IDEA FOR THE DOOR

What is the best thing that Developers can put behind that door, since in the future there will be allot of players in the station and some areas should keep private? An Elevator... ( it fix everything lol, and it will make easier to add new contents later...)

+1 This.

I don't have to see ship tags or pilots on this view, but a screen showing me all the ships outside would help the immersion factor. Hell, make it a real window?

I'd get a kick seeing the ships outside fight too. Maybe add a kitchen and bathroom to the suite? I'd like to be able to make snacks while watching folks parked outside.

'Muzzled' isn't the same as 'shut down'. ...or did they get shut down?

During the CSM there was discussion about how to get new players in touch with Newbie friendly corps like Eve Uni and the like. Deciding who is newbie friendly is a question for greater minds than mine but why not have their ads displayed on one of the screens of the CQ.

I like the idea for making the screens customizable with market data, PI notifications, Killboards, and the like.

Why not have it so you can display your kill mails on a screen? Instead of "copy", log on to killboard, and "submit" just to get the low down on how a fight went. Just right click in the character sheet to get "display on screen".

PS sorry if someone has already had this idea.

how about it doesn't take 10 years for it to load and people might bother to use it when you allow them to go through that red door

Not sure if any of these have been requested already or not, but here goes.

1. Ability to invite other player(s) to your quarters.

2. Ability to animate/interact with players in the multiplayer enviroment, be it quarters or stations. (Animated Hugs, kisses, etc)

3. Sprint key for walking faster or running.

4. More female hairstyles, and clothes that don't look "1940 German" please.

5. More interaction with furniture, such as chairs, beds, etc. Also changing sit poses and such.

6. Ability to finally drink Quafe with animations and sounds.

7. Some form of integrated video for tv screens, like youtube or quicktime or something.

8. Chat bubbles inside stations rather than channels/windows.


Usage:
Dress in nice clothes.
Invite a friend over and give them a hug.
Offer friend a Quafe.
Sit down on the sofa together and watch TV, or just chat and hang out.

Now wouldn't that be lovely! :)

Isn't that the idea? If the Don hugged and kissed you, you knew you were a goner.

The problem i see with CQ is, that they dont give players any reason to use them. The CQ is just a new way to get access to existing tools like the corporation/market window which you can access a lot faster by using the Neocom.

To make ppl use the CQ it needs things you can only do via the CQ. I dont see much chance that CCP will be able to implement features to get ppl use the CQ for gathering intel on PVP related stuff, because alliances and corps already have tools to get their fleets organized.


But perhaps if you add some new PVE content , the screens in the CQ could be used to display those. Like small events like a fleet of NPC Rats spawns in a system. The only way for pilots to get aware of this is by watching the screens in CQ which display it. Like a intergalactic News Channel. Or Special new Agents announce new kind of missions via this News channel which is displayed on the screen in CQ and could be accepted by every pilot reagardelss of standings. Pilots could click those announcements and get more information like reward /objective / enemy strength and the system they need to travel and accept this mission.

I dont know about the new Bounty System that will be introduced with retribution, but perhaps the screens could as well notify about Pilots with bountys that have been seen in your constellation and give you information about the system where they have been seen.

Well i know that this post includes ideas for new content but i dont see any chance for CQ to get used with only the existing content. Sticking with existing content, the CQ will make things more shiny, but less efficient. So ppl will take a look at it for a few minutes and stick with their old way of doing things, because its much easier and faster to click on symbols in the neocom than to walk around in CQ and click on screens, holograms, mirrors etc.


P.S: my english is not the best :D


EDIT:

The Screens could as well stream DUST 514 Battles. EVE Players can select Battles , watch them and place bets on them. If the Battle doesnt go your way, just undock , execute an orbital strike and make the battle go your way xD

1)Well Rested Bonuses - some sort of bonus gained for taking time out in your quarters or a station. It could improve agility or damage or whatever. You spend 15 minutes "resting", then you get a 2 hour bonus.

2)In game bars where you have a chance to "attract" special agents to give you missions that are epic or evocative.

3) Gambling/Mini Games - who didn't like Pazaak in Knights of the Old Republic? Make your own game for this unvierse.

4) In game jails/penal colony... because let's face it. Gankers might take having a bounty a little more seriously if they were sent to prison for 1 hour after they got caught.

LOL@U

Which idea FORCES you to be in avatar mode. Furthermore, you are aware that this is a discussion about captains quarters and stations, where you will be walking around someday as your avatar? These are just ways to encourage players to use this area, and I think that "Rest Bonuses" make sense.

Soooo... you'd like only ideas that don't encourage the use of captains quarters or walk in stations? Why are you in this thread?

Replace walking in stations with walking in ship and i will care. otherwise i have no want or need for wis.

i put this as a topic earlier but applys to this, i want to have a games room somewhere where i can play poker or mini games for isk with other guests within station,

Thanks for starting the thread Arcathra this is the sort of small enhancements to the CQ we want to be making whilst prototyping and maintaining the technology.

We're actively taking ideas from this and other threads into our backlog.

Just to answer a couple of points:

• Team Avatar doesn't exist anymore. As per the thread linked earlier our prototype has been shelved for the time being. Please read both my post and the one from CCP Unifex for the full picture on what's happening with WIS development at the moment. The team members are off working on a whole bunch of stuff from the launcher, through to new game features.
• WoD is definitely still in development and development is split off from EVE so that they can concentrate on their game and making it awesome.

I just wish the captains quarters would allow us to be able to walk around in the space stations. That's all I've ever wanted since it was released. Please don't listen to all those complainers on these forums that feel this should be a space only game. I see These same players on message boards and they seem to have this attitude that they own the game and we should all play it the way they do (Space Only) they are elitist snobs that complain about everything in patches and updates and everything else for that matter without any clue how a MMORPG like this is made and how much hard work is put into it. This is a sandbox and sandbox games are all about doing anything you want. THE CQ is a great feature IMO, I pray that you continue to work on it and expand on it. It really has brought a lot of new players to this game. Including myself. I love this game.

Thanks for reading.

wow it's like every new post rip open your buttewounds.

Walking in Stations \ Incarna has been considered by a large number of players as a great idea that was poorly implimented. I am absolutely one of those people. Now, here are the problems I remember hearing about in regards to Incarna:

1. Too many people caused graphics cards to scream in pain.

2. No real purpose to Incarna yet aside from walking around.

Talking with Seleene in one of the other CSM related channels here, basically he mentioned that it seems that CCP is has pretty much stopped work on this completely, and doesn't know (or perhaps can't do) what it should do. The last thing regarding Incarna seemed to me that there was still a very small group of developers working on this product, so I am curious.

My Questions:

a.) Is there any developer groups working on Walking In Stations?

b.) There have been several good ideas for content, a lot of which are takes off of similar features in other game (in other words, mentioning that you working on "something like that" would not violate any NDA because other games already do stuff like that), so I am curious not only what you'd like to see, but if you have some realistic goals to release maybe small features?

c.) Part of me thinks that the majority of CCP devs skilled in Avatar related features have been used to release Dust 514. Now that Dust 514 has been released, when do you expect that some of those developers will be transferred back to working on Incarna goals?

d.) I think it is likely that you discussed reducing the high-quality avatar models so that more can fit in a particular space, what other options have been discussed and kept or discounted for making avatar play more viable.

e.) In regard to Incarna Content, no doubt there has been some discussion on this.. but I'd like to know how those ended and what seems to be the way forward, at least for the time being?

Thanks again for your time.

Walk in stations could be where Dust and EVE players can meet, however in my opinion it is a different game on its own because the audience is probably different from the shooter and the capsuleer. If you took WoD and use it for cities on planets as well as inside stations it could be great. But just a simple walk in station to me it doesn't add much value. It would have to have some serious political impact generating a lot of drama. Think about drugs and goods supply to cities, local markets, slavery, kind of running SimCity... but with more control and more variables and the ability to vote for empire representatives. Like the idea?

Well, there is one hope.


In the DUST 514 open beta trailer, you see a pod pilot standing like a boss surrounded by about 10 mercs on the station.


Question:

Eve stepping away from trailers that use "all in game footage"?

-OR-

A teaser for future content like a place like the DUST 514 warbarge where avatars will be in one place?

The concept of WiS is amazing, but is a huge undertaking. Having a virtual environment for each station that could support any visitors to that station walking around and interacting would be a massive server load. I think of a trade hub like Jita 4-4, that has been known to have over 2000 players at a single station. that would be a huge environment, very crowded, and a huge server load. Even if the resources were available to pull it off currently. But by starting out with small limited interactions, as I have suggested, those who crave such interaction can do it, and the mechanics, and code needed for it can be tested, and slowly expanded to include larger area's with support for more characters. After a few years we may actually have full station environments, but we need to start small. the Captains quarters was a great start, but please do not stop there.

I can't belief people are still buttehurt.

Well, this could be a great idea.

WiS haters won't have WiS in their FiS. And after all, DUST514 was developed to cover the different player base...

How about the game to cover the another, very different auditory: people that don't want neighter an online FPS, or PvP games. But wants to be in the EVE's universe. Take me for example: i like the universe. but stopped playing. I have some dreams and fantasies with EVE universe and ships, but i don't want to play, because it's not interesting to me to shoot the same crosses and squares in the overview.

This will be an unique game - there is no such game for Sci-Fi theme. There is not much of them at all. Unlike this yet-another FPS...

Oh, but it's not an easy task to make something new - it's should be not just pew-pew, but not boring. Seems like impossible for CCP, and many other game companies...

WiS would be another element to a huge sandbox. Putting it in another client or platform would just not suit the criteria of the principle.

WiS should allow a capsuleer to get out of his pod and relax. It should allow for new and interesting gameplay, (that while being fun should not be mandatory or give direct benefits to FiS activities.)

It should not be 'Sims in space'. What it should be is a way for those of us who want to immerse ourselves in the deep and rich lore of the game to explore it further.
I want to see various types of social activities become available in WiS.
The three main things I want to see are:
Player owned casino's - there are various betting sites that are available like EOH, blink and EvE-bet, so give them the ability to purchase rights to own their own chain of in game casino's!

Black Markets - if it is illegal in an area of space, take it off the general market which can only be accessed through WiS. You have to go and see the fence in person.

And last, but by no means least...
Sports - particularly violent sports or even illegal blood sports. It's one thing to bet on the outcome of a few dust mercs taking part in a small scale fight. It's another to put your isk on a Gladiatorial battle.between capsuleers who have created specialised clones for the job. Especially if you can watch it live.
I also would love to see some sort of sport inspired by American Football, Jugger (google the film 'Blood of Heroes') and Rollerball.
Yes, it has nothing to do with FiS, but how cool would it be to be able to purchase clothing for your preferred team, then spot the star player out in a ship. Maybe you want his corpse for your ice box too...

Don't misunderstand me, if there ends up being some sort of emote/dance implant, then I want an implant that lets me smuggle a bomb in my clone so i can detonate it next to the bastards i see using them.

Best reason I can think of is "Who the hell would want to live in green goop, in semi-stasis, being fed mineral snot for the rest of their lives?"

What, no exotic dancers or homless? Not even a Janitor?
