I think the bars should play a bigger role in the game. Currently they are just a place to land in minefields and to scribble graffittion the wall (and ppl don't even read that anymore )
Here's one idea concerning bars as places of rumours:
- If you enter a bar, you can pay the bartender to tell you if a specific ship is in the galaxy right now (or was within the last 24 hours)
- Sometimes the info might be wrong
- Sometimes the target would be told about the inquiry
- Perhaps some alliance related information could also be spread this way ?
It would add a bit to the roleplaying of the game, but should make it easier to hunt, since it's already too easy IMHO.
More uses for the bars ?

Good idea.RandyOrsolo wrote:Maybe put the information of the most dangerous sectors there-where the most ship have been killed-because a bar would seem to be the place to hear rumours like that.
Also looking forward to hearing what Itchy was up to...

Could make it to where the read news tab on the page is not 100% up to date. You have to go to bars/ports/Hq's to get updated info. Hq's are 100% accurate and refresh your news feed. Ports are at 75% and bars are at 50%. If your out in the deepest parts of space do you really think your going to know in 2 seconds that someone died 4 galaxys away and who killed him?

Re: More uses for the bars ?
I like it, too. Add an extra strategic element, too.
Re: More uses for the bars ?
Why not take it one step further and allow for information or rumor purchasing?
Spend X credits to talk to the shady figure in the back of the bar: "I hear one alliance already has a level X planet"
Spend X credits to get the local gossip from the bartender: "I've seen a couple traders using this local route lately at around X time."
