I would like to be able to navigate with the mouse and keyboard and have an FPS like view while doing so. WASD and third person view and I just do not get along.

I support a first person view. Just let us continue to scroll the mouse in. Why does EvE have to have the constant 'player as center' third person view?

You don't need feet and hand motions (thought that would be nice).

As far as mouse movement, that's already there. Double click anywhere in your area, you'll walk to that spot automatically. Hold both left and right mouse down, you move in that direction.

If you're driven to threaten others with harm or violence because of what they do in game, you can't separate fantasy from reality. That "griefer/thief" is probably more sane than you are. How screwed up is that?

As i put it on aother thread....why does CCP keep this thread open? What's the point in suggesting new things if they're never going to see the light of day.
I would like something, ANYTHING released on every expansion. A new corridor, or something, until we can finally see another player face to face.
I like the hologram suggestions too.
Just to believe that Incarna is not dead.

I do not understand this. I've reworked it more than once in my head. Is it French? Or are there letters I'm now missing, like a W in the middle?

Jeez ...

It typically involves between 4 and 9 people.

Faster run/walk option, lets use load items from that game into the quarters it would be pretty cool to be able to customize it, i feel a lot of people would spend a lot of time with it.

I've got two ideas, one that's probably already been asked for:

-A bar. However, I don't want a simple bar, I would like a bar where there are various drinks we can choose from that will give us temporary bonuses, but they wouldn't be as strong as drugs (etc.) and their duration is shorter.

-A free-running course. Basically, if you've never played parkour (I do), it's an obsticle course that tests your agility. Of course, I think it'd be neat to implement it, but there shouldn't be an 'agility' level for how well we can do the course. Each faction would have their own courses in different designs.

When Bon Scott died and he appeared before St. Peter at the gates of Heaven, St. Peter looked at his record and told him he couldn't get in. Just then, God screams at Peter, "Let him in, Karen Carpenter is driving me nuts. I want to hear some music with balls. We'll haggle over the paperwork later." At least I hope that's what happened.

Provide a tool to let corps more easily synchronize .bik files into the merc TV. Or somehow let players customize advertisements for things in there like corp recruitment posters, industrial corp production adverts, or pvp services.

Is this just a permanent sticky? Everything I've read--even from CCP--has been that WiS isn't going to be further developed in the near future so you guys can work on "internet spaceships."

Enter grid and you're already dead, destined to be reborn and fight another day.

They've been working on FiS for a while now, just a bit more and they'll be done for a while. Time to enhance WiS then.

Hi,

some ideas from my side:
* Let me custom my quarter with custom objects. Take some ideas of Lord of the Rings.
** It is cool that you can change music, walls, inventory (even garden objects).
** Give us items to buy and to loot.
* Let me invite someone to my quarter.

A small example:
A roque drone servitor pet flying around and do funny stuff.
A corpse on the wall of a blood raider
Fish tank
A small pod statue
A holo dancer (male or female)
A real dog playing around

From my point of view this is a fluff aspect. So give it some real fluff :)

Really nice thread and thank you CCP for already nice and amazing captains quarter. I know its little piece of the game but for me its one of the most immersive piece of the game. We have lot of nice ideas in this thread and I am looking forward into gameplay inside stations.

However after brief look into the thread I did not see people speaking lot about plants. I would really much like to see flora that was custom to minmatar, gallente, caldari and amarr.

Then it seems that we lack culture we could definitely have culturic items that you could place or were preplaced in your room. Also perhaps we could have different type of music / songs for different cultures that could play in captains quarters. Also the experience in space for every race pilot is the same. Perhaps if you flied Minmatar you could hear such engagament songs battlestar galatica 2013 has today.

Also when you start a character we could perhaps receive random set of decoration items. For example if you start as Amarr you could get religious items. That were able to place in the room.

What actually bothers me a bit in captain quarters is now that it seems to be as if its always in the colors of station faction. This is in a sense fine but for me it breaks immersion. We live in scifi world in EVE yet we are stuck in constructions? I mean its your room why cannot we customize the room walls, floor, ceiling? Just as a wild idea you could texture your ceiling as sky so that it had in depth detail that it looked like sky. Floor could perhaps be turned into glass and drawn fish tank beneath you? Walls omg just something not this same metal we see everywhere.

So what I would like to see in future is more customization, making the captain quarters look like home as much pilot in space could have.

There's a version from here in Texas I hear is quite popular...

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.

The comment about flora reminded me that I want a miniature slaver hound.
