Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Not in capsule fitted ships anyway.

That's quite funny.

So, who is piloting the ship, which is co.troled exclusively from your pod, while your not in it? Not to mention that when a breach of the pod is detected, the clone transfer process activates.

Yes, the cloning process begins with the capsule's breach.

But we can leave the pod without triggering it - we doing exactly that by hitting th CQ button.

The DUST players are being cloned without a pod - recently discovered tech.

The ship can be empty, but i see no reason why can't we walk around it. We could also use the drone controlled from our pod. As well as just get the access to the interior cameras. If there will be some DUST bad guys i'd like to know which room to went or which cage to open.


And btw give us the bike for the Riding on Stations.

Running? Taking a nap on the bed? Opening the door? making us able to place stuff where we want it? More interactivity with TV etc? Window overlooking the undock? Bigger ships in the hangar?

im really sad that ccp is doing jackshit to expand on wis or avatars
no new full sleeve tats.
no new cloths.
no meaningful game play
all stuff ccp has said they were going to bring but looks like the dropped the ball again im sick of seeing SOON tm. its bs dont put the **** in your trailers if your never going to do it

My ideas for CQ improvement:

1 - Make the ship in your hangar look its correct size. My cruisers look as big as my battleships. No real sense of scale.

2 - On the video wall, allow a external station camera view so we can see what is outside. Controllable view camera would be a bonus.

3 - Allow the avatar to lie down in the bed.

4 - On the video wall, a more interesting video feed. While the space battle scenes look great ( if only in game pew looked as good...), some more content would be great.


BTW, if anybody has suggested these ideas before, tough. Im *not* going to read through 30 odd pages of thread.

my ideas (that somebody has probably has already thought of)


To be added to the CQ Screens.

- Eve role play fiction/backstory eg chronicles and short stories can be viewed on the CQ screens.

- Eve news (the same as what is in the launcher and log in screen) viewed on the CQ screens.

- CQ screens need to be bigger (text is too hard to read)

- scrolling functionality added to screens so we can read news +other stuff that is longer than the screen.

Basically I want the CQ to serve a role playing purpose and also give my character a overview of what else is happening in Eve.

Any news on the CQ screens should be reserved for ingame stuff like corporation/sov wars, live events etc . eg not announcements about EVE subscriber milestones or war against bots etc. (this can remain on the launcher and log in portal.


External station Camera

- A repeating video would be fine. (assuming a live camera is to hard on the servers)
- remove all the overview stuff eg target boxes and icons from the external station camera.


Fishtank
- self explanatory (with a giant octopus that lives off capusuler corpses)

Dancing girl hologram
- for those lonely nights

With the introduction of Dust implants that allow for a limited brain spike, so long as your capsule is near, or wherever your clone's routing hub for your brain pattern to be sent off for a new clone, I'd imagine it's possible to walk around outside your pod and not entirely worry about losing immortality.

Would also explain CQs, the Broker (from the book, although pre-wormholes discovered, he could have "acquired" the tech from Jove), and future station walking around interaction.

Would also explain why we don't have it now, since us capsuleers carry so many investors to our name and daily function, there will be reluctancy to include the new prototype implants as options for us. At the time of CQs coming out, either we just picked them up or don't have them yet and lore-potentially might never get them because of all the investment in the capsule, but it shouldn't stop you from including it in your roleplay.

Posting in a thread that CCP does not, and never will care about or pay attention to (sadly).

So bear with me this is a different direction than I think eve really has had.

The captains quarters upgrade changed a lot of the way people see the game. you are a person immortal in many ways but none the less you are the man in your profile picture... The captains quarters is slow as a UI, So a quick change is needed.... Shift to RUN. that is step one in establishing a more realistic embedding of Role playing as a character... taking 2 minutes form sitting to ship dock is too slow. so there is one fix.

THE BIG CHANGE

Everyone want the door from your quarters to go to somewhere. Jita and other trade hubs make this impossible to open to the full station but lets take a step back and see how the game is logically divided.

any long term player that understand synergy understands why joining a good corp is a benefit. not to mention the quality of people you meet in them really an epic idea. These corporations are where the first step is made available. Corporations have to rent space in stations for offices. lets make this rent worth the money. give that corp an option to have a corporate Office space. fit with some light mini games, couches, maybe even a TV that you can use to access youtube in game. More important features like a Meeting room with a table that uses holographic images to show data as presented during the meeting... like ship fitting, list of items used the ship shown options to pull up that info in a more visually astounding way through interactive holographic display over menus.

so now we have a meeting room and a lounge of sorts lets consider additional options for corporate directors. an office for each so that when they log in they are accessible by their virtual counterparts immediately and they have access to key data like war reports and wallet info all on holographic displays like seen in the captains quarters.

Now fast forward, your corp is at war, your waiting for the time to strike as an enemy enters local, alone, the lounge clears out as people frantically go to board ships and engage the target. this adds a more human nature to the game interacting on a personal level.

Don't get me wrong in no way do i want a first person shooter to come from eve, DUST excluded but also something that could be added into the game easily. as this gives players a chance to see and talk with DUST players in a common area. given this might mean dust is going to need a "facelift" literally like that that eve received with character development.

Now for those people out there that don't want to use this.. you don't have to, for those that want a more in depth game play lets look at the next level realistically first. not jump the gun to a full station access.


LOOKING PAST THE MAIN IDEA.

lets be realistic this proposition will take time, a lot of it. but eventually we will be looking for something more...... An alliance Office, like an upgraded corp office, more spacious, more customization and more costly to rent out. Its 3 am here so I've got nothing on what to do differently here other than make it bigger and better for the alliance level... Alliance kill board or something on the walls. with scope TV running with live reports from battles in null and low. making it so you don't need to be on facebook or the internet page to see hey something big is happening like the gall navy jumping a Caldari titan in high sec. that is big news to the point where a TV broadcast from Scope, like we have seen before, comes up in game.

these are the first steps past that there are many options but the door needs to lead somewhere. lets make it work for everyone's favor.
