Has there been any further discussion about Walking In Stations or is that a lost cause that got canned as well?
Captains Quarters hasn't had any updates in a long time, and after getting trapped in a station with 7 war targets outside, it also got me wishing I could do more.
What if WIS was on a separate client/server? But still able to link your character, assets, wallet etc.
If there is a discussion about this still, please direct me to it. Or if this can be confirmed as 'canned'... i will quit my wishful thinking.
Cheers.

Removal of PLEX and NEX store, aurum for everything as a microtransaction currency, bought by real money. New shop out of game, available from the character screen, predefined ship skins, clothes, and other goodies there, licenses with function of extending your gametime bought by spending aurum.
Is it the future?
It would be so funny to watch how people will react if you will tell them that "Summer of rage" happened because of microtransactions. Maybe some legendary "golden ammo" where one dev said he was not negative about this, but not microtransactions, they are here today and to stay.
Its all what we have from Summer of rage, WiS like WoD, too much to handle by CCP. When weapons, technology, and economies mature faster than the leadership culture entrusted with them, disaster ensues. |

And yet every so often, a new WiS/CARBON based object comes into play - its not been abandoned, neither is it a very high priority. It will someday happen, and I hope it does.
As much as I like Internet Spaceships (it being a Serious Business after all), just having the option of going out into a station, visiting the local bar, picking up a mission from the bar tender (for example) rather than through the mission window, and generally integrating my character further into EVE universe I find it genuinely surprising that people, even after nearly 3 years, are still so set against something that will expand the game in so many different directions - who wouldn't want to watch a Null-G boxing match with friends on a Caldari Station with ships floating past the windows or even getting a spy onto an enemy outpost and sabotaging their manufacturing arrays or even help bring the shields down faster (which could possiblly introduce Station Combat down the line...)
But alas, most people are too interested in getting the pod kills and/or sitting in a station spinning their ships bemoaning that CCP are poor developers (which is an unfair statement - no developer is perfect) whilst ignoring the joys of the system that they could be having. Blessed are those that carry the Empress' Light; with it they destroy the shadows |

Cheers. Walking in station should be dead. With sooooo many other things that need to be fixed in this game how could they justify wasting resources on fluff? |

Amazing to see how a simple post can get so heated. Yay forums!
I think it's obvious that there are some player that would welcome the idea, and some players that would kick it right in the b*lls.. So why not have the option to use it if you want or not? Kinda like we have the options to enter captains quarters or not?
Or even the separate client idea? (I know nothing about the server mechanics, please don't shun me)
Many Veteran Eve players would prefer to keep the game as a simple Internet Spaceships game, but should that prevent other players who might like to try other gameplay from joining the Eve Universe? It may open up the playerbase and provide more income to CCP?
Either or, if it come's ill be happy.. if it doesn't I won't care. Like I said.. WOD canned just sparked a thought.

Maybe extending social options in WiS by spending aurum will be a future idea, who knows... When weapons, technology, and economies mature faster than the leadership culture entrusted with them, disaster ensues. |

WiS is/was a massive waste.
There just isn't any content to go along with it.
Perhaps if DUST and EVE had been better integrated, there would have been potential there.
Can someone explain to me what good WiS would do? What content exactly? ------------ |

Because the money time and effort that would go into WIS could go to make what we have now better. Nothing rubs against my grain more then when a game spends time adding useless fluff like skins and wis when what we have now doesnt work. Like POS and SOV mechanics and ship balance etc...
I am all for adding new stuff but not at the cost of neglecting to fix whatGÇÖs still broken. I prefer to fly a balanced ship over a PINK ship. |

Well, even surgeon sometimes break some badly grown bones, when he is intending to better the situation. And there could be complications, patient can die on the table... When weapons, technology, and economies mature faster than the leadership culture entrusted with them, disaster ensues. |

I dont know if you ever noticed the avatar of Ireland VonVicious but seeing it dancing naked in a station would be content for me. |

It's not a waste if people enjoy it, just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't mean it should be abandoned and forgotten about.
The avatars are amazing, the character creation is the best in any game i've ever seen, the captains quarters are incredibly well designed and detailed.
The issue is the content which i believe could be easily added as long as they keep it simple -add station gambling via casinos -add a station chat tab
Next expansion -add site exploration, as a slender man meets resident evil style.
Think small cool immersive minigames. Not CoD style stations raids or assassinating each other while we sleep in our private quarters and a lot can be done with the current engine. |

WiS needs to exist, yes, but it also needs content. Letting players own and operate their own casinos would be nice, but considering the number of stations and players in EVE, only a handful of people would be successful at it.
In order to be a genuine sandbox, WiS needs to be EiS - EVE in Stations. that means there need to be resources to gather, things to build, territory to claim and markets to corner. For my money, those resources should fold back into the spaceships game.
I envision things like:
1: hacking Caldari megacorporate research offices and stealing the blueprints for prototype modules that, say, are WAY better when overheating, but only when overheating, and they burn out fast, or which have a reduced CPU requirement but need more PG.
2: a slick Ocean's 11-style heist against an Inherent Implants facility where you steal the components to build new and interesting types of implant which do interesting things like give you more shield HP or some passive armour regen, or a smaller sig radius.
3: datamining a Republic Security Services station for viruses that can be loaded into your analysers like charges, but you run the risk of having an RSS strike team come down on you and lose standings.
4: accepting a contract from Poteque to run a medical facility on their behalf, so you make money from selling clones to other players, with the option of customising the type of clone you sell by acquiring and installing cloning technology that, say, increases the SP they store, or gives them an extra implant slot.
5: All of which should be the foundation of an in-depth, player-driven smuggling system where all of these goods - the blueprints, the implant parts, the viruses and the clone technology - are contraband, which have to be traded by meeting people in shady clubs and transferring the goods and ISK at a below-decks meet which can be interrupted by player customs enforces resulting in a shootout and where customs agents are players in space who've taken a contract to scan cargo and who gain kill rights when they catch a smuggler.
the point is that EiS should be a sandbox which interacts with and enhances the space side of things, but comes with its own dangers and consequences, risk-vs-reward gambles and opportunity for PvP and mayhem.

In other words...walking in station, very bad idea. Want a toon to walk around with? Get a game with toons you walk around with. There's hundreds!
Some people would rather be able to do everything in one game. Myself included. If the solution to a problem is play another game, the problem is catastrophic and the first game to do both will hurt EvE.
This game can't afford to be flippant with serious community building mechanics.
