Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I dunno what you're talking about, but I a very distinct "Home," as I'm sure many do. I have a station that I work out of and store the bulk of my items in. It changes from time to time, depending on what I'm doing and who it fighting who, but there is always one station I live in and a whole bunch I visit. Wormhole pilots especially have their own homes and communities in the POS towers they construct and defend. If you don't do this, then that's just your play style and you obviously don't need you're own station in jove space.

Lore wise, this is the worst reason I've ever heard to open jove space. How would you feel if the worlds ape population suddenly wanted to make your neighborhood their home so that they could continue to fling poo at eachother in a more "civilized" environment? Because that's what you're asking the Jove to do.

Why are players crying out for jove space when it is clearly meant to be CCP testing grounds for new things?

Just to tell you, that's the Society of Conscious Thought, NOT the Jovians. Their ships are completely different and they're not the same thing in any way- you'd do well to not mix them up.

I,d much rather see Captains quarter in our own ships before going to Jove space (unless they're all dead and that new player Stargate is going there. Though I doubt it lol.

Customisation of Ship Captains Quarter could be somthing in which micro-transactions could come into play, Display corpses of said enemy (or somebody that you just trolled real good)
You could also have a place in which you display other things that you like: starships model, clothes, a desk with a computer to access email and all.

I think the player-walking stations was not the greatess expansions we had. They are good ideas in there but rebalancing ships is a better priority.

I hope that with those 10 expansions a year policy, we'll be able to get little things here and there about that. It would be good to eventually meet avatar of another player just to be able to troll them for their poor clothing choices (because everyone in Eve trolled someone at some point and we need more opportunities to do so)

See all those fancy tattoos and monocles toons wear? That is fluff. What player housing does it allow you a place to keep player fluff. What more, people are willing to spend RL money for more player fluff. So no, MMO housing is never a failure, and if it is it's because it was poorly implemented.

Played the Wildstar Beta and the housing system they have going is pretty awesome. But if CCP tried to mimic it I'd start a petition asking that everyone involved be forced to shave their head and record a choke-sobby runny mascara pixely apology video before they were allowed to return to work.

Regular MMO's housing is a nice feature that can be done well. Eve has no place for it. It'd be like putting fabulous hair ribbons on a Somali pirate.

Feel free to photoshop that, anyone who cares enough to put the effort in.

Confirming housing was pretty decently done in AC (sheesh I miss that game but too late to go back). It covered the basics at each of the "ownership" levels pretty well and tied into the fealty system for ownership "taxes".

But this won't work in EVE. IF (and that's a huge, unlikely if) WiS became a reality then perhaps there might be a case to iterate on the CQ (this is, imo, CCP's starting idea for player housing) but until that becomes a reality there is simply no reason for this to be considered.
