We need more signage and posters

Dojos are in a very large need for signage, informative images, and frankly, things to cover the walls.

We currently have all but nothing in terms of signage and informative imagery.  We are limited to using small, almost unnoticable, holographic signs right above the room's console to relay all information.  It would be nice to be able to have a better way of communicating things like layout notications (examples: "research halls this way", "arena to the left", etc) and other information.
Here are what I think we need in terms of signage and signage related things:

Spoiler
  • Making each door innately having a holographic sign either right above the doorway or on the door itself.
    • These signs do not appear unless they have text assigned to them.
  • physical wallmounted signs that are parallel to the wall.
  • physical wallmounted signs that stick out perpendicular to the wall.
  • free-standing floating physical signs of various sizes.
  • free-standing floating holographic signs (allowing you to walk through them) of various sizes.
    • allows you to put message right in the face of people right before they enter something.
  •  free-standing message/forum board.
    • I'm sure larger clans would find a use it useful for information management within their clan for things like:
      • allowing lower rank players convey information to the top-brass if they are not on at the same time.
      • allow mini-guides and other useful info to be effectively physcially stickied.
      • arena tournament schedules (if people do that)
  • a blinking light that can be toggled by higher-ups in the clan.

 

Another good idea is making these signs also be capable of being posters, much like those in our ship.  These posters could contain, among other images, basic informative signs like "do not enter", "under construction", etc.
Here is my overall (perhaps too comprehensive) idea for using signs / posters.  This was designed to save space in the current decoration menu:

Spoiler
  1. You select the decoration
  2. Move it around, generally scale it, etc and then place it where you want it.
  3. Press 3 to bring up modified version of the poster image select/edit GUI in our ship to change the dimensions of the sign/poster (changing the height and width independantly), move image around, zoom on image/text, etc
    • GUI options include:
      • Image / Text Field Select (allows you to select an image from a library or select "text field" to just put text)
      • Text Field contents
      • Size: Width
      • Size: Height
      • Offset Horizontal
      • Offset Vertical
      • Scale / Zoom
      • Filter
      • Apply

 

Keep in mind that this was made the way it was to save space in the current decoration menu.  

If the decoration menu were redone to have different tabs like flags, functional (trading station, treasury station, ascension altar, teleporter, etc), trophies, floor decorations, signage / posters, etc; then you could just have a 3 or so different shaped signs per type needed and maybe 5-6 different shaped posters and more or less use the exact same system that we already use in the dojo (allowing dimensions to be realized normally simply by scrolling), along with basically the same poster-image select/modification GUI from our ship.  This would probably be easiest to do.
