it is a nice addition, nice eye candy but who does anything in a station, beside sitting there for safety, operating a few labs/factories and buying things? I hope they put some kinda incentive to actually walk in a station or do something different there. Sure it will be cool to walk around in a station, in different stations, but after you memorize every corridor in every station, it may get kinda boring. And most of the stations in low sec to 0.0 are empty so i hope some kinda automatic resource allocation will be in place.
But hey, why I am even talking, it is not even out yet :)

It adds an entirely new dimension to making money for those Carebear types.
Setup a Bar / Corp Meeting Rooms and you can charge a fee.

I'm Achura so I won't be seen outside my pod,
where I stare at my hideous visage in the mirror..
and stare...
stare at the vile and abominable creature before me while hacking at my ENORMOUS PROBOSCUS with a broken quaffe bottle...
Not that this is an issue or anything. |

I actually see this as a good thing. In Earth and Beyond, you could walk around in the stations, something it's competitor (Eve) didn't have. So I see this as an addition to put the fix on the competition. Granted the competition is long since dead, but still.
Just one thing. The Developers need to be aware that Gallente and Intaki bloodlines have... Interesting natural hair colors. And as such all hair on the redesigned avatars needs to be consistent. If the hair is blue, the eyebrows, and other hair also needs to be blue. Same for our natural Green heads, and those of us with Fire Engine Red Hair.

Am I the only one who couldn't care less about this walking around in station stuff?
Why not devote resources to more useful stuff?

The social aspect of stations might attract more real female players to Eve, which would help alleviate the sausage fest which exists in Eve currently :-D
lol, that would be one advantage. This add-on could attract a whole new type of person to the game. If you don't want to spend all of your time in station you donĘt have to.

Actually I'd prefer far more ship customisation before having an avatar who can do some emote dance.
Call me a cynic, but I get this terrible feeling that walking in stations will just become another time waster to allow CCP to stretch out a little more EvE's rather thin content.
I don't see how different ships would enrich the game or improve game play. There is already a decent variety, fittings greatly increase the multitude of possibilities.
The great thing about eve is that its depth comes from your relationships and interactions with eve society. It doesn't come from something artificial like having 70 levels.
In eve we create the content. That's why we don't have to do molten core every weekend. IMO CCP should be creating more opportunities for people to interact.
They should try to make these opportunities more dynamic so that we can create better content.

You know, I think we look at this idea from the wrong perspective. Sure, it's not internet spaceships, but it doesn't have to be. Imagine for a moment, a whole section of subscribers who live in station/planetside in the game. They'd run on separate nodes to the rest of us, so they wouldn't contribute to system lag, but their world is still connected to ours.
Suddenly, pod pilot wars would get a brilliant innocent bystander element. There'd be all sorts of awesome resulting from station conquests interfering with their lives etc.
And it could certainly go further - unsubscribed account avatars could be used to populate the stations. While you're not playing, you're given an on-station life by the game.

As they said. It's worked on by a different team so there is no real loss of resource.

I think it's a cool idea gives the game some more depth..after all eve is evolutionary in it's process. As for a bring it on..interact with your corp m8's having a quafe or two.
Eventually plantets might even feature. Mind I would give that another 5 years.
Though it's kinda nice growing old with eve..

People don't do much in stations because there isn't much to do... one would like to hope that CCP wouldn't overlook that little detail.

I think a lot of people forget the RP part of this MMORPG and only see it as a action multiplayer game. Walking in stations would add A LOT to the RP perspective of the game. The people in this great Eve universe would suddenly get a bit more focus and the players would be more connected to their character then to their ships as it is now.

Just because there are 20 pod pilots in a station doesn't mean that there won't be normal people walking around, scotty the docking manager is sure to be somewhere and we can beat his ass abit for being a slowpoke on bringing in the new Navy Issue Apocalypse in the hanger.
ASwell as many other things that can be done, the RP'res would be overjoyous of course, and this is a role playing game, not a sit in local and be smacktard game after all :P

I hope they add some specific skills for use in the station. If it's nothing but walking and wallpaper, then blah.
I'd like to see:
fistfights (prefer not gunfights, but whatever)
gambling
sneaking around
ALIENS!!! (wait, that sounds like SWG, nm).

IIRC, one of the devs at the fanfest mentioned that full body representation and walking in station was being implemented in order to attract girls, ahem, women to the game. I belive the quote was something like "we need more chicks" or something along those lines lol.
A little example. I started playing over a year ago. MY wife watched me play and said 'meh looks too complicated'. A few months later we start up a trial account for her to actually try playing, again 'meh this game is boring, its like excel with pretty graphics' ( ). So she stopped trying to like it. Along comes the EVE-TV broadcast of the fanfest, shes watching it with me and when the topic of full-body representation and walking in station comes up, she perks up immediately and says to me "I would play if I could get out of my ship, I think thats what was missing for me when I tried the game before".
I am sure this is not representative of the whole of the female gaming population, and I am aware that there are a few women who do play, but in reality, I think they are right. Full-body representation and walking in stations will attract more players, and hopefully a good number of the female persuasion

I'm for walking in stations but only if I can choose my pants and shoes. Think of it, we all chose our costumes based on the bust only. What if the bottom half of my costume is a pink skirt and red heels? I'd be mad. Because I don't like pink and only hookers and children wear red shoes.
Let me pick my pants!

I think I would not be surprised if at some point this when this feature arrives that clothes stores open up, Fights fist or Weapons would open new skills ups and New Isk sinks:
"Telkanes Serkant Hits Thama Gebir with a Arm Mounted RPG Launcher Decapitating for 331"
Mmmmmmn :)
I think if you could develop your Corps HQ in a station with offices and such adding a meeting room, Arms lockers, Sleeping Quarters and Mess Hall.
Damn Man an MMO in an MMO if there are specific Station agents/missions for corp It could be "EXTTRRREEEEMMMMEEEE" Ahem.

This is probably known by everyone but me  , but still - is there an approximate date when CCP are going to start implementing some of this stuff on TQ?

No, they have just started it, and I don't expect it to be implemented before the end of 2008, and that is deemed to be overly optimistic by many.
Since creation of a new MMOG from scratch needs something like 3 to 5 years before it first hits the market, and most of MMOG design is already completed for EVE, I'd say 2 years, plus/minus 1 year (don't know how big the dedicated team is and what budget they have).

If I remember correctly in Earth and Beyond you could get new clothes and some of the toons were really pimped out. There were bars so you could get a drink and the female toons were hot. The guys really knew what they wanted 
You could really trick out your ship with custom paint and emblems. Since I beta tested E&B I had a Founding Father emblem on my ship. Good to start conversations and get some respect.
