Player Features and Ideas Discussion

During the CSM there was discussion about how to get new players in touch with Newbie friendly corps like Eve Uni and the like. Deciding who is newbie friendly is a question for greater minds than mine but why not have their ads displayed on one of the screens of the CQ.

I like the idea for making the screens customizable with market data, PI notifications, Killboards, and the like.

Why not have it so you can display your kill mails on a screen? Instead of "copy", log on to killboard, and "submit" just to get the low down on how a fight went. Just right click in the character sheet to get "display on screen".

PS sorry if someone has already had this idea.

'Muzzled' isn't the same as 'shut down'. ...or did they get shut down?

we don,t know ,do we? bc ,we are left in the dark about this

first they were very vocal and the suddenly,pooofffff ,nothing.

Adjustable light levels?
Corp banner on the wall?
RGB sliders for ambient light levels and adjusting the colour scheme?
As per "jita-cam", a live feed of an external view would be great...
Interactive screens, I.e. have the browser appear on the monitor or as a popup.
Links to external content (would be great to sit on the sofa watching clear skies :) ),
Interactive market ticker (links to eve-central/eve-markets etc.) taking advantage of community content.
Surely as we can communicate across the entire universe, can we get market data from other regions displayed? It would be useful for industrialists to check prices across regios and would give them a reason to be in CQ (as a massive station surely would have better comms than a ship). Hell, even if we just have a top 10 of shifting market trends or the ability from the existing market data to plot the current graphs on a screen.
Market data showing current open buy and sell orders.
Contract overview screen.

Picking up on another idea in this thread, the next Update I'd love to see is a revamp of the hangar. Rather than just having the spin-able ship, add to this (with the option to turn it off of course for the die-hard FiS fans) a series of gantrys, animations and suchlike for loading and unloading cargo, fuel, weapons, fitting crews etc.

Yes it doesn't add gameplay but it does add immersion.
How about seeing other ships? Rather than having the massive empty hangar, why not also show off in the distance on the left and right the ship of the person preceding and following you alphabetically in the guests list? Or if you have corp mates docked, then their ships (in a limited way to save on CPU) are shown? (this could be used in CQ or hangar mode).

Interactive 3d map. Again, I'm sure I remember something from clear skies where the map is a holographic projection in the room.
The battle game and poker consoles seen in test/dev. Ok, so we can't currently sit around them as a group, but I'm more than happy to have a console to interact with other players remotely... Setup Local gambling on a station per station basis. Maybe all the high rollers will congregate in some backwater out of the way system or all end up at Jita.

Personal hangar. Where are my other ships? Where are they stored? I want to see my naglfar parked alongside my drake, vargur or probe :). Yes, it doesn't add gameplay but adds further immersion.

How about the item hangar? Why can't I go down there to gaze at the magnificence that is a massive pile of tritanium boxes? :).

The activities we do in cq will have to be broken down into social, economic and warfare and possibly some will blend together. The normal activities we all currently do in a station must be achievable through the current neocom interface and we should not have to use CQ to do them. The CQ content and interface must be supplemental to the neocom and key functionality must not be exclusively performed through it.

SM.

Add the some games to play with other people in stations. We don't need to walk around the station, just right click on a player and say "Play (game) with ___" including 1 on 1 games like;
Chess, (with awesome ship models, also some NeX options to buy different ship sets)
Pong, (Can't go without it)
Go Fish (also another NeX option, purchase different styles of decks)
Somnium (A really fun game, would be awesome to play it with my corp mates)

Along with some other games to play with 4 people, like;
Hearts
Spades
Settlers of Catan

right click and display on screen is a new one ,i think

But who knows maybe the screens gets some use when Dust is released.
Since whe can,t be in the same room with the dustmites ,the screen is the next best thing

First

I want a bigger CQ space the ability to lay down on the bed and then logout.

I dont wanna pay rent for my bigger CQ place.

I want to be able to rent a office place for my corp,

I want the abilty to have a shop where I can sell custom made clothing in stations.

I want to have the ability to buy npc that take care of my customers.

The price for this service shall not be this insane price tag that kills it for smaller 2-3 manna corps.

Or people that have started a corp just to be able to manufactoring clothes or want to offer spacetravlers a bar.

Those who owns stations and have alliance office may if they want to torture them self pay more.

WIS walk in stations brings in content for those of us that been playing from beta.
Who done the part of mining, pirating, discovering, 00 space ratting, mission and all the other current ingame stuff.

We that love eve and have been supporting from start ccp ideas of EVE Online we want WiS!






*I dont need more ISK sinks* I need more isk income*

Here is a thing

The ability to walk into my hangars and walk true my stuff I been collecting from 2003.

Small note to address a few things people have been saying about the logistics of quarters customisation. Sorry if this has already been mentioned, it's a very long thread, don't have time to read everything.

Customisation of quarters

An issue raised with this is that you'd only be able to have one quarters in a particular station with your customisations, because going to a totally different station and finding your stuff there would be a total immersion breaker, but here's a lore-fitting suggestion that could cover that.

Why not have it that your customisations (hello kitty wallpaper, potted plants and a prized slaver hound fur rug) are stored as data on your ships computer, traveling with you wherever you go. When you dock, the station downloads the data and constructs your quarters environment from nanites until such time that you leave again, deconstructing the environment back to its base ready to be used by the next pod pilot to dock there.

That way your quarters can be the same wherever you go, you'll always feel at home no matter what area of space you're left in and better yet, you'll not have to worry about your plants dying of dehydration on you when you don't come back for a few weeks.

Pets? Organic pets are over rated anyway, why not just upload Fufu's consciousness to the computer and download it into a nanite constructed body every time you dock? No need to feed, no need to toilet train, just all companionship and zero mess!

Just a suggestion!

Player Videos in Captain Quarters
How about the ability to play videos created by other players who then send it to you mail. Once you open, the videos will download to your captain quarters where you can view it on the screen. When a player is in battle, they can decide to start recording their fight by releasing an probe that will orbit their ship. Even if they die, the probe will still be there and they can retrieve the probe so they can review the clip to see any flaws in their battle plans. This way it helps them become a better player all in all, of course it can be sent to friends which they can watch on in their captain quarters.
