Should Incarna be Compulsory? (For existing station mechanics, tools and services)
---
Compulsory: when you dock you must leave your ship and go into the Incarna character mode to interact in station.
Optional: when you dock you can toggle between the current or similar view, or from the Incarna character mode.
Undecided: there is not yet enough information available for me to chose either Optional or Compulsory.
---
Please answer using one of the options given above. To make data gathering easier include any comments 2 lines below your choice.
Thanks for your time, Serious.

I think it should be optional. Either that or remove the 30 second time to switch ships, because I'm sure loading the assets like the incarna characters will take a decent amount of time on most computers. There are times when you just want to dock, switch ships and gtfo, and having to always be forced to load your captains quarters migt be a problem.

l2readdevblog Also, I suspect the option to not load station environments will stay. Okay, it's CCP, maybe they'll remove that option.

The only reason to want optional is to not have to load the possibly graphic intensive environment.
This is stupid. Upgrade your crap. Otherwise deal with it. All the same options are going to be available to you, you just won't be in your ship.

Optional.
When I dock, I'm not necessarily leaving my ship.

They said they're taking great care to not increase load times or slow down station interaction. Trust.
Maybe it's just me, but portraits are now generated faster than the old ones were. I wouldn't be surprised if the Incarna stations load faster than the current station environment.
Also, not leaving your ship would hardly change load times and probably wouldn't change station interaction.
While I agree that leaving your ship every time you dock is kinda silly, it doesn't really matter.

These two things are completely unrelated. The portraits load faster because they are now tied to the web based image server.
Incarna will likely be on separate servers but I highly doubt the load time will be faster.

Didn't consider that.. so they're simply no longer client generated? Explains the speedup I guess.

I guess it won't be compulsory according to this...

I have read the devblog, the purpose of this crowdsource is to see if anyone would care if they were forced to go into character mode and hopefully why (regardless of it being announced as being optional). I'm expecting the biggest reply to be hardware related.

Sorry I was being very vague. (srs) I really only tried referring to their promise of Incarna not impacting station performance negatively in any way, so it should be fine either way.

Yeah, this is another question on the census, Do you read Dev Blogs :P

All the station features should be quickly accessible from the captain's quarters or "balcony view". It's time for the current station interface to die.
Captain's quarters is single player mode, there's no reason why accessing anything from it should be any slower. That's what the dev blog actually says if you learn to read: nothing will be harder to access, not nothing will ever change.

Edited by: Zenophos on 03/03/2011 04:14:40 Edited by: Zenophos on 03/03/2011 04:10:54 I suppose I am undecided. I would say optional if station interaction via a 3d interface is simply vanity. If however, new landlubber skills will be introducted that will make it risky to interact with the crowd in station, then I say it should be compulsary. Though I must admit that I know practically nothing about the plans for incarna.

Optional for existing game mechanics.
When I came to Eve from E&B, I found it a feature that I didn't have to run from station terminal to station terminal to do the things I wanted to do. I'll never miss trying to find the RE terminal through the mob that was forever clustered around it.
From the standpoint of immersion, finding that shady character off in the corner of the station was kind of ruined when there were 20 other players talking to him at the same time. And if we have to go talk face to face with our agents to get missions, Toras Egassuo in Motsu had better have an auditorium for an office.

Undecided If it's not particularly slow, and it doesn't involve needless running around (it shouldn't), I'm happy to have it be either. I would prefer them to do whatever takes less Dev Time so they can get on with adding actual features.
