One possibility would be to link space missions with ambulation and also include charisma checks in the NPC dialogue.

Example:
Agent gives out a mission via Neocom. You are given like any mission the location of a deadspace area. There you do not find the target person, but only some ships of the same corporation. Inside one of the wrecks there is a damaged ship-log. From this you have two options:

1. Return to the agent and get a reward. Although you have not killed the target person, the agent is convinced you did the best you could and rewards you.that

2. Use the ship log to find out where the group of ships you have just killed have been before, searching for clue where the real target might be. In order to do this you will have to contact a hacker to retrieve the data from the damaged log. So you attempt find a hacker that might restore the data of the ship-log, in a seedy bar on a station.

From this the whole thing becomes something like an escalating path. One possibilty would be the hacker does not trust you and wants something in return (another small mission) or charisma and standings checks are made and the hacker is willing to talk to you. Some other random factors come in, like the hacker telling you that the ship log is beyond repair, effectivly ending this path, or he might give you another clue, that leads to the station where the target person has been before. If you follow the path you have to visit another station, another person, or another deadspace location, etc.

It would be important to have randomness in this story, so it does always be same. Also some factor like positive and negative standings should come into play. If you have positive standings to serpentis and hunting a bloodraider criminal, the serpentis-cartel, you might meet a serpentis agent somewhere in the station, that gives you additional information. Or a federation trader contacts you if you have positive sec-rating and high standing to gallente, to tell you, he saw your target in the next system somewhere. Or your Sec-Rating is below -5 and when you meet a pirate in a lowsec station bar and spend him a drink, he might drop a hint about the targets location.

In the end you might, or you might not locate the target, if you are successfull, you can report back to your agent, who comments your ressourcefullness and gives an additional reward.

These rewards should of course being worse the time and the risk taken to complete the mission. So if it was exceptionally difficult to complete, the agent might reward you with some faction module, or special tags, that can be traded in, in the LP shop.

Hopefully, CCP will get ambulation out with no features that will make people who choose not to engage in it angry. If all goes well, and the vast majority of people adopt it (assuming it all works alright, and it is worthwhile and cool enough that everyone likes it. PvPers, Care Bears, and Forum monkeys alike. I'm what you might call suicidally optimistic.) Then they can start to introduce a few things that you have to get out of your ship to do.

As a diehard Ambulation Fanboi, I of course support being able to hop out of your ship, and hunt war targets through the seedy underside of the local station like vermin. Right off the bat. With a particle weapon of some sort.

Alas this is not to be.

But I think having it be totally optional to begin with is the best course to keep the community as a whole happy and gauge reactions to it. Its way, way to early to start speculating too much on large future steps except in the broadest of terms (not that that ever stops any of us). Slow changes, especially with something like this, are best.

I was going to put a metaphor about when you are cooking with eggs, and something hot, and not scrambling them by mixing slowly here... I then realized I watch totally unhealthy amounts of the Food Network. I made myself a crepe to feel better.

Having seen the stunning sneek peak of the development of ambulation here I have to say im surprised. I was expecting a jumping hyperactive wowfest but it looks so cool and classy and fits in with Eve's atmostphere perfectly, i'm sure RP'ers are excited at the prospect too.

Hey CCP this is really great but can we get naother vid or som,e pics or a dev blog aobut it or soemhting because its really really cool :)
Like someone said in another thread lets please have things like drugs and drug running boosters stuff liek that. Have it realistic and make it into a carrier so oyu can go to those really seedy clubs and do oyur buisness. Like people saying it could become a really major profession. Especially boosters imagine how much you could sell it for in high sec so oyu would have smugglers and everyhting. Maybe they get bountys on there heads placed by the goverment also to boost bounty hunters.

I'm also one for hoping they will atleast add corporation uniforms of some sort...like a group of people enters a bar and everyone starts pointing and whispering "omg it's IAC! Hide the booze!"

I was disappointed to read there wont be any customization of clothes, at least to some degree. I really think being able to issue corp or alliance uniforms would rock.

This could bring new meaning to the term Gate Camp...

"Flight 9942 from C3N-3S Casino Royale now arriving at Gate 72B"
*lots of explosions and gunfire*

As far as the clothing goes - Yes Corps should be able to have a standard issue uniform, Maybe alliances, as well. My thoughts on that are that the alliance should be able to define a uniform base, and the Corp should be able to define smaller bits of it to customize it, i.e. Corporate insignias, trim elements, etc.

I'd like to see a variety of military style uniforms as well as civilian formal suits and businesswear, and of course lots of stuff like blue jeans and t-shirts that have funny stuff on them like "Gankbait" with a bullseye on your back.

I simply loathe the FPS keyboard keymap character movements. Walking forward with "W" etc. It makes my wrist hurt! Plus I simply hate this way of controlling my character!
