I realize that the issue of ship interiors has been something of a mild sticking point for a long time (I can remember reading the back-and-forths on whether or not there were even crews), but I was wondering if there are any concept art out there of the ships' interiors? Not anything necessarily vessel-specific, mind you, but just something to give a person an idea of theming?
And I know we get kind of a mild taste of racial interiors based on the walkable portions of the stations, but it's one small room, and I'm left wanting to see more (particularly of the bridges). Anyone know of any good repository for this kind of stuff that I could browse through (if it even exists)? |

There are representations of the pod section of ships around.
Everything else is not important and should be beneath your interest as a pod pilot.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

Well, I guess I'm interested. I mean, do you think the Pod pilots never do anything in their ships even when in station? We clearly deign to get out of our pods and walk around, so I assume in safe environments, we tend to stretch our legs a little. What's more, I like to think that a holographic projection of us might actually walk the decks even while our physical minds and bodies stay locked within our claustrophobic little cocoon. |

Eh, I don't know.
If you looked at a cross section of my ship all you'd see is a bunch of fedos gettin' it on in the crawl spaces and the secret spot where I stash all of my asteroid erotica. |

There was an Algos cutaway image in EVE Source. A quick google search will probably turn it up. |

all of the Ships are Gigantic a Frigate for Example is 10-15 times bigger than the single Pilot Fighters in every other Scifi flic , and when i sit in my Domi Mega or Rattler i dont want to imagine that only ME is in the ship wich is twice as big as the average enterprise wich has a 1000man crew xD so where is my crew keeping my ship alive ? |

This is something myself and CCP t0rfifrans have been talking about for some time now, some kind of ship inventory with a lot of techincal backstory and history of hulls in it.
What would you guys think of something like that? Would you be interested in buying some form of media completely devoted to technical backstory in EVE? Stuff like technical readouts, drawings, histories of hulls and their variants, that kind of thing?
Just wondering!

First, awesome.
Second, absolutely. Are you talking about something like an EVE version of this? Because, frankly, that was like my Bible for 4-5 years in Jr. High/High School.
I think anyone with even the mildest interest in the lore would want to know more about the ships... how they fly... what their crew compliments are... where they were first designed... what their interiors look like... what life aboard them is like. Yeah, I'd fork over $20-$30 for something like that. No question. |

Though, can guarantee it would not even come close to my imagination of me inside my ships.
Still, it'd be cool to have. :)

IE, a Dominix comes with a full 'Ten Forward' style bar/strip club, natural-type (rocks, steam, plants, waterfalls) swimming pool, and meditation gardens; your average Apocalypse has a slave death arena, 'sins of the flesh' officer's club, and grand internal chapel/cathedral? The cathederal specifically was suggested as one of the primary reasons Caldari ships are so much smaller than Amarr (particularly at the BS level). The Caldari ships have crew ammeneties akin to those of a coffin hotel whereas the Amarr ship would have to have several chapels, cathederals...etc (because Amarr society is quite stratified and one can't expect a crewman from a Holder family to attend the same church as a freed slave (let alone the actual slaves aboard - who also need space to worship/be educated as to their proper place in the world).

They don't exist not even as a concept. EVE ships are just empty shells which look pretty ("design is the function") and so there is no need to figure what's inside or how do they work.
Of course, that job can be done retroactively, but personally I would not recommend it. "It looks cool" is quite incompatible with "it makes sense". I mean, how large would be the ammuniton magazines of ships firing artillery shells 1,400 mm wide and 16.2 milimeters long for a volume of 0.025 cubic meters? (I guess they fire them as killer frisbies...)

Before you go and the other devs go off and do it based on a tiny selection of yes's on this forum, I would suggest you put it to a bigger selection of fans at the next fan fest during a Eve auxiliary presentation towards the end of the ff, and judge it on that.
As for the suggestion, yes it would be a good addition to the Eve lore, so long as the effort doesn't pull dev staff from their main job. OR, CCP could get in contact with the guys who did this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Complete-Vehicles-Kerry-Dougherty/dp/1409334767/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1421679371&sr=1-3&keywords=star+wars+cross+sections
And base any book of CCP designed ships like they have done for the Star Wars ones. |

EVE Ships are not empty shells, far from that they have crews, there is fiction written about that.
I don't know how much time will I take, but I hope we'll be able to walk inside our ships and be in their bridges flying in space, the capsule concept can be reworked in many diferent ways, from the gameplay point of view and the fiction point of view, we can have both now, specially since we have Dust 514, soldiers immortal like the capsuleers, but without the need of a capsule.
For me the capsule is a restraint more than an advantage, something needed to make the gameplay work, for now.
There is a lot of people, that expect a lot more from CCP and this game in the years to come, for us EVE is limitless. |
