I stood here thinking that this time next year alot of us reading this right now will be seeing ambulation as a speperate part of Eve, an optional service or choice for a matter and the sort.
Then it stuck me, what about for those players who join after its introduced? How would they view it? Would they see ambulation on a level to the point that they arent going to call it ambulation instead just another part of eve?
Just some interesting ponderings thats all, discuss.

tbh, I predict a lot of smacktards. I foresee a lot of noobs (and for that matter, a lot of existing players in-game already) getting camped into stations and talking all manner of smack on local (just like we have now), and on top of that we'll also have those people talking all manner of smack in-station and then refusing to undock.
After all, it's been stated in no uncertain terms that there will be no combat in ambulation, at least in the beginning, and that it isn't expected to be added any time in the near/foreseeable future. While this sort of sucks, I DO fully understand the reasons and it would probably be worse off if it were included. Imagine how much easier it would be to suicide gank a humanoid than an actual ship...
But, even with the drawbacks that I expect, I'll still mess with it for at least a few days. I wanna make everybody look at my ugly-ass avatar in-game just like here on the forum.

They'll just see it as another part of EVE as they would know nothing else.
It's like kids today look at me blankly when I describe a world before caller ID and answering your phone was an adventure everytime it rang. Could be that hot chick phoning for a booty call or it could be the guy you owe $100 to threatening to break your legs. You just never knew. Such a thing is almost incomprehensible to kids these days. Guess we should be at least thankful that in the digital age kids still know which way clockwise is.

No pod pilots shanking each other in station.

I would LOVE to see combat in station, or at least the possibility of stealing/saboutaging people you are at war with :) Would add such a good dimension to it all.
For now, im hoping i can sex people up. Always good for a giggle.

The whole idea of ambulation for a space-sim sucks, IMO. Leave it to SL or WOW or... whatever. Plenty of games out there where you can walk around, screw like bunnies, or beat each other up. CCP just wants to shoehorn themselves into another pointless mold.
The only thing Ambulation should feature is: Going into a station, look at all of the target's ships docked, select one, and kick them out of the station in it with a five minute lockout.

No it shouldn't be left out. It is the next step to planetary landings and perhaps mining, colonization, land warfare etc.
This is the first part of what I hope opens a whole new world of Eve.

Knives. Heavy, serrated knives. Think "Hurricane, sharpened."
Srsly tho, i'm glad to not have combat instation, especially not right away. (just had an image of the snowball launcher event occurring in-station  ). As long as we have appropriately insulting animations, that'll do. We're supposed to settle things in space.
Socially it'll be made or broken on how expressive our avatars can be, and how much we can personalize them; what sort of "rooms" will be available; and whether all the Sebiestor will be hanging out at the local Gallente-run Goth/Punk/Industrial clubs

For those wishing for combat in stations, remember:
Cloning only can occur if you die within your pod! The technology articles are quite clear that it requires a room full of specialized equipment. You can't pre-scan and dump to a clone because the active scanning cooks the brain while it happens. So there's a perfectly good reason for no combat in stations.
And a perfectly good reason why a pod pilot might NEVER walk in a station. I sure as hell wouldn't, just on that basis alone.

Ambulation isn't going to draw new players. If they wanted to walk around in a space type game with 2003 graphics they'd be playing SWG.
Personally I'll be shocked if ambulation ever makes it live. Kinda sucks as they've already spent so many hours on it and a lot of the playerbase is pretty excited by it.

Um, isnt Ambulation being worked on by the World of Darkness dev team and not the EvE dev team? If so, how are they wasting their time?

I foresee that new players will find a jewelled hairpin will cost about the same as your Arbalest Heavy Launcher while a set of red leather outfit will cost more than your faction fitted CNR.
Eve will no longer be about internet spaceships. It will be about piloting internet spaceships in sexy red leather outfits.
The procedure will no longer be about getting into an unimplanted jump clone and go shooting each other in the face. It will be about getting into a naked (or those cheap caldari uniforms) unimplanted jump clones before going out to shoot each other in the face.
PS: Yes, due to the quantity of Achuras around, I foresee new players will find a set of Caldari uniform the cheapest in the market.

This.
I have a tendency to wander around when I'm thinking/talking to people. Just randomly walk to different places without thinking about it.
I have also realized I do this in games. A lot. Like running around the Dant mining outpost on SWG for 20 minutes jabbering on vent to people...
Maybe the reason I get so frustrated with eve at times and I log off much more after I dock up is because I can't do my wandering around aimlessly looking at the exact same things subconciously?
Hmm. Atomos likes.

Oh come on, this is all wrong...(well caldari and gallente are right).
Amarr should have a SLAVE with a laser following them around.
Minmatar should have a really fast hovercar with spikes on it.

Lovely, just what I'm looking forward to...
SecondLife in space. Oh, joy.
*sigh* Eve will become Station Life.
I mean... come on, players building the stations 'junk' like taverns and botiques and then renting a slot and then building the 'goods' for those shops and then advertizing...
OMFG, isn't that just a cheap SecondLife clone?

is there a list of features <other than walking / games> that Ambulation will be providing us?
If it was just dressing up pretty and sitting around, There are many other games who do a very good job of that.

Or they just retconn it, I've never heard of a mmo anywhere that let lore get in the way of gameplay
