I agree, but I have given up all hope of ever seeing good game-play out of it.

I'm still waiting for the announcement that only half of Rubicon was announced and there is actually more to this ****** little patch. No announcement, then no sub. I think I have had enough.

There would be no "next feature". Dust is avatar gameplay and look how wonderful that piece of crap is doing.

I just don't see how it's going to work. can you have 2000 avatars running about a station without problems?

i mean obviously if jita turned into babylon 5 that would be of interest but i'd much prefer they make the stuff CCP seagull was talking about on the rubicon livestream a priority.

forums.  serious business.

They should mint some special 25 cent pieces for the ten year anniversary and give them out as gifts to the players. They're coins that are meant to be distributed by the captain of the ship to the crew.
The Captain's Quarters...

I'll get my coat.

I do this for many reasons. I do it because I believe it is right. I do it because I will profit by it. These all consolidate into one reason: I do it because I can.

No need we just fweemed and podded you.

I like that this is a true statement in this game.
I want my forum bounty button already!

Also the door should open and reveal...

And nothing worth while was lost.


Except CARBON, and therefore every bit of content released in every expansion after it. V3, TiDi, all the new UI since Incarna. FW, the new Crimwatch system and bounties. Everything gone. Because you deleted "Incarna".

I think perhaps you meant "Captains Quarters".

People still load the station environment?


According to the CSM meeting minutes more than 25% of clients have it active. So, if the average player has two accounts (probably more than that) and they only need CQ active on one screen then technically more than 50% of players could have it active.


I would load the CQ if there was something behind the door... I suspect we'll see this only after WoD is launched, simply because a lot could be reused from it. Stations sre so huge that you could have a whole city into it... just speculating tho...

Every player should be gifted captain's quarters with his or her likeness imprinted upon them. We could trade them with our friends and sell on market.

EVE cannot claim its a hardcore pvp game when you are invulnerable in a 0.0 station. I'm a space barbie who wants to head shot and tea-bag corpses.

EVE is forever a game of internet spaceships. And thanks to CCP those spaceships have gotten better and better, balanced, fixed. Time-dilation has in many ways fixed server stability from when Incarna first came out.

They've done an amazing job catering to starships. Nine years playing and forever a PvPer, I can vouch.

But what they haven't catered very hugely to has been the lore.

Nine years and there's still a wall between the players and the massive (dark) world that is EVE Online's lore.

In fact, there's been a slow decline of the lore since Empyrean Age: Incarna took away a lot of individuality within character options and key racial features. Key characters within the lore have slowly been killed off without any notable replacements. (Caldari Prime was a great touch, but doesn't fill the void very well between events and didn't strongly impact the players within the lore.)

We were finally able to venture outside the capsule but still never allowed to show face as to who we are in the world.

Other parts of the stations would be nice.

More character customization would be nice.

Lore representation of your assets would be nice. (IE, customizing crew for a ship, which would tweak an implant's worth of passives in that ship, with time and enough veterancy maybe a little more.)

Ability to interact with NPCs would be nice. (Such interviewing assets of missions, such as the militants you just scooped.)

Hand in hand with the above recommendation, ability to interact with your agents face-to-face would be nice, especially if from a place of dominance and fear-inducing. In time with enough standing, you could modify this reception to something more friendly.

Ability to assign passengers to your captains quarters would also be nice. (They would come with assorted props and would change various places around the captain's quarters with each visit.) (This could open up sides to a mission you're not seeing, and hint to how your truly doing the dirty work of corporations.)

Ability to further customize planets you've set up base on, even having standings with that world. Some improvements suggested may empower the world more than actually help you out, overall improving standings with the planet and overall efficiency of the P.I. interactions.

There's plenty of other options suggested out there.

Bottom line: Part of what makes EVE Online so deep, powerful, and profoundly ambient is the lore. The lore is defined by the characters involved. We in many ways are the characters.

Who we are is shaped by features of Incarna, WIS, and that which isn't internet spaceships.

CCP has honored us by fixing and balancing one side of EVE now. Please help encourage them not to forget the other side.

After all, you want more people to kill, right?

Bang on. This is about the Thrill. I don't think some gamers get that. Pixels get boring, the mind needs stimulus. Story and Lore give that.

The choice to include Lore, storyline, and other embellishments does not exclude PVP, it enhances the excitement of it. This isn't a case of either/or this is a case of and/or. People into computers should get the difference.

To add to the lore, we could have someone go around and kill or kidnap all the mission agents. One by one, another mission agentgoes missing... could it be the same group that cloaked all the asteroids preventing miners from mining?

They could open the CQ door, but that would be a very bad idea as it is an airlock to space. WWWWHHHHOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHH! Vacuum.

Ha you cant stop me from mining, I use gravimetric eccm to see through your pathetic electromagnetic ruse.
Of course if you manage to come up with the negative mass necessary to counter that, we in the business would most intrigued and will contact you from Arkonis.

Realized this isn't the best topic/forum category to throw a list down. Decided instead to make a better topic in the Ideas section of the forums for this stuff and opened it up to the public.

I have a feeling this thread was made for another purpose. Sad

The topic can be found here.

If we really want to see expansion beyond that door or character customization in general, one will need to generate the buzz for it. Currently there's still a lot of fear of CCP migrating from internet spaceships and only Roleplayers tend to push for these topics and/or do not bump them.

If you think the threat of migrating is over and you honestly have (constructive) ideas of what to feature. I'd head over there and make your voice known.

Support!

I have been saying this since day 1 of Incarna. It is the future. Too bad the vocal minority managed to shut down the development and somehow tied WiS and CQ with the lulzy aurum store.

For the ones that have missed it, read this:

http://www.ninveah.com/2013/10/incanra-second-chance.html

I will quote one very important sentence: "moving Eve beyond "just spaceships" into actual Sci Fi simulator."

Please CCP, continue the development of WiS. Some of us, MOST OF US want it. Don;t let a bunch of "muuuh spacehips!!!" 'tards spoil the whole experience for the rest of us. EVE is a game about space, science fiction immersion, spaceships, avatars, player interaction, walking in stations, etc.

They should test out the functionailty in Jita. What better place to open some bars and gambling establishments? We could even have some small businesses open stores offering one of a kind contract deals. I'd totally open up shop in an isk doubling store, I just ask that I too can serve liquor for my guests.
