This. Actually, in the video, you can see heavy armor maintenance bots fixing up the frig, with the engineering crew directing it. This would make for some great station scenery. Also, you could use this to show off the graphics of EVE.

Actually, I think its a automated production line than an actual dock. But yeah, same idea.

HELL YES (to new station interiors)

They all just look dead at the moment.

They need to be dynamic, with ships moving around inside, docking - umbilical thinges attaching , little guys coming out and doing welding (cleaning the windscreen).

In other words instead of empty dead areas, movement filled live stuff - plus it should scale with the population in the station ? both Dusties and Pod pilots.

Jita hive of activity, lots of freight containers being moved around, constant traffic. Hub of activity etc

Low sec empty station the occasional ship docking / undocking.

Plus pirate faction interior different - maybe nasty even.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Indeed. Unfortunatly, these are not coming in Retribution, this is a shot that was composited and not representative of any new ingame hangar development.

Would you like new hangars btw?



I want what I saw in the video. I want to see how huge my ship is. I want station environments with life. I what **** flying all over the place and signs and little people on the platform - all of that.

Three words: Deph of field. Blink

But a real hangar view would be nice... while we are at it, why not give ships with a maintenance bay an "internal" view too? Just dreaming here... Big smile

Yes. Bring back the 3-4 hangar designs we had per race prior to Trinity. I still miss the Quafe girl and pleasure hub ad.

To anwser more directly: Yes!

Current hangars, aside from beeing rather limited in variety, are very static and sterile... the active ship, hanging suspended in space... boring.

I always thought it would be better to have a real "dry dock", with repair drones buzzing about, crew running around and cargo beeing loaded/unloaded.

This,

And also to see some mechanism of where your pod enters your ship, Maybe some sort of animation to go with it.

I want the guy with the Jetpack while I'm in space!

but hangars vs. station walking/interacting? tough one

yes please?

Careful with the individual pirate faction station designs though, players may end up docked eternally watching the melting wall.

Why "vs"? It all should be geared towards a complete picture, in my opinion... why not start with new hangars?

However being able to see others while docked would be amazing.

Just look into the Amarr station interior, there is this long hallway with other landing pads, but none of them are used :(.

Imagine you're preparing to undock your fleet and in the hangar you see all your friends in the same ship you fly and you all hover to the undock point.

Oh, and while we're at it, a "cutscene" kind of vision when entering the station (instead of the current loading bar) would also be cool. Just like the docking videos CCP released a while ago. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlFOhXlnJZg)

I would actually use the captains quarters if this was part of it. A seat overlooking this would be awesome too.

In hindsight my post should have had more psssshhhh

I would like hangars that would look fitting to the exterior design of the station you're docked at. Just because you are docked in an Amarr station, doesn't mean the look of the hangar match the design of the station... Like the stations built on the base of a large asteroid.

Oh and... the Gallente pleasure hub interior... I want it back Big smile

How about a cargo bay floor you see from your balcony that has crates and models of your equipment laying about? Just how big are those turrets when you unbox them?
