People are gonna hate me but, instanced station environments.
1000s of people can be in a station but a client will only load 50 to 100 avatars

priority for loading avatars would be:
corp
fleet
alliance
positive +100 standings
positive +50 standings
on watch list
+/-0 standings (neutral)
negative -50 standings
negative -100 standings
Blocked (never loads this avatar)

instances to create:

corp instance (office in station required for this instance)
alliance instance (alliance executor office required for this instance)
trade instance (instance promenade like instance for trade/relaxation)
personal (invite only) instance (used for missions and the like)
fleet instance (must be in a fleet)

+some points

1st crew is still screwed so they need to get atleast lore that would make it reasonable for them to hire on
2nd Incarna WIS was totally scrap because u only had the cq and that was all. WiS isnt the main topic of eve but a great extension so ccp should release it over time maybe one feature per expension and the rest is focused on spaceships.


Aren't crews already heavily integrated into the lore? Even capsuleers doing interviews of them?


yes they are but be reasonable would u hire on to a captain who doesnt mind that his ship gets blown up because he doesnt die but the crew especially on subcaps gets blown up with no chance of a 2nd life


Your captain is the among the richest people in all of New Eden. Plus with lifeboats, they're not guaranteed death. It would be cool to see an animation of lifeboats firing off the moment you reach hull HP.

I actually adore this idea!

I thinkall should be more progessive; first steps should be basics: even only the option for multiavatar CQ (limited numbers, 5-6) could be a good start. And I think the assets for this are already in the client, need only to be re-arranged and an UI.

Next step could be station lobbies and corporation rooms or such.

And after this more specialized module to rent (ISK sink) or WiS modules anchorable in a new POS system.

I dream of this happening, I hope CCP shows some initiative towards this in in the rubicon patches and the next expansion even if just a little.

edit: actually when I joined eve I thought they already had this (conversing with agents in station face to face etc.) which made me like it more. (space AND land (sort of) woah, awesome )

I always wondered about the items the advertising characters are wearing. Am hoping they come with the release of Rubicon.

We were recently chatting about something along these lines in the wormhole channel ig.

What about allowing the community to build/design content - like clothes, wearable items, etc - and then upload them to a CCP site for moderation/approval. Once approved - they're available for purchase and use ig with ISK (or AUR if you really must).

Moderation/approval is just to ensure that nothing offensive gets through - ccp/csm can outline some guidelines to guide players.

The whole customisation idea is great - but to be frank - that it's all in the hands of ccp is pretty grim.

This type of thing has been implemented in a few games - most notably the steam workshop

If i was to ever walk around a station. I would do it in my pod!

Really eve is *not* WiS and stuff to add to that is simply a different game all together, and quite frankly a waste of dev time.

If WiS or something similar became necessary I would desub that very day.


You go and desub then, you won't be missed, as for a dev waste of time I give you..... world of darkness...

You might like it when you have deployable structures and modular stations to walk around and interact in.

How about captains quarters in mobile deployable structures or ship maintenance arrays so we can change or refit ships and enter field offices and war rooms to oversee ops with the added plus of making you more vulnerable away from the ship and pod.

On this same idea: possibly board habitats?

I support the whole WiS ideas here.

It should be important for the whole Wis Experience to become a succes that you can not only do the same things as while ship spinning, but there should also unique things that can only be done while WiS.

Things that spring to mind are casinos, social interaction, pit fights, walkways, warrooms, corporation headquarters with stunning view of the spae/moon/ planet outside.

Introduce an smuggling economy that takes place inside shady areas of stations.

Outside stations, walking in ruined spaceships or stations searching for salvage could be a great replacement for the archeology minigame, which is now an exact copy of the hacking minigame but with different loot.

Work on it CCP! It has great potential!

With SOMER blink considered recently, casinos would have to be in-house (as in no third party support), I think. Thoughts on that?

Not sure if suggested before, but if we can add a robot servant like in our CQ, maybe make a market for robots player manufactured, just some customization maybe say a few jokes :p

Also I always imagined if they would implement card game would like this (pazaak from kotor 2 if anyone remembers this)
