I think that 2 changes should be made to the current system.

1.) a Realm Msg box should be added that is visable when looking at the stat screen. This would be like the greeting or warning automated msg one would get when entering the players home system.

2.) The order planets appear in is randomized every time the name of a planet is changed.

The reason I am suggesting all of this is so that we will see an end to people naming their planets in a way so that they spell out long msg's.

but what's the problem with ppl using planets to spell msgs?

Besides my personal feelings on the intelligence of this practice, I think its a fairly safe bet that their names were not put there to be cosmic billboards. This would allow for a automated msg for those that would enter your space, and remove the need to name your planets in silly ways.

messages are good you can tell people if they steal your planets you will destroy them

Yup. Thats why I want a msg area. I dont want people to think I am suggesting to take something from people... just suggesting to add a msg area and remove the ability to make planet names in to msg's

what better way the get the point across then planets

Beh how would the server recognize a correct planet name from a short message?

It wouldn't.

But why are people making msg's out of planet names? Because they do not have a place to do a msg now. So if you add a msg area AND you make it so that planets can not be ordered and change order every time you rename a planet then it will be impossible to make a sensible msg out of a number of strung together planets.

well...randomizing the order is a definite no-no. Because then there would be no way of linking up planets in the spy logs with the raid list, if the person names all his planets the same.

Maybe make it so that all planets can not be named the same while we are at it.

With that we'll end up with Planet ID's xD

how much for the trigger happy cat?



anyway planet messages are better because its another use for planets i dont see your problem

I am honestly stunned that anyone is fighting this suggestion.

I suggest the addition of a spot for players to enter a msg for others to read on their stat page. I also suggest that maybe planet names be "planet namish", but people want to name their planets things like "you rethink it" or "I will rape you after this war" or "Im baaaaaaaaack from vacation ".

Ok
