Please take any repeated ideas as support for those I am just repeating.
Please keep it hi-tech. Those withering screens on dust make me cringe as it looks like someone installed a "bologram" to save some money. Seriously, low res shaky screen, its like comparing the prequel ship displays in Star Wars to the originals such as xwing or tie fighter targeting. Keep the stuff crisp and clean.
Keep it cramped. Yes I am a god among mortals, but I don't need a veranda that is the size of a space ship. Space is a premium. The hanger should be massive because well, if you have massive ships you need the space to dock it. But when it comes to the quarters, or even small shops, please don't do insanely vaulted ceilings and the like. Keep that for communal areas such as maybe a perceived "public growing space" hydroponics area used also as a park, but hallways and such should be more Battlestar Galactica influence, or a star destroyer etc. And no I am NOT asking for farming haha, just that in space, it would be a good utilization of space to co-purpose open expansive areas, if your going to make it big, give it multiple functions other then giant wasteful grandstanding.
Selective feeds on the monitors, maybe a 320p on the tv displays, or whatever they would equate to for a smooth virtual viewing experience. (Yes some of us watched all the tv shows in GTA IV.. those Bush/Master Chief shows were hilarious)
Not all stations should be dark and forbidding in the corners etc. I can see malfunctioning equipment and degraded infrastructure near the mortals, but make the "dark and foreboding" locations in stations something that take a minute or so to get too. Please don't let us dock, hit the elevator button to cesspool of station and walk 10' to a dealer. I would rather traverse a portion of the station, hope a few elevators down, etc, then go for a walk. If your going to make it something of an activity, don't make it instant. Time invested in this manner is no different than time slugging away at NPCs for missions. It isn't gratifying to have instant reward when your enjoying the shady aspects of eve. Taking time to get to the "bowels" of a station should be used as a means to emphasis the disparity between the mortals and capsuleers. If we are supposed to be so exalted above the mortals and our captains quarters/capsule chambers to be so secure, they shouldn't be directly opposite access to a hive of scum and villainy.
If an idea is logically sound, then be constructive about it. -áIf an idea is illogically sound, burn it down. -áRational thought and utility is everything... Oh and fire. |
