( I bet trousers and shoes are flying off the shelves! ) Okay. With that post you've just got a spot on the ballot of my 10 accounts. (Unless it's sarcasm, in which case I'll just stick to voting corbexx and no one else lol) 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.

It isn't widely shared by THIS player base. OF the enormous steps that need to be taken, and should be taken, is this ONE of them? Not likely, no matter how dear to your heart it may be. You're the eye-candy fan? Fine. Info panels still rule this game. Praise be the text! ... but think of the childr- - I mean the girls! ... and the G.I.R.L.S. As to whether multiple avatars can be supported, largely that depends on your computer. If you are running around your CQ with max settings turned on then in all probability you can definitely have two avatars running around in low settings. Our graphics cards have come about eight generations futher on since Incarna. The problem was not that the database had a problem, there is hardly any data involved. The problem is the design of the avatars and the CQs. I suspect there are too many nodes, skeleton attachment points, the textures are too high, code not optimised and there is or was some flaw in the code that ran a loop, which over heated our graphics cards. (... and all the database tells your client is how you vary, e.g. make the nose 5% shorter and eyes 10 points smaller, it already has all the heavy lifting data on your computer). I lost a GTX 8800 Nvidiot card to Incarna, I checked the heat and it was fine, came back a few hours later and it was dead. I am still oh just slightly, mildly irritated about that. Especially since they didn't acknowledge it in any way at the least. However, we have better systems, with better cooling, there are tools to check your FPS, you can change your settings, maybe there needs to be some load detection involved where it turns settings down?

I can understand the novelty of an alliance "inner circle" selfie shot once. But screw the effort when everything can be done via external applications much more efficiently. Don't be silly, alliance leaders are too busy for this. This image is for those smaller corps in an alliance.

Character Creator has 2 developers assigned to it. Think about that before you start shooting for the moon. Unless there is a strong link between the EVE the game and WiS, CCP will not develop it in any way, shape, or form. This was clearly stated in the last conference call between CCP and players on this topic. Ever played with Morrowind world creator tool or done some design in Second Life? Making a spawn point for a character is hardly a new and huge piece of code. Invite people into your Captain's Quarters would be a big difference for a small effort. I don't actually understand why it is not implemented already. (You pay micro transactions for items that change your appearance.

(Stations and ship interiors that can be largely player built with the right tools.) You are trivializing the development effort. Neither history, nor CCP's direct statements to us on this matter agree with you. I am not. One half decent developer should be able to bang this out within two weeks. Let's run through some of the logic design from the top of my head. Player A right click the name of someone (Player B) and clicks "invite to Captain's Quarters" A check is run to make sure that player B is docked in the same station. If rejected, a notice is sent back. If accepted, they then load the Captain's Quarters, only it is the same CQ as the invitee. Redirecting to an instance before loading. If they feel a bit lost on how that works, they can go look at any gate and see how it direct you to load a ship in a particular system based on destination. CSM Ten movement for change.

I mean, we have all evidence immediately on hand with the sov revamp on the table. Take a look at it, does even a single element of the sov revamp move nearer or further away from Dust/Legion and Valkyrie involvement? It's further. I don't know about you, but when people talked about Dust/Legion integration, I was visioning assault teams capturing planets and stations while the ships battled on the undock to cut off or reinforce the ground teams... 'freeport' modes and random nodes popping up in adjacent systems doesn't strike me as setting a stage for that. No, its a purely EvE spaceship mechanic; I doubt even a single developer said "is it worth making a system that we can substitute Dust/Legion battles for down the line". I bet it wasn't brought up, or even thought of long enough to be dismissed. They might be approaching this from a Dust dev team perspective. Also, they might have it dedicated as 20% time (1/5 days a week) to one of the smaller teams. The new way they are developing stuff, it can all be happening concurrently.

Creators submit characters and whatnot for approval. If they look good, meet technical specs and work with the engine properly, and meet established design language, then they are added to a shop for RL cash. The creator gets a cut of all profits from the sale of their items. The EVE player base is rather small though, so creatives wouldn't stand to make as much money as they do off of Dota2 or TF2. I think creators are also able to test out their models in-engine with Valve games, which we have no way of doing with EVE at the moment. Player submissions could be rewarded with something cosmetic, such as a certain arm tattoo that has an increasing number of dots, snake heads, flower heads and so forth or the player selects one of those tattoos. The increments show how many contributions they have given andwere used by CCP. (It would also have a defineable number of fairly small textures and make the system fairly simple, while giving people public recognition).

Two relatively small investments in effort would be: - The ability to invite someone to your Captain's Quarters. - Tools to upload graphical assets to CCP to help them make this aesthetic and non-game altering environment. Both are impossible with the present setup. And the structure does not already exist, the glorified tech demo called the CQ already exists, and all it does is ape the hangar functionality, now that it's not burning up graphics cards with poorly optimized textures. Hardly impossible. In fact extremely easy to implement. Plenty of examples out there where single programmers have created environments where multiple players can interact. that greatly improves upon the CQ. And don't go all spaghetti code on me Walrus, the code to host a station environment is easily plugged in and doesn't need to be connected to EvE code, it just needs a module to securely transfer EvE data from the EvE servers to the WiS servers and back again. To clarify or attempt to do so at least: - I am not talking about code per se, where players upload directly into the game and start animating furniture. - I am talking about a seperate resource where players can dump assets into a "bin" for the developers to use. Set up correctly and the developer can press a key to "reject" or another to "accept" an asset they want to use. If there is something close but they want it improved, they can "reject" it and add a note on how they want it improved. They can also just cursor key past it and leave it for someone else to use. During upload the players could categorise these assets and there could even be a layer where players can browse the assets for inspiration, to improve things or make things to add to them in the same theme. They could also do a "suggestion" moderation where enough people saying that an object should be more from "walls" to "furniture" would then move that asset into that category. Another form of player moderation could be flagging "that is phallic" and enough of those flags brings it to a GM's attention who can delete it without it even being seen by or exasperating a developer. (There would also be subcategories, weighing off the efficiency of finding something quickly to use by going to the right subcategory vs going through a huge pile of stuff would have to be done CCP side) CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids .

However unofficially they support stock standard wine pretty well. We very rarely have a problem that is not resolved in under a week. I have had probably a total of 9 days i couldn't log on with stock wine in the almost 3 years of playing eve. EVE used to run natively on Linux I feel that the timing was poor luck. The Linux gaming community is burgeoning. More and more people are using the OS because there is such mouse happy, user friendly flavours such as Ubuntu. When Valve converted their games to run natively on Linux, they discovered that all this time Nvidia had a hardware fault and DirectX was working around it. As a result this caused a lot of graphical problems with ATI / AMD cards. They also found that their games run far, far better on Linux now. So, I wonder ... would some work in Linux maybe uncover better ways to render our avatars so that a number of them can be rendered without melting the average user's graphic's card?

The people that are here for PVE will never have enough content to keep them happy for more than a few years. Null already has an average account life span of five years. Just look at how people burn through content on other games. We could throw in some randomisation and some procedurally created content. Modularise mission components and shuffle them. There are ways to spice things up. However, I would start by putting new players in a Null Sec like system for an hour or two with a variety of frigates that have modules and the skills to fly them. Mission 1: Go fight another new player. No penalties, no losses, nothing goes out to kill boards but for a few hours it is like they are on the test server and can just shoot people. After that they get teleported to their starting system. Give them a big juicy bite of the pie so they will want to bake one and get that back again. @Chunks, try the test server, lose 50 ships.

Wormhole systems were basically ignored after Apocrypha to begin with. Industry works almost exactly the same as it did 13 years ago, albeit with a new coat of paint.
