Can we also get to view the outside of the station while docked? Seriously.

This is a dead horse. It has been beaten.

This is something that is way overdue. It makes no sense.

I realize the obvious argument:

"Then the 'grid' is loaded and you should be able to undock without any load time."

It's not half bad if you really think about it given how aggression works.

They would allow this if there was a way to lock players from docking in (scrambler)

I think that feature will have to wait for Incarna 2.0

Hm..
One or a few channels for the CQ widescreen that shows the exterior.
Perhaps a "live feed" from sentry gun mounted cameras. What?

But, ofcourse none of this would ever be considered if there are no plans to continue work on WiS.

Isn't the station environment separate from the space one on the server? I seem to recall a Dev talking about it, where it was done that way so that the station environment wouldn't lag the space gameplay.

Nex (Cash Shop) / Aurum - removing sand from the sandbox since Incarna. Currently the only use for aurum is to buy virtual items in the in-game store, but Cockerill expects to expand its uses in the future.

It just makes a lot of sense. With all this advanced technology and all.. Blink CCP

Really though, technically since we're in the system, shouldn't there be a way to code it so we can just select an option in our settings and we can view the system as though the station it'self is our ship? I mean, our ships are [objects[ in [space] right?

I dunno, I'm a programmer myself, and today I worked out some crazy stuff in a zend framework to manipulate some data. Somehow this feels related.

I'll remember that the next time I undock with a firetail and it gets instagibbed by an arty loki due to hmm, your point is withstanding.

However it is immediately nullified from my original post.

I feel I must elaborate a little here...

This is about intel, this is something every alliance/corp/whatever has in eve.

It's a station. You're docked in it. Your ship is inside it. We're supposed to walk around in it. We have CQ.

This exactly.

Station camping is a part of war.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

Suicides and kick out's were nerfed into oblivion when they changed the undock speed. Used to be you got spat out at a high velocity regardless of ship. You want to see outside station and are honestly that scared?

Turn on your session timer for starters, if you are really that scared get in a noob ship and undock. Immediately hit cntrl-spacebar and wait out your session timer invulnerable in dock range. It's seriously that easy and is no excuse to have such a feature in the game, if you are stupid enough to get killed on undock you deserved it.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

Why would you want to look outside? It's dangerous out there! You should stay indoors and watch space-pony-adventure-time on your 100inch flatscreen TV (Soon in 3d).

has been discussed with CCP before

conclusion was if we get windows, we will also be unable to dock while scrammed.

Well don't undock in your firetail then... or make instawarp bookmarks or something
Also like a previous poserted said: turn on session change timer, undock, stop the ship, wait 30 seconds while you're invulnerable, dock again.
There, you have just looked outside with no risk to your ship
