Come on, guys, how about it?

How cool would it be to add a dynamic text scroller to the holosigns in Plaza and Via Rosso... I mean, you know, like at the outposts on their front entries? A npc interface would be used, type in a limited text message that'd get scrolled a few times over a span of time over several signs. Of course, there'd be a cursing text check to stop obscenity and a lot of spamming.


Let's say, like, 50k for a 50 character message to be sent out 5 times over 2 hours on the holosigns? 500k for a 100 character message to be sent out 15 times in 5 hours. In the case that there isn't enough orders, CityAdmin would put out propganda like *for reza, for neocron, for the people* and *obey the law* and *respect the copbots*. And of course, there'd be ads for the factions like *Where you go next, go NExT* and all that, with their faction logos!!!

This'd be PERFECT - a lot of RP and ambiance, tradeskillers and clan recuiters would love this! Come on people, please comment, vote, and rate!!!

spose it sounds good, but 50k is nothing and people with loads of money might just put stupid things

Fine. Crank the price way up. Like 500k for a messae to be shown 10 times in 2 hours or something.


It's still going to be a rather effective moneysink, a time-saver for tradeskillers and recuiting clans, and it'd give a HUGE boost to the ambience in plaza and Via Rosso.


neocron desperately needs more dynamic signs.
