With the launch of the new deployable structures in the last expansion. I think one was missed. Throughout New Eden there are Billboards posted at the gates. Eye candy for some just may be the answer to a misused game mechanic. So many times Cans are used to send a message to any passer by. In fact this weekend FLY SAFE was written with Mobile Tractor units outside Jita 4. Now just imagine that a Corp or Alliance was able to post a message, Kill board or recruit any place that they own sovereignty Low/Null sec or rent a office High/Low sec. |

This is the wrong forum for suggestions, but I don't think it's a bad idea. Deployable objects are frequently used for posting messages and advertising, so it would make sense to have a deployable designed for that purpose. |

I've always thought this would be a great idea over the messages on anchored containers. |

Billboards are actually a feature that's ripe for a complete nerf. Getting rid of them altogether is a better idea.
Billboards should actually be part of the hangar environment, and otherwise the big screen in your CQ has all the mindless drek, and more, of a billboard anyway.

Im not really sure about the CQ. I personally dont go there its just wasted time not to mention the door has yet to be unlocked. The idea is putting advertisement where its to be seen and in the case of the Fly Safe in Jita this weekend annoingly seen. A killboard boosting the latest tears may look better than Quafe. |

Those screaming cans drives me nuts. I remove them from overview.
Ofcourse I then hit a gatecamp with a guy that has 1 anchorable can among all his jetcans. That single one decloaking me...
Since CCP allows can anchoring, billboards should be fine. Just... keep em in h-sec ok? |

If they are anchorable in space, everybody will suxdenly turn into a marketing specialist and people will start raging about all the crap on screen. "My Favourite Nerdling GÖÑ" - Marsha Mellow

Maybe have them be at the scale of a poco and require fuel and a permit to anchor and then have others be able to rent ad time on them.
Dont know, really tiresome to have space litter everywhere, this would at least minimize that. |

Can't you put a bit more thought into this?
Barely anyone will stop using cans even with such a horrible idea in game.
Why use one, when you can use both!

My counter idea was more on the level of "if we have to have billboards this is probably better."
I agree completely that people will always rather use the easy, free way to advertise. Unless you made that harder somehow, again not saying you should. Just saying. |

Would be a very cool feature indeed. You'd think that mega corporations operating within the empires space would have options to advertise (a lot).
Only question is how to prevent a gate or station from being completely swarmed with these things. My YouTube Channel - EVE Tutorials & other game related things! |

Oh yeah... Even more spam with useless deployables in space. After Depot PENISes we'll next see Billboard PENISes with actual depictions of the word in the hologram? CCP should instead introduce a Flu-shot-like vaccine that all the remaining rest of sanity can protect itself from this kind of daft ideas. |

When i have to chose between cans with adverts on them, or billboards with adverts on them. i chose billboards.
They are no more or less annoying than the cans that are anchored at gates and stations now. EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided""So it will be up to a pilot to remain vigilant wherever they may be flying and be ready for anything at any time" |

The only problems are that cans don't lag out the game as much as mass-depoting and mass-billboarding does, as well as that you don't see cans in 0.8+ ... well, probably that limitation will also fall with the summer expansion. So, I want my vaccine and my antibodies! Right now! |

Well, if it takes a second to load a grid with 100+ depots on it forming a nice phrase, then it is certainly not pleasant... |
