Ok I love the idea of explorable procedurally generated stations/outposts so that there can be a wide variety of stations to be discovered, etc....
HOWEVER>....
Why don't you guys start small, before you go to that extent enable inviting people to CQ its a novelty, don't advertise it as a big feature but atleast the ability to see more than 1 person in a CQ would be interesting... Allow us to buy one of those nifty strategy game tables for our CQ, and place it wherever we want, and when people are invited over they can play it...
Something small and trivial but ground breaking... And on top of that you can have a "More people can't be invited as it would be a fire hazard" to limit # of people in your CQ...
I mean i love the exploration ideas, but honestly the biggest thing that i was looking forward to with the promise of WIS, was the station experience of going to a club thats owned by a corp mate, and playing some games with some buddies and making bets... Basically the EOH guys could actually really have an EOH area in a station somewhere in eve with a bunch of casino's and poker and other stuff...
Slot machines that the owners can set rates on etc.. things like that
This was just something that astonished me, seeing atleast some tangible forward momentum in the system is what is missing, yes protyping is wicked, but we need to see some tangible results commercially for WIS to not be a joke...
Procedurally generated exploration stations with the ability to fight and kill is where you need to get, but what about starting at the same stations where there is no fighting allowed yet, (that can come later) but that we can walk around, for the love of god...
WANT EVERYONE TO BE ESTATIC?
Add a f*cking window! I'm not joking here, or make the view screen able to switch to an outside view of the station, why should i have to undock and dock station game style to see if theres people outside the station?1?!??!? CCP has said you can render multiple 3d scenes, so why can't the tv have a station with the 3d scene is the status outside the station...
It's not much advantage really as station game redock is 100% safe... and hell if you want it to be less advantage than even that, show the area on screen but don't highlight blues/reds etc...but personally i wish it could be like that new tactical overlay that was shown at FanFest, but with the station at the center. |
