When are player built and owned stations going to be released in the game. Not POS's which are not the same thing as a station. It seems like the promised stations have all but vanished over the last 2 years.

Well player owned stations are supposedly a feature for the next expansion, "kali" though with the fact that less than 50% of the promised shiva features are in, and those that are pretty borked, who knows when that will even get some attention. Who knows, ccp could just shock us all and throw them in for that nwo but who knows really with ccp, until it hit's tq, treat it as vapour ware.

I like most of the other residence of eve have played with in the rules that define the game. Not exploiting the bugs found or searching for ways to ruin other playerÆs games. We have watched as eve went from a do as you wish game to one that demands you to be able to fight or have people with you that can in order to survive outside of empire space. I have formed a successful corporation and made billions, continued to prosper yet I am still restricted by the same principles that every one else is, the promise product has not been delivered. Is two years really an acceptable time spanned between stating it will be in the game to releasing it? I can understand titans not being out yet, but not stations.
It is frustrating, since alpha they have promised so much to the players of the game and yet delivered so little of those promises. It is apparent that many of those promises are to keep us in the game and doing the same repetitive things, killing, mining, building, selling, and buying. Yes we now have a way to control our alliances and the interfaces are getting better, but the lack of integrity to promptly deliver on that which was promised is dismaying. I have no grudge against the developers but if you donÆt plan on releasing it with in a timely manner after announcing it, donÆt announce it. I have waited for 2 years to build a station, yes that was my primary goal after testing the game. What did I get, POSÆs that are almost useless in the areas I need them to be fully operational.
So will the promise be full filled with the next expansion or is this just more smoke to cover an ever-continuing need to deceive the players?
I would like to note that this post is more or less directed towards the developers of the game and not towards players. If you feel you have value to add to this topic please post it.
Thanks for the reply Rawne Karrde

I must admit Ronin, you do have a point. Those days in Beta where several Corps were allowed to set-up full stations.
Then there was Armageddon Day and the crazy fun fighting that was had by all.
As for the stations, it is one of those "Soon"(tm) aspects. I also have been waiting for them to be introduced and there comes a point in time that patience wears thin. Im not at that point yet, but it makes one wonder about all the "Great Things"
Hilmar was talking about back then.
To quote a mission statement
 Quote:
We aim to create games in which the players are the central focus, and the role of artificial intelligence is as limited as possible.
Well, I am not knocking what they have done, by a long shot, as it is tremendous effort on their part. But, I have to wonder about all the material that was told to us in the past
Quote:
Corporations can own and colonise planets and build space stations from where they can run mining operations and manufacture equipment. More sophisticated equipment can enter the marketplace where trade monopolies are enforced with military power.

As a matter of fact, I would prefer the exact opposite, all npc station and conqurable turned into undestructable POS.

<edit: if only I knew how to do a thread link...>
You click on the planet icon with a chain below it after the Q. Give it a name, then give it the link. The text editor will add the code to it to make it a link.
the code is url in closed inside of ] and [ with the /url for the closing code at the end once again enclosed inside the same brackets.
Here is your link.

At that time I was not reading forum or chatting with devs...
Sure the large stations are nice to look at with details and everything but maybe if POS parts where physically linked, it would be better... maybe it's just an anti-minmatar feeling since their ships usually look like many part 'floating' together... |
