Since EVE isn't reality anywhere, my EVE is just as real as your EVE. The humans who would have made up my ships' crews are thankful they live in my EVE where they don't die on a regular basis.
The crews die on a regular basis is because the game mechanics only have the pod pilot in his/her bath of goo escape. IF Eve was merged Star Wars IRL - a nice thought for the coming millennia - the ships will have multiple escape capsules life boats, for ship evacuations, and there would be no need for a pilot in a bath of goo. We'd have academies for training ships officers, and crew, just like here on Earth.. |

As I said in my first post. Have a presenter throw out the idea to the audience at the fanfest this year, and get more player feedback before CCP does anything. |

Crews have their escape pods, there is a crew survival percentage for every class, a little low for my taste, but EVE is a dangerous place for the people looking to live among the stars.
We as commanders of our ships can have effect here, we can give te order to evcuate ship whenever we want, that way we can save the lives of our crew. |

Yes, but I would pay just as much for a high resolution digital collection of images. Maybe it's an old lifestyle remnant from my military days and packing light / moving light... but I dislike physical things due to the "stuff" clutter.
Bundle it with bonus in-game goodies and you have a winner.

New technical Chronicles on the Eve website would be great, alongside some awesome Art too.
Just like:
http://community.eveonline.com/backstory/chronicles/the-spider-miner/
http://community.eveonline.com/backstory/chronicles/camera-drones/
http://community.eveonline.com/backstory/chronicles/aura/
The chronicles sure do inspire people to share the ambiance and soul of eve (kinda like advertising the world to potential new & current players) going so far as to read them aloud and make awesome recordings like this fine pilot here: http://www.evereader.org/
As for resources to cover the development- perhaps someone can go mumble something about 18 months to those folks who're playing -a free FPS that's funded by space ship pilots who subscribe to play eve-... on an old gen console. That uh, what's it called? Segabox or something? That, you know, some minor creative resources had to be diverted back to spaceship land? mmm?
Wouldn't that be awesome?! |

Sad state of affairs when we're asking for these things, when they would enrich the lore and backstory so much.

Just for some context, the artbooks I couldn't stop myself from buying online and in brick and mortar stores were about $35 - $45 each. I don't know the count, but I know they fill four of those 50 gallon plastic storage tubs. In-game items are being undersold, and on their own the concept is kind of empty... but paired with an occasion, I think it's a good mix.
The best thing about a physical book, though, is color reproduction. Print is handled in CMYK, while monitors use RGB. If you were to get really fancy about the digital images, ship them in CMYK for printing purposes.
One way to handle DRM gracefully is embed the name of a pilot onto the ships somehow, maybe the way you see pilot and crewchief names stencilled on military aircraft. Hopefully there's a way to automate this per order, but even if there isn't, you gotta work for that money somehow, and digital goods have infinite scalability.

all you need to do is to check the star fleet technical manual on how to do such things in book format. |

Honestly,
I think it would be very good if we'd work out the technical details into a (buyable) format. It will help people who like to write novels for example, or fanfiction writers a lot! Not only that, but often idea's proposed in very popular series end up developped years later, and who knows... it might contribute :D |

I think it would be cool. No, SUPER COOL!
I personally would like to see the layouts of some of the industry ships (especially the larger ones). It would be pretty neat to see the network of internal mechanisms and systems like freight elevators, the Rorqual (in both travel and deployed mode), assembly lines, conveyor systems, resource processors, cargo and drone bays, etc. Maybe some of the usual modules one would find on such ships could be attached and we could see their inner workings as well.
It would also be pretty awesome to see cutaways with the crew (if any) in our ships performing their typical tasks of maintaining some of the internal systems, repairing damage, etc. Anything really.
Books, posters, downloadable media, wallpapers, 3D models, anything. You put it in the store and I will buy it.

Yes. absolutely yes Include graphs like the damage one dropped it reddit a and pawn it off as a concord report or something.
As long as it wasn't a limited run like Source was. Still disappointed I couldn't grab that because I wasn't sat at the PC comstantly waiting for it to come on sale. |
