I know it’s not a suggestion but for me the audio from various hangar experiences in ED have always been my favourite. Sometimes I even playback the ambience using YouTube whilst at work - I find it relaxing. If anything, inspiration from those might help.
Upwells: “Have you thanked your station owner today?”
Gallente: “Please keep all drones docked during departure.”
Minmatar: “A friendly reminder that poly-isogen tape is not a replacement for qualified repairs.”
Caldari: “Miner 3471, please report the mining permit office for registration”
Amarr: Sermons in native language.
Strongly consider a mute option.
I don’t know how to word it, but a properly lored (isthataword?) announcement for impending downtime might be well received!
I want the Horde horn or something similar when we undock.
୧༼ಠ益ಠ༽୨ SOUND THE HORDE HORN ୧༼ಠ益ಠ༽୨
PLEASE PLEASE
Amarr stations: Some holy choir music
also eyeshadow drones, lipstick drones, and mascara drones
“Could the parents of the young girl by the name of Suzie come pick her up at the Casino”
Minmatar: Alright, everyone. We’re gonna try to fix this problem by rebooting the system. Again. [grunts] Hold on to something…
Amarr: Blessed be to all of our people as we kneel and offer our moments in silent prayer. (Or something like that.)
Caldari: Mandatory System and Personnel Downtime is being enforced in 5… 4… 3… 2…
Gallente: And now, a quick word from our sponsors! (Sorry, I really couldn’t think of anything…)
We need the Dust 514 announcements, no suicide in public areas and whether they’ve fixed that damn monorail
Minmtar: “Iron oxidized pod fluid requires specialist biohazard disposal.”
Caldari: “Station containers are not designed to be combustible. Station security requests that you do not attempt literal fire sales.”
Gallente: “Would the esteemed Caldari businessman on docking bay 3 please cease attempts to enter the Bestower. There is no drone bay on that hauler.”
Amarr: “Do not stare into the beam with your remaining good eye.”
Amarr:
“Public Service Announcement: New batch of healthy, subservient slaves are on the market. get a new one today.”
“Public Service announcement: Cattle and other food products must be healthy to serve their purpose.”
“Public Service Announcement: Slaves are like cattle, see earlier announcement.”
“Public Service Announcement: Only healthy offerings will be accepted by the high-priest in tomorrows ritual.”
Minmatar:
“To the owner of the the Rifters in Hangar 15: they are all on fire an will be ejected in 2 minutes”
“Concord is on the hunt for- I mean… looking to interview capsuleers. Please open the doors when they come knocking to reduce wear and tear on the door frames.”
“Given the frequency we have an important announcement: We do not allow building thrones made from the skulls of Amarrians in this station, you can do that in your own structure.”
Gallente:
“Boop, Bleep, Blip. Don’t forget tomorrow is Bring-Your-Drone-To-Work-day. Bleep. Blip. bloop.”
Caldari:
“Our latest sponsor of this station has a new message of the day: Work Harder.”
“Our latest sponsor of this station has a new message of the day: Mine More.”
“Our latest sponsor of this station has a new message of the day: There is a new and improved sponsor.”
“Our latest sponsor of this station has a new message of the day: The newest sponsor is much more laid back than the old sponsor.”
(then the earlier announcements repeats).
Minmatar FW stations (in female serious voice):
Remember: It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance.
Amarr:
Would the parents of the child who fell into the Slaver Hound enclosure please come to lost property to collect her shoes.
Interbus services provide free trading between Capsuleers. Avoiding contract fees!
Meta and Theorycrafting growing cumbersome? Purchase your Titanium Plated Cranial Shielding to increase length of Meta-Discussions!
For Trade hubs probably? the high traffic trigger would apply for promoting trading and the meta/theorycrafting
Minmatar:
- Add more welding sounds
- add the sound of ducktape being pulled off a roll lightly in the background.
Minmatar Hangars:
Would the owner of the Leopard with the registration LS1337 please come to Hangar 69 as its attacking the docking crew.

“Pilots are reminded not to engage in unlicenced isk doubling schemes and that all items are sold as seen”
“Please take extra care during our renovation works”
Amarr:
“Ship polishing service is now available on deck 4”
It isn’t exactly what you want, but may I suggest alternative voices for the “Docking Request” announcements, including at least one with a Scots accent, for the authenticity.
Also a general “Cluster Shutdown Imminent” announcement, again for the realism aspect.
And for Sisters’ stations: “The Sisterhood thanks you for supporting our work in relieving the galaxy’s
ills”
Minmatar:
“Attention Minmatar Pilots- there is a Blue Light Special in Isle 4: Buy two rolls of Duct Tape and get an extra roll for free.”
