Ugh... The future of advertising is here!?!

I found this parked in the Ship design workshop on Origin 4 today. Soon, every starbase (and the skies everywhere) will probably be filled with these kind of things, and they wont just be limited to in game things (advertisement for real world products and services). I can totally see someone making a business out of this.

Unless we want the sky full of ads for Amazon, Starbucks, Capitol One, etc., this should probably be addressed. Nip this one in the bud, plsmktks!

Nah. They're fine.

I doubt we will be seeing advertisement for real-world services, but billboards like this are usually okay

I can see them cluttering the skies at developer stations, but player stations can simply charge advertisement fees and remove access permissions for those that don't comply. Reducing the spam. And if you think actual brands are going to advertise this way you don't know what you're talking about. Text chat spam bots have been around forever and I've never seen an ad for actual product in any game.
