you were posting over the weekend, that might be why you haven't gotten reply but also because your concerns and similar have been replied to a multiple times (did you read all the pages in this thread? because I did and I've been replying many times)

but here is the reply from Lead Game Designer CCP Soundwave



btw if you type louder, maybe people will hear you over the weekend

There is an official thread and it's the feedback thread where they announced the planned removal. How this works in EVE, is that they announce their plans in advance and players can give feedback in advance. Said feedback will be taken in to consideration, but your needs and wants aren't guaranteed and can be ignored by overriding reasons. Having forum tantrums about it after the fact tends to be useless especially if you don't have solid argument behind you, unless you can muster a huge amount of players behind it.

The reasons for it's removal were stated in the devblog. Basicly it was seen as somewhat redundant with the current abundance of media players and streaming options available and an obstacle to developing the new music system. EVE is a grand old project. Features come and are removed from time to time to keep things manageable in scope. Every feature requires constant maintenance work. This means, that from time to time the less popular or unnecessary ones are culled and the freed up time directed to new features. It's not done to anger the players who liked those features, but to direct the available resources in a way, that brings the most benefit to the game.

As someone who works a lot of hours per week, I don't have much time to play EvE these days. I pay my subscription in dollars just for the privilege of EvE being here when I do have time. On the one or two days per week I can log in for an hour or two, it's nice to be able to run missions solo or to scan down anomolies and do a little exploration. I've built my own little empire and I enjoy maintaining it. I don't have time for much else. Even solo, it's a big, beautiful universe I enjoy being a part of.

But there are some stations I actually "enjoy" visiting simply because on undock, the view is stellar. (Nayheen VI comes to mind, when you rotate the planet behind your ship. Just gorgeous. There are others.) So many stations are in the middle of nowhere particular, just dark and alone, and there's considerable room to spruce up these vistas imo. Or at the very least, the hubs should be a sight to behold beyond the number of ships hovering at the entrance bountying each other. Jita IV CNAP would maybe look great at the forefront of a massive aqua nebula.

Seems to be quite a task to code that, otherwise i would have expected CCP to have it fixed by now.

Certainly massively annoying... considering one might have more than one char

.... undocking in one of those systems where you have close planets / moons and station and stare at the resulting scenery plus your ship for 30 minutes, your mind taking off and transporting you in distant worlds.

How to convey these things, these feelings, these memories to those who only see EvE for the trolling, the e-peen, the docking games and point at you like YOU are playing the WRONG game.

As i thought....not one real reply from a Dev and monday is a normal work day.. prity sure its not a bank holiday too... maybe tomorrow the weekend hangovers will have subsided enough to do some work...

It's funny how capsuleers are being directed to this thread from the other forum sections so the "devs are sure to see it" here. Only Dev to post anything here in the past couple of days was Punkturis responding to people about devs not posting. Really is starting to look like the devs don't want feedback at all with their lack of response to some of the questions being asked. Kind of disheartening really.

It's called "let them vent off for some weeks". It's a much used tactic in the industry when they want to tell you to HTFU in a kind way, but also by some housekeepers: "sweep dirt under the rug".

Last time they did that things turned real ugly...

Lets hope they learned from that point.

Nope. CCP usually checks in on these feedback threads a week or two post-release and then lets their customers hanging with open defects and poorly designed functionality. Been that way for the past few years as CCP's game design has gone down the crapper.

Yeah it's as complex as at login execute the following single line:

if (current_system_sec < 0.45) disable_security();

in Python.

Don't worry, Hardwick. I've taken that action for you.

Petition filed.

Faction warfare is dead. Sure, there's some epic battles to be had if you have a ship that's not missile dependent, but we all know how the Caldari/Gallente fight is going to end. The ninja patch 2 months early screwed that to hell and gone when they handed the frogs T4 zone control. FW is going to be a shadow of it's former glory, multiple major alliances have already left and more and more players are heading for the exits. There's just no isk to be had there anymore. Yeah, it needed a tweaking, but CCP severed the arm to take care of a hangnail.....
