There will be a lot of bugs when this is released to the open servers as there are far more players stressing the systems out. So be ready for them. Don't get me wrong, i love this step for the game (too bad Star Trek Online beat them too it) but I do hope not to see a few hundred threads about it being a crap expansion due to whatever issue.
That being said, it would be fully possible to access markets, fitting systems and agents through computers (futuristic internet) and comms systems inside your room. Leaving the room to check out bars, speak to agents in person or to check out any number of other aspects would just be an immersion factor (and would be pretty sweet when you are stuck station spinning). I wouldn't be surprised if CCP managed to make it possible to walk around our own ships (to a degree) as well...however i doubt that would be for a good while yet.
Good work guys, I'm amazed at your work from a programmers perspective and overjoyed to see this release as a gamer.

*facepalm* please, for the love of all that is holy, read up on some basic programming or something? Releasing one huge expansion multiplies the amount of issues that will arise. Releasing smaller "bundles" means they can keep track of (and fix) bugs easier, and they will be a lot smaller. They release the small package expansions now because of people complaining about the amount of bugs in the EVE expansions. You lot complain about the game being buggy, but when they try to take steps to fix it you complain about that too?
That being said. Character creation: They noted several times that what we have so far is a base. When Incarna is fully active we will have far more options in terms of clothing, tattoos and everything else you WoW players get excited over.
Choice and implementation: Several of you complain about not wanting it. I'm sure CCP would release a "skip" option for it, if for nothing more than the fact it would help limit the amount of server side resources used by people roaming the stations.
As long as there is no loading issues, none of you should be complaining. And if you hate the fact that EVE is evolving, go play Freelancer. Now I do everything from PvE, to mining and my main (this character) is a nullsec pvp pilot. The ability to walk around stations will help with the monotony of station spinning and (if you lot had read the "lore" and/or dev blogs) would make EVE far more realistic.

Also can work the other way. Its like a drug, give them a little to get them hooked, then slowly give them more as time goes on. Not too worried about how they release it. I'm happy they are going the "bug fixing" route instead of your "cash happy" way.

If CCP releases on a single expansion as a market ploy: People complain cause they aren't working on the bugs first.
If CCP releases in sections to lower issues: People complain because it isn't a smart market move.
(Market ploy depends on opinion of customer, I'd personally thing smaller "expansions" would make more sense since they can run off it longer).
Either way you will find a way to complain with no thought to the hours of work these "lazy" programmers put in, or the artists, producers etc. They are working to entertain you and make EVE evolve with the times when they could easily go work in any number of other professions.
Stick to coming up with ways to improve the game, stop whining.

Originally by: Super Whopper This had better be the DX10 client CCP said they were working on in 2006.
Incarna... after Duke Nukem Forever. Well done CCP, it's only taken you 7 years to release a 'feature' that will transform EVE into Second Life in space, not to mention this 'feature' was spoken of in 2003.
Also we'd better be able to turn Incarna off, considering pleasure hubs and everything else that was touted in 2006 has been removed. Otherwise I'm spamming petitions for it to be turned off.
Where is the Quaf girl, CCP? Where is she?
You realise (and same goes for the people that have had the same response as you) that apart from the ability to walk around in stations, the game mechanics wont be changing...right? Combat will still be the same, trade will still be the same, mining and manufacturing will all still be the same.
Nothing of what EVE is now is going to magically vanish or change just because we will be able to walk in stations. So apart from the empty "second life" remarks, whats your reason for crying over it?
Also, if you lot find the ability to walk in stations so distressing, maybe you should give EVE a pass and go try out other games that are a little less mentally challenging. --------------------------------- You think your lag is bad? It took Jesus 3 days to respawn! |

Just something I've noticed...but you guys n gals do realise the quarters are in the station, not the ship...right? Consider it a hotel room in the station designed for capsuleer pilots. You dock, they give you a key for a captains quarters they have in station.
This way they don't need to have over a million captains quarters per station and also, when your ship is blown up, you don't lose your room. Plus, if the quarters were in your ships, that would mean you'd have to have however many individual rooms. So instead of needing 1mil available rooms in stations for characters, CCP would have to make space for 30+ million rooms. ---------------------------------

Originally by: Ignis Sancta I just wanted to put this out there for ccp, you should try posting current problems that you are having a tough time with to the eve community, and let us help you solve them. I guarantee this community can.
No...the community wont fix ****. They will complain and groan and if anything, just make things worse (even create problems that weren't there to begin with).
As for some of your other points (replies to others, that is), im sure CCP would make it a choice of the player if they want to get out or not. Logically it would make sense for them to allow this option for simple server resource reasons, if nothing else. As for bashing vets, they seem to jump from one side of a fight to another (bi-polar much?) so personally, id think CCP would have come to the realisation that no matter what they do, the vets will complain that it will kill the game. ---------------------------------
