Whether you like it or not, EVE has to attract more attention. I know several people that tried EVE and then asked me "How can i leave the ship?" When i told them no, some were ok but others were a bit sad. I actually know one guy who left because he wanted that face to face player interaction.
This would definitely attract more players, which means more lag to some of you, but it means more money to CCP. Which to me means that CCP will have more money to upgrade servers and get more devs.

Now that the station environments will allow humans to be seen side by side with ships we have a real basis for scale. Will ccp be using the graphics update to fix any issues with size and scale?
Agreed.
The stations are too small, CCP. You've spent an enormous amount of time and resources to extend the immersion the players have with your virtual universe and currently have missed a critical point which shatters the illusion completely.
Heh you think current stations are small. You should of seen them in exodus.
I have fond memories of being stuck in a docking port with my Megathron.

Greetings every one just my 2c to this topic i really enjoyed reading it and looking forward to more information from the devs.
1)Windows, because the servers will be separated from what i understand only possibility is to make semi Loading process you can see at the windows like Departing ships or Docking ships when command go to Undock it will simply make an animation of the ship going away and you can see it from the window or when ship arrive and dock show the animation of ship exiting warp and going into docking bay yes it will be with 5-10 second error because out of station everything <docking undock> is on instant but it may be a good eye candy.
2) docking area the possible way i see is only personal docking areas like we see them now unfortunately i cant imagine 1000 docking spots in a station for every one like lets say in Jita so docking bay will be personal and from docking bay we can go to "Departure hall"? its where every thing will begin and to avoid stupid teleportations like some games <EQ2> have 1000 houses in 1 door and every one go in it make a simple Elivators with Number pads get in enter you'r appartment number number will be shown on top of the elivator and here you go "many ppl can go to elivator but only those with right security will be able to leave at the right level" making 500 levels with lets say 4 side blocks A,B,C,D making it 2000 floors / stations i think its more then enough even for jita and all the player interaction in elivator's and realism added to it may have a positive impact <if you look outside of amarr stations atm you will see elivators i am talking about going up and down all the time>
3)All MMO's problem Dancing i totally agree Players should not be able to /dance anywhere but Pleasure Hubs or Bar's can have Dance Cages or Stands and when character "voting for female only" will deside to use it just activate a Script for dancing and it can be performed only at this locations also some NPC's coming out and dancing like this may add a lot to atmosphere of a Pleasure Hub <but please don't make them dance 24/7 small script can make them come out make a dance and go back to <dancers room?>.
ill add a couple more ideas i have later on wound like to hear some comments. p.s. sorry for my bad spelling english is not my first lang. ______________________ Accepting only Ammarian Express transactions! no checks or Visk! |

You know, I only briefly skimmed the thread, but I wonder if anyone has thought a bit about the following implication...
Station servers are independent from system nodes | V Players inside stations will not be on system nodes | V Player density on a station node will not effect the system node the station is in | V Player density in Jita 4-4 will not affect the Jita system | V Jita stops lagging! 
This is a wonderful way to "defuse" the negative performance impact of trade hubs while keeping the trade hubs alive and running. Because, as we all know, trade hubs are very comfortable things to have around, if only they didn't have performance issues.
Also, while you are working on the insides of the stations, dear Devs, have you considered giving them more specific specializations? Just for example:
-Officially declare Jita a trading hub (with backstory involving the Caldari government acknowledging the enormous economical significance it has gained over the years). -Remove all factories and R&D slots from all Jita stations. -Specialize each Jita station for trading a specific market category. For example, one station would specialize in trading ships, another would be trading modules and equipment, a third would be trading minerals, components, salvaged scrap and other building parts... and so on.
The advantages: people know where they have to go to find something specific in a flash, but it's not all the same station. Jita remains the famous trade hub it is now, but without performance issues.
And remember, this is only an arbitrary example using a famous system name. The same model could be employed to create a single specialzed trade hub in every Empire region - either in those systems that are trade hubs already, or in promising, conveniently located systems in regions that don't have one yet. This may help to better spread out the player base.
Furthermore, you could specialize stations in other ways. A station that now has research slots would for example have a wholly different interior than an industry focused one, and could include or not include specific rooms that are only tangentially related at first glance - you're much more likely to find a shady bar in the industry station with its many low-class workers, for example, than in the sterile high-security environment of the science station that is only inhabited by a comparatively low amount of qualified specialists (which have better things to do than get drunk anyway). Or, the recruitment offices in a pure office-focused station could be bigger/fancier, and the war rooms there could have additional features. Lots of neat options

I want to see alliances benefit. I want station interiors at player outposts to be customizable. I spent 30B on this, I'm decorating it they way I like.
I want it to be useful. Make a ready room - a place where an FC can display the route to the target, talk about what will happen, and in general a place for the either small gang or half the alliance to stay together in the time before an op.
But on a lighter note. I also want to be able to walk up to the docks of other player's ships. "Hey, heard some guy got a Carrier/Dread/Faction Ship docked in here lets go see it!" I'd like to see station interiors changed so that I can see 2-5 ships docked next to mine and more in the background.
And stations need to be bigger. PLEASE. Station type conq. 3 will not physically fit a dreadnought or any type of carrier. I've seen em' undock. Most stations don't have nearly the space required to fit a capital in. Much less 100 ships of all shapes and sizes, not to mention whats not active. Stations simply are not big enough!

You don't have a bridge. You've got a capsule with wires and tubes and whatnot coming out of it.

Ok, I've figured out a suggestion no one has thought of yet...
If we get in station avatars ambulating around, what if we could also walk around the inside of our SHIPS, while they are docked? Not when they are in space, because we use the current interface for those, but when we dock, we can look inside our ships, because we have to get into the pod to undock, but before we get into the pod, we can move around the ship, and look out the many windows each ship has, and so on.
And if you can do that, perhaps you can see where your ship modules are placed, and optimize them for best performance by working on them like Scotty in the engine room....

So i guess there will be no more station menu... i mean those fitting, medical, reprocess buttons on the right side... You'll have to go to the medical station by foot, to the reprocess plant and talk to someone? Go to the station shop to buy things? Get a lorry to drive the mods to your ship? Go talk to agents in the bar? Will there be food, drinks?

I am very pleased that CCP is moving forward with this ambulation project. It looks great guys, and I am glad to hear it doesn't seem to require an upgrade to Vista to enjoy it. I am really excited to try it.
I was wondering if the test server is up to the task of hosting this prior to release. I am guessing that if you guys ever put it up on the test server, that server population will go through the roof and it might squash the active ship-ship player testing that goes on there. I suppose it will only be for a short time, so no biggie.
I am curious how the transition from pod to ambulation will happen. It might be very cool to have a transition effect on your character coming out of it's pod or clone vat. Blurry vision and stumbling steps for awhile. The image of people stumbling down a hallway with hospital gowns on, being led by medical teams makes me chuckle. And to that end, I am wondering if there will be a cost for the service to be removed and replaced in your pod.
Being able to watch through windows, the action outside the station, would be awesome. I really hope you will be able to get a real-time view of the outside of the station from a window or console inside the station.
Anyway, I would like to add my name to the list of people who would also like to see some customization options on their ships as well. Paint, spoilers, frozen corpses dangling all around the hull. I know that's not probably part of this package, but something I would much like to see added at some point.
Anyway, kudos on the work and the game as a whole.

Ah, the possibilities are endless with Ambulation!
I do not believe that the Ambulation project will decline the amount of pilots in space(Read me out first).
Later on, it could actually increase the amount of pilots in space. (If your in an NPC corp or looking for someone to share in the profits of an Exploration thing, you can actually go to a social hangout spot, talk to a person face to face, and then proceed to do some hunting. Make a new friend... or your worse enemy )
Remember: When Ambulation first comes out, it'll be about social gatherings and Corp Meetings that feel important.
Maybe later on, you can be hunted down by Mercs and as you stroll down a corridor, one of them spots you and your able to run to your ship and quickly dock out, breaking stuff along the way!
Or like others have said, meeting up with shaddy characters and Agents in person, giving you a package in person to give in person. A Minmatar pod-pilot delivering a Death Message to an Amarrian Priest in person, surrounded by slave dogs and inside an Amarr Temple. Ooo, the adrenaline levels would rise for sure!
But back on to the main point, Ambulation will not lessen the amount of players in space. Pilots have to make Isk out there somehow, not by just staying in station and begging others for it. And if someone constantly is begging, go over to a NPC guard or cop, point to the begger, and let the authorities handle the situation.
"Move along, sir." "1 wAn7 7h3 15kssss!11!one" "Your talking garbage. Alright, cuff him." "WAIT! I CAN TALK! SEE! I CAN TALK!" <Guard bashes the Begger over the head with a stick and anything the Begger types, can not be seen by others since he's knocked out >
Who knows? Maybe with Ambulation and the Exploration skills, you can actually board a derelict ship or station, take jewels and artifacts inside, and have to shoot your way out like that EON Chronicle "300 Rounds"  !
I do agree there are some things in the EVE client alone that still need fixing up<Where are those bug hunters?!>, however, they should definitely keep going with this. It looks great, players will get more interactive, and the possibilities for it later on are expansive.

Actually you do have a bridge with crew. In the fiction ive read, the capsule is usually a thing in the center of the bridge which someone can get in and out of.

No bridge crew. The backstory actually references this in detail several times. There is a bridge, as all ship designs include the bridge, however all the consoles etc. the bridge crew used to use are ripped out and replaced with the pod. There is no bridge crew, and the pod can be entered and left at will on at least some ships. -

Actually, it can be entered and left on all ships, and some do employ a bridge crew, be it just as backup (see EON) or administratively. The pod is a fairly recent addition to ships in EVE, and pod pilots are very rare compared to the actual amount of ships of a given type in space - as such, they're most likely an afterthought in shipdesign rather than a rule.

Here's what I'm hoping for:
Amulation as a precurser for a land-based / planet-side expansion. Charactors on a different server walking around on the surface of new planets. They'd be tackling different problems: - Ranching / hydroponics / food production - Skillbook / implant creation - Planet-side missions / bounties / outposts / buildings - etc...
Emphasis would be on visually arresting environments, territorial control, production, personal interaction between the players. It would be tied to Eve through the economy. In order to operate stations would begin to require regular shipments of materials that could only be produced planet-side. Trade would go both ways.
Something like this would attract tens of thousands of new players into Eve without detracting from the current game. It would be a diffent kind of player too. It's exactly this kind of product that's drawing more women into playing MMOGs.
Just me guessing of course... but the bottom line is that ambulation opens the door for some amazingly cool stuff.
Either way I'm really rooting for CCP. I hope they pull off something great.

Yep, i believe the most recent chronicle with a bridge crew was the one in EON 6 where the captain ejects himself out of an airlock during the planetary bombardment of Caldari Prime.

I'd support this, to be honest - Another set of clusters to support planetary interaction, and having people in the game who can or want to stay at a 'walking' level during their entire game. You could have different planets in a solar system vying for their customers and trade agreements, or work together to make their solar system a productive and juicy target, shuttling between planets and stations. You can do a lot without combat if you do this right.
A problem that will eventually pop up is the communication and naming though. When you start having 1 million or mroe characters with 100k-150k active at any time, there's going to be a situation where everyone is named Greg453 or xXxarragorrnxXx55 - There has got to be a solution to let people have the same name (after all, there is not just 1 Greg or Jessica in the world, to name an example). Another form of ID has to be used, maybe the character ID number that already exists.
This however, complicates chatting a little bit, and gives people a way to 'grief' by taking another's name, although you can always identify people by their corp AND name, aswell as age and other such things. Local will have to dissapear, or be reformed to work for the local grid instead of the local system (which would be a nice solution but difficult to implement i'd guess).
I am totally for having people which aren't in a spaceship though. You could even make it something of a compromise: Have people in core and populated systems manage planets in the 'carebear' way, and in the outer rim systems, people can hunt and combat each other or the environment as a means of adventuring/exploring, or even catagorizing indigineous lifeforms - Which could be procedurally generated in the way they can be in Spore (although, they have to stick with the EVE theme).
Possibilities, possibilities...

Walking in stations could be truly awesome.
Im sure it will start out very basic...
If i could have 4 things... they would be: 1) Have the devs play Face of Mankind... i played the beta, it was a flop... but definately shows potential its pretty much how eve would be if you werent a pilot, i.e. land/station bound.
2) Have a look at city of heroes and its bases... each super group can have their own base and deck it out with fun and functional stuff...
3) Have a view port... you "use" it, and it goes fullscreen and shows you whats outside the station... then remove insta redocking... and you can have people set proper traps with cloaking ships outside stations. redocking games suck.
4) A free avatar reset for all accounts... just 1 per account but still... it would be very very nice. Being stuck with a stupid looking avatar that might look ok in space but absolutely retarded in station would be really sucky.
Thats all!

Anyone thought about being able to review your own fleet before going to look at everyone elses ships?
Anyways, yeah, avatar resets would be needed, some of the older character portraits don't really stack up to well even now, and often never captured what the player wanted anyway.

I would assume it can be entered and left on all ships, however it has never been stated AFAIK, and it is possible a design may turn up in a future chronicle where entering the ship from the pod is not particularly convenient. (Of course removing the pod from the ship and leaving the pod is always possible).
I'm curious as to where the ship with both pod and bridge crew is mentioned, I don't recall it? -

Actually, it can be entered and left on all ships, and some do employ a bridge crew, be it just as backup (see EON) or administratively. The pod is a fairly recent addition to ships in EVE, and pod pilots are very rare compared to the actual amount of ships of a given type in space - as such, they're most likely an afterthought in shipdesign rather than a rule.
I would assume it can be entered and left on all ships, however it has never been stated AFAIK, and it is possible a design may turn up in a future chronicle where entering the ship from the pod is not particularly convenient. (Of course removing the pod from the ship and leaving the pod is always possible).
I'm curious as to where the ship with both pod and bridge crew is mentioned, I don't recall it?
I know one of the chronicles in EON had both. It was one where a station was suicide bombed or something like that. Usually its one guy in a pod, the captain standing outside, and a crew around it.
Oh yea, in 200 shots, that EON 5 feature story, the girl entered the pod from within a ship through a hatch.
