I to am interested to see ambulation. I see it as an evolutionary first step in continuous improvements in the game, retracters of the idea just want to pilot their ships in space and don't want to roleplay their characters. That's fine, but there is a large number of players that like the RPG portion of games, as mentioned earlier in this thread there are some players whom play the game to run Corps, not pilot their ships in any way (or at least with minimum flight times). This expansion will be a nice addition for them, and for any fan of RPG in general as it will add a whole new aspect to the game, with potential to add so much more depth to an already pretty complex game. If you want to simply fly your ships and mine, pirate, trade, or fight faction battles then do so. I haven't seen a single thread that has the people that choose to pay $15 a month to run a Corp and not do all those other things complain about the lag caused by people flying through the system they're attempting to work in. And as for the lag issue, I'd challenge anyone to find a MMO game that has 500 plus players on a single server engaging in a single battle without lag. I've heard others talking about 1000+ players in a single battle in Eve with minimum lag....1000 that's more players than many games have on a single server, so instead of complaining that you had lag when you were in a massive battle maybe you should thank CCP for allowing that many people to be in the same battle.
I know there is 1 tried and true way to keep the battle lag from affecting all but the slowest PC's....limit the number of players allowed to join any battle. CCP doesn't do that, they make every attempt to make the battles enjoyable for as many as they can.
And before I get the "you're just a carebear sucking up to CCP" I'm not, I have played numerous MMO's for well over a decade and thus far Eve is by far the biggest I've ever played, and the lowest lag for the most players. Technology is only as good as those that implement it, and CCP seems to be doing a decent job of implementation.
