EVE General Discussion

IIRC CCP has already admitted that demo was mostly witchcraft and not really usable.

I also love the idea of the FC command centre thing.

While CCP has expressed interest before, I doubt they're in much of a rush since there are several player-run gaming establishments with different types of games offered. For hold'em, EOH is the only major service, and we've been doing this for over four years. It's not integrated into CQ, but it does let people mix their spaceships and spacebux with their poker.

what I would like to see in CQ is a button that when pushed will launch the CQ and NEX store into the local sun,never to be seen again

As much as I would like to see an engaging and purposeful avatar-based side to EVE, I'm going to vote heavily against your idea until the various Dev's responsible have demonstrated the above mentioned talent - in a lead-lined basement...

I think you might break the very Internet, and possibly most of the western world, if Team Awesome were allowed to strut their leather-thonged stuff in public, for the mo-cap dances required...

Nothing to see here... Everything in this thread, including the gross assumptions, has already been seen in one of the many WiS threadnoughts.

Also, I would definitely support more command and control tools. I doubt, however, that they'd get much use at the operational level, as that type of control would only be very useful during long campaigns spanning many hours at minimum, and that sort of engagement would likely involve many hundreds of pilots. Battles like this are few and far between, and in the end, you'd still need an FC on the line actually commanding the fleet.

That said, it would be cool to have some sort of persistent strategic planning tool which military directorates could use to visualize the battlespace and plan deployments.
