I love the idea of walking in stations, and all the nagging from you that don't... think about it
I don't think you realize how much this can help the players, it all starts with beeing able to walk in stations, wohoo, big deal, but if they work some more with this it can be great. all memebers of a corp meet to plan a war, the next step of the corporation future. it's all about making eve's univers as real as possible.
if you were in space for real, would you plan you next step through a chat on the computerif you had a huge space station you could dock on. did't think so...
I'm only considering the possibilitys.
if someone already have said something about the same as this, i don't care... i did't not care to read every single post.
ohh, and for you that swear you never, never, ever was going around in a station. shut it, you know your going to any way.

This will be great for those time when you are waiting for the next op.
Gets rather boring sitting around the computer waiting for the POS timer and have nothing better to do.

well there is a problem about, first has ccp made a hype about ambulation, and then from one day to another no further word about it, so i would like to know what is now going on ? can it be that ambulation never will come because there is maybe the danger that ccp has a problem to run all activities in space and stations on one server ?
if yes then forget ambulation for now, maybe in a few years when servers have more power than today and affordable for ccp.
thats how i see it...

Indeed, CCP's silence on the issue is disconcerting. Many in the community who are interested in WiS believe that it's due in the next expansion. If they're wrong about that it'd be nice of CCP to correct them....

Why the hostility? I'm sure many players, myself included, are looking very much forward to this feature. What good is it to have all the riches in the world, if have no place to spend time with your friends? And what's with "Graphics Crap"? Don't you enjoy a good-looking spaceship? Or do you prefer the wireframe of Elite?
And good job squeezing in yet another comment about WoW - seems when all else fails, invoke the name of the devil. I'm glad you're not in charge of EVE game design...

if i was walking in the station would be a couple more years down the Line.. and game play and a stable game system would be on top of the list.
But this game is getting aimed at the kids not the mature gamers..

I, considering myself a mature gamer, and enjoying Eve to the bottom every time I play it, think of WiS as a nice add-on to the whole Eve-ecperience.
Eve becoming a kiddy game ? Don't think so. Learning curve is still steep, and New Eden is still a harsh environment.
Becaus CCP makes the game more interesting to new players doesn't make the game 'kiddy' IMHO.
And it has been told several times throughout this thread or and others, you dont *have* to walk in stations if you don't want to. But you can.

Whell... with drinking in stations comes getting drunk in stations... with getting drunk in stations comes jumping back into your pod before the buzz wears off and trying admirably to fly in a straight line, while failing miserably.
I sure hope we can fly while drunk. This may be a key feature of Ambulation that will get me hooked.
This mentality has always fascinated me. Even way back when in EQ 1 they had alcoholic drinks and intoxication of characters. I never really understood what the 'fun' was of being 'virtually' drunk. If you want to fly intoxicated drink a twelve-pack while playing the game. At least you get some personal benefit out of it.
But if you're going to have intoxication in the game we should have drugs, STDs, hangovers, vomiting, small pox, open heart surgery, dentistry, and other fun things to make the game 'realistic.'

Sounds like your speaking of yourself. CCP can't devote 100% of the devs on bugs. It would be like 6 bee hives working in one. It would be clustered, and more bugs would apear due to too many people giving their fixes and fights and stuff.
I like recieving new content while bugs are being fixed, no game is ever perfect. I always hear people like you whining about the bugs and down talking new content. New content is good for all games. Besides, this aint your game, its every subscribers game.

Meh. I've gotten used to my being just a "head in a jar" pic with no body. WiS would be fun for when you just log on to switch training or are waiting for your posse to get in location before an op.
It would be cool if you could use WiS at your POS, have some limited functionality there. A lot of pilot time can be spent at POS's and it would be a nice break to putter about the control tower for a bit.

is there really ambulation or are pod pilots so demanding of new software that the neo-com programmers have created a virtual reality software suite to allow podders doomed to life in the pod to believe they are walking around a space station as if they are actually there..i mean how would that be any less real from their point of view...i mean its not like they are video gamers sitting at pc's and pretending to be loight years away and doing all kinds of things that cant really be done all in the name of fun.....wait....uh

I feel that this particular addition would be highly effective for CCP. First of all, it provides players with an additional sense- a sense of who our characters are as people. The ability to walk around and see our characters do things, talk to people, even if its just walking around at first, would be a huge improvement.
I would love to see the interior of a Gallente station, watch my Amarrian character stalk around in a hood - or even lift it up, which is something he appears to never have accomplished in public for at least a year, if my profile picture is accurate.
An advanced feature, which would be nice for immersed players - would the ability to pick up some cheap quafe or get something to eat or drink. The fact is that all food would be pretty darn cheap (since capsuleers make more in a level 1 mission than most settlers make in many, many years), and it would be an opportunity to play with attractive graphics as well.
Besides, to be quite frank, from a purely business perspective, it is highly competive for CCP and the developers to add functionality to station interactions. As a potential competitor in the MMO market, Star Trek Online, seeks new and current market share through Beta testing and new features such as ambulation and fleet combat, it is wise of CCP to counter that action with adding ambulation to an already beautiful and player-formed world.
While certainly the target market for Cryptic Studies, i.e. CBS, is quite different than that of EVE Online, it makes logical sense for CCP to move towards ambulation and increased station interaction. CCP prides itself on allowing players to forge a kingdom or a place in an uncertain world, and I imagine that independent streak will continue in station interactions and increasing ambulation. I am sure that CCP will continue to ensure that it is the market leader in thoughtful, deadly, and entertaining pvp combat, and adding ambulation is a nice bit of "color" in an otherwise harsh and unyielding environment.
Besides, it gives station campers something to do besides stare at the market or read the web.

They are attempting to create a virtual world within a virtual world so that your avatar can have an avatar in order to interact with other avatars, who are not really there.
Makes sense to me.

I don't get why people are so pro or con to this concept. It is just a content addition. One that wouldn't affect the standard EVE game play. When the second wave of battle cruisers was released, I don't remember this much talk of it, but it did affect everyone and how they played. But this seems like it would be interesting, and if I had the ability to actually walk out of my drake to the manufacturing part of the facility to manage my s&i stuff, then that is nice compared to staring at a window. Again, this is just a nice little addition, and not such a big deal as everyone seems to make it out to be. Realistically, if it was released, or wasn't, I doubt it would really affect if any of you really continued to play EVE.

I am not sure about this bit (in that, I do not know which way it might go).. on the one hand if Star Trek has this feature and people like it then EVE will be in trouble.. on the other hand, adding a feature that a (not yet vetted) competitor has can really kill a package, esp if it is something that is also keeping the other company from releasing.
It also gets into 'playing to your strengths'. Does this play to EVE, or does it distract from it? Will this be a feature that integrates well and truly adds enough play to justify the cost or will it be a costly bit of code that people get bored of quickly, yet destabilizes the core game?
It is that last bit that concerns me. EVE's codebase seems rather brittle... merging it with something big introduces the possibility of serious in game issues, so ambulation could end up effecting other areas of the game adversly with no perceived benefit to some players.

I think this will be great, if it provides more interaction between players and more things to do within eve. I for one would like to see bounties collectable in this manner (on station). CCP really could open this up a lot more and give a lot more dynamic content to us then we are currently getting if they want too. Honestly, I doubt it, but one can never be too sure.
I want to know if we will be able to walk on our own station/labs ect.

I love the idea and what they have done so far, but I would honestly rather be able to walk around and explore my own ship before stations. However, I will take what I can get.

I like the idea, if you dont want to walk in stations, dont! i like eve the way it is aswell, but you all must know things must change to grow, i look forward to it, while im fitting ships or shopping the market for rigs, modules, ships, etc.... I can be looking at something different. So hats off, launch walking in stations |

the blog this topic is linked too doesn't contain a question asking you if you like ambulation or not and why,
the blog explains what features we can expect to be in ambulation
and its coming whether you like it or not.. eventually |

I think the idea has great potential and since i heard of it im ONLY going to play EvE as my new Favorite MMO. I think the devs in the future could take it further and you could go planet side ( but that would take a long time to do) GO EvE
Edit: when is the beta of this and will it be open, and since this is a new big thing for EvE will this be a free expansion or paid??? |

Well i believe that WiS is a needed start if someday we might walk in planets, i mean, once the WiS is rolled out, Walking in Planet wouln't be so hard, bcz a planet would be actually like a huge station... that' what logic tells me...

All EVE expansions have been free and I havenŠt heard that Ambulation will be any different. It is not coming out with the next expansion though.
