EVE General Discussion

With the added possibilty that your spaceship was captured/destroyed whilst you were poking about - Now you're stuck in a hostile environment witho0ut so much as a pod to your name...

Actually, I can see several ways such a scenario could be dealt with, and be made awesome.

While I like puzzles, and that's a good example if it was a pure exploration game type. this is action adventure. If you ever played Bioshock 1 you would recall how much the hacking pipe puzzle game took you out of the pace of the game.
We are more likely to see randomized corridors and choosing between dealing with auto turrets or time locks that will trap us in hostile environments for X amount of time with hacking being a time - skills function.

I really want more WiS game play. I was kind of hoping for some kind of in-station sociable environment first, rather than the whole exploration thing. Would be nice to see the mini-games and gambling etc.

No, i'm not a carebear (most of the time). I do like blowing stuff up in my spaceship, but I would really like to see some station interiors. As for the exploration idea, I think it sounds fantastic and I cant wait to try it, but it would have been nice to see "Corporate Quarters" first.

Why are you surprised that the gameplay of "a bunch of dudes emoting each other in a room" is not priority.

Could be like the ruined station in The Reality Dysfunction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Reality_Dysfunction

.....Tranquillity was founded to study the Ruin Ring, the remains of some forty thousand alien habitats which apparently self-destructed two thousand years ago.

.....Calvert dreams of making a big find in the Ruin Ring to finance repairs. Much to his surprise, Calvert indeed strikes lucky, finding a virtually intact memory core with the first-ever images of the reason for the Laymil racial suicide.

He does most of it in his ship, and then goes EVA to do the difficult bits

could it be a Jovian Laystation ruin??

Incarna... the promise of Incarna and walking around in stations and having bars, shops, corporation meeting rooms was a dream that we were told would become a reality. But reality now is that it is only a dream again.

Will CCP ever make the EVE incarna expansion what it was originally supposed to be? or remain sidetracked on other dreams?

When they were talking about in station environments the suggestion was that there was going to be content other than just emoting. Gambling, mini-games, being able to run the place for public entry with entry fees and corporate tax on gambling wins. They already made mock-ups for the UI and the mini-game seems pretty much complete from all the screen shots and the game-play we've already seen.

I think you would get more emergent game-play from that than you would from solving a few puzzles and looking for a blueprint in some old ruins.



Augmented immortal capsuleer bar fights. That would be almost as awesome as Chuck Norris fighting another Chuck Norris.

I'll go on record as saying that I love the idea of wreck-diving 'in person', as it were. I hope that we see some of it after Retribution (Pretty please?!) when more resources become available.

(Gaaah! Please delete this! I bdouble-posted due to fumbly clicking!)

Would be a very interesting game mechanic.
A new way for recon/scout enemy, ship fits, assets, plans.
Also this would make a nice way to earn money from exploration and would certainly provoke conflicts :)
Im all for this, thumbs up from me!

I find myself asking why a pod pilot would leave the womb-like comfort and safety of the pod to go EVA when he could just send a drone which he can control remotely.
