Right now im so bored with eve, I swear some days im only waiting to be able to walk in stations, cause I know Im not doing anything more than sitting in stations now and switching skills.
EVE needs more to do and not just crappy boring stuff like mine or trade.
I want to walk in stations now please :D

Personally I think it will take a long time until its introduced into Eve. If I would guess, my bet is on late 2008. There must be stuff to do at the stations and a purpose with it, so its not just building a 3D room with exotic dancers and beer.

If your bored with Eve you're either doing something wrong, or you should quit.
I myself seriously dont want walking in stations to become something like a mini game or a replacement for things currently done in space.
Fix nos, titans, lag, fleet warfare and pos warfare, THEN think of new things to add.

Walking in stations would be nice to be seen in Rev 3, not sure if it'll make it but either way thats currently very losely slated for the coming winter, so I'd say I wouldn't expect it any earlier then December, possibly Feb/March 08 if you're unlucky.
To address a bigger issue however, what do you believe this will enable you to do? The initial walking in stations is supposed to take over exactly zero current in game tasks and be completely pointless in anything other then aesthetics. Sure it'll look fancy but until people come to see it as something they enjoy or want CCP probably wont make anything important limited to walking in stations, maybe you'll get a minigame... but paying for a sub of a game just to play a game within a game would be kinda silly heh.

So if two corp happened to be in a war and docked in the same station, any chance it will turned into CS?

Nope. No pew pew in stations according to the devs.

If memory serves it is slated for Q3-4 2008. I could be wrong though, I won't start holding my breath until they release the patch notes.
I'm looking forward to it. It's not going to take anything away from Eve (the mechanics are being developed for another title, something to do with Whitewolf I think). The preview vid looked great and the map room looked like an interesting mechanism. I just hope that the person giving the briefing can drop markers on the map or filter out systems that are not of interest (i.e if you are briefing on a convoy escort you just want to show the primary and scondary routes with icons for covert listening posts).
I gather that gambling and such are also on the drwing board as well as Corporate office fronts with some sort of contract interface / market thingo.
Gambling would be very cool, I hate PvE and would much rather win my ISK playing miners and traders at mind clash in the bar while I wait for an operation to kick off. It would make better eye candy and reduce lag in space to be waiting at the bar for the rest of the squad to turn up, much better than sitting at a POS going "is our dictor pilot here yet?".
It sort of reminds me of Magic the Gathering. That was designed as a quick card game to play while you were waiting for the rest of the group to turn up for a game of D&D. Of course these days people get together to play MtG.
Once they work out some ruleset and mechanics to allow combat in stations it will be awesome. But that will be quite a way off and to date FPS reflexes have not played a part in combat (well not as much as BF2 for instance). Although I'm quite happy with that it leads me to suspect that if we ever get combat in stations it will be more akin to Guild Wars or Neverwinter Nights than BF2 or Quake.

Gambling would rock. I remember the card game in Knights of the Republic... I spend hours and hours in there, trying to win money, forgetting about the real game...

Based on the fact that station walking will supposedly be a port of the Whitewolf game engine, I would imagine the ETA is totally dependent on when that project gets a head of steam.

You wanna play some Pazaak?  Hehe yeah, I loved that game too. Would be great if CCP made some minigames like that.

It was said that it will come 2nd quarter 2008, what I remember since that is surprisingly quick. I would however not count on its availability before 3rd or 4th quarter 2008.
Can't wait for it...

Wasn't gambling in beta? Or did I hallucinate that? 
Walking in stations could be really really cool, or really lame. It depends on how it's implemented.
They should do a devblog updating us. And release the Hi-def version of the video. |

The nice thing about Eve is that there is nothing stopping it from becoming really true to reality, with planets where people farm ingredients for clothes, players make the clothes, sell them to traders which take them to stations all over the universe. Sure, it wont be here until maybe 10 years or so, but the cool thing about Eve is that it would fit perfectly into the storyline and also is technologically possible and plausable.

I've got to say I don't care much for it, I'm playing a spaceship game and hope that the walking about bit is an "optional extra" and doesn't lock out game content/take dev focus away from the main game etc.
If I wanted that to walk about I'd go play CS

Why would anyone want this terrible idea for a feature. What next? Planetary flight? I play eve for the spaceships not for standing around inside a station spamming /dance with 200 other idiots.

Obviously, you have never ran missions since you believe CCP wouldn't put something into the game that is half baked.

Why that? If you don't like it, it is not like you will be forced to leave your ship. It only effects those who want to be effected. But probably you just don't like others to enjoy the game?

Rofl. If you think walking in stations is going to make this game fun for you, if it isn't already, you are a fool.

Living up to your name? Some of us play for the story and for the universe we're a part of, not just pewpewpew in big metal boxes. For some of us, its about immersion factor. My first week here, I flew 500km from a space station to a nearby moon to get screenshots of "sunrise" as I crossed the terminator into daylight. That sold me on this game, even as I was a little disappointed by the looks of the Moons from 50 meters above the surface.
Personally, I wish it were easier to get closer to some of the larger planets. I've toyed with the idea of setting up a ship that's essentially a flying capacitor with an MWD and spending a day or two flying the 5000-10000 km needed to get to a planet's atmosphere. Would make a killer safe spot and screenshot location.

It will probably be released end of 2008, then be patched monthly until mid 2009. by the end of 2009 CCP will realize they f**ked up and release a HUGE patch just to fix ambulation, as a result, trying to dock will be bugged. Thus follows another 4 months of patches to fix the docking bug and get ambulation to where CCP wants it. THEN in late 2010, CCP releases combat in stations, causing an untold number of skill, implant, ambulation animation, SFX, and god knows how many more bugs. THis leads to another chain of patches to fix in-station combat, resulting in, at last, what CCP had intended from the beginning of the project, but only finishing by mid 2011.
I think that sums up CCP's feature deployment history.
