Remember that thing talked about back early in 2015? Ghost fitting? It looked great, I've been looking forward to it for over a year now and the stickied thread in the upcoming features forum is pretty neglected by CCP DEVs

We would really like to have an update on what is happening with this. There are few things worse than having many players calling our for a long-overdue response and getting nothing but silence. We see each other calling out, we see the timestamps on how long we've gone unanswered. It doesn't look good, it doesn't feel good.

If it looks like it, smells like, tastes like it, it's probably the player-base being Oopsignored.Oops

Edit: Feel free to like this thread if this resonates with you.

You mean the Ghost fitting tool in the Upcoming Features forum? Not that there are many updates in this thread either, but it's your first destination to find any should they appear.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Oh I know where it is, I just can't start a topic in that forum so I'm starting a new one here hoping a dev might stumble upon it and perhaps make a response to at least one of the threads so we can get an update.

If it is as most of us are assuming, that devs keep getting assigned to the new content and it keeps getting neglected, they could at least just say that was happening and confirm it hasn't been mothballed for eternity like many other supposed upcoming features we've seen over the years.

Mr. Luzade means you should not start a new thread (here or in the linked forum part) but reply with your complain in the existing one started by the Dev's Blink

Doing so seems to do nothing, so I'm trying a new tact.

Read post 1 in said thread and you will understand where it is.
'Skunkworks' means 'In a Devs personal time and not an approved project'.
As in they did some investigation on their own and felt like they might be able to make some things potentially happen with the code base, but it needs approval and integration into the overall development plan.

Ship and Module balancing
After a review of the previous year in module and ship rebalancing and a snapshot of changes shortly coming with Scylla, the look goes into the future. The tactical destroyers for the Caldari “Jackdaw” and Gallente “Hecate” are scheduled for June and July. We also will see “Ghost fitting” that allows you to virtually test-equip your ship.

It sounds like a promise to me, delivered in a pretty official way.



or how about

Maybe you should also watch that video, especially for the 20 - 30 seconds here:

Take all the information into consideration, not just the bits that suit your own outrage.

Maybe I didn't watch the movie recently, I was just grabbing the text to insert here. At least I can take a moment to join a bunch of players in trying to get the devs attention for a response.

If we don't make noise, we'll keep on getting ignored until we get ignored on something big enough to merit a Burn Jita response, and I think the devs and players would just rather avoid going through another one of those.

Come on devs, let's talk. We'd really appreciate an update over in the features thread.

Just an update, we have a couple dev responses!! I know there are a few subscribed to this thread so I do apologize for the late announcement but https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=414413&p=12

Thanks to CCP karkur for getting back to us and letting us know the project isn't dead.

Don't let your "facts" get in the way of a good rant.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
