to see operation planning rooms - I bet they will be in EVE too because they are obviously done by the same design team as EVE captain quarters (Dust quarters are identical). Could be nice to see them sooner rather than later.

Indeed. Unfortunatly, these are not coming in Retribution, this is a shot that was composited and not representative of any new ingame hangar development.

Would you like new hangars btw?

new station environments PLEASE!!! i want to look out of port windows into space too damnit!

I'm curious. How would people feel about making the CQ and hangar separate? For instance, take the CQ and expand it. Add some more toys and other flair to it and maybe add an extra level or two. Maybe have a small drone or something flying around cleaning and doing drone stuff lol.

Then have 2 windows. Over looking directly into/overlooking the hangar and the other facing into space showing what's going on outside in realtime assuming it's feasible of course.

Now, instead of putting the ship "in the CQ," make it visible in the CQ, but instead have a door which you can walk through that loads, hopefully quickly, into the hangar and you can walk around your ship or on the dock or whatever. And, out here, you can have your crew or more drones and stuff doing whatever it is they do which would hopefully add some life to the scene.

I dunno, just an idea I was throwing around. Not sure if making he CQ and hangar separate would be even remotely necessary, but I just thought it might make things easier to render and all that jazz. Who knows.

Are all Icelandic Females that hot?

Time to stock up on militants and exotic dancers.

EDIT: Also add the ability to reprocess Homeless, Group of Homeless, and Large Group of Homeless.

Just send them to populate null-sec.

No, CCP should give us BPOs for Clones and let us mass produce ourselves by reprocessing Livestock (and frozen corpses) into component pieces (read: organs) and adding them to other various biological items (Autotrophs, Biomass and other Bio-PI) to fulfill the bill of materials for the Clone BPOs.

That's what I want, it'll have my ship and 2 small boxes. One with a bat flying out of it

Id love new hangers but id love it even more as a PUBLIC AREA that you can open (by default its open) or close to the public. In the area people can see the fit of your active ship and also get to walk around under it. Another good area for eve would be a hanger in the station that contains all your "stuff" and its fullness depends on how much stuff you have in the station, again open as a public instance or private area.

Ugh, all my stuff would like a giant mess, cuase I collect all the stuff I do from missions. Havn't sold anything or refined anything for a year.

Oh most definitely yes. Instead of just having your ship float over a pad I would love it to be actually docked. Docked in a massive hangar with maintenance bots flying all over it and in the background other ships and loading docks and so on. If they'd have umbilicals connecting to the ship that would be a plus but I can already see huge problems in trying to accomplish that. Most notable, ships not having uniform shapes and docking access ports that would make it all line up nicely.

It's a nice challenge for you guys really. Create different hangars for the different station types for the different factions that at the same time would be uniform enough so they can accommodate every ship from every faction. It would say give it a go, it would certainly make the station environment more lively than the dead sterile places they often seem to be.

Exactly! This would be much more entertaining than ship spinning, and nice to look at when docked/afk.

Think about how many new players this would attract. When I first joined EvE, I was in the captain's quarters, amazed. I thought I could go down and see my ship, and was disappointed when I could not open any door.

This would be a great thing for new players. Who wouldn't want to play this game if they saw that?

I don't load the CQ because it's pointless, but the hangar starts to make my computer roar the more windows I open up.
I can't say I'd like the idea of a bunch of things happening on my screeen that is only there for eye candy; that is going to make my computer work even more just so I can stare at a bunch of lists.

I wouldn't mind some new hangar art, textures, and sound to just spruce things up a little. They can keep the flying robots though.

Sound alone would be a huge improvement. It doesn't sound like my ship is docked in a space station.

Not that I have the sound on.

I wouldn't call immersion "pointless". Also, it's not like anyone would be forcing the new CQ on you, CCP would obviously have an option to keep it off. Eye candy is not pointless, it is extremely important in retaining new players and improving the general user experience.

Most EVE players have DX11 cards that are capable of this, and I don't see why you should discourage CCP from this just because your computer is not capable of handling this.

By your logic, CCP should do nothing for eye candy. No graphics, anti-aliasing, etc.. Hell, EvE should just be a 2D platformer with a spreadsheet program if that's all you want to do.
