Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Honestly I wish WiS would go away and never come back. It's just too graphics intensive and I can only imagine how much worse it would be with dozens of people running around. I worry that after investing months of time and money in this game I may someday be forced out of it because I am unwilling to go out and buy a new computer just to keep up with new eye candy.

EVE is forever, too bad it's support for one's hardware might not be.

Could we get a use from the captains quartes to get some sense of scale with the ships -> Like in-station flying :-). What i mean is, if we can get into our pods (or some-other-transport) to get a really close look to our ship. So close that we can see inside from our ships windows.

ok so all the crap as ideas you have are for F2P?

srsly?

geeze, if EVE goes f2p then we're all done for.


So no. All f2p ideas are bad.

What is good, is improving performance for non-Nvidia using subscribers, expanded CQ's for aurum, perhaps a wall display cabinet for medal sand other awards. Improvements to our screens as have been mentioned before.

Why brainstorm more when CCP has already done it. Simply bring some of those shelved ideas back.

Personally I like to see myself on the bridge from the camera drone 1:08, to have an awesome sense of perspective. Option to zoom in or out from myself to the ship.

Once on the bridge, you should be able to see the other player's ships:

Perhaps stick the betting game on 0:25 in the actual quarters so we have soemthing more to do while we slouch on the sofa. Or a similar game in which we cab bet mith our isk?

A fan made a video of his view for a friendlier CQ. I think you should take some of his observations into consideration.


Something to add:
What if, we can walk to a central promenade with a big window overlooking all the ship's traffic coming in and out of the station. We could click at any ship to check it's status, pilot info, corp info, and visits for the past month, or year.

Art & Visuals

A simple idea is to have a station window where the player can look outside the station into space. To preserve gameplay styles, players will only see the nebula, star, planet, and/or moon (i.e. can't see if someone's camping the undock).

Sometimes when I rarely go into CQ, I feel dreadfully enclosed and a window to look out through will make CQ feel more open. Perhaps an additional feature could be shutters/blinds to close the window for those that don't want to look through it.

I'd like to hear any thoughts that may be out there and I apologize in advance if this idea has been suggested earlier.

Re-use Alliance Tournament Animations as CQ Content for Player Education

Throughout the Alliance Tournament, basic game mechanics have been explained with animated pictograms. These did a fantastic job of demistifying things like optimal ranges and falloff, electronic warfare, orbiting and so on.

Further to discussions that took place in the New Player roundtable at Fanfest, these animations would be perfect for use on the Captain's Quarters screen as a library resource for players.

With the addition of relevant audio explanations you kill two birds with one stone - you greatly enhance the New Player Experience and simultaneously give Captains Quarters some unique content.

Personally, I'd like to hear some character being added to the audio accompanying the animations. Why go with the anodyne Aura voice when you could have a officious Caldari bombardier explaining missile mechanics or an unhinged Minmatar autocannon specialist explaining the benefits (and dangers) of close-range combat. There's a lot of opportunity to weave a bit of colour into the experience to flesh out the universe for rookies.

Lots of good ideas here.

I like the one with the exotic dancers.

You could pay them some isk for a lapdance, kinda like in Mass Effect

Corporation Room!!!!! if you are at your HQ and dock, you should be able to see the other members in a corp room, and maybe have some gestures, do trades, etc.. some corp logos hanging in the wall, mayeb medalls, or screens of memorable operations, a to do list, calendar, etc.. etc... =D yeas pleasE?

Be kinda fun to be able *actually* wander around your station hanger looking at the stacks of ammo, bins of mins, and whut not. Functionality wise, maybe let you pick and choose your ammo and ship mods from WiS, and actually see those stacks of mission-specific, otherwise worthless copies of livestock, like the 340 militants i have, or whatsherface from that mission where you're trying to save the research ship and its fancy Event Horizon-esque warp drive. Just a thought.

I like to WiS but dont get me wrong here iam not agains WiS but it have zero content about eve online yah your avatar perhaps but thats all. Its not even eve online its like star trek online. I think the need to becarfull what the gone do about that. The best way for now is to close WiS. And wait some 5 years from now on. But wait...
First let the FiS keep there Patching new ships and that kind of stuff now the bad idea but it helps to close those FiS trolls here in the forum behind there backs making progress on the WiS project. And release it just like anything els keep it quit keep it low close all those threat about WiS eve need to become more if not people will stop because more games are focus more on 2 side of the game ground controll air controll and land controlling we have just 1 controll space nothing more. We need some extra bonus content just to increase more people but you get more money for it. Yah you will lose 20k people perhaps but 40k people will start playing or try to play perhaps more we will never know. You guys know that its all about money not eve. If ccp keeps this like it is now the game will stay in this slow grow face or perhaps stable and droping players at the end. Its a gamble ccp you focus on the ols school people or you go with the flow or you stay behind and people still complaining how complex eve is and the boring post here and there.... Its up to you guys its a danger patch ps dont wait to long or you mis your change to become the best of the best game... just saying
