I'd like to know how the nipple textures are coming along. If there are no nipple textures planned, I'd like to know now so I can stop waiting in eager anticipation for WIS feature.

Otherwise, I'll patiently wait as long as it takes to get the perfect, most optimized, and most varied nipple textures.

I do not blame them for not adding in a combat system in to the walk in station implementation to there game. Also it may intimidate the new players just starting eve. the game its self is complex enough and turns away new players that are more suited for simpler mmo platforms. adding an in station combat system would mostly add more of a learning curve to the game.

Here is an example of what we have running in our engine at the moment. This character model is 8500 polygons and is rigged with a skeleton for limbs, fingers and face.

No reraly nead for walk in stacion.This game is allready time consuming.

You gotta look ahead at what this could lead to though, like being able to fly into planets atmospheres and walk around on a planet. Plus something like this will generate press which brings new players to the game, and a larger player base isn't a bad thing.

8500 polys? CCP do you want to kill our computers or let us play your game?
8500 is too much for a character, if that, how much each ship in Eve and station has? I m saying, no pc will hold 8500 polys in a character, not even if we have a good looking station, the processor will explode with all that, guys, try reducing the poly count.
taking away this part, I liked the char and the images.

You're MASSIVELY underestimating the poly counts that modern PCs - or even fairly old ones - can handle, and how easily they are handled. Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2 had 8,323 polygons, making her roughly equivalent to a proposed EVE avatar, and yet millions of people worldwide have played that game without their processors exploding every time Alyx is in view.

Or how about "Gears of War"? The protagonist, Marcus, had 15,000 polygons, nearly twice the EVE proposal, and the wretches - which can attack in packs of ten or twelve - have about 11,500. Even Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 4 had 10,000 polys, and that was a GameCube game.

Some of the weapon models in Unreal Tournament 3 climb as high as 12,500 polys.

If anything, I'd say CCP are being very conservative with their poly budgets in an effort to ensure that even comparatively creaky old rigs can handle Ambulation.

Meaning no offense, Keuel, but you really should do some research in future, before venturing an opinion. It's amazing how easy it is to avoid making yourself looking like a fool if you just put some time and effort into getting your facts straight first.

Only one problem there. In GeOW there are at max a dozen characters on screen in one time, and I bet enemies are not as detailed as main badass one. Alyx is one of most detailed models in entire game in HL2.

With 8500 polys per character... how many polys would you need to render on Jita 4-4?
