Thanks for starting the thread Arcathra this is the sort of small enhancements to the CQ we want to be making whilst prototyping and maintaining the technology.

We're actively taking ideas from this and other threads into our backlog.

I don't have much use for going to a virtual bar and drinking virtual drinks with virtual people, but if I were to get my geek on and could have any one improvement added to the CQ - I guess it wouldn't be a trophy room or a bathroom.

My favorite element in most sci-fi has always been stellar cartography. From that room in the Star Trek films to the galaxy map in Mass Effect, a stunning, virtual 3D model presenting the logistics of known space qualifies as awesome. Our current in-game map can be unfolded but the graphics are dated and the interface is still unintuitive - requiring a lot of drop down menu navigation. Not to mention that much of the most useful info is separated under different tabs/settings which many newer players don't even know exist.

And I don't think the two need necessarily be redundant. Whereas the FiS map can provide bare-bones info, stellar cartography could give us visuals the FiS map currently doesn't along with in-game real-time info. Zooming in on a particular system could present players with all relevant stats plus info about pod kills, corp wars, number of players in system, etc. Basically all the functions of the FiS map in one place wrapped up in sexy visuals. I can't imagine this would be a priority though so I guess it's a pipe dream....

All I know is that I'd spend time in this room if it existed.

One of the things that i like when i started to play (long ago) was not the only a serious Sci-Fi atmosphere... Not dark or something - serious. STO it's Sci-Fi too, but it's different.

The second major thing was the way we as a pod pilots were treaten. Like we are the High Class. Aura in the tutorial, the backstory. Like we're going to cool places, have a high standards. In other words, we can go anywhere, do anything and recieve the best service. Freedom. No rush.

In other games, it's like: "Welcome rookie! Ok, i think you're good enough - grab your gear and GO GO GO! Move your skinny ass!"

Well... For most of the player corps here it's exactly like this. But i don't care, i'm not playing for anyone except me. And anyway, i'm "elite" even by their criterias, but as i said, i don't care because i'm playing(ed) for myself

So my point here is that i want this High Class when i travelling - fly and walk with my char in this universe. At least because i have some of this in my RL.

Just my thoughts. It's very unlikely to be implemented. Just WiS seems like an impossible task for CCP. And the things i described.... Well, it's kinda hard to simulate a bit of freedom while sitting on your fuggen job, hahaha :) The corn flakes and other shite everywhere in the gallente CQ. I know a few details about you ;)

in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?

i think it is unrealistic that in stations everyone has a storage space and quarters by default. i think that one should purchase storage for a low amount of ist just for realisms sake. so if one goes to a station he has never been to before and doesnt buy storage, leaves items in station and wants to udock the sation alerts him to buy storage or his items will be reclaimed or something and he will have to pay rent to the station for holding them.

towards the concept of customizeable CQ one should sleep in a very small room unless one chooses to purchase a largers CQ space or the same sized one already present. if you buy a quarter in a station you may then customize it with physical objects.... if not then the only customization should be in form of digital ones as in digital posters and on screen details.

So back to the YouTube thing. If we click the TV screen could it not automatically open a Web browser outside of the Client? The in client one sucks. Just let players choose from a list of installed browsers in the settings.

How hard would this actually be?

Well, i've heard that ingame browser uses the Chrome engine... So it's could be a good browser if they'll make some improvements and add the Flash support. Why not? They're now doing the UI crap anyway.

As for an outside browser...Why then would i watch the CQ screen in the first place? In full screen... So i need to hide the window and open Chrome.

But i'm not a big fan of this plasma thing... I'm interested in the other things. But it's a nice addition.
In the future they can use the same plasmas near the corps offices to provide information and ads - text, images and video... Maybe even sound.

How about being able to use items i.e. the gift items we got one is of a ship so lets be able to press a button on it and it shows the hologram of the ship.

Also at a corps HQ your corps avatars can interact in the office ... various games you could buy as items like chess set... monopoly etc.
Also some sparring would be fun and riding various animals in hallways and a spot of jousting ...

other than that, fix the thing that causes people to enter the CQ when they press Enter immediately after docking.

Why the hell they do that in the first place?

most weak alliances spend there time spinning there ships in station, might as well pot some mini games in the CQ. allow them to use that oversize monitor in the room to something practical, like playing tetris or pac-man while your station is being camped.

if that is overbearing for ccp, then maybe you can add some animation interactions like smoking a cigaret. a good idea is to let your character do idol animations like in sims such as using the toilet, admire your trophies or doing push ups on the catwalk.

personally i would like to see avatar features, that will not take much effort or time from game balancing or space contents. i think everyone will be satisfied and allow ccp devs to do something new, and for us to experience it.

off topic..... cockpit FTW \o/

the idea of seeing and interacting with the cockpit would be nice to see
