First off I have to say the artwork etc is looking great, especially given that you know they've been promising W.I.S for years now and we have never seen it.
Second off the big one that constantly gets on my nerves is the excuse technology has't been up to it.. Any one remember Earth and Beyond? It had both 8+ years ago.
To those saying that this is going to suck blah blah blah, how is adding something that makes the game seem more real taking away from the gameplay? If anything it makes things more real, I'm if anything disapointed that we are going to get only single player area's to begin with.. this is after all a MMORPG! I want to be able to have friends over, I want to be able to go down to a market and buy junk rather then just clicking a damned button constantly or staring at another room while i'm in station going through what appears to be spreadsheets constantly.
If done right Incarna has the potential to merge the Traditional and Non-Traditional Scifi Elements togeather especially over time, we know at the moment it's limited to Station Enviroments but who's to say this is the be all and end all? We know Dust is aimed to tie into eve which is FPS, eventually there is nothing to say CCP won't add missions etc for us either...
Not only that it add's something I doubt a lot of the Capsulaer population has even thought about, if they ADD features that mean hey I don't ever have to get into a Ship if I don't want to into the game then you have an entire new section of the game which will obviously be screaming for resources for whom we can sell our products to. Make Incarna good enough / large enough / real enough and you may have the equivilent of a much tigher ran Second life effect only it's on the stations and with that comes increased demand for products... especially if some of those trade products become even more important.. ie water/alcohol etc food..
And on top of this.. it means that rather then 50 ships hanging in a dock or the like durring a corporate meeting you could have people actually sitting in a bar or the like talking going over plans, especially if CCP looks at developing even some of the EXISTING tools we have to be more user friendly in regards to the in station effect. Here's an example..
Alliance 1 is planning a big massive invasion of Alliance 2, they want to launch a 2 pronged attack and they want to be certain that every one of their fleet and wing leaders understand where and how they are gonig to do it.. They all go to the captains quarters where he's got a holographic map projected up and can highlight and label out the route they need to take, etc etc.. Rather then having to constantly go in chat.. 'Ok guys I need ya to set AP To here because if you don't you might get lost!'
I mean ok there's nothing stopping that continuing there is nothing in all of the stuff CCP has listed that says you have to change your style of play, but for a lot of people the extra immursion and simply having more options avalible to us is what a lot of us have been waiting for and the options that having those options opens up in future expansions.
