Zundy Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Thinking back to games such as The Nomad Soul I was thinking it might be cool to have announcements over local comms (not the headset) in civilian areas (bar, cargo lobby, medical lobby etc) advertising various NT or other products ("The new LiteGlide prothestic from Zhu Medical. Buy now and get three fingers absolutely free!") Thoughts?
Guest Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 This would be a good substitute for minor events such as the vending machines breaking. Spit out a random advertisement every so often over communications.

Jboy2000000 Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Miranda Trasen Body Pillows. Id be down for writing this stuff again.

Jboy2000000 Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 It was. There was once a screenshot of the official CCIA announcement, but it seems to be lost to time.
Shadow Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 No, no Trasen bodypillows. If you are going to do this make serious ones. If I see any meme ads I will fire the entire CCIA divison.

VileFault Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Yeah, this sounds good. I think, to make it interesting, you could definitely take a fairly dystopic angle. It could help your average spessmen be more constantly aware of the oppressive presence of these powerful and hypercapitalistic megacorporations. I am thinking things like: "Do you often feel stressed, confused, or distracted at work? Ask your onboard pharmacist about Methylphenidate today! Remember: a productive mind is a happy mind." "We here at Hephaestus Industries understand that life in our vast cosmos can get lonely. Do long for companionship? The new Model 'S' Personal Artificial Intelligence is not just your assistant, it is your friend. Everyone needs a friend." "Hello, intrepid spacefarers! I am Vanas Peng, the CEO of Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. Here, we understand that nothing is more important than your health, which is why we have over 50,000 research personnel working around the clock to develop new and innovative technologies to keep you safe. That is why, when it comes time to chose medical solutions for you and your family, you should trust Zeng-Hu. Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals: building a brighter future, for you." Just throwing some ideas out there. I am sure whatever you do with it will be cool, if this gets accepted.
