The main question here is:
will i be able to take your monocle if i pod you? :)

---

No, clothing is destroyed when you get podded, but if you had a stack on monocle's in your cargo hold they will drop like normal.

I'm replying to you with my edit, so you don't miss it. Losing clothes on pod destruction seems rather silly from the lore perspective, or are you abandoning the fluidic pod concept entirely?

---

We are treating it as the cloths you are wearing are stored in your pod so you have cloths to wear when exiting your pod at the next station.

Again, I think this system sounds awesome. Quick question though.... When we go down to just having 1 "noob ship" style default outfit after being podded, will there be the other character customization screen outfit choices available for "cheap?" In general will you have cheap and expensive clothes? I vote for this.

---

Short answer is yes. This first pass is simply a tracer bullet to gauge response. The future vision is that after being podded you will wake up in a clone bay in a medical gown. Then you will get your free orange noobie overalls (or whatever we come up with) but there will be all sorts of inexpensive stuff on offer to change into or maybe you weren't wearing your favorite stuff anyway and you can just put that one.

Nice post, I'll quote it. We've been doing all this work to put avatars in the game because many many people told us they weren't immersed without an avatar. I just found it strange that this would be considered immersion breaking.

---

Make CQ OPTIONAL on docking (ie we dock as normal then can chose to get out our pods, with decanting video as an option)
Don't do stupid RL money microtransactions.
Don't remove what limited clothing options we already have so you can make more money.
Do allow the manufacture and selling of clothing for isk.
Do allow us to quickly change clothes without updating out portrait.
Do take the extra time and delay launch if that's what's needed to achieve this.

Jesus guys how much money do you actually need here

325000 subscribers/15.00USD a month 4,875,000 a month isn't enough to produce content anymore. CCP over at least the last couple years hasn't added very much new content at all. Incursions were just rehashed mission rats with sleeper AI, PI was and still is too simple to be even a decent flash game, the most horrible forum experiment ever and everything else has been a change or removal of already created content. I don't care about microtransactions for vanity or whatever. I am livid that you all have been sitting on your butts for years because you have no real competitiors and just let everything go to trash. We have just a laundry list of problems/bugs/incomplete content that we BEG and PLEAD to get any attention to , but always CCP is working on something else and even that something else is lack luster and badly designed. just like this Captian Quarters, its got no gameplay value, its not a shared experience (as is anyway), and is not really that impressive. While we were asking for updates and fixes for EVE, CCP replied to the userbase, "sorry busy" and now that it arrives CCP sticks their hand out and said the subscriber money for 2 years of not really working on EVE isn't going to cover WiS and they want some more.

1 U.S. dollar = 181.554103 Iceland kronur
2010 annual average gross wage for Iceland was ISK 4, 353, 083(23787.00USD)
At the beginning of 2009, CCP had a staff of 353 people | 165,722(USD) per person per year.
I know that there is alot of infrastrucure costs and bs ,but please don't stand there and tell us you are just unable to pay your staff to produce content cause that exactly why we're are paying monthly subscriptions.

April 2000 the company, with Sigur=ur Arnlj=tsson as CEO, raised $2.6 million,
thats what ya'll started with, you made EVE and haven't changed basics of it from that point and now with monthly income double over that you you can't even make a full expansion.You all should be ashamed.
