Station environments in EVE are overdue for updates, and updates need to be made in synch with external events or new releases. Examples:
- Announcement messages and ads in EVE stations in general haven’t been updated in years. The same verbal messages have been playing since at least YC125 in some cases. If I have to hear the CreoDron message about " an old man in a hurry" one more time, I’m going to gank that old man!
- There is a lack of timely updates to station messages. Gallente Election ads are still playing some months after that event ended.
- The recent incidents around the Jita gates prompted absolutely no new messages in Jita 4-4 station that would have informed station residents about the status of the Jita system. It was like nothing had happened and everything was completely normal. It was a total crisis for Jita and yet nothing was stated inside the station. This type of attention to detail is important and helps maintain the game as a consistent environment. The fact that Concord took over management of Jita, also prompted no in station messaging.
- There were no in game station messages about Caldari taking over Syndicate, a huge political shift.
- There is also too much in station background noise. This is a hyperadvanced civilization and station environments would be quieter with only minimal machinery noise.
- Please get rid of those annoying drones that come in and laser my ship while its docked. WTF!
- I am currently in Dodixie and an announcment just mentioned YC125. The in game year is YC128 so that’s three years that message has been playing.
