Player Features and Ideas Discussion

i have a sujestion for visual enhancement;
All the captains quartes i feel are in the wrong place, i feel for example what i mean is in gallenta station if you spin your ship its in the centre of that ring but if your in captains quarters your ship is floating sort of randomly in space. I would also like to say i thought i hurd ccp say the ships would be above us not floating in circle on its own. actually i never liked that either i thought was wierd that my ship would float and spin on its own. What would be cool is if it was on a docking bay tethered and you could walk right up to your ship on a bridge, watch ammo load inside talk to scotty and tell him hes much faster then he used to be and tip him ;)

One fun bug that I noticed recently. Is that when you double click on the stairs leading to the couch in the Caldari quarters, the avatar walks in funny zig zag circles.

I WANT TO LAY DOWN ON MY SOFA !!!!! an my bed

Many good ideas here.

Short term:

First thing I want to see is the ability to invite other players to my quarters. Can be a limited number, but even STO got that right and there you invite them to your whole slightly customizable ship with several decks...

I don't want to be our capsuleers to be super-soldiers, too. You spend most of your time in a pod, dammit. Leave it to the Dusties or let us have what one suggested - an exploration clone/separate bodyguard character if it ever gets that far.

Hm... As for new features... A voice mail message from captains quarters that would add the toon's face on the screen.
Ideally with some lip-synching and - for the vain - voice changing filter.
Of course, should I catch the other party IN his quarters at the same time, it should be a direct exchange, no recording.

Long term:
Customizable CQs
All promised over the years at various FFs & in demos
A lot more.

I think that DX11 will be savior for WiS.
DX11 have so much more optimizations in it and it will make WiS engine viable for use.
Ok, minimal specs machines for EVE will go up (now its 8 years old machine) but i don't see why 100% support for more then 4 years old machines... EVE could get DX11 in a year, year and a half and that would mean that you will need hardware from like 2008/9th for EVE.

Add a doorknob.

Some mentioned it before: The current CQs are like hotel rooms. Give the option to buy a more permanent room with customisation options purchasable. I think this is a good idea.

Also, more item interaction. I have an ash tray in my quarters. I'd like to use the thing. And a the bed. It's nice being able to sit on the couch and watch the screens, would like to be able to do more.

Instead of firing 20% should the CQ have been removed. One cleans up after one makes a mess. Seeing how you are keeping it do I suggest that you do not try to make it pretty, but treat it as a momentum to a big mistake made by you, CCP. I am not asking you to put a board into the CQ with all the names of CCP employees who have lost their job, but also do not just brush over it like it meant nothing. Perhaps a sign on which one can read CEO Hilmar's devblog regarding finding the right path. There is a suggestion for you.

The station where you spend your time should get dirty / messy over time with quafe bottles and pizza boxes :-). And your bigscreen or something gets broken - and then you'd have to fire a janitor to fix it.

Also: Exotic dancers.

Here are some ideas I've seen that I think would be freaking awesome:

-Customizing Your CQ: By The Entire WiS Community
-Everyone that likes WiS would like to personalize the CQ's a bit more, a good start would probably be a basic "change racial scheme", then maybe later on a "Certification / Corp Medal / FW Rank Display Case", customizable displays ( Main Screen: market tickers, sov changes, custom pictures or videos [ Corp Screen: role / title display, corp balance, corp events, new member notification [ Planet Screen: harvester cycle times, inactive colonies, how full is customs office) lighting settings for CQ, and maybe instead of a balcony, just maybe we could actually get a Pod Initialization Room?


-Meeting Your Agent Post 214: By Bellasarius Baxter
-From what I can gather, you get an option on your CQ Exit door to visit your agent in person and meet with them. Your conversation (in dynamic choice style, like Mass Effect) would then depend on what mission you get.
-Completely optional for those that think WiS is the spawn of Satan, which it is clearly not.
-Immersion Baby YEA!

-Corp or Alliance Intel Log Post 12: By Fidelium Mortis
-"Almost like the broadcasts in fleet, it would display a time stamp with an enemy sighted message, displays the number of jumps, and includes an option for text (including fleet adverts) to be entered by the pilot reporting the intel. Players could click on the screen and set destination." Fidelium Mortis
-Available on Corp Screen, Main Screen, or just overall new feature (neocom window)?
-Or push the idea further to when anything happens in your corp / alliance: spotting an enemy, someone gets blown up in corp / alliance, POS gets shot at or shoots at something, POS needs refueling, corp or alliance fleet adverts.

And one idea of mine

-Walking in Complexes Post 3185: By boeboe joe
-Can merge into FiS well because after you complete the spaceship part, you can either dock or fly off, or have some missions where you have to dock first?
-Have capsuleer appropriate tasks such as find the illegal stuff, assassinate important dude ( let me stress that I do not think Capsuleer: Deathmatch should be the direction of this ), or sabotage corporate mainframes.
-Maybe optional; related to time bonus for missions.
-Death penalty is like when you eject from your ship and get podded, meaning your ship is vulnerable while you are warping back to the site.

I love the art team btw, they've been working hard and the beauty of EVE displays their pursuit of perfection!
