Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I am thinking, that you are both right and wrong at the same time, for different reasons.

You are right, this is fiction, and they have a story line. They are under no obligation to amend it or cater to the interests of any group or individual.

And you are also wrong. They are a business, and EVE is not a stand alone novel on someone's shelf. It is a dynamic and evolving game, which means they use every means available to keep players happy.
I would hope they think long term, and hedge changes against damage potential in future circumstances. So far they have been better than a lot of companies in this area.
That said, they have a vested interest in catering to their customers, and molding this product moving forward to continue meeting their customers interests as best as possible.

That includes customer feedback, which we provide here.
We leave it to them to decide which efforts will bear the best results. Asking other players to not suggest ideas or wishes could be seen as selfish to some, suggesting perhaps you wish no changes, or have a request and hope to remove competition for it.

I do not label you with these intentions, since I have no reason to think this about you.

Instead, I suggest you should hang out with me on my bridge some time. I have these exotic dancers....

Even if it is just in station, I think we should be able to inspect our ships on the inside.

Why get excited over that small captain's quarters? You should see the party palace I got docked in the hangar.

It is entirely reasonable to expect the occasional project that simply makes the game more pleasing.

As to the Dev time, I trust CCP to manage that. When we second guess them it is always based on assumptions patched together with incomplete understanding of how they operate.

Trust them to handle important items. They guy fixing bugs may not be having the same skill set as one doing another project, so it's not like he could help in a meaningful way.

Not that I necessarily feel that this is the best use of development time, but I feel the need to point something out.

For the crowd saying "No, you sit in a pod filled with goo." you probably should try to keep up with current events.

One of the main concepts behind DUST is the discovery and reverse engineering of small cranial implants that allow the same "instant transmission of consciousness" that currently requires a pod for EvE players.

Granted, they awake in a generic clone but the ability to procure custom clones (based on their normal body one would assume) just like we do is on the to do list.

So if your argument is that a run of the mill DUST grunt will have access to more advanced, self contained cloning tech than the pod pilot elite... well... you might want to rethink that.

.....yup, and there would go aaaaall my ISK.

on a related note, this would make Mining actually fun!


EDIT: *snipped personal attack* - CCP Eterne

Oh, and there's a difference between the skills needed to fire a rifle and controlling massive ships the size of a small moon. "That's no moon." Also Clear Skies is not EVE canon, even if it frickin' awesome.

So yes, there have been advancements (as noted in recent news articles/chronicles) in capsuleer pod tech, but we're not at the point of walking in ships in space yet.

After reading many of thise treads then i cant stop thinking about the EvE video trailer where we see the Sansha leader or some sort walking over to a huge screen or window looking at all those ships flying outside on his way...

So, CCP must somehow have had the idea or mind about people walking around in ships, and not one person united with the ship as in the tv serie battles station something something..

OR maby it is possible to walk around the ship and still be connected to the ship as the ship it self could have its own AI.

Yes that would be much better then the 3 person view or what its called


















BTW. i just sold "Bullet silver".. this is my alt.

thats why the first guy who ever gonna step in to my ship, is the janitor,
he have to clean all the crap up after 3 years without dust off

yes, I agree, 1 person viewer would clearly be the best. for when we see how the current capt. quarter function, then it is not so good in my opinion, especially because it is not 1 person viewer, if now the door was open so we would get a completely different experience of being docked .. Many of us are also getting tired of spinning ships when we do not have anything better to do, so it could be be nice to UNDOCK ship and cruise between the planets sitting in the capt seat on capt. bridge ... and now I hope CCP is so sensible and respects this small wish... it cant be that hard to make

Oh Brother this totally doable! No need to leave the pod. Have the Captain Android do the walking, totally customization three meter tall of awesomeness. CCP I would paid $$$ just to have this! The risk would be that the driod would go down with the ship. Mine would look like Sauron.

PS I fact I would support WIS if Captain Android did the walking out side the CQ
