Watch the new devblog video. At around 1:36 you can see a preview of what looks like new station environments incoming. Notice there's a lot more activity and "life." Wouldn't be surprised if the dancing girls return to the Gallente stations.

I would sacrifice ship spinning on a Satanic altar if it meant the interiors could look like that.

link for said video please.

I dunno...there COULD be some merit to it. I remember when WiS was in early developement and they were showing sketch images of your character right up next to your ship. You could really see just how big the ship really was. This really does look like an unfinished launch video though. Thats the new Caldari Destroyer in what looks like a shipyard being built.

I still to this day can't figure out why CCP decided to replace that with Captains Closet. Oh well...

When Captain's Closet was on Singularity you could really get a good sense of the scale of your ship from the balcony. Then a few people complained about feeling emasculated by their big scary battleships and it was changed to what we have now.

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

I'm really enjoying that screenshot. It has a few people milling about on the deck, which gives off a pretty good scale of how large your ships are, and how big the station is compared to that. Kind of awe inspiring, if you ask me.

This is an actual in-game screenshot.

station environment?
oh right, that's the thing i turn off every time i reinstall eve. (that isnt likely to ever change.)

If Devs spent more time on WiS and less time on shootout scenes with candy, We might be getting somewhere..like BEYOND THE DOOR...

New station hangers would be awesome.

kind of looks like one of those LCO landing pads, next to a sideways acceleration gate with a station in the background, ergo dev haks

i want a hangar that shows all my stuff

i want pirate faction unique stations and maybe interior environments. its stupid to see sansha and angel stations using amarr and gallente models, use existing models like the battlestation for the sansha, the "jove construct" for the angels and the giant ship-like sickle shaped station for the blood raiders.

Not only environments, but atmosphere. if you have hull or armor damage, little drones should be seen zipping around and spark welding your burning wreck to keep it in one piece tell you decide to actually do something about it.
or shuttles like in amarr stations but are going to and from your ship resupplying your mortal crew.
incursion sites should see a spiky drop ship enter the bay very rarely and immediately get zapped by hanger point defense. Same for any drone regions. A police comet pulling over a quafe hauler in gallente station.
Pirate stations could have two frigates hot dog though your bay shooting at each other with a few shots narrowly missing your CQ balcony with one direct hit and a balcony shield absorbing the shot. And so on.

This. Actually, in the video, you can see heavy armor maintenance bots fixing up the frig, with the engineering crew directing it. This would make for some great station scenery. Also, you could use this to show off the graphics of EVE.

To anwser more directly: Yes!

Current hangars, aside from beeing rather limited in variety, are very static and sterile... the active ship, hanging suspended in space... boring.

I always thought it would be better to have a real "dry dock", with repair drones buzzing about, crew running around and cargo beeing loaded/unloaded.

What I want with the new hangers is the ability to earn medals that can go onto your uniforms if you are with a faction. Something like evolution of your character that changes over time due to actions or things that happen to them.

Just had a cool thought. If they DID add that particular station environment, the WiS would become way cooler as you'd literally be able to walk up to your ship. It wouldn't be what we have now where the ship chases you.

HELL YES (to new station interiors)

They all just look dead at the moment.

They need to be dynamic, with ships moving around inside, docking - umbilical thinges attaching , little guys coming out and doing welding (cleaning the windscreen).

Low sec empty station the occasional ship docking / undocking.

Plus pirate faction interior different - maybe nasty even.

Three words: Deph of field.

But a real hangar view would be nice... while we are at it, why not give ships with a maintenance bay an "internal" view too? Just dreaming here...

However being able to see others while docked would be amazing.

Just look into the Amarr station interior, there is this long hallway with other landing pads, but none of them are used :(.

Imagine you're preparing to undock your fleet and in the hangar you see all your friends in the same ship you fly and you all hover to the undock point.

Oh, and while we're at it, a "cutscene" kind of vision when entering the station (instead of the current loading bar) would also be cool. Just like the docking videos CCP released a while ago. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlFOhXlnJZg )

Dear lord, the sperglelords are sperging.

No, I don't want new station environments. Sure they would look cool but it's the same thing as walking in stations, seems cool, is a waste of time and development resources. Please focus on FiS.

Lots of great ideas for station environments in this thread....


but you should all be advised that if CCP tries to implement them, then the players whose whole life is all about the killboard will be in these forums complaining about how none of this content serves to pamper their PVP leetness.



Do we really want to risk that?

I think station hangers should have WAY more priority over POS's! How many people own or work out of a POS? How many people dock up at a station? More people in game would vote for hangers guaranteed!

I think station hangers should have WAY more priority over POS's! How many people own or work out of a POS? How many people dock up at a station? More people in game would vote for hangers guaranteed!

Surely this indicates that POS need fixing far more desperately?

Why? Even if POS's were so called "fixed" now less people, in game, would be using them. Point I was trying to make is CCP should be prioritizing what gets fixed by how many people it effects. If CCP is wowing new pilots with a nice experience when they first dock up, maybe they stick around longer in game.

I fully support their push to clean out old code as a high priority. You can't do walking in stations while your station code sucks (POSes are stations, of course). You can't do engaging avatar PVE while your NPC AI sucks. That, and DUST integration is a very high priority now, for obvious reasons.

I'm just happy to know that CCP is happy with the exploration-based avatar gameplay, and it's made their to-do list for the game. Now that there's as much certainty as anyone can reasonably ask for, I can wait.

They could use the DUST code for WiS.

8/10 Good troll

The usage of the term "troll" is about as used as that empty bottle of lotion under my bed.

So CCP t0rfifrans would you like to comment on ideas you would like to see for station hangers?

I wish for my cq to have a fallout 3 "raider" theme

Another thing that bugs me is that my ship just floats in station while my avatar just stands there. Where does air and the vacuum of space meet(it shouldn't)? Over there is zero-G and gravity where the avatar is? Can we have a believable dry dock?

tractor beams and shields

And in the case of Battlestar galactica, god and using god to cover bad writing.

Tractor beams and shields/force fields for atmosphere containment and damage control have been with EVE (and several other notable SciFi franchises) for a very long time.

Not sure why people would have a problem with it now.

Like I said before, It wouldn't hurt my feelings if CCP completely scraped the current ship hangers and redesign them and make the outside match the inside or vice-versea.

I wouldn't however like current tractor beams effects holding my ship in hanger. I think they need a better more subtle art for them overall anyway.

Not the point. In the game you see tractor beams and shields. You don't see beams holding a ship in place.

I want more drone thingies flying around that are casually moving cargo and inspecting and repairing my ship.

Also can be PLEASE have stuff like the 4 hanger videos you put out at fanfest 2011? Animations for our ships changing out or maybe the ship stays in the same place and we move to a different hanger? And even if the ships moving around outside arent player ship can we at least get some fake NPC ones flying around in the corridors between hangers? Maybe the activity can scale with the number of players that are docked.

And for the love of god redesign all of the hangers so that the naglfar can fit properly. I mean god damn, the naglfar has worse clipping issues than most super carriers and they arent even allowed to dock!

Give us bright and open hangers like the current Amarr hanger and the old Gallente hanger with the highways and stuff. Try to keep the layout looking mostly logical with structures that are clearly made for moving cargo to and from ships and docking clamps and stuff....

You seem to like a little less science in your science fiction than most. The tech level assumed by the EvE universe is a little bit beyond requiring a physical dock for most purposes.

Not that there is anything wrong with what you want, and there is always room for more variety.

Ok fair enough but then I would think CCP would have a higher "tech level" when showing this destroyer being built.

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.

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.

Would you like new hangars btw?

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.
