Just because someone does not think like you, does not make them a troll.

Stuff...

Everyone is a troll is you ask me.
almost all people expect/hope their post will get a response? so they are trolling.
It can be very general term

shall we try and make spacebabies (ingame)? That would make excellent content for winter expansion.

Great.. just what we need, CiS - Crawling in Stations.

Because in the Lore, the purpose of the pod to begin with is partly control mechanism and partly clone scanner. The pod, when it starts to detect a breach, fries your brain getting a fast scan to transmit to the cloning network. It's so deeply ground into the Lore that pod pilots often live their whole lives without unplugging because of the unpleasant nature of decanting and the vulnerability of being on wiggly little legs.

Walking in Stations goes against the very core of what EVE is. It has no place in the game. And the pod jacuzzi in the CQ especially has no room in the game (it's an insult to everyone who's ever played or worked on developing the game.)

Supposedly, they were going to explain away the Lore with something about using the same tech the Dusters use, except CCP cba'd. They've stopped caring about what makes EVE, EVE.

They've said before, no char-char combat, its not Mortal Kombat, its Eve and no pod pilot is going to risk perma death for a bar brawl. WIS is suposed to be 4 racial quarters with docking areas and station promenades with stores that are player run and thats it.

Stakeout time!

Anyone got a house across from CCP Zulu's office window, a pair of nightvision goggles with telescoping lens, and a couple of squad cars they can loan?

So if you start playing Left 4 Dead because you like garden gnomes, it is your opinion that the real problem with this pairing isn't so much that you picked the wrong game, but that Valve focused too much on zombies, rather than gnomesGǪ?

Get establishments/the missing CQ's out the door, yes. Then let it settle in for an expansion cycle aside from modest tweaks/fixes.

But the traditional space-bound aspects of this game are crying out for iteration right now. Null sec needs a damn good shake up, capitals need a general rebalance (not decided if carriers should be touched or not) and factional warfare is about 3 years overdue for iteration.

We need an EVE where small gangs have something to do, where a single power block does not dominate over half of all null sec, where super capitals do not camp a low sec gate for ganks and capital hot drops are not the biggest threat to ratters.

I would also like to see Electronic Attack Ships outside of alliance tournaments. I don't remember the last time I saw one being flown.

Did Valve make a big deal of garden gnomes through the trade press and fan conventions? No they didn't. CCP have made a big thing of "EVE Online is a sci-fi simulator. Here is walking-in-stations" through trade press and presentations at several FanFests. To call your analogy flawed would imply that there was some validity to it in the first place.

While I didn't join EVE specifically for WiS, I have been looking forward to it for some time. EVE is not an internet spaceships game. It's a game of politics, subterfuge, capitalism, empire building and trust. There happens to be a lot of blowing up of spaceships happening to support the actual gameplay right now because that's the main technical feature of the game.

The bottom line is this game is already 99% all about FiS (Flying in Space). The winter expansion needs to focus a majority of its development time on WiS (Walking in Stations). I joined this game mainly due to Incarna and that is the game play CCP needs to focus on. Sure change the warp speed on logistics if you must, but keep the focus on WiS.

It's what the players want, its what CCP want and its what I want.

Walking in Stations goes against the very core of what EVE is. It has no place in the game.
