Short Stories: The Jovian Wetgrave
Tells all about the usage and implementation of the Pod and how it interacts with the ship's systems.
EVE Chronicles: Camera Drones
Specifically focuses on the fact that what you are seeing in game... a 3rd person perspective, is what the pilot sees.
Fanfest 2008 Interviews: Designing WIS
Has an awesome collage of scenes depicting when a Pilot would get out of their goo pod, roam around the stations seeing the sights, and then get back in and undock. |

I stole your Camera Drone link... but I added the others all by my lonesome.

Oddly enough. Of all the random Chronicles that get linked over ---->>>> there... I see the Camera Drone story the most often. |

Please stop talking as if you knew what would and would not be used when flying spaceships IRL.
Please stop talking...
We're merely siting sources provided in the game. Who gives a hairy rat's a$$ what's used in real life.
Star Trek has a massive bridge and numerous crew compliment... not because that's a better way to operate a starship, but that's how to include several cast members in a scene when filming a TV SHOW.
This is a video game. And YOU are the star of the show. So that's why there is no bridge crew. You are responsible for what happens.
The virtual reality concept of the Pod interface has been used before, and reflects technological advances in the current single seater c-o-c-k-pit design. The futuristic setting allows for stuff like direct neural interfacing. And the 3rd person view allows for examining any damage without exiting the craft, as well as viewing all directions around you.
On another note...

****pit
So that's no good? Can't say c-o-c-k? How about dong, wiener, wang, schlong, boner, willy, johnson, pecker, rod, shaft...
*hurray for Thesaurus*
Come on CCP... let's grow up, eh? This is a grown up game after all... |

I'm pretty sure he's gotten the idea already.
And the topic of constant data traffic caused by a joystick has been talked to death in previous threads.
Everyone (except for the occasional forum noob) knows they won't happen anytime soon. |

Dude, you're free to post.
But Solomon Dawn hasn't replied to this thread since he made it.
So I think the very clear posts pointing out that his claims of "No reason why we see 3rd person" were invalid, have satisfied his gripe about the game.
And as I said, the joystick topic has been done to death.

I love forums... they're like an archaic chat room.
And sadly, no one ever looks for a topic before they post their "Genius, never before thought of" ideas.
Even when they do... they don't get very far when the EVE search function is useless.
I prefer to Google for stuff. |
