The term "Captain's Quarters" is now slowly turning into a concept in my mind of a Captain with the name "Quarters".
Captain Quarters! A New Eden super hero! His super power? Providing couches and interface to every pod pilot in New Eden. Soooo... Super provisional powers of couches and interfaces... ACTIVATE! _______________________________________

And the meme of "Captain's Quarters" causes one to search... for in searching it temporarily satisfies the minds desire to be preoccupied with thoughts of lounging and looking at interfaces... Google, let's seek search terms and explore memes and themes of a Captain and his Quarters...

I believe this has become an official "whine" for me. :)
So, anyone else anticipating Incarna... or are you all running off to other pursuits to get your mind off of the fact Captain's Quarters is not out yet? _______________________________________

I'm checking Sisi every so often, and am becoming less and less optimistic. Also makes me wonder if they'll have it out on time come summer, as they seem to have so much work to do just to get something that will run on a test server. |

Edited by: Ming Sying on 15/04/2011 12:58:21 I don't envision an entirely new game at all from this, but more as an additional social experience for people playing the game.
Some features I will be expecting are:
- Strategy Room, alliance/corp meeting place where officers can upload powerpoint presentations, open the starmap and show pre-flight routes, videos, and audio files or just use a mic.
- Station social area, like a bar or game lounge with multiplayer games for people to play since the rest of EvE is such a terrible game.
- Dozens of other ways to implement a feature without dedicating the full resources required of an entirely new game.
I will say that CCP is not the blackhole company its players make it out to be. They could have charged players $50 for this expansion. If that was the case I could understand all the harsh criticism.

Right, from what I saw of those older videos, it gives the game more flavor, and gives roleplayers a bit more fun and environment. There's also that strategy game as you mentioned. What CCP has been doing, that I think is smart, is iterative releases.
I don't think Eve is a blackhole company selling vaporware or such but what they've shown of Incarna and when they said CQ was coming out have had me expecting CQ out by now.
The new character creator and Incarna are what piqued my interest again. I am a PVPer as well as an RPGer and I enjoy the immersion and sandbox roleplay value Eve has.
In my career, I have found that customers waiting on features or patches to issues appreciate updates when things don't go as expected.
For example, I'd rather hear that CQ is not even coming out two months from now and that the full rollout of Incarna is not coming out until the end of the year than nothing at all. :) _______________________________________

Edited by: Ming Sying on 18/04/2011 15:16:16 Roleplay is overrated. I'm just looking for something to do to kill time because I always find myself sitting in a station. Game immersion does help the "feel" of the game though, and probably draws in more new players for me to exploit and kill.

It is what you make it to be. Game immersion is a result of great execution of representational storyline. Namely, does what you see and hear portray the story and setting well and in a way that captures the imagination?
Roleplay would be the players response to this that perpetuates this immersion for others.
Yeah, drawing in more players will always be a "win".
Now CQ is out for testing, all is well, hehe. _______________________________________

That's too simplistic. A game can have no main storyline at all and still be incredibly immersive. The immersion factor is not something that's easy to pin down. Not only can it work differently for different people but there is no one aspect of a game that is guaranteed to bring it about for every game. It can, as you said, have to do with the storyline; it can have to do with the overall complexity and interest of the environment; it can have to do with graphics; or it can have to do with any number of other things. Important, however, is that no individual factor that contributes to immersion need be present in a given game for someone to get immersed. Some games might rely on graphics to draw players into the world but neglect the backstory, but a text-based game with no graphics at all can still be immersive.
In any case, story was never EvE's strong suit. I've never known anyone who got terribly interested in the lore of New Eden.
I would also say that immersion is seriously lacking in general in this game, as it's missing too many critical things. One of those is a story that draws people in, but I think a bigger problem is that people tend to interact less with other players here than in other games. I also think that this is in part because we do not play as avatars and do not interact with other players as avatars. The whole thing has a very impersonal and distant-from-humanity feel. Incarna, I hope, will make moves to fix this, but it will only help if stations are non instanced. Incarna is only a worthwhile endeavor if players can actually interact in public areas of the station. If it's just an instanced captain's quarter, even if we can invite other people to visit us, I don't see that as adding a great deal of interest to the game or doing anything very revolutionary.

Will there be a way to access your ships cargo from the CQ? the present way to do it is to cumbersome.
I don't like having to click the ships button and then doubleclicking the ship you want. No Pain, No Gain, No Glory. |

I agree that it's other things than just storyline. I like it all to come together for sure. Yet, the storyline is what everything should abide by. Up until now it was the graphics (at least pertaining to ships and space) and the storyline. I think the short stories are great and offer a framework to go by. The item database also gives details. The timeline is something to keep in mind with roleplay as well.
Incarna will help immersion greatly, I agree. There will be more than just an instanced CQ, based on the early videos I saw. From what I understand, there will even be player owned shops as well as in-station strategy games you can wager on.
Oh, and if you want to see some video I shot of the recent test, here's my submission: Eve Online - First Steps Incarna
It's nice seeing your character "in the flesh". _______________________________________

From what I've seen, you can access the ship's menu through an object in the CQ. _______________________________________

To contribute to the real feeling eve has i want to propose an idea of having an elevator instead of a load screen in the CQ for later expensions. Imagine yourself walking into an elevator hitting a button, the elevator moving up or down to the station welcome center(public place to meet up with other characters and what not) I really hope something like this will replace an ugly load screen

q is here. Will it take 30 mins. to get in, dock, change clothes, refill fuel on ship, etc etc. Or will there be a simple interface option, like the one currently in use?
So if you just are going to pop in and change ship, howlong is that going to take?

I've seen CCP 'Future Vision' introduction video on youtube. I noticed that the air strike was replaced by orbital strike. I understand that there is a reason for that. There are no game mechanics to fly in the planet airspace yet. Are there any plans to have the ability to enter the airspace and fly close to planet's ground in Incarna? Can we have a real flight simulator with the ability to control the flight with up, down, left and right keys? This will give better feeling for 'dog-fighting' type of battle and bring more arcade style gameplay. I loved Elite game. And it was an arcade game. I could control the flight with my arrow keys on the keyboard there.

I liked these words - "We are changing the experience and perception of EVE from a complex and abstract space ship game driven by Excel sheets into a true science fiction universe." How much power is behind them?
I think planetary worlds are the jewels of the game. You can see that in James Cameron's Avatar movie. And they were left behind completely overlooked and undeveloped. How can you imagine "a true science fiction universe" without planets?
I don't think it's feasible to pilot say, a Drake down into the atmosphere and just fly around in dogfights if that's what you meant. They are spaceships, not agile aircraft designed to fly around a planets atmosphere. Even so, I would imagine that would take another few years to even code. I do think this should be part of Dust with different aircraft designed for that sort of dog fighting and you've already got your 360 controller stick to do the flying there.
Me? I will remain in space nuking the console bro's from up there >:)

I'd rather have a direct plugin. But how long this gonna take? Another 20-30 years? They are so slow. They haven't even built first nanobot yet.

Looks ok but i gotta say if the big expansion for the year is just this then im a bit dissappointed. I dont really need to stand in a room by myself in game. Hopfully some actual content in this patch will be a welcomed addition.
1 - Factional Warfare needs some love. 2 - POS mechanics are horrible for most actions particularly industrial action. 3 - Worm holes could also do with some love.
Im not going to get bogged down in details but there has to be better ways to spend your R&D dollars if this is genuinely going to be the key feature of the next update maybe roll it out with more content than it is in its current form. I really dont see the big deal on ambulation tbh if all the real content is being designed for dust514 and is irrellevant to the PC content.

Originally by: CCP Chiliad On the topic of performance, min specs and optimization; we wont use the high fidelity and resolution characters used in the character creator. It would be total overkill and unfeasible especially for rendering multiple characters in the same scene later on. When I say we want to match the quality of the character creator I simply mean that we set the bar very high with that feature in terms of feel, quality and simply the amount of love and polish we gave it.
There is no love in the character creater when it comes to performance.
It runs like crap on systems you list as being supported.
And there's no love in terms of usability.
E.g: Adding a tattoo would force me to adjust the camera angle once again to get a picture similar to the old one. Why should I have to adjust camara angles over and over again for doing what is to be considered little changes? That's lack of concept, not excellency!
And this is the "quality" you aim for? Ha, ha, ha!

The creator ran perfectly on my 3+ year old machine. Radeon HD4870, 2gb ddr2 (I think) ram w/ quad core athlon.

This another one of that cases when people mistake "supported hardware" with "supported hardware whatever crapload 3rd part softwares you put on it".
I may say that compared to the load of very lower quality 3d char renders used around, namely SL, SL wannabes, and other 3d virtual worlds not using SL or Opensim, EVE char creator is lighter and better.
