Impressive tech. (Not that I've been too impressed in general by the simple transition from animator generated to mocap movement, but it'll be interesting to see this and other steps beyond a "simple transition" in the near future)
I do think it's something of a distraction from the "reality" of Eve, but it could lead to cool places. Like...while you might not be able to bash the other guy's head in (and I prefer space for that...), if you can sneak between the security scanner beams (station management will beat you up and fine you if you're caught...) and beat a few security mini-games, you might be able to plant a tracer on their hull.
SO that annoying pilot sitting in the station? You'll know when he undocks and which systems (no more) he's passing through for a while.

If you're going to do that, would also be good to add things like silent alarms, rather than a straight automatic beating by station security. Adding the possibility for the target to know there's a tracer on his ship, without you knowing he knows, could lead to even more interesting possibilities.

Ehhh, I'm skeptical as to the usefulness of it all. If the graphics are as well done as namedropping your friends with doctorates seems to promise, the engine will be impressive at least. And I'm glad you decided to take a hard stance against the goofy **** characters can do in stuff like Galaxies and WoW -- but even so, is even a cutthroat bar atmosphere preferable to the cold, impersonal ship-to-ship and comms interactions Eve has been about for several years? I, for one, like it better that way.
I know we have a lot of pub-hopping devs and socialite forum addicts but I don't know if devoting this amount of game resources to what can (at least initially) only be a superfluous Sims-esque addition is worth it. But maybe I'm just a cynic; with implementation of gang rewards on missions (encouraging player interaction in agent stations) and enough stuff to actually do in a station not involving a ship this might go somewhere. Hell, I'd love to see it continue in that case until Eve is some sort of supergame involving spaceflight, rts, fps, mmorpg, 4x, etc. covering land, sea, air, and space.
But you'd need to merge with more than White Wolf for that.
Additionally, I spent very little effort on character creation and my dude looks like a nerd. I'd lose more fights in station than in ships, and that's saying something :(

Matthew,
True. There's a whole range of things you can do :)
More pointing out you can have "PvP" conflict without whipping out the assualt rifles.

1st, having actually read it. Looks awsome, but TBH if I want to play an FPS I'll buy an FPS.
Basically my thoughts as well.
Save it for the to-be White Wolf game.
Over time there *will* be demands for all kinds of silly 'emotes' and what not.
It probably wont ever end up beeing macarena dancing (as said in the blog), but still...
I personally just dont want to see that kinda thing in EVE...
So - Save it for the to-be White Wolf game.
(and yes I know.. the ball is already rolling on this.. But thats still my opinion)
I'm excited about the technology etc - Just not about seeing it in EVE...

I'm wondering how CCP will do the combat. Will it be like a first person shooter like Battlefield 2142 or be less twitchy (relatively) like World of Warcraft where you select or tab to a bad guy and press the "1" button to fire?
Dunno, after months of playing Eve Online, lazily targetting people with CTRL-left click, I wouldn't like to have to deal with twitchy in-station combat.

On more serious note, my ingame character is chainsmocker. Are you going to stick "that will harm younger persons" policy when it comes to such thing?
I imagine your name would be potentially harmful if smocking were harmful. I don't know exactly what smocking is though -- covering someone with a smock?
Did i screw up my spelling again  . Tbh i need to keep my dictionary next to me... Smockers should be smokers.

Most Excellent Blog
EvE is evolving beyond the stars.
First this, then walk in the starbase mobile laboratory, then build war factories on planets and walk in them, etc.
EvE-Online, the one MMORPG to rule them all.

Having a full body avatar in EVE is not without interesting uses.
Having played Neocron quite extensively back in the days before it started to blow, having corporate meetings was an oddly immersive experience. We'd set a time, and as the hour approached everyone would get to our office, the door would whoosh open and they'd run in and take a seat.
Odd etiquette emerged, such as the obvious corp leader sits at the head of the table flanked by his directors type of thing. No jumping on the table, etc. It was interesting, since otherwise we'd be operating in different areas and communicating over chat, but was neat once a week or whenever to get together in one spot.
Afterwards, there was even some socializing. Check out this new thing I just looted, that kind of thing.
Anyway, just thought I'd share

How will this effect the lag we see in EVE today? Will it make it worse? Personally I don't want to see this in EVE. This is a spaceship game not SIMS in space. I think there are plenty of other improvements this game needs. Keep the station walking out of it.

aye Winter, that was cool and noobs to the corp learned very quickly not to sit in the ceo's chair or get pwned. No idea if u played when they added customizable apartments but that was cool. And they also had trophies that u can place in apts that u owned.
The abilty to walk around in station would be cool and get away from the daily routine of space flight. It would be a nice, and sometimes needed, distraction. Just to be able to walk around or sit in a chair at the local pub relaxing reading the market or the recent news postings would be very nice.

ok, walking in stations, new stuff, nice. but whats the point in adding it ? dont get me wrong, it is really good idea, but i would rather see ccp working on improving true eve online, that on adding some 'less usefull for gameplay' stuff. so what that you are working on adding full body avatars, if we have lags like hell everyday. so what that we can gather inside the station and play snooker, if nodes are dropping here and there.
i know that this is some kind of 'side project' right now, but cmon, maybe if you werent working on this kind of stuff, we would get kali on time, not with more than half a year delay
just wondering

What about the corp CEO? Will his corp mates look at him with more respect or admiration than they would a stranger?
Is this same ceo we pod for ****s and giggles? 
Very nice. baby steps man. It's mostely on the private part of the forums, but when I first posted the step of getting outside your pod at rlmmo.com , there was a very positive responce. In fact when I posted a poll, about 40% of the people repplied that if you pull this off, You will simply steamroll the competition.

I played NC up until maybe oh... a year prior to the NC2 beta. So before the customizable stuff. And yeah, more than one guy had his corpse dragged off the boardroom table during meetings. I usually sat at the table and possessed a drone that I had floating around, and if anyone misbehaved they were eating plasma.
I think the EVE approach should probably be left as it is now, you dock and you get your standard station interface, but with a button to eject from your pod. NONE of the current major station services should be changed such that the user is forced out of his/her ship to access them. That would be too much of a shock in terms of suddenly facing a timesink to go to the market and buy an item, for instance.

To those voicing concerns this will create tremendous amounts of lag for the players in space, is a waste of resources, etc., please keep in mind that PvE and/or PvP is not something that appeals to the entire player base and different players enjoy different things. A number of players have asked formsomething along these lines since launch, and we have an opportunity to invest time in this technology for future projects.
As t0rfi stated in the blog, if this is not something you wish to take part in, you will not be forced to do so. You will still have the option to use the current interface for all station services and will not have to use the out of pod interface.

EVE is not the game for this kind of thing. I'm glad that it will only be an added extra, because I want no part of it. I just feel the direction EVE is going in is wrong.

I think this is the best thing ever. I want more from EvE than 'just being a ship' but I dont have the time to get mixed up in all the politics ect anymore.
I think this will give people like me a added part of eve to immerse themselves in.
I love this game, but for people without a lot of time to play, or solo players, there isnt much content left when you have been playing for nearly 3 years.
Hope it doesnt take to long to get this going
