Who is the DEV who first floated the idea that our ships are crewed?
it makes no sense
every facet of our ship's operations is governed by our skills, not the crew's skills
the podster operates all the weapons, support and defensive systems
lets imagine for a moment that you are a lowly yeoman on a calradi BC and you need to so see the captain about something
do you go to a little room with a pod in the center of it and talk to a speaker in a console?
is it like John Carpenter's Dark Star where we open a little hatch and talk to the frozen body of our captain?
do you see that this makes no sense?
if theres dozens if not hundreds of people running around my ship like its some kind of office building, then why am I sitting in a bucket of goo isolated from, but lording over them like some sort of clone Svengali
really, how was it decided that ships have crews?
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

well that might be a decent answer if the question was "why do we have pods"
but it wasn't....

Table comes from a fanfest presentation by CCP, which I'm too lazy to look up. It's on the youtubes.
honestly?
that was terrible, really....
but at lease I know where this silliness started

Automatically of course, with some densely populated systems this would be near instant, while remote locations slower, giving a "lost in space" feeling. Add a chance for expert personnel with slight bonuses.
Obviously this type of immersion wouldn't appeal to some of you 3d Galaga players out there like ms puffy lips This ^ Also you may pay more for faster loading, the worst your survival record the greater the incentives. The longer you have your ship the more bonuses you will get. etc...
that would be kind of interesting
imagine your ship has a class specific number of crew boxes
as you take damage in battle you loose crew to death and injury
as you loose crew your mod efficiency slowly gets worse
over long periods with several skirmishes a given ship may be able to repair, but will eventually need to dock up to recrew if they want to run at peak efficiency
perhaps certain weapon types could inflict more crew damage.
problem is most sub-cap combat doesn't last long enough for it to really be noticed unless its a gang roam with a fair bit of action

yeah... well the back story here is weak
and the rest has quite a few plot holes too, but hey it's not a scifi epic, its a back story to a game
and in the crew department, its lacking

I don't care who says its so, it don't make sense
who the heck would sign up for a suicide mission? and in the billions
we must have depleted the beings of fighting age in the universe by now, or does that explain the large number of pr0stitutes people have today?
but really does my crew consist entirely of Jebediah Kerman clones?

Lore should be altered to reflect this awesome vision. Frozen corpses should be encased in blocks of ice and pods should look like futuristic refrigerators.
they could incorporate planet bombs with dust
the lower your skill the more they talk back to you and explode in the bomb bay

Dyner wrote:*points to all those windows on his ship* Pretty sure that's and indication that there's a crew.... Honestly, what's wrong with having crew? Would make the game much more fun to actually have to assemble a crew with talents in things like: Gunnery Navigation Engineering If anyone played the old browser game "Space Pirates" you understand what I'm getting at. If not. Basically, SP had crew you could hire that would affect your ship above it's base traits. You also had Morale and if it went to low...ya..they mutiny :P Also, the whole "pod pilot" thing is really stupid. Look at the ships...you can CLEARLY make out sections that would be the "Bridge". Why have a bridge? It says in the Tutorial that our "outside view" is from chase camera drones... Hopefully, with this WiS, they'll revamp some of the lore surrounding how we control these massive ships. Ooooh, ya...I so want to be able to launch boarding parties and boot people out of their ships; provided they lose the Boarding Fight  BTW: The human brain is simply not capable; nor will it EVER be capable (unless its size grows) to control a ship the size of anything larger than a Frigate. And if you use the "Well we have super computers running all that other stuff". Then my response is: WHY THE HELL ARE WE EVEN IN THE SHIPSThey are obviously, then, capable of running completely on their own with only us issuing orders for the A.I. to process. The "i'm the only one on the ship" is one of the major cons this game has for me. -anyways, that's my take on it.
are you sure those are windows?

What am I paying these people for? Actually, I don't seem to be paying them - how do they support themselves? Meanwhile, the poor crew in a select few ships never get a break. Hey, I've got 30 Exotic Dancers sitting in a hanger in Mormoen. ...as well as 20 Homeless, 40 Janitors, 10 Marines, 90 Militants and 10 Tourists. What the hell have they been up to in there for the past four years?

Also damage control modules are just a bunch of guys with fire extinguishers. Now that's a ship repair animation I want to see! At least on Minnie ships anyway.
It's not pretty...remember Richard Pryor?
