Originally by: Tres Farmer
Originally by: digitalwanderer *snip* I get your point, but where is it stored in the first place, not so much the delivery method to get it inside the body itself... Is it stored in the pod itself or are there built in connections for those on the outer hull of the pod and food supply,oxigen,CO2,waste disposal located on the ship itself, and where the pod is ultimately connected too when the ship is out in space.....It adds further credibility that getting out of the pod should happen within the ship itself as all the life support facilities to handle pods are contained within the ship.
The pod has a warpdrive for some time now (plus thrusters that stabilise your flight), all kinds of communications interfaces that let you connect to all kinds of networks (local, player channels, market, planetary control), a camera drone compartment + a camera drone that flies with you, a power source that let's you use all those things and keeps you above freezing temperature of water and according to the latest lore-additions a compartment which stores some clothes for you to wear once you get out of it
I'm going out on a limp here, but I'd bet some money that it also has got some storage for nutrients plus the needed connections to your ship for longer flights and replacement of those rations. Naturally I don't have a drawing or schematics of that
All it needs is a power supply. and a method for converting waste, CO2 and 'other' waste back into nutrients (perfectly possible tech). On earth waste is converted by plants using solar power back into food. The pod just has a mechanised version, powered by fusion or some such. the only thing that needs resupplying is the power source... and as nuclear reactors take very little refuelling it probably doesn't have to happen very often. Certainly not often enough to bother us. __________________________________________________

Originally by: Xenuria I DEMAND an answer from CCP as to why Eve Pilots are constrained to a primitive binary gender system!
Clearly a missed opportunity CCP t0rfifrans will undoubtedly champion next expansion. He's simply fascinated with quints.
Originally by: Xenuria It's the future why can't we be both?
What about neither?!
Originally by: Xenuria Also Why can't we be naked in our CQ?
Because one-too-many a capsuleer has surprised the cleaning crews with their "Titans" by being so. The Hospitality Unions of New Eden are powerful things and have currently convinced the corporations who sponsor pod pilots to demand fully maintained clothage in their contracts.
I see no reason why eve shouldn't recognise more than the standard 2 genders, both from a RP SciFi perspective, and simply because as we know there really are more than 2 genders and frankly in this day and age that should be acknowledged and reflected... and you never know it might help expand your player base. And of course that should include the option for (what Ian M. Banks referred to in his latest Culture novel as) Neuter gender. particularly as you don't seem to have added the relevant assets to our avatars for them to be anything other than that ;-)
And funny response :-)
BTW one question you haven't addressed that I and others have asked... that should be really easy to answer...
Only 50 ship fittings !?!??
why did we lose them and can we have our unlimited fittings back please? (plus funny vid of person responsible being thrown off roof or similar to go with.)
I realise that this isn't Incarna/CQ related, but we have upcoming patches and there a fair few who would like that fix to be in there. And as I say, I don't see how answering and sorting that problem should be hard.
And again, thank you for taking the time to post responses. __________________________________________________

I have no idea how people have this view.
So rather than have the new as they come toys as soon as their ready you'd rather wait and have them all at once but months later?
Screw that I want the toys now even if it's only the start, rather than sitting on my arse waiting for months just so you can have them all in one go >.>

What kind of immersion would satisfy someone named Lady Spank?
I have characters I role play on. This is a PVP char. Thanks for skirting the issue yet again.
o.O Don't you mean PvE since as I recall Lady Spank spent most of her time in the station in ZLZ messing with the market?

and after a few hours in the matrix style chair when the pilot wants to pee they have to do what? disconnect and leave the ship floating and vulnerable while they pee... or dock up...
The pod is actually much more advanced than the matrix chair. __________________________________________________

CCP, I think the issue here is not having an explanation as to what happens to our pilots during the docking process. I don't mean a technicnobabble explanation, I mean a description of what our pilots see, hear, feel and so on during the docking process. Sure we can all make stuff up. I can make something up:
As soon an your docking request is accepted, and automatic process starts in your pod. The fluid is drained, you are cleaned, dried, unplugged, and you are dressed in the clothes stored in the pod. As soon as your ship docks the pod is disengaged from it and flies over to the balcony and out you step; clean, dry, and clothed.
Nice story, but CCP, here is the point:
Its not part of the game, not canon, until you say its canon.
If you said something like the above is whats happening, then you could modify the content to reinforce it. For example, move the pod up to the level of the balcony and have our pilots appear just outside its open doors, as though we just stepped out. Also you could replace the "loading" message we see when CQ is loading with "Draining" followed by "Cleaning" then "Dressing", followed by the view of our avatar standing beside the pod.
Could we have a little more of the storyline here? Please?

SF game = imagination required. Yes, yes I know some people don't have one ... poor soles.
All the discussion about how capsuleers would be sustained within their pod, not too difficult to explain away in a SF future. Do you not think that in the time setting of the EvE universe that scientists wouldn't have been able to re-create a womb like environment? Did you need an aqualung, waste tubes, etc, etc when you were immersed in fluid in the womb?
Many people only look at what is possible now, if you talked about something like mobile phones back in the middle ages you'd probably have been burned at the stake because they wouldn't have been able to fathom what you were talking about! We literally have no idea at what may be possible in the far distant future, things not even thought of as yet.
p.s. Waiting patiently for our EvE Canon Overlords (CCP) to tell us how it is possible

Well, looks like our clothes are made from nanites and dissolves every time it gets in contact with the fluid inside the capsule
When docking, nanite particles regroup 'assembling' our outfits

Originally by: CCP Manifest WHY NOT simply push back the expansion release date? I guess I didn't make it clear enough in my previous response, but I think the idea behind it is to (1) get out the functionality to players as soon as it is ready
Sooner does NOT equal better.
Originally by: CCP Manifest and (2) use that opportunity to gather feedback to possibly be able to make the other ones even better.
That's what the test server's for!
Originally by: CCP Manifest WHY NOT deliver on your promises? Which promises specifically?
Almost everyone was previously under the impression that we'd be able to use all art assets on all races when the character creator came out, but that was taken away for a reason that was never adequately explained. You haven't delivered on the many promises that've been made over the last three years to fix very basic things about factional warfare, or even that you'll listen to what those problems are, to the point where I'm now forced to talk to one of your employees on Twitter to get anyone's attention about factional warfare.
I guess it was unfair of me to expect you to deliver all four captain's quarters in one go?
Originally by: CCP Manifest That depends on your perspective. In my opinion we're releasing the expansion finished, just in chunks as those chunks are finished.
This chunk is missing three-quarters of its goddamn content! You could avert this situation by simply pushing back the date of release until all your art assets were finished, which would also give you time to, I don't know, apply some basic fixes to factional warfare or let Team BFF roll out a few more fixes.
Originally by: CCP Manifest If it helps to consider it, we're releasing 1.0 finished
No, it won't be, because we'll be missing three out of four captain's quarters!
Originally by: CCP Manifest will release 1.1 finished and so on. It's a shift in the way we're delivering things and for many reasons it is better.
How?
Originally by: CCP Manifest Yes, before you get to it, there are some things about it not as good...but we believe those to be outweighed.
What?
Originally by: CCP Manifest We have been testing things on it. I've been there, in many of those tests. Maybe we don't test everything on it at all times, but due to the nature of our development cycle, that's just not possible.
Well a good deal of the rather urgent suggestions about Captain's Quarters - most egregiously, the fact that almost everyone wants it to be purely optional - don't seem to be getting any CCP response at all. Then there's this thing here where you're trying to use Tranquility as the test server, in which you're going to find out - from people with a lot less patience than me (and trust me, that's saying something) - exactly the same things we've been telling you in the Test Server Forums (decrease the system requirements, restore the old hangar view and make CQ entirely optional, why the hell didn't you release all four racial CQs, why can't I access all art assets on all races etc.). It's just that the people will be telling you these things more loudly and more angrily than us.
Originally by: CCP Manifest Hope those clarifications help.

OK, so here we are, the most powerful and richest pilots in the known world coming in to dock at a station.
We get assigned a berth and our ships are towed into dock. So far so good.
Then, it appears we must eject our pod from the ship and fly it over to a balcony overlooking the docking bay, and land it on this small little platform attached to the balcony. There, it seems we must decant ourselves from the pod and walk into our room, which is fairly spartan. This is the disconnect right here.
For the money we represent to the station, you'd think a little more luxury or service would be available? Presumably we have pre-ordered our clothing which would be waiting in our rooms? Isn't this a bit like Bill Gates checking into a motel?
I guess things may be different in the EvE universe. Maybe this does represent luxury, and normal folks live in little "coffins" strung up on racks like a human warehouse or something.

Not just checking into a motel, but being forceably ejected from your expensive ride to check into a motel. ... If you like choice please support this topic in the Assembly Hall. Thanks.

Think about it though what the entire list of requirements for a pod would be like though, and i might be missing some here:
1:Power source. 2:Provide nutrients and oxigen and CO2 scrubbers and waste management and/or recycling,including their storage. 3:Propulsion(both thrusters and warp drive). 4:Navigation systems to reach a specific destination, then that data is supplied to the warp drive or thrusters. 5:Temperature control(it is -200*C in space at least). 6:Armor,hull and shields(small amounts for sure, but they are there just the same). 7:Neural interface to the host ship to be able to control it's systems. 8:Equipement to allow the pilots conciousness and memories and skills to transfer to another clone if podded,even if the clone is in another region. 9:Basic sensor system to scan anything in close proximity. 10:EM radiation protection from the sun within that solar system(solar flares being the worst case scenario). 11:Gamma ray protection wich is present in the entire universe(has the ability to mutate DNA, nasty thing). 12:Mechanism to allow the pilot to exit the pod and enter it repeatedly as he/she docks or undocks at will. 13:Provide a means to store clothing within the pod, as the pilot is suspended in fluid and butt naked(the fluid + pilot alone will take a lot of internal volume within the pod). 14:All the above has to physically fit in a pod just a few meters high and a couple of meters wide...
It would be a marvel of functionality and space efficiency to say the least....
