t the audio, maybe the problem is your impatience.
