EVE General Discussion

How about V3-ing the EXTERIOR instead?

Having NPC-corp specific station skins would be a great way to make space a bit less boring.

agreed. given that there are only four hangars it shouldn't be a huge task to improve the textures.

What's this fog everyone talks about?

I am playing with everything at absolute max and there is no fog whatsoever...

huge +1

Please do it right the first time:

- add different hangars for different corporations, they change depending on the type of station/outpost. (give me back that spacey gallente hangar that looked like a city! I MISS IT!)
- change the exterior... all the stations look the same, make them dependant on corporation as well.
- make the hangars a bit more... social? Show other ships entering/leaving and staying in dock or something. Doesn't have to be a lot in case there's hundreds, of not thousands of players on the station.
- Come on, get CQ done. Make a public space that also has windows to look outside. Would be EPIC to see those ships and celestial stuff close together. :)
Also as OP says: link CQ and hangar together, you should be able to be in hangar view and see where your CQ is, visually.


This would be a very great improvement to EVE... it's not Flying in Space, but it would make EVE feel larger and more connected, for sure.


EDIT: something I just thought of as well:
- animation when docking! I remember with the Causality trailer, you could see the nighthawk/ferox moving into it's docking spot before it robbed all the crap

New hangars would be great.

Even better would be a total revamp if possible, something to make stations feel alive, like you've actually docked up inside a massive industrial space city. Maybe vehicles flying about like in amarr stations, adverts and buildings like in the old pleasure hubs, that kind of thing. New exteriors would be nice too. But now I'm just listing massive amounts of work.

I don't disagree with the point, it's just.... Your presentation was ******.

I whole heartedly agree with the OP and many of the posts in this thread.

We have been given many station exteriors, we should get a corresponding interior to match the size/shape and aesthetic of the stations exterior. If ships get custom corp variation paints with the new V3, why not apply those NPC paint jobs to stations as well according to the corporation. Wouldn't mind if they added new Faction Warfare stations and Pirate Station models.

Also one up to bringing back the good old pleasure hub station interior. Oh do I miss it from playing my first trial account on this game. Also adding and including the active ships types in a visual docking/undocking activity like they did for their videos of each hanger. It could also just include the NPC merchant trade ships and customs ships and more intra-station vehicles like little hover cars/shuttles would be welcomed. Anything to make stations more livelier and busy, includes some semi autonomous announcements in the background chatter of sounds in stations.

With the introduction of the basic WIS Captians Quarters, the balconies should be visible lining the edges of the station enviroment for multiple levels of immersion.

Also +1 bump for topic.

Shouldn't they V3 though outside of the stations before they do the insides?
I get blinded every time I undock from Amarr EFA because the V2 stations is too bright and shiny.


Anyway, I support the OP.

I think that even something as simple as little ships going back and forth from your active ship would be an improvement. I mean seriously how does all your cargo get in and out, along with the ships crew (they need some r&r after the s*** we put them through) and the station crew who do repairs.
Could really help make the place feel alive.

Also while we are talking about it (and to save me making a new topic) would like that slay game that is being used as a dust 514promotion on the playstation home, in my CQ, it can help waste some time when camped or waiting for people to get a move on.
