well i'm only a noob but i was bit underwhelmed the first time i went there. i get that it wasn't designed to be a central place and that players made it the central hub, but it would be cool if the building model was upgraded to something more impressive befitting it's nature. would make sense rp wise, all the money flowing through it etc. it doesn't look like a structure that is the beating heart of the eve universe. it just looks like..well... a small naval assemby plant.

/Agree

As the OP said, even Jita4 has been player driven. Its not unreasonable that a station that popular would upgrade itself.

I'd actually totally support Jita 4-4 getting a kickass new station model. I could see it for Dodixie/Amarr/Rens/Hek as well.

I mean, I'm sure there's **** that takes higher priority, but still, it'd be pretty cool.

as far as amarr goes, youd think the stations in the CAPITAL of the "Golden Empire" would be a bit mroe... extravagant? let travelers know they just stepped into the hornets nest.

+1 but I honestly don't see CCP working on this, they're way too efficient to look at something on the fringe like this, unless they upgrade all station models at the same time.

No offense to OP, just being realistic Ugh

I love the idea.

EVE needs more monumental displays of raw power and scale.

agreed, it should be huge, with half finished ships since its a naval assembly plant, add space docks like on the ship construction arrays etc.

Honestly, sometime soon i would love it if different stations actually had the scale and visual appearance of what they are supposed to be. looks weird to be at a naval yard with no yard.

i agree, the jita station should look like something that could actually hold multiple freighter sized ships. perhaps it could also be a station's first to have multiple exits. this could also counteract the station camping a little more.

Finally a sensible idea in Assembly Hall - well done.

Perhaps each base station could have two or three "upgrades" depending on player activity volume based on a 30 day average/total or whatever.

Make New Eden a bit more dynamic even if it's only eye candy.

Its time to stand up against the bad empire based CEO telling falsehoods about what new characters can accomplish and pushing them towards an in game experience of drudgery and loneliness keeping them in the shadow of ignorance for at nest their own profit at worse apathy towards all the experiences that Eve has to offer.

They could just make another category of racial station models, larger ones, and auto-apply them to the ones that see x amount of traffic or above.

Making one just for Jita would be a bit extravagant, but I agree with the idea.

Could come along with station V3? Which, you know, is scheduled and everything.

If I recall correctly, CCP was looking into making stations "modular" in some way... adding or taking away a "block" or two depending on its average traffic and internal population.

It's been awhile since I heard that though. Maybe they are waiting for the V3 project to be finished and/or DX11 to become more widely used.

How did you Veterans start?

Absolutely. Great idea . . . if you cannot do the pos then add eye candy around it, bigger billboards or 'pleasure hubs'

Like the idea.

I would prefer it integrated into some ccp upgrade to stations universally though.

Dynamic Station models based on their activity. Something like 5 tiers.

If ccp finally decides to get rid of the old npc building slots it could also be linked to the number of player owned slots rented to the stations, with visuals of npc ships moving from the stations to the planets related to the player owned moons.

Thus linking POS , STATIONS and PI together in one nice trinity.

I like the idea.

Every time i go to jita 4 i see a huge number of ships, all in each others way exiting the station. A busy spaceport like this probably whould benefit from having multiple number of exits and such.
The look of the station isn't a big thing for me as such but it seems reasonable that the busyest trade hub ingame whould have a more extravagant look than others.

be nice if they could make the un-dock a little easier in the process too, perhaps have 4 exits to help lower the bumping of ships.

would be amazing. Add VIP-Lounges (for CQ) for ISKIES where you can see what's going on on the outside and you have a pretty solid ISK sink on top of a nice eye-candy.
