Originally by: Skarvl Mandoo How long will it take to get to your ship? If you have to run the length of the station, because you were off chatting it up, you would be better served staying put.
CCP have said they will be including travelator-equivalent units. Should make getting to and from places quicker. ----- I'll be in my pod |

I would like to see something done with those passengers I recieve from missions lol...Would be nice to have a way to drop a unit of marines off and watch them leave your ship...Another thing that might be pretty cool would be. if they are going to impliment where a player can walk in his ship, wouldn't be nice to have lets say another player ride in your ship and charge him a fare? or perhapse a ship that has a small lounge and entertainment area that fly throught the universe... Would be interesting to say the least.. would be better to catch a ride for a few isk then to shuttle all afternoon to the other side of the galaxy... ----------------------------------- I ain't got nuthin |

Originally by: Sir Hades I have to say one thing about what I saw in the video. Good job CCP. The movements are so fluid and it does not look like they are running around like mice on speed.
What I want to see: - Corp and Alliance uniforms We should be able to customize them heavily. - Weapons I am not saying we should be fighting in the station in any way. However, if I want to have a pistol in a holster for all to see, or have a sword as part of a dress uniform I should be able to. - The ability to push, shove, pin against a wall, hold at gun/knife point, or otherwise man handle people Face it, the Eve universe is not a nice place. While we should not be able to kill people in station, we should be able to threaten them. - Meeting in another person's ship Some meetings need to be very private due to sensitive nature of the conversation.

Many dress uniforms include a sword of some sorts at certain occations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dress_uniform
Personally, I like the idea of alliance/corp uniforms. I'd probably only wear it while being "on duty" and use normal clothing while just walking around and interacting with others.

I did specifically mention dress uniforms in regards to swords. They really do pull together the whole officer look. And besides, what better way to celebrate a victorious battle than with a full flair parade?
Speaking of officers, there should be some way have showing rank on alliance uniforms. Maybe we can have epaulettes? Stripes on the cuffs?

There are some books I have read where the captain of the ship wears a sword.... or cape(as in the book I am reading now) when they leave ship to walk around a space station.
This game is getting more like the scifi/space opera type books I love to read.

Now I'm wondering, how would logging off/logging in work? You warp out/warp in while in space, but in a station... do you just suddenly disappear (that would make man handling useless, they would disappear before your eyes... exploitz!) or do you just walk into "logoff rooms" where your character would stay until you log back in?

Actually, allowing bladed weapons while prohibiting energy-emitting or projectile weapons makes a lot of sense on a space station. Between hard vacuum outside and sensitive equipment inside, keeping the damage one person can inflict limited to the range of their arms is pretty sensible.
Also, swords have been ceremonial weapons for uniforms forever, even though nobody's used them in large-scale warfare for centuries.

in eve? for millenia
Even though Eve is set a bajillion years into the future, the power that cultures see in blades would last that long. That would have no actual use in any sort of combat this far into the future, but they would mean something to the culture that carried them. The Matar would see them as the tools of the first slave revolts. The Amarr would see them as holy weapons used to strike fear into the hearts of the unclean. The Gallenete would see them as weapons to protect the freedom of all. The Caldari would see them the most efficient way to kill rats since you waste no ISK by shooting anything XD

Centuries? Not quite that long. Cavalries as recent as WWI still wore and used swords.

I still say no self respecting pod pilot would wear more than a single symbol of their alliance, not a uniform. You are not a meer grunt in some army (even officer) but a pod pilot, the elite of the elite of the best with unimaginable buying power compared to regular folk.

Offcourse no poddie whould bow or sc*****for anyone,, but the admiration from the humble civilians (who whould not be able to NOT notice the uniform, and it's significance) whould be a natural ego-booster for any podpilot. Imho it whould be a natural thing for a poddie to strut around in a station in his uniform, flashing his medals and stuff (hmm,, idea anyone?? medals as an addon from corps,, visible on a uniform??).

Well how else do you want bystanders to be able to point at you and whisper "Oh, my! He's a pod pilot!"? I don't think that "I'm a pod pilot" t-shirts will really have the same effect. ----- I'll be in my pod |

Originally by: Deviana Sevidon 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.
And that¦s how you create AWESOME missions.... CCP WORK NOW!!

I believe that the Polish army also used horse cavalry in combat in 1939.
I don't know if any of them got close enough to the German Panzers to actually use swords, however.
