Hello BlackWolf,

It's been a bit quiet in the in-game advertising market over the past few years. If you get inspired and come up with some decent ads, I promise to include them into Station Ads, YAH! and Market Observer.

Do you have a specific size that they need to be?

As I recall, 256x128 is the size required.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

An idea that was mentioned before:
You need a few Wanted posters mixed in with the ads - something that I think was mentioned when YAH was first being done. GalCop's most wanted list, perhaps?

I was think about that a few days ago.
There is a list of GalCop's most wanted, not sure if the bounty prices change or vary from game to game, but definitely on it.
Is there some way to get the list other then while playing, like a copy?

YAH uses paired 256x128 or 128x256 ads. Some of the ads are designed as pairs, while others are just individual ads quite randomly mixed.

YAH uses ad sets A-G+more_ads. Sets A-G are historically locked, and won't be touched. More_ads is always open for, eh, more ads.

Market Observer uses 256x128 ads that work as solo extracted from YAH.

Station Ads uses both 256x128 or 128x256 ads from YAH if they work solo. Horizontal ones are used as front ads and vertical ones as dock ads.

I seem to be maintaining them all at the moment, so this is easy :). More variation is always good.

I think GalCop's Most Wanted auto-generates its names - beyond my ken, is that.

We could have something called Most_Wanted_Ads OXP that would mix these ads to all aforementioned OXPs.

If you're short of names, you could perhaps sprinkle a few Commander names from the forum members list into the mix?

Good idea.
Of course other than, maybe human, I have no idea what they may look like so I hope no one gets offended if they end up with a hideous character pic. LMAO
