While i find the idea of ambulation in eve a fun thing to kick around I feel that it will probably be like everything else in the end when it is first put into effect in eve. It won't work there will be horrible things wrong with it and in the end the shinney new toy will be a let down to everyone that loves playing the game.
We all have ideas about what would be fun with ambulation but i think most of that doesn't center around the graphics which seems to be the main issue for the devs. I wouldn't care if the ambulation looked like Doom as long as its done in a way that makes me want to actually get out of my ship and walk around the station. Like interactive npcs and being able to shoot dock lobsters and in general do what ever i can do in space. Meaning there may be legal ramifications to my actions-Concord- but that i have the opportunity to do these things. If i'm allowed to walk up to some one and cap them in the head with my pistol then i'll be happy with it. Or set a demo charge on the clone bay of a 0.0 outpost. These are the things i think that really matter to the players of this came quality of game play not how the shadows look on the wall to there right.
Anyway thats my 2 cents,

Is nobody here a little concerned that the current game is resource hungry enough, without adding ambulation ?
The ambulation project will be implemented on an other server, an other CPU.
That way, people docked in stations will not generate lag for people flying in space.
Its one of the reason for ambulation also, freeing CPU for space cowboys.
No love for the Space Native Americans, eh ? Was it ever thus.
So, it will be a space server and a station server. Which server will handle trade / market / contracts etc ? If it is largely "done" as has been suggested by others, how long before we get a "when by" ?
I guess I am a little less nervous and more curious about what the game will play like once the changes are made. The idea of waiting while I flip-flop from one server to the other isn't appealing. I see disconnections for poor souls with above average latency connections.
Oh well.

Superb blog entry, thanks for clearing a lot up.
Combat in stations... hmmm... nice idea, but I'm curious as to how you'd implement it? Especially considering the comparison with skills and space combat.
People stand still and shoot? 'your pew-pew rifle barely scratches that idiot who's standing still over there for 4 damage despite the fact that you shot him full in the chest?' Quick, orbit that person and jump a lot!
Real FPS? the above but 'your pew-pew rifle just killed that person in a variety of horrible ways, he'd best go looking for a new clone'? Armour? Personal shields? This could get complicated fast...
Friendly fire? We don't have it generally in space, but then we shoot with superb but surprisingly ineffective accuracy in space... (all shots hit the target, only some have any effect)
I can see amusement value in getting shot in the chest because target A ducked out of the way of attacker B's fire, but also frustration and griefing. Add to that the whole wardec/CONCORD thing in high-sec and it becomes a little farcical or difficult to manage without losing immersion.
I look forward to hearing more...

I think it would be awesome to incorporate something large, such as traveling and interacting in stations. It would make Corp and Alliance meetings much more interesting, that's for sure.

this is something realy amazing. imagine all the posibilities.
at the time of the alliance tournament all the players could dock and walk to a holodeck and watch the tournemt first hand, standing in the midle of the fight.
you said you will first realese just plain walking and add other stuff later. i hope you take into concideration some ideas from these forums, since this is how alliances were created. also, make some NPCs which you or your corp own (employ) programable to a certain extent.

actualy if we put the walking in stations asides for a while. I would personaly like to leave the pod while in the ship. if you put the ship on auto pilot and then take a walk down to engineering to pry out the unexploted torpedo that have breached the hull and is very close to the reactor.
basicly allowing the pilot to affect ship operations by interacting various parts

I think this is going to be great. I, for one, spend alot of time just chillin a station waiting for something to kick off. I think it would be awesome to wander the halls without direction trying to look up sebestor miniskirts  Few questions tho.
1.) I just upgraded and bought a new laptop for TRINITY. Will the Ambulation expantion run with the same system requirements, or do I need to go blow another $1500 just too look up those miniskirts? 
dy
2.) Station windows? Please?
3.) When is it going to happen!?
I did try to read this whole thread to see if my questions were already asked, but gave up on page 4.

I've just restarted my Eve subscription, so I'm a bit late posting here.
I certinly understand about releasing changes and improvements to in-station activites in increments. It amounts to a whole new game, or could.
Which brings to mind the game SEED. Which failed not long after release I believe. Major concept, design and implementation flaws. Nonetheless, it contained a huge number of things to do in-station. Including exploration, repair and manufacturing.
Suggestion: Eve devs might take a look at the concepts embodied in SEED and see if they get any ideas from that for this new section of Eve.

classic
also to all those worying the thing will colapse the moment it comes out. they will only relese the basics in the begining, and everithing else, like pubs, bars, shops and so on will be aded later. some of the work might even be left to players if i understood corectly a post i read a long time ago. wouldnt be such a bad idea to let the players build some stuf inside, theres alot of smart minds with some awsome ideas amongst the eve players.

Allowing players to build things inside of their own stations would be good. You could do this inside of your own ships in Star Wars Galaxies(Luxury Yachts) and inside of player built houses and buildings.
I was thinking earlier, about the possibility of even planet walking - on certain habitable planets such as Caldari Prime, and using seperate servers for it like they are doing here with station walking. Now, that, would be awsome.
The thought of station walking being nearly complete is really exciting. This could add another realm to the sandbox and roleplaying.
I plow around in a C4 Battleship. |

It's been really quiet around Ambulation as of late... could we get a heads up about what's happening, maybe some new snippets? A rough release schedule would also help, but I'm not realistically hoping for it.

Heres what I know about it.
It could be released as early as this winter, early spring 2009, but realistically, they could wait as long as next summer.
If it was released in the winter, I see it as containing the basic package such as walking around stations, various rooms and offices, bars, poker, various games, clothing creation and other various items, etc.
If released later it could have even more mind blowing features that I honestly cant think of atm, because I am not sure what else CCP is considering adding to ambulation other then what I've already heard.
Either way, I am going to be in EVE with multiple active subscriptions until either the world ends, or the servers close... And I have to say, Its more likely the world would end first lol.

I hope they'll aim for the tactical 3D map in stations corp office first.
That's really the best idea ever for fleet commanders.
Adding the clothes, gambling stuff is really useless for a first release imo.
Get all stations rooms, avatars rendered then add the corp office, FC tactical map and add it ! torfiii !!

Would it be possible to get an update from CCP about how things are progressing with this?
It's been a long time since the last update and I hope that it is still in the works!
Sitting in the M. Board Room and being served tea by a secretary as I browse the weeks sales figures sounds like massive amounts of fun!
Hopefully there will be an update soon!

So were going to play a game, in a game, thats based upon the game that we're currently playing, I dont think even WoW would step down to something like that. I rather just play poker or Blackjack or something, to keep it realistic and have something to make or lose Isk. |
