In Iceland, ToRfI fRaNz (or whatever his name was) gave a short presentation on CCP's progress with ambulation, and I think mentioned that they were thinking of things that people would be able to do while in stations.
What I propose is an idea for this, and it involves basically stealing a feature from Lord of the Rings Online wholesale. LOTRO allows player avatars to buy musical instruments and use number keys to play tunes and things. For most people, you can pump out a song about as intricate as you could using the Ocarina in TLOZ:OOT, but there are ways to upload song midis into it so you can get it to play pretty much any song automatically.
In LOTRO, you can use a 3rd part javascript program to turn a midi file into a .abc file, and then you put that in the My Games/LOTRO/music folder. In game, you whip out your guitar, clarinet, bagpipes, whatever, then you type "/music" and then "/play [song]". Then the game will start playing whatever you converted from a midi.
So if CCP is looking for something cool to put into ambulation, do this. LOTRO isn't the kind of game I like (and for the record, I uninstalled it before the trial was over) but when I heard about the music playing bit it was enough to get me to try it out. Think about how many people would be willing to give EVE a try if they were enticed by the promise of being able to play Hava Nagila on electric guitar or Scatman on a Sousaphone, IN EVE?

This...is a far better idea than I would have expected. You'd get a bit of a different demographic, and you'd get a lot of people doing odd things with it. I want to see this happen just for the people busking in Jita 4/4, and to see what griefers would do with it. The intersection of those two cases sounds fun as well.
Now, the real question is, who's in for making Guitar Hero a minigame? ------------------ Fix the forums! |

Don't take my rantings personally. I may just be arguing the topic... unless you're saying something stupid, and then I mean every word. |

No.
The eve elite do not bring their own instruments from their ships and play in public like a bunch of hippies.

I'm only going along with this if some kind of synchronized hip-thrusting can also be incorporated.

Those of us who are far happier NOT to be associated with the backstabbing, cynical and ruthless folks who generally consider themselves to be the EVE elite might do though.
Since I have an honours degree in Performing Arts, I feel obliged to give this my support Although for the record I still think ambulation should be about #200 on the list of things devs should spenmd their time fixing/implementing.

How many different games out there allow you to walk around? To dance, play music/instruments, make rude gestures at each other?
MOST
Let's not shoehorn Eve into that stupid niche. Ambulation has no place in Eve beyond just the basics (walking around). None of this poseball fixation, please!
Let's vote not to have secondlife/wow/SWG in Eve, TYVM.
