Introducing: Electronic Billboards/Advertisments for OFs

[Thyrzul]

There is no written feedback for it, unless you want to dig through the shoutbox archive for it, but it basically it boiled down to non-newbies hating the message popping up every time they jumped into Penny. Since it wasn't just a few people frowning about it, I decided not to push the issue and risk it becoming a thing in multiple systems at a time.

The feature is currently being used to notify players about the contested system they just entered, and I don't really see anyone complaining about that either. I mean, I understand the difference is that in the case of Penn it was just an advertisement about lawful missions for newbies, but it still can and is being used for more useful things than that.

I, for example, could request a warning for players entering Roussillon about the special restrictions and laws of The Council related to the system, so they know what to expect and proceed with that in mind. That would end up in less surprised random faces getting blown out of the sky for illegal traversion because they did not bother to read the relevant forum post.
