It is playfulness mixed with a bit of common sense.

Relatively speaking, being able to spawn someone's avatar in your Captain's Quarters is pretty small, the assets all exists, it is just getting the avatars together and checking they are in the same station when the invitation is issued.

Imagine standing in a half circle, with your friends, around your CEO with his carrier floating in the bay behind him, while you are having a voice comms corp meeting.

(Seeing your inner circle that can be loaded safely in one CQ)

Hence, the inner circle comment.

The end result was that we've still got the micro transactions without any of the cool content promised.

What a success!!

WTF does any of that have to do with spacecraft?

Perhaps however that's dependent on 1 whether CCP allocated additional resources 2 whether those resources would hav been diverted to dust instead of WIS

My experience with project management would suggest it's likely additional resources were acquired to work on WIS and had WIS not been on the agenda those resources likely would not have been obtained in the first place. CCP might operate differently so I might be wrong.

Everyone should be a project manager. Useful life skill. One allocates and deallocates resources as they are needed / no longer required. Moving less than ideal staff and already allocated funds from one project to another is not good management.

As of August 17th, there will be about nine teams working on Incarna. Of those, seven are on loan from other projects - to which they will return once Incarna is launched - and the remainder are EVE development teams. The EVE teams can work on both Incarna and in-space features, but they are assigned to Incarna for now. Actually one of the teams is spending one and a half releases on Incarna, the other about three releases. So the resource cost from EVE is very contained while the size and impact of the feature will be massive.

WIS not Incarna. Aside from WIS Incarna included updates to graphics, ships, modules, UI, drones, missions.... it's a very long list

Captain's Quarters

A new 3D user interface has been built to support interaction with Captain's Quarters features.
The station hangar has been replaced with Captain's Quarters. Capsuleers can now, for the first time, step out of their pod and stretch their legs in their personal quarters. Please check out this dev blog by CCP Zulu for more information.
Captain's Quarters include the hangar balcony, where one can enjoy a gorgeous view of one's active ship in the hangar.
The main screen provides information about things happening in the EVE universe, including sovereignty changes, the Interstellar Correspondents News Feed, incursions and more - stay tuned.
The Captain's Quarters have tools that will make life for the capsuleer much easier, including the agent finder, corporation recruitment, planetary interaction, character re-customization and ship fitting.
A new camera system was built from the ground up to support avatar movement and various state transitions.
An extensive avatar movement scheme using Natural Motion's Morpheme has been developed to control your character. This includes an eight directional movement scheme accessible via keyboard controls, click-to-move and mouse movement.
Separate keyboard shortcuts for Captain's Quarters and flying-inGÇôspace, as well as a number of options for customizing the walking-in-station camera, have been added to the ESC menu.

His point is that's not all Incarna was. You guys hear Incarna and think CQ. I hear it and think No more multi JBs! Travel is ruined! Somebody working on "Incarna" was doing things that didn't involve the CQ.

Apparently you didn't notice all of the changes going in over that 18 month period, like the Tyrannis and Incursion expansions. It's like 20 patches and 2 expansions within that timeframe, yet you people seem to think that the only thing that happened was WiS.

Wasn't really a lack of content that killed Incarna as it was a lack of content, plus breaking the game, plus internal news letter threatening to break the game further.


Really, there was a lot of emotion going on in those times but it wasn't simply because flying content was taking a small break. That was merely the pebble that summoned the avalanche.

I disagree, there were heaps of features. Less than some other expansions? Sure, significantly so? No.

Effectively what you're saying here is you didn't particularly like the features they added in those expansions, therefore they didn't exist.

Bear in mind that there are less people working on EVE FiS content now than there were during Incarna because they've laid loads of them off.

And now he's a photographer too.

You are welcome.

The divide was a dainty skip. If you think that is far removed then you have not been in the company of truly intelligent people.
(I have had the experience with only one group, consistently, where by the time I have made the connections between two things that were said and then the third, the conversation had moved on so far that I was multiple topics behind. (Certainly not these forums, hurr hurr.))

Wrong granny to start teaching to suck eggs.

Welcome, noob. You don't know what was discussed when it was the time to discuss ways in which CCP could save Incarna. More importantly, you weren't here taking a endless barrage of flak form every troll in the forums for two years, until it was made evident that CCP had abandoned WiS forever.

We don't care about your megalomania. I personally have dreams so big that you'd squint the eyes if you realized what they involve...

But so far, CCP doesn't wants to let us share our CQ with another character, despite how that code exists and was being tested 3 years ago.

Capsuleers as dinosaurs, you say. CCP is not willing not even to release a few clothes...
