Griff did a script for applying Carrier logos to CargoPods - perhaps that could be scripted to apply ads - so the edible poets Ad would imply food in the cargo pod...

Interesting concept.

I believe the problem with this cool idea is that there is no cargo in the pod until you scoop it and then it could be anything. I think it was talked about in another thread but not sure.
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

Which is why I kind of implied it would need to be scripted cargo rather than game engine created ones... :wink:

As it's a Motorsport weekend - F1 and MotoGP, I find myself watching the Ads whizzing past in the background almost as much as the race itself!

Silly, as ever...

I could imagine a parallel ad with the more scientifically correct version "Nature hates vacuum".

This all makes me wonder what the Creationism Vs Evolution debates must be like in the Ooniverse :shock:

Not much of a debate - We know Oolite evolved from Elite, but it had a Creator and he was called Giles. Everybody wins, everybody's happy!

Bit of a story behind this sign, every day on my way home from work I go to the station to catch the bus, and 50% of the buses going by have this sign on them, and I think to myself; "I've just been SNIS'd"

"Sorry, Not In Service"

Because even sentient billboards need time off.

Excellent - ADCK! As ever, one takes inspiration from wherever one can find it.

I see a lot of signs with:

"Sign not in use." - which I'm sure is a logical inconsistancy.

or

"Sign under test." - which just has me asking the question "What test?"

:wink:

Cheers,

Drew.
