@ CANNON - Idea

[ophidian]

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.
