I was doing some logistical work earlier today, and while sorting through my hangers to delete junk and consolidate useful things, I was confronted with hanger after hanger of one item: A Velator! I had to go through all of these hangers and delete these little guys one at a time, which was quite tedious. Looking at my other toons, even the less heavily played ones, the same situation occurred.
Now, while it wasn't hours of terrible labor to delete the ships and clean my hangers, it was a good 10-15 minutes opening, deleting, closing, and refreshing hangers to get this done. Plus, they will be back within a few months, as I travel by pod and get popped and dock in new stations. This is work that adds nothing to the gang, and is nothing more then a unnecessary grind. Therefore, I would like to propose the following:
Add an option in the settings menu that reads... []Spawn a rookie ship in my hanger when I dock in a station that does not have another ship in it. []Prompt me whether I want a rookie ship to spawn when I dock in a station without another ship in it. [x]Do not spawn rookie ships.
Pros and cons as I see them.
Pros:
-LESS CLUTTER! Making you gaming experience that much nicer when pulling up your asset menu, searching for items, and trying to reduce the number of stations you have stuff in.
-An all around good change that CCP can make with what I assume would be little coding work and a nice tidbit to throw into a patch or expansion.
Cons: If people wanted a rookie ship(???) they would have to set the setting to spawn, and undock/redock. Or, to prevent this minor potential issue, just have a rookieship spawn when you turn the setting to 'on'.
Seems like a straightforward and easy change that would make the game better for most everyone that plays it with minimal resource use by CCP. Thought?

An "on/off" switch for this sounds reasonable.

Yes!
It would also make more space in the database for other things (even though the space isn't really needed now)

They could just make a rookie ship claim option somewhere in the station interface, so if you want one you ask for one.

Thanks for the thumbs guys, I really think that this is a nice, easy, uncontroversial improvement.
I'll update the OP with your thoughts, Klyeme and Reaver.

Yes this is an excellent idea, end the relentless spawn of rookie ships |

Don't worry about whether CCP can handle more coding work. They've been doing projects far more massive than most suggestions on this forum.

Originally by: Reaver Glitterstim They could just make a rookie ship claim option somewhere in the station interface, so if you want one you ask for one.
This is probably the way I would like to see it done myself. Just give me a button that says "Halp halp! Ai needz a shipz!" Or something. --Vel

Simple idea that doesn't hurt anyone and doesn't affect you if you don't want it to. Hmm I don't see anything wrong with it. Just depends on how much time it takes to develop. |

Supported, provided that there's a button in the Insurance Office for requesting a Rookie Ship in case the player changes their mind after docking. __________________________________________________ Survivor of Teskanen, fan of John Rourke. |

God, yes, please. I'm sick of all the damn mails from Pend Insurance telling me they just gave be a ship that has barely more tank than my pod and that aligns and warps slower than a pod. Yeah, that's just what I need.
A "Request Rookie Ship" button would be VERY welcome.

I don't know how hard it'd be to implement an option for this...I imagine you could make a prompt for pod. It'd be annoying but you could have the [] Don't ask me again possibly. The problem I see with this is that someone who has this setting may accidentally dock and need a rookie ship (for w/e reason) and not be able to acquire one.
I've fallen prey to the laziness of not cleaning up after leaving a station...and it really is laziness. Supported because I like being lazy, but good luck on justifying beyond that.

This idea gets a massive thumbs up from me. No more having to delete the dozens of noob ships on all my accounts would be great.

As long as you're always allowed to undock in a pod. Unless that's changed, then no. ------------------------------------------------
