On one of my routes I hit 3 bill boards as I come out of warp in my freighter. This brings me to a total stand still. Really annoying.
Can you not move them up by 2k so they are not directly in line between gates.

Personally I think they should all be 40km from the gates, so no-one can bump into them by accident when going gate-gate.
Also, a freighter with no instas?

I had the same problem, my indy got stuck on a bill board and looked like it was spinning like a top. |

Edited by: Gretchen Dawntreader on 29/07/2006 10:40:59 ahh didn't see this thread, I posted about the same about billboards in Vullat I always get hung up on. very annoying!
I just fly an Iteron V with expanders, but still get a bit stuck for a minute until it inches around it. I can only imagine how bad it would be with a freighter.
If they were 40km from gate no one would ever see them, and they are colorful...but still, say you got 5 gates in a system, draw a line from each gate to the other 4 gates and don't put the billboards near those vectors. How hard can that be. Plus, they really are kind of colorful space fluff...you can get bounty info elsewhere, and while it's interesting you can launch the browser by clicking on them, it is redundant except maybe from an RP sense...no not even a roleplayer would see the need to fly to a billboard to read the news. (leaving aside the flaws with the IGB.) So basically, they are a pretty bit of stuff, but they should always be positioned so you fly BY them and not THROUGH them!

They don't need to be solid objects, they can be holograms or projections from some gadget stuck on a gate you can pass through with no collision. Yes they are ******* annoying.

Billboard is a sentry gun. Removing billboard is removing a sentry gun. Are you sure you want a sentry gun to be removed? ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!

Does about 40DPS. Fairly inconsquential I think (compared to the other sentries)

They don't need to be removed, just re-moved so they aren't on the 3-5 approach vectors to the gate. There's a whole sphere at that radius they could be placed at, just please not at those exact paths from the other gates.
That should not be hard!

well why can't CCP just move the darn things like 1km from the gate, that way no matter what direction you come from, a billboard can't possibly keep you far enough away from the gate to keep you from jumping with ease, the completely unnecessary billboards can still remain just as unnecessary as before just not be an obstruction, and thus both camps are at least left feeling good that the problem is effectively solved.
beyond that, CCP could actually make the billboard simply an "attachment" to the gate itself, on the top, bottom, or off to one side of the gate. Again, solving the problem, leaving them in close proximity to the gate (being stuck to the gate is about as close as one can get really), pilots couldn't possibly get stone-walled from getting to the gate by the silly billboard since they could/would easily jump 2,000m before ever touching the billboard, so if you bump into it you are likely already in the process of jumping anyway and going at MWD speeds.

If you're at work, then travel time should be the least of your concerns.
