You log in, and it goes to a cutscene of your characters sneaking through dark corridors inside the station while fleeing from zombies and ninja bears with chainguns, which they narrowly escape by diving into a captain's quarters and firmly sealing the door behind them. They then hang around in the CQ checking their ammo and catching their breath waiting for you to choose which character you want to play.

Dodecahedron and constantly randomly rotating direction, so you have to be quick and press the side where the char you want to play is

They will appear in irregular polygons.

Considering the lack of connection stability many players experience lately (a/k/a "socket closed"), I think we already have "irregular" (square) polygons...

I am sure you are just misunderstood in your approach to the rendering of modern art and stifled by the repression of your bourgeois co-workers who seek to cage your creativity and chain your free spirit.

Break free of your chains!

Only then can you fly.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

I remember some dev saying a few months ago that there's something really REALLY difficult about switching character without logging off... like... getting into your car, driving it 30 miles then getting out expecting to ride your bike the same 30 miles without going back home first...
...
That's right... a car analogy

That's because crayons don't work on computer screens.

You've been sitting up at night reading your H.P. Lovecraft novels again haven't you? You know those give you bad dreams.

Just give us a 'Switch Character' option without having to log in again. The login screen is fine as it is, you spend maybe 5 seconds there...

Make a text-only char selection screen so it would load faster

Can you make it like a fighting game so when you load into the character select screen some super-hype music comes on and some excited, disembodied voice is like "CHOOSE YOUR CAPSULEER"? Yeah, do that.

Make the entire selection UI a self-intersecting manifold. And add strange gurgling sounds. That'll keep CCP Guard happy.
