I AM DROOLING !!!!
Personally I can think of lots of times when I am just hanging out and would love to go to a bar. Play a game of Chess (from another thread) Negotiate an Treaty
Hmmm here you go CCP. Give me the ability to run a war from a war room Graphically see the regions I control and the POS's and there locations. The ability to check on the current fuel levels Things that should and could only be done from a station....
The list goes on and on. Don't think of the draw backs all but think of the potential !!!!!
I can think of tons of things that would be fun to see.

The day I resubscribed to this game was the day I heard this was coming.
This has always been the one missing piece for me in EVE, I love the backstory, the races, the ships, the combat and the gritty feel of EVE, but I never really felt like it was complete. Now it will be complete for me and the rest of my crew. I have a feeling that this could bring in a huge number of role-players and female players (including my fiance ) to the game, not to mention encourage the community aspects of the game. Especially since this is not a game where in order to advance, you have to grind up levels all day. You can just sit in the Cantina and sip drinks while your skill trains, if you so choose. This was always one of my favorite passed times in Star Wars Galaxies.
I know that a lot of people may still use the "hanger" interface, but I for one, welcome the timesink, specifically for the added immersion factor. I also really hope that the same system that'll be implemented for corporate offices can be modified and used for player residences.
I'm also wondering if it'll be possible to add certain accessories to our avatars, like guns in holsters, similar to this bit of EVE concept art. I believe this type of thing was also available in Earth & Beyond. I think even having a non-functioning bit of deco like that on the characters would be a cool feature.
I'm consistently amazed by CCP and their talent. This is one more step towards making EVE a true virtual world, and less of a game. I can't wait to test this feature out. Good work CCP, consider my subscription a bit of contribution towards your efforts. ----------

Hopefully this is handled much better than "walking in the station" in Earth and Beyond ... that was incredibly lame =P

Looked good to me. I disagree with the "it should be completely volunterily". I donŠt want them to force you to walk around to get stuff you can now do from your ship done but how many people will really leave their ships if there isnŠt anything that really requires it ? IŠm sure people will hold corp meeting or two inside stations or go check corp offices in station but the novelty will wear off and people will hold corp meetings on ts as they do now and apply to corps from their ships. IŠm sure there will be always be some level of use but my point is that the stations really need some "meaningful" content They are simply too big effort to be left as a novelty.

U know what would been cool?, if they had put their money for now, to fix the servers "lagg problem" and also the loggoffski problems insteed.
That would been really cool.

Eve players seem to forget how unusual they are. They play a game that basically gives them a job: - Mining (staring at asteroids for hours) - Hauling (staring at jump gats for hours) - Manufacturing (staring at god only knows what. I don't manufacture)
For players interested in combat, they've got to be willing to invest weeks (if not months) of training time. Until they've done that they're pretty much gauranteed to get owned by every pvp encounter that they engage in. Typically these are exactly the type of players who don't have the patience to drag themselves up this unusually steep learning curve.
Throughout all of this you're staring at a very sterile environment that all looks the same. So maybe the red star field looks a little different from the blue star field. Or the Caldari station looks different from the Minmatar station.
But seriously folks. For many players trying the game out for the first time, Eve looks like a job.
Adding avatars is about growing the game by reaching out to different kinds of users. People who are more mainstream. WoW is so popular in part becuase it's so visually engaging. A little WoW in Eve will make the game more diverse and it won't kill anyone.
If the devs are smart they'll add this capability in a way that won't take anything away from the current experience. New players will be able to talk and run around and go on quests or whatever.
And eventually the orignal Eve players should start to see cool cross-over capabilities that we can only guess at today.
I'm seriously looking forward to it.

Originally by: Ahz - Hauling (staring at jump gats for hours)
While I agree with your post, I would like to point out:
Hauling - Making your way through the depths of space and traversing gatecamps carrying valuable goods in a defenseless ship. Never boring. -
If you go into your options menu, there's a difficulty slider. Put that all the way over to the easiest setting and you'll be fine. |

Have they decided/announced how you will control your character in the stations? Please keep it mouse-based...

Wow! I've seen most of it in the "drinking fur-dudes" video though. But It look awesome.
I like how the size of things are looking more clear. Love the new station you could see at the end aswell.
And I hope they are building a bar for us. ___________________________________________________

Edited by: Mr Friendly on 09/04/2007 21:32:56 Edited by: Mr Friendly on 09/04/2007 21:32:34 I'd like to point out that even if CCP uses a strict cell-based development model, they have an overall budget that all of the mini-teams are beholden to. Money spent developing these avatars etc DOES take money away from the bug teams/hardware teams etc, simply because the money being spent developing the in-station work is NOT being spent elsewhere.
The high-rez graphics and dx9 client (among other things) have been pushed back already from their original release dates. How much money was taken from these closely related projects in favor of the Sexy Avatar?
I guess Ccp wants more subscriptions and knows awesome looking female bodies works wonders ;(. Too bad the game won't retain half of those new subs once the new people realize Eve isn't WoW. In the meantime, the existing player base has had to put up with 1 or 2 year old major bugs and an aging graphics client based on obsolete standards.
Fix the existing issues first, guys. I don't think we all pay you so I can see a full body-animation of my Achura char.

If they can put in mini-game type things that keep people occupied/entertained, then it would be a great way for new players to get into the game while they wait for their skills to train up to a level where they can survive pvp etc.

Sometimes it's quite entertaining to see in these threads how some people are stating rather stupid things. Based on speculations only.  ___________________________________________________

the money being spent to create the core systems, the real engine that will run the whole mess is dedicated to be spent no matter what. these systems, as people have been forced to say again and again, are being built up for the WoD game that CCP is going to roll out.
the options are A:ccp makes new stuff, eve gets nothing, its used in another game B:ccp makes new stuff, eve gets more powerful and interesting, its Also used in another game.
going to cost about the same either way, so wouldnt you prefer option b?
personally, I think it will be fun. and i sure hope I can get some little drones to swarm around me like you see in some of the PF.

<3 the idea
Some random thoughts
1. I predict new trade hubs will be formed when ambulation gets introduced into tranq. However it will also create many desolated stations because of migration to trade hubs. (Pretty boring to be in a station with less than 10 players.. some afk, some not fluent with the english language..)
2. How about walking in the homeworlds of the 4 main races (Amarr Prime etc)? Imagine what more the homeworlds can offer. Homes, corp buildings, shops, err crafting, arenas, planetary flights, fireworks, processions, streets filled with players and npcs, first person shooting!(uh oh it's turning into 2nd life/WoW/Sims Online etc) Some of you may frown at this idea but i'm sure there are some of us who would like to have these new additions.
The bottomline, having all these will draw more subscriptions, more profits to CCP, so why not? BADGER BADGER BADGERBADGER BADGER BADGERBADGER BADGER BADGERBADGER BADGER BADGER |

Edited by: skandalf on 10/04/2007 11:54:00 walking in stations? no fecking way i say, i dont want that in this game cos this isnt what this game is all about now is it, CCP how about focusing on fixing the issues ingame already without trying to add more broken stuff first, aggression timer / criminal countdown timers, the logging off, standings, GFX, and other hideous undisclosed game features. saying that you will more than likely introduce it anyway without taking into account the views / concerns of your long term subscriber base.
i also heard they are planning on introducing mini-games to play in station also and what do u think will happen when you are waiting for targets to undock from said station, they just arent gonna undock as they will be busy wandering around occupying their time and not undocking. walking in stations is ebil and out of order 
i say keep your walk in stations as its boring and totally useless.

Edited by: Joolie Jones on 11/04/2007 12:07:57 Looks awesome CCP, reminds me of Privateer where you walk around getting jobs.
Anyone who says this will not benefit everyone is not looking at the bigger picture. Yes its a fancy graphical addition which not everyone may use. However, in EVE, establishing relations with other players can yield benefits far in excess of anything you could achieve on your own and makes the game much more enjoyable.
I really looking forward to taking my first steps.
