Player Features and Ideas Discussion

simple idea, if your corp has an office at a station then corp members could walk around and interact with each other, a small stepping stone to more WiS and perhaps a test bed for dust & eve character interaction.

One thing i'd like to see, and this may seem totally unnecessary to the Null-sec'ers and hardcore PVP'ers, is a cinematic for when you get podded . In other games i've played, when you die, their is a cinematic event that occurs that signifies that "Ahhh crap" moment. Just a little 5-10 sec thing would be great, immersion wise.

Eve atm lacks that, and for new players, it might be a good way to signify that "uhhh, maybe i should not do that again because look at all the trouble that i got into as a result, i mean this cinematic is playing for goodness sake!!" Of course, this should be able to be disabled in general settings for those who could care less, but I think for others it would be a cool feature.

So as many of you know, CCP is hosting a number of Q&A sessions as outlined in this dev blog

I really encourage all those who are wanting more compelling avatar gameplay to log into the livestream and ask CCP for some answers.

Interesting. I can imagine new characters sculpting captured by such devices
And i think there should be some cutscenes and dialogues to make use of lip animation...

But all of those things are far too much for eve at least in the nearest years

Of course it'll be interesting. But i don't think they gone that far with the avatars - most likely they just doing it manually - lips, gestures...

this idea!

just in case no-one else has thought to suggest it.....

Watch the twitch and other streams on the screen.

That would actually BE AWESOME... Espcially if CCP would get som special motion capture setup and ofc show behind the scenes mini documentary about it..

A bit like in this video KD LAng Music Video Halleluja

First, functional changes.

Some of us aren't 'list' thinkers, or 'text' thinkers, we're spacial thinkers. We don't find the large hybrid ammo because they're in the box labelled 'large hybrid ammo', but because the box is 'on the top shelf, to the left'. Anyone familiar with the idea of a memory palace knows that spacial association can be an important element to sorting and arranging things. CQ seems like the ideal place to have an 'inventory' room for people who would appreciate such a thing.

Similar thing would go for the hanger- not to mention the fact, being able to see your whole fleet of collected ships arranged before you is that much cooler. One thing that really bugs me about the CQ is often the ships don't feel to scale. I don't know if having an observation platform you can fly around your ship(s) and get a true sense for the scale of them would help.

Keeping on topic with 'functional' changes, I'd like to see CQ analogs of most menus. One of the most obvious ones is going into character customisation without breaking away from the CQ- bonus points for having clothes on racks or (virtual) mannequins for perusal, although I don't fancy those load times. Another would be a stellar cartography room, which holds the map.You get the idea

Apart from that, there's the fluff. I think an observation window is a fantastic idea, especially if it reflects what's sitting on the undock or at least just the local solar system- it's a space game, and being stuck inside a space station is the antithesis of that- give us space! Captains should be able to afford penthouse quarters, after all. Animating the captain <-> pod <-> ship sequence, or refitting of ships, their cargo, or the switching of ships would be great- I know one thing that can sell me on a new game is small touches like that- shows a developer that cares and doesn't sweat the small details.

They already have exotic dancers as trade goods, why not just have the option to have a dancer on a pole. Its not like it would affect the game rating as long as there is no full nudity. Just the outfit the exotic dancer has on in the small picture as a trade good. Also should add a male version for female players who want some eyecandy while chilling in captians quarters.

EDIT- Forgot to mention amarr stations should not have that option to keep in line with lore. Also could make it a noble exchange shop option, as people buy aurums ingame with isk so it will still be accessible to everyone still.
