Hi Cannon, and other devs;
The discussions of Rule 5 made me think about this.
Most of the time, we are talking about indie players etc not following the forum RP, diplomacy or stuff.
Now, is it possible to implement an IN GAME PDA which is like the ones back in Privateer games and so, which contains basic information and updates regarding the ID players carry?
Like, Order ID has an Order PDA which contains the latest diplomatic decisions posted to keep every pilot updated as well as recent events going on (like bar news but strictly Order related and being up-to-date and not requiring people to go to bars or admins to constantly implement game updates).
Can this be done by some kind of update system that each faction / group leader / command group -> post to appear in game as txt added to the PDA?
Or, we can have bi-weekly or monthly updates to keep players "who are not able to find the forums" but who are "very well present in game".
Is such thing possible? If not, how close can we get to this kind of an implementation?
EDIT: Also, is it possible to have auto-notices pop up when entering to an ID owned system? Like when I enter Liberty with my trader, an auto message pops up (similar to the mission screen when you first go into space) and reminds me of general Liberty Laws etc?
Like I am a smuggler and I enter Minor, an Order message pops up saying the rules of Order space.

I like that idea, it would make a lot of things discussed in another thread a lot simpler.
Giving information to those that need it directly.
Isn't this what the news bullitins are for? Could we somehow have Factions with the ability to update them?
@ CANNON - Idea - ophidian - 10-29-2009
Added another idea to the first post.
@ CANNON - Idea - arvg - 10-29-2009
I am totally in support of this, it would save so many headaches!
@ CANNON - Idea - Tommeh - 10-29-2009
I like it aswell, both ideas, although not sure how is it feasible to do it.
This thing with ID PDA, it would require more work from factions, so I am not sure would anyone accept it.
But it can be made only for factions which wants it, and I think for factions like Order it would be great to have it.
@ CANNON - Idea - Exsiled_one - 10-29-2009
It would be awesome if faction leaders (elders etc) could message every player with their ID
Aka Corsair elder just sending an mass message to all Corsair ID players. how's that?
@ CANNON - Idea - Wuselkobold - 10-29-2009
There is already a command that shows the IDs of other players, so maybe a command like '/sendpm <ID> <message>' would work for now? There has just to be a way to restrict everybody from using it...
I like the idea.

Really good Idea implement it if possible
@ CANNON - Idea - reavengitair - 10-29-2009
Well, it's a good idea, but cannon has quite a workload.
There are so many things cannon has to do.
Give him a break sometime eh?:D
I'm sure he has a life.
@ CANNON - Idea - Akura - 10-29-2009
All in favor?
Aye!
Like it, Love it, /summonCannon
