I was wondering about the following little things that seem to have get lost in the sands of time.
- Company shares
- Commets
- Gas clouds
- Boosters
- DNA mutators
- Contract system
- Player handicaps
- Race specific bonuses
I see none of these listed as being in development or as even being on the drawingboard. What is the plan with these there is some development done on every one of these and I know most where not put in due to balancing issues or programatic problems but most of it seems like nice to have things.
I know that there are other pressing matters that you are working on, hardware upgrades, MK2, loadbalancing among others. But I am hopping to get an awnser that is more than just soon(TM) as some of these have been on the soon(TM) list for yeas now.

Works fine, already implemented years ago.

Would require too much coding, CCP said. System-wide asteroid fields may come in Kali, however.

Nobody ever said that these were coming soon. But they are still coming ;)

Same deal as Comets/etc.

From what I remember, one of the Devs (I forget which now) said in an IRC chat that boosters essentially WORK, but generate a host of exception errors. So if they released them as-is, you COULD use them, but risk CTDing 90% of the time.

I think he meant more the stock market system that would let anyone invest in other corporations by purchasing stock. That kind of thing.

Stuff like Clausterphobia, where your character has a freakout and ejects from his ship after being in space for like an hour or something.
Probably pretty annoying though... imagine having arachnophobia. Some creepy crawlie drone comes after you and your idiotic pilot warps himself to a moon, where someone's POS shoots you down.

Do you have answers, or just contempt?

Thats the stupidest idea i have heard. If someone wants to role play that, go ahead, but if not... thats just stupid.

About two of them.
Stockmarket as is cannot work in Eve right now and therfore arent implemented. There's no groundwork system for determining worth, trading them, keeping track of their value or arranging for any type of shareholder security.
Essentially it would come down to a system of junkbonds, where someone can only hope that some fool would think that a hostile takeove would be a good idea and would start buying up certain shares en-masse before seeing his enemies simply reform the corp under a new name.
The contract system and other possibilities that would bring are a prequisite for any type of working stockmarket, and there's more stuff thats needed before we can even think of having one.
The contract system itself is still very much being developed afaik, something CCP seems to think of as a high value addition they do want to finish and implement badly. But indeed its status is not very clear atm.

I wasn't suggesting it, these items used to be in the game at one point if I'm recalling correctly. All sorts of zany stuff like nearsightedness, where your targetting distance was a certain % less than anyone elses, that kind of thing.

How in the world would near-sightedness effect you???
You're in a pod with the ships controls plugged directly into your brain. So, first, it's already bypassing your eyes. Second, the computer is doing the actual targeting. You're just telling it which one to shoot and when.
I can see why this wasn't implemented.

I did mean the actual buying of other companies shares and trading in them.
The handicap, it is an option that is in eve to give someone a handicap or make him excel in certain areas. I know it sounds crap having retards flying around.... Oh, well ok never mind that need not be coded anyway 
So now we are just sitting around waiting for a nice comment from the dev's something other than: Read EON

Comet mining had to be dropped because TomB was the only dev available to balance it.

You already get race specific bonuses, in effect, because your attributes are generally tilted towards the ships/modules your character race is most likely to use - at least, they did before the great Willpower Nerf of 2003.

No better answer, it's something we want to do and giving a when serves no purpose since we dont nail down anything down furter than our next two releases - and that is all still subject to change.
- Company shares
I assume you mean the stock market here. The problem is not the feature, but the fact that a stock market requires dividend to be paid out and a way to know that the corp doesnt just run away with all the valuable after an IPO. Otherwise, shares will have no value, thus no reason for a stock market. Why would you do a hostile takeover, when the player just run away with all the assets and create a new corp?

DNA mutators are something I *think* is referred to by one of the unused Science skills. They're supposed to let you move attribute points around or something. I dunno. All I know is that I've seen in-game reference to them before as well.

I hate getting old, my memory gets worse every day.
At least I think it used to be better than it is now .. but I'm not sure...

I think the DNA mutators reffers to somehow change the atributes of one characther(of course to a limit)... As I remember some charactchers started the game with high charisma, and secondary attributes...

You can think of it as an permanent implant which you never loose (even after death). As the name states, it mutates you. You get a third leg at the price of a smaller head.
However, this was alpha, even beta talk. Not been close to the drawingboard since then.

They are still there, right in front of you. They're just called something different and don't give anything negative, only positive 
(Which was funny to think about when I read all the doomsday prophecies about the new character stuff)

Yeah, but the odd negative could be fun.
Or maybe I am just twisted?

Oveur - since you are answering questions can you tell us if Faction Cruise/Torps will ever be released?
Every other race has faction Crystals/Hybrid/Projectile ammo.
Many Thanks
