A new FL Hook idea.

[VoluptaBox]

For a jumphole, might be a bit odd. Jumpgates could work. But I like it 8|

Jumpgate : Ship access in 4...3...2....*****rebooting******

You: Oh come ON!

Jumpgate: Gate on line, Docking, NPC only.

You: WHAT? Let me in!

Jumpgate: .......Pay 100,000 credits please.......

You: You got to be kidding me!

Jumpgate: Im pirating you....

While it would be odd for 'talking jump holes' to exist, I do like it for Jump Gates.

However, this could be interpreted as another "put warning signs in front of top secret guard systems" idea.

Let's put it like this.

The gate or jump hole aint talking it's your navigation computer giving you a message of the current state of afairs.

For alaska just put,

::Onboard navigation computer::
::Looking up data for this system::
Beyond this point is a unmapped system located in the veninity of Liberty.
Only authorized personnel admitted.
Anauthorized personnel might be treated with hostility by authorized personnel or any unmapped data inside of this system.
::End of found data::

It's not that the jumpholes have actual IFF's; it's that there's a tag assigned to them on the Neural Net. Your ship's computer would recognize the fact that the public database has been marked by the military. It's just similar to signs by a restricted are.

Someone (forgot who) had the idea to put a boey in front of certain jumpholes that say certain things (for example "restricted military area... trespassers will be shot" when you scan them).

I think that idea would be better, because it doesnt require extra gimmics, and it makes more sense to have a boey telling oyu something than to have a jumphole telling you something.

Unfortunately, in a way that can not be explained rationally but only by the warped psychology of this community, the other guy's perfectly reasonable and easy-to do idea got stomped down by "disco vets" who rather said "shut up noob" than try to think around a single corner and understand how good the idea really was.

But IRP, it's easy to shoot buoy down. In the far future, all ships navigational computers in sync with the internet will be able to have public access to things like this.

I like the buoy idea, it's less intrusive.
