So, most solar systems just have "solar system" in their description.
This is boring.
So why doesnt CCP have a lore team or somewuch write up a couple paragraphs in some and voertime perhaps all the systems describing maybe how that particular system was settled, how long ago, interesting things that may have happened, roles that system played in the development or downfall of a or part of a nation.
So that as you fly through space, you can get kinda mini-chronicles or little articles to piece together smaller stories that play a part for a bigger narrative.
Like maybe have scattered paragraphs here and there in amarr and some minmatar space chronicling a famous Amarrian admirals rise, and eventual fall in a war, and maybe in some other systems have snippets of logs from original explorers.
I dont know, just stuff to make it a little more fluffy, something to pass the time as you warp from system to system all day. |

Not for all; that would be over the top and require too much work (I know how difficult it is to come up with a good, non-repetitive description for just a couple dozens of systems). Creating unique descriptions for 2,000+ systems (high sec and low sec only, 00 doesn't need them), can be very difficult. Some systems already have descriptions, such as Amarr, EVE Gate or Lower Debyl.
But a couple of important/land mark systems (not including Jita, as it's only "important" to capsuleers, not to the world of EVE in itself) could do with a description around their history or current role. |

Get the pod, get the pod! "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"
Never forget. |

Maybe make a place to submit descriptions for systems kinda competition style. people who can some up with the best descriptions win and get their descriptions added for the system they wrote them for. |

systems of significant worth like media covered fights? trade hubs? would be cool to read a discription of a system to learn there was a huge fight there. and when new ones happen they get updated to include those fights. would really ad to the history of the game. would make exploring to see tourist spots fun. like b-r, hed-gp, 6-vdt. caldari prime. and other significant lore systems from the books/lore.

outsource the project to the EVE community - get the ISD's to narrow down the options, CCP selects the winners from a chosen few. |

Outsourcing would be a good idea, but at first, only Lore systems should be covered. The home systems of the four races would need to be the first to written, then move on to the rest.
My submission:
"Luminaire,
Originally the home system of both the Gallente and the Caldari who later evacuated their population to their space in the wake of the Gallente-Caldari War of YC??? ((Can't remember the timeline))
Gallente Prime is reknowned throughout the cluster for the city of Caille, the Gallente cultural and economical capital."
Finally, each described system could have a link to the relevant Wiki entry. In the beginning, there was pain and despair. And death. Immense tragedies and terrible catastrophies. |

You could do descriptions of Null sec systems based on events that happen. Like the massive fight that just happened. That way you have player made lore as well. :P |

how about rather than a story it gives you details like jumps in the last hr-24 hrs or how many stations in system. Similar to the details you can get on the Star map under statistics |

That is not really a description. It would be cool to have that info, but I think hat would be better for its own tab rather than the descriptions tab. |

It should be further extended to include short stories written by players readable and other eve media viewable, e.g. game atmosphere videos in the eve client. This and planet and star system descriptions could alleviate a lot of the boring parts of the game. e.g. repetive mining, mission shootout, warping and moving about ... |

I think this is such a good idea at it would do away with much or the boredom in EVE, escpially that this can be player made through competitions. Thus the idea deserves a bump. |
