Forum/Website fix: Good.
Evemail fix and out of game manipulation of eve related information: Good.
Spacebook? Seriously? I hope you're ****ing kidding me. For those of us who aren't social networking wh*res this feature had better be able to be disabled. It is unwarranted, unneeded, and unwanted, at least in my opinion. Please re-think it.

Really good news that CCP is thinking of giving us access to in game chat and mail from a web client. I think it would improve on many of things with regards to the game.
Also was watching this video on Google website about Google Wave, I think something like this would be cool for the game also.
Like you said the current mail system is old why replace it with another system that is just a small improvement. Just go to the next generation and use something like Google wave.

one of the many things i like in eve is the fact that it is like a real-world system and all with charts and such. But what annoys me is that fact that you have to actuallly boot the game to manage your stuff, this project would solve that issue... i mean, i could even be looking on the market when i'm in a break, at work!

IE8 is the default brouser for Win 7. IE9 for Win 7 Is I think in beta later this year. yet acording to the access information I have its defualting to IE6 which according to microsoft will be decertified as a "Secure access portal" later this year(meaning that if you have to run in IE6 you will not be seeing the little padlock on order webpages)

In-Game Browser
We do have plans to upgrade the in-game browser for the Winter 2009 release. Indeed, a lot of what we want to do with COSMOS depends on it. One of the other Scrum teams is working on it and there should be a devblog coming soon with more details.
 /me faints.
Ok, I'm back. This is great to hear but I am going to simply cross my fingers until I see concrete details or get to play with it myself.
As for the name, I agree with others that is A)Confusing and B) Probably not as in-character as it should be. GAL-NET makes sense but I don't know if that is good enough to encompass all the people of EVE including in the other empires. If it wouldn't cause even more confusion I would suggest NEOCOM... It doesn't matter if Oveur really likes the name, it just matters how much beer you are prepared to offer when you suggest your new name 
The funny thing about reading this for me is that I am most excited about the in-game changes that will be made as a result of this out of game attention.
However, this is all something that has long been needed. Right now EVE kinda favors corps and alliances that have access to web hosting and people who have web tech knowledge because organization is key and things like forums and chat are not something all players have access to. This is even more tricky because it puts the burden of security and such on these volunteer corp/alliance people. Additionally, things like corp mail lick donkey because trying to follow a series of messages in order is like a guessing game.
So this new initiative is good, very good.

Rename the ingame Cosmos to something else and give the players that run them in the past something back for it >
- Cosmos items buy/sell on the marketplace.
- Make the modules at least as good as there faction counterparts.
We actually earned it, stop ignoring us.

I am very afraid about COSMOS, because i'm developping a portal wich seems to be analog to COSMOS for the last year. I hope my work was not dispensable.

I guess by choosing this name, it's official the other COSMOS thing is dead as a doornail ?
> we will be releasing features bit by bit
Yeah we have seen how well that has worked so far  .
Anyway, a new mail system would be very nice. Don't really care for the other bits tbh.

Sounds great
But why do you call it COSMOS? We already have a feature called like that. It's a bit confusing
Same here... I thought they would work on additional COSMOS mission content, not a new community site. Up until now, COSMOS has always been used as a term for the ingame mission content, this is pretty awkward.
But I do welcome the idea, and trust it will turn out to be good, but please clear up that naming confusion! |

seriously this is utterly ghey. If people wanted facebook then **** me they'd do that ghey ****.
Howe about doing a proper bug/tracking system or perish the thought fixing the long standing bugs ingame already.
Or actualy delivering on some promises instead of acting like some deranged bunch of ADHD kids who change direction more often than a spastic in a cross-wind.
Seriously, name dropping silly little principles when you clearly cant follow the first ****en line is like the apitomy of ineptness. "Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer" what part of clue did you fail to grasp :(.
Either way another undeeded feature and chance for ccp to **** things up.
Seriously what next - speed dating. muppets

I think people worried about it being facebook need to think logically for a moment. It's not supposed to BE facebook, it's supposed to be eve-out-of-client. Sure great if you can schedule an op you can all see in your local time and get alerts for, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be used for the things that make facebook ****. No ****ty quizzes etc etc.
The lack of ability to export mail is why my ingame inbox is full of crap I don't want to delete, but makes it harder to find new messages etc. The ability to see things like your eve mail out of game is long overdue, being able to send as well would be great, but no biggie. Things like POS trackers and skill trackers, industry job trackers, wallet order trackers etc, for basic info, really should be available in a web client. People shouldn't have to install third party apps for 'the basics' (obviously there will still be reasons to use those apps, for planning etc). |

Something else to look forward to at Fanfest this year. The screen mock-ups last year looked good. Please don't forget to include Alliance level functionality - I can imagine a lot of empty corp calendars with nothing going down. 
This is so important I cannot emphasise it enough! Although i'm sure you guys are already planning this in.
I am very much looking forward to the calander feature of this interface. It will make organising aliance op's a lot less hastle as it will alow the information to permiate through the aliance quickly and easily. Allowing it to be looked up, referenced, and prevent multiple ops due to poor comunication (sometimes cant be helped)
keep working on it!
ps. I would also like to have a blog or two re WiS. i'm very much looking forward to that. I dont mind waiting for you to get it right, but i'd love to know how its going. |

COSMOS and the API?
We are already thinking how best to get COSMOS features into the API. We want to give you guys the tools to continue to do all the cool stuff you do with EVE data. ... but it makes sense to get as much as possible into the API as soon as possible. Otherwise, as CCP Explorer says, ôlife will find a wayö and you guys will get the data you want by other means.
First of all I hope that the COSMOS functionalities will find a way into the API as they are released, not only because I wanna use them in apps, also because I think it's fair to the people who have invested hundreds or thousands of hours into their applications. Elsewise I guess there will be a feeling like saying "we are CCP and we make the cool stuff".
Quote:
Further Features
COSMOS will be an integrated part of the game, so we feel that when you change your market orders, contracts, skills or corp/alliance membership in COSMOS you are playing EVE...
The upcoming features you describe are on the one hand welcome, but can also have negative influences in the game. I'm not thinking of changing skills or joining/leaving corps from outside, that's useful - when you are not at your gaming machine (holidays, office...). It's market orders and contracts I'm thinking of. To make them accessible (create, change, delete) from the outside will partially transfer the market control to the people with the fastest and best coordinated software - like at real life stock exchanges. Even if this might not be accesible through the API. To parse and interprete websites even secured with https, logins and captchas is more or less no rocket science in nowadays. Me and I guess a lot of other developers wouldn't break the rules in the user-terms, but some will. I don't wanna blame it, if it all finds it way into the API, I'm awaiting it impatiently - I just want show things which might also have negative consequences. |

...Please consider using an IMAP/SMTP set up, as others have suggested...
...Another request to reuse an open standard, this time XMPP...
...Have you looked into using WebKit?...
...make your new COSMOS thingy act as an OpenID provider...
Too bad a dev blog wasn't posted before significant development resources had been spent. If Mr Spot had been given the opportunity to make this post early in the process, the customers' desires might have been considered. As it is, that very well though out and defended post was most likely a waste of time because evidence would suggest a team has already been working most of a year designing and implementing these systems. The odds of CCP switching to a new set of technologies in order to satisfy customer needs at this point is quite low.
Honestly, CCP repeatedly claiming they have embraced agile development makes me sick. The fundamental core of agile development methodology is that all stakeholders have input from the very beginning. Short iterations exist so that deliverables can change to reflect new knowledge of the needs and desires of various stakeholders. That can not be done when significant stakeholders (in this case the customer) is purposely kept completely out of the loop until the developer is too invested to change.
[/rant]
As for the name, since this is apparently going to include a revamp of the forums, I would definitely support Gal-Net (short for Galaxy Network) as that is what the lore (news etc.) has been calling the forums and official CCP announcements for quite some time. |

please, please, please let this be XMPP, IMAP based. Dont need another subpar non-core feature (e.g. evemail as of today, the ingame browser, etc). |

WALK IN STATION???? WHEN!!!!? CCP STOP IGNORING UR LOYAL USER BASE, IF WE WERE PROMISED SOMETHING, WE WANT AT LEAST SOME ANSWERS!!
How about some devblog of what u guys have been doing with WiS (if you haven't that project still shelved...), who care this COSMOS PoS, shell out something the majority of the users can actually enjoy... next expansion: better sovs mechanics, gotta be kidding me... how many of you devs get to really enjoy the new sovs mechanics...
Please pay attention to your clients...
As a loyal user, I'd like to ask you to kindly **** off. There are so many more useful things for CCP to fix or improve than implementing a worthless feature like walking in stations. A better website just happens to be one of them. If I wanted WoW, I'd play WoW. I don't; I want to fly awesome spaceships.
I agree with Theodore as a player for about 3 years i have seen alot of changes.
I agree that CCP are fixing alot of bugs that needed to be fixed before they release any new major Patch like WIS.
A project like WIS takes alot of time to develop and Implememnt so please don't rush CCP on WIS.
You have to know that this is not WOW it is eve online which is a MMORPSG and you have to be gratefully that ccp are trying to reduce lag and other things to make eve online an experance like never before in a MMO.
If you don't like EVE-ONLINE Riverini please go back to another game like WOW and leave the rest of us to enjoy the best MMO in the world.

You mentioned in the we'll be getting profile pages for our characters, but will they have any kind of blogging functionality in the initial release, as well as the usual profile features?

no offence there, but in essence you want to release a spacebook and so far the only headlining feature scheduled for release is a revamp of the mail system ?
the other "feature" being the fixing of the igb....
the winter expansion is sounding more and more like a quantum rise thing where you brag about the millions of things you did (i.e. fixing the game and keeping it competitive) and releasing the orca (i.e. 1 single shiney new item)

Chat Client
Out of game text and voice chat are both on the roadmap for later releases of COSMOS, i.e. after Winter 2009.
Does that mean that you are considering lifting the eve-voice out from the client so that it can be run as a separate program? (the fact that the voice comms would crash along with the game has been one of the popular reasons given against using the eve-voice instead of TS or Ventrilo)
All in all, the ideas sound very interesting, I'll be looking forward the winter expansion.

\o/ much love ccp when I first heard about this I figured I thought it was great. So we have to wait till winter hmmm, did u guys know it's winter down here in Australia right now?
I hear this thing is going to be tied in with some other social networks like facebook etc.... u planning a blog on this soon or any sneak peeks your willing to give.
also will this have some sort of chat thing (preferably linked to in game channels) so ppl can chat with players who are say at work away from home or just doing something else other than being logged into eve right now.
also interesting to see a lot of ppl complaining about WIS. just gotta be patient they'll tell u when it's coming and when it's ready.

Cosmos as a name is crap.
I suggest: Hypernet - sounds like a future internet, easy to pronounce during conversations, easy to remember, fits the sci-fi environment.

I like the Hypernet name idea
also for your consideration:(avoiding the use of "book" due to TM/copyright infringement stuff)
StarNet
SpaceNet
NeoComms
PodNet
WarpNet
CloneCom
PodLife
E-Space
StarScape
Could go on but mist are different iterations of what I already listed.. just interchange Life, Com, Comms, Net, and Space with the various beginning words. Just dont go overboard cause some of the results are fairly dumb.
P.S. I dont really like the idea of the social networking aspect, but since it seems we are too late to deter you, I'm trying to be helpful. 
Absolutely everything is subjective. |
