EVE New Citizens Q&A

like what the topic says , as for now we can walk inside our captain room but is there plan to further integrate third person view in other aspects of the game?? and when if so?

Probably not for a while...We are still trapped in our CQ...:(

Main reason why, cause there's so many other old problems to fix in EVE that when the initial captain's quarters came out there was a riot (about that and a few other major things).

Since then the devs have essentially rewritten any plans they had for walking around environments (as they realized they were nothing at all like what we wanted).

They have some concepts for some exploration on foot in derelict structures and even some internal mock ups, but for now all of that is on hold until they get some major key items cleaned up. Right now they are in the process of rebalancing every ship in the game and will be probably remaking several out dated interfaces and in the case of player starbases probably completely remake the system.

Walking around environments are def not off the table, but they certainly aren't next in line for development either.

so ships in eve dont have any crew in them? like in the massive big ships?

Your a pobpilot, demigod. Why would you want to walk among mortals? Also pod rolling down corridors of ship would look funny. Dont think any ships has suport systems needed to actually allow exit from pod.

How do you know they are windows.

And yes a walking in your ship will work pretty good.

Ooh I"m in the cargohold, and suddenly some ganker shoots my ship. Now I have to walk all the way back to the bridge to even be able to see what is happening and who is shooting me...

Ooh, I don't mind walking in stations...as long as it adds features to the game and is usefull. Not like current CQ which is useless as you can do the same from your NEOCOM and loading station hangar or the static picture is way quicker then rendering the CQ.

What one do exactly in the ship? And if the ship were destroyed whilst you walking around the decks, would that mean that that you've effectively become podded?

There really isn't any point in this and it would only remove development resources from the game development and I would see this as a pointless distraction.

Sorry to disagree.

well it is possible to bypass the pod thing by enabling a player to walk around in the ship by being a hologram also the inship thing could be like mass effect inship mechanic like checking on the engine ,weaponry , warehouse , and navigation also one could have friends over his ship

As a reminder, the ability to get an "out of pod" experience is something that a large portion of the player base has been asking about for a while.

Obviously, we wanted it to be more than just a single room with a door that doesn't open -- which is the problem. The supporters of "Walking in Stations" really just wanted a place where everyone could meet, such as a bar or "Corporation Office", and interact with each other. The Captain's Quarters provides the ability to get out of your Pod without providing the actual interaction that fueled the core of the desire to be out of the Pod in the first place.

Also, from what CCP has leaked, it appears that the "Walking in Stations" concept was a precursor to being able to dock at exploration sites then get out of your ship and actually explore the compound, hacking computers and possibly avoiding traps.

Still, walking around your ship makes little sense. There is not any interaction to be had these since no other players will be on it. You aren't going to hack your own computers. You can't control anything from outside your Pod. And it would be a lot of work since every ship would need an interior.
