Gyles	Posted - 2005.01.20 11:05:00 - [1] This might have been mentioned before in a post, so I apologize if this is a repost. i used to play Earth and Beyond, and that game was silimar to EvE on some respects, and one cool thing about that game was that you could walk around on stations with your avatar in 3rd person view. Instead of just clicking on icons for stations facilities, like in EvE, you had to walk up to them before you could open them. You could also interact with other players with physical emotes n' stuff. Has this ever been a topic of discussion in regards to adding this to EvE? It adds a whole new dimension to the social aspect of the game. Surely it can't be al that difficult to program of EnB did it... A game that is dead and buried lol.
Latex Mistress	Posted - 2005.01.20 11:09:00 - [2] Ideas forum Anyway, I'm for the idea only if I can grab a crowbar and beat the **** out of targets who refuse to undock but still smack up local for hours... If ECM is an act of aggression, why am I not on kill mails?
Pehova Mindtriq	Posted - 2005.01.20 11:13:00 - [3] we could have like a GTA version were you could beat up people and steal their ship in the station
jason hill	Posted - 2005.01.20 11:15:00 - [4] This was asked at the fanfest ...the answer was ...NO its tooo complex "THE HUMAN SHIELD"
Poie	Posted - 2005.01.20 11:16:00 - [5] You write the modeling engine, map out all the financial and technical adjustments to the server platform, and sign over the licensing rights and I'm sure CCP will read your post and send you a thoughtful and carefully evaluated reply.

There you walk around with a bleep running into other bleeps or into interesting offers, possibly getting clobbered. Would it look good? No. Would it be possible? Sure. Idea Lab. Convert Stations
Schroni	Posted - 2005.01.20 11:30:00 - [7] i'd like Walking on Sunshine... --- SNIGG Forums my videos
Anndy	Posted - 2005.01.20 12:24:00 - [8] i'd love to be able to walk around in stations but i think the devs already have enough on the list lol
Gunner Stahl	Posted - 2005.01.20 12:28:00 - [9] Fantastic... then when we are doing heavy mining ops it takes twice as long to haul the ore because you now have to lug it down the hall to the hangar once you get docked. EnB is dead... there's a reason for that. Get over it. _________________________________________ Ask not what your country can do for you. Don't ask what you can do for your country, either.

The Chef	Posted - 2005.01.20 13:12:00 - [10] Originally by: Pehova Mindtriq we could have like a GTA version were you could beat up people and steal their ship in the station Sounds like a plan to me! Then concord could chase you and set up roadblocks. Oh except, unlike in GTA, you would be dead the second you stepped into the stolen ship as Concord would insta-warp insta-jam and insta-gank you ==================================== EVEkill Visit our homepage
Geofferic Sidharttha	Posted - 2005.01.20 13:20:00 - [11] The problem with walking on stations is that people would immediately want to walk on any other large structure... like moons and planets and very large ships. Don't get me wrong, I guarantee they could double their subscriber base if they did it right... but we're talking essentially adding an entire other MMO to this one. They would almost have to have planned for this ahead of time, too. - - No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater than central air. - Azrael, Dogma
CYVOK	Posted - 2005.01.20 13:21:00 - [12] Edited by: CYVOK on 20/01/2005 13:22:35 Originally by: jason hill This was asked at the fanfest ...the answer was ...NO its tooo complex Actually what they said was: "We would do it, but the way we figure it if your not going to be shooting at or killing something then it is't worth programming" They went on to explain that the idea is not beyond then, perhaps in the future they will add a feature to persue your prey in the station (EvE FPS anyone, lol) but they have other projects ATM. -FYI I would be all for it. As nearly pointless as a "feature" it was in EnB it did some how really add alot more to the game. *cries... I still miss EnB. -CYVOK-
Ja'kar	Posted - 2005.01.20 13:28:00 - [13] Edited by: Ja'kar on 20/01/2005 13:31:10 Edited by: Ja'kar on 20/01/2005 13:29:24 Anyway, I'm for the idea only if I can grab a crowbar and beat the *** out of targets who refuse to undock but still smack up local for hours...* naa it prob woould not work, but this idea is the best yet, since we r on the 'never gonna happen' topic what about those fighter games where the pic of ur char was all bloody and got worse with the damage u took, that would be funny.... for a short time **training crowbar lvl 5 JAK
Poie	Posted - 2005.01.20 13:29:00 - [14] Also, I would like a shuttle service down to the surface of the Matar or Amarr homeworld so I could go play Peasant Quest .

Sun Ra	Posted - 2005.01.20 16:55:00 - [16] I want bar brawls in eve \o/

I never played E&B, but those who did told me the "walk around the station" aspect of it was really just a 3D menuing and chat system and that after the initial five minute novelty wore off, it was in reality, just a slow, awkward, clumsy menu. I think a station interface such as we have now is far better. Now, if they wanna make it so that ever station is is its own self-contained, Neocron, ten I'm game for it. -CR /* Cortex Reaver crtxreavr at trioptimum dot com "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, 1759 */
Bhaal	Posted - 2005.01.20 18:44:00 - [18] Edited by: Bhaal on 20/01/2005 18:44:47 I'd love to be able to dock at a station, on a planet, moon etc, then have the game turn into CS... That would be so damn cool... ------------------------------------------------ "for piece sakes!"

Vicker Lahn'se	Posted - 2005.01.20 19:40:00 - [20] Edited by: Vicker Lahn'se on 20/01/2005 19:40:48 People were whining about the Loot possession of Hagilur. Just imagine some pirate with a sniper rifle, laying on top of a ventalation duct in the hanger bay. The moment anybody docks, he opens fire. This could be going on in 0.4... Oh, and while we're on the FPS idea, how about boarding ships? After you take out a ship's shield, scramble and web him, and activate your boarding ramp. Then the game goes into FPS mode and turns into CS. No. Just no. This game is centered on your ship. When I dock, I want the easiest, most efficient interface possible to work on my ship. When I decide I'm going to go for a long range setup today, I want to be able to click on fitting and drag what I want into place. However, it would be pretty cool if you could see a crane hoist the guns into place and little robots weld it on... Edit: fixed typo
meowcat	Posted - 2005.01.20 19:41:00 - [21] i can live without the entire 'flirting-elf-birds-in-mini-skirts-controlled-by-spotty-teenagers' thing thanks. ~~~~)\~~~~~\o/~~~~ yeah but no but yeah but no but
ManOfHonor	Posted - 2005.01.20 21:50:00 - [22] Edited by: ManOfHonor on 20/01/2005 21:51:26 walking aroudn in station would be kinda cool, but a waste of time, id like to be able to do it, just not be forced too.... and no, no CS type crap, but id love to be able to kick a smacker in the ass an make him loose 100 SPs no more hiding in stations!! (btw, shouldnt its name be 'walking in stations' not 'walking on stations' on sounds like wer outside of the station in a space suit ) _____________________________ Honor Glory And Strength!

F'nog	Posted - 2005.01.21 00:56:00 - [23] I'd just like it added where when you dock you can see all your stuff in the hangar, especially ships, all parked next to each other. And you can click on any of them to board them. And, yes, I already know you can do this with the ships button, but it would be much neater to see them side by side to scale.
