Don't worry, I think we can handle it.
It would be quite a christmas surprise for CCP to allow us out into some sort of common area. Id love to see it happen.

It would be OK if it was a feature that did not effect anything, like a WiS common area mainly of interest to role players. So what if that breaks in some amazingly silly way? Those with interest in the feature will learn to deal with it, and those without interest in the feature will go do something else.

Aye I remember seeing the file names come by while watching an update.
The "Key to the door" BP" requires a Villard wheel. That item was originally needed to make a T1 perpetual motion machine. You had to invent a T2 perpetual motion machine to get a bill of materials that did not include a Villard wheel.
So maybe what we will need to do is make a T2 BPC for the key.

Lets say we get the Key BPO, but cannot do anything with it. Will CCP change the door message from "Station environment not yet decontaminated for capsuleer consumption" to "You do not possess a key to the door"?

You log in.

You walk to the door.
You mouse over to open it.
A holo-effect appears with the key.
You click it.
A system message appears saying that "The door is unlocked".
You open the door.
-------- Entering station... ---------
eve.exe has stopped working
So all of us who do not use eve.exe, but use eve.app (Mac users) will be the only ones who can use the station?
Cool!

The claim they have made is with multiple avatars they will reduce detail as needed to make it work. But I got no idea if sufficient "reduced detail" to get it to work on existing hardware in the client population leaves anything recognizable as an avatar. That may be an issue that is holding up the entire effort.

Wich made me think that CCP will maybe launch WiS pretty soon ..... wich the key is logicaly attached to the only door in Captain's quarter wich is WiS...... so I will cross my fingers and hope for the best! Have you looked up the blueprint?
Sure. So either:
Villard wheels could be added to the game, or
The BPO can be researched into a T2 BPC that does not need a Villard wheel, just like the old perpetual motion machine BPO.

One of my accounts did get a key. Does not seem to do anything, pushing the door button gives the same result as before. If reprocessed (no I did not do it, I just looked at the results) it would produce Villard wheels (among lots of other stuff).

By the looks of it most of you are really enjoying the gifts and getting a laugh out of them, which was the whole point.
Well, you may now commence laughing at me. Those of you who got the Key Pass to Open the Door were supposed to get the BPO for it; you were not supposed to get the actual item. I made a mistake and copy and pasted the wrong ID number which was used in the script for handing these out resulting in you getting the wrong item.
/face_desk
Just so you are all aware and don't go trying to horde those keys I am talking to our operations guys and seeing what we can do to get it swapped around.
Sorry about that!
So I should reprocess it so I have Villard wheels?

I'm going to build a perpetual motion machine ;)
I'm also going to buy more keys, and try to hide them in plastic wrap ;))) lol...
There are many many Villard wheels all over contracts. I'm wondering what CCP Foxfour is going to do........

I could see all Keys turning into Key BPOs and all Villard wheels turning into Mechanical parts. But..maybe CCP will just accept things as they are.

After all, lets face it, we don't need to worry about too many avatars in stations creating a load on our machines because clearly no one wants WiS and thus the stations will be empty without some kind of meaningful game play. 
Ah, if only. I got a feeling the coding needed for that to happen is still a few Dev-years of work away. We just don't know how close they got, or how far away its gotten due to other code changes in the last year.
But it would be nice if we got an update along with the words "we decided to make the rest of the station available. Go out the door, explore, meet each other".
