That is a fantastic idea that has been purposed many times.

EXCEPT

For some freaking reason some people hate it. The argument is that it will detract from the space sim. However if eve is such a social game, it sure doesn't feel like it.

How cool would it be if you took your ship to amarr, jita
And dock .........

"up walk out of your ship and see tons of ship
In the dock bay of other characters ship and walking in
The space station while you can greet other characters.
Try to picture it just like you see your character walking
In the hanger but in a huge stations where you see shops and other
Players walking around. Like a huge mall where you can go shopping
For clothes ship modifications, luxury ships for style or even walk
In to meet your friends in a bar station and have a drink".

or

"Load another game that does this"


The only idea I like about the whole WiS thing is Low Sec casinos.

What would be better is permadeath because they got ganked outside their pod.

And stealing their shoes.

Put wheels on your pod, i.e. an indoor motorized transport. Duh.

Also, why would anyone need to get out of their pod? You have implants directly in your brain, so you can basically experience any feeling or emotion that you want via direct brain stimulation or have synthetic hormones released into your body via the life support system. VR + brain implants + IVs means never having to interact in the flesh with another human being ever again!

Id tell you two to get a room, but unfortunately there is only one person allowed to a room at the moment in game.

Unless Alice is a hooker. Hookers aren't people, so you may be able to skirt the system with that technicality.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

This is the main reason why I'm hoping Star Citizen does well.

Not because I want to play it, but because "perhaps" it will finally get the people who insist that somehow Avatar based game play detracts from a SciFi game about space ships to realize how idiotic view point is.

Wait, I thought EvE was about spaceships?

Regarding betting on pvp matches, you get the Alliance Tournemant every year. Be happy with that. Organized arena pvp is not how EvE conventionally runs.

I would like a bar where you can sit down and share stories with other pilots, maybe play some betting games like pool or poker, and meet new people.

But I would rather like to be able to customize and do more with my ships, instead of play barbie with my toon. Since this is a game about...you know, Space Ships!

Yes, space ships are one of our primary tools for interacting with each other and the universe, but hardly the only one. There are distinct advantages for having more.

I'm just saying we spend most of the time in spaceships (capsuleers and the players) and yet we can't even give our ships a simple paint job or put decals on them. I care more about what my ship looks like than what my guy looks like since I will be staring at my ship for 99% of the game.

To me, that is more important than walking around in stations with more character customization and emotes P I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to have more WiS stuff, I'm just saying it's not as important as some other stuff I would like to see.

That to me would be phenomenal game experience in eve and attract
New players because of the social out come of it.

I know that will never happen but I think if it were to happen
More ppl would get highly addicted to eve online.

What do you think and what are your thoughts on that?


The Future but for now we are focus more in space ships /dancing /lol /hug. That can be waiting. No i like the idea really but for now let just focus on the bugs and pvp/pve content Smile

Both of which are impersonal. Talking to someone face to face seems better to me. Plus huddling around a table while a guy tells a story (that most likely he made up or has exaggerated) has more atmosphere.

And it would allow more possibilities of initiating small talk and meeting new people. I mean, sure you can do that in local chat but it's hard to do it unless you're in a system with lots of people like Jita but those places have tons of spammers filling up the chat so I mostly ignore local there.

So, go to a real bar and do that, or, go play second life if you have the overpowering need to get your "virtual" freakishness and role-playing groove on.

There's nothing "personal" about interaction when you are pretending to be someone in a pretend bar via an Avatar.

Yes, this is exactly the sort of thing i purposed in my earlier thread about sex furniture and animated sex balls in the Captain's Passage a week or so ago. Expanding my idea into the hole station is an execrable idea that I fully endorse! Shopping malls and bars and casinos and clubs for showing off and meeting for emergent intercourse would be wonderful.

Its no secret that something like 67% of Eve players were in favor of Wandering Into Stations when it was first prompted by the dev's, and they deserve pats on the back all round and hats off to boot. But why stop there? Push the boat out, CCP! Give the people what they want! Adult mature thematic elements, gambling, storytelling environments with dance and RP animations and player houses. In many other MMOs, the importance and value of player housing is legendary. Just look at Star Wars Galaxies! I like my Tristan, but it doesnt' have mantlepiece or a romantic boudoir for thematic liasons!

Signed +3 for this one.

There already is a megathread about this, so I'll keep it short.

For WiS or against?
Yes, I'm all for WiS social zones.
No, don't think you'll have to create these unrealistic "Hey, my capsuleer goes commando and goes on some radioactive station leaving his ship behind mini-games" Sounds both unrealistic AND cheap in my ears...
No, don't think it would change anything going on in space.
Player-Run shops, bars, etc would be cool

Will this ever happen? Nope, don't think so. CCP can't get it done. Don't blame them. We'll be caged forever, BUT we can spin our ships till senseless.

Does the whole "space barbies" and "Second Life" talk make sense?
Not when you look at other games and the original premise that EVE was thought of as a total immersion space simulation.

"Fix the space bugs & stuff" talk...

Yes, I stumble over tons of critical bugs every day. Just jumped about 90 jumps between two toons, crashed every second, but boldly re-logged every time. Erm, no. Actually didn't crash at all. But the news that you can do some stuff easier within POS UI, e.g., surely will draw in new players... Lets focus on that! Get those avatar designers reschooled so they can fix UI stuff.

Would EVE be a better game with WiS & social aspects?
Who can tell? CCP perhaps, if they would do some research in their prospective playerbase.

Conclusion: We have a great game in EVE. WiS would be great, but will never happen.
Also kinda hope Star Citizen will be a success, though it won't be EVE, as the scope limits number of players online. It will be shards/instances. Likely small ones.
I'll probably play both if it is any good.
Also would look forward to more direct contrals then hopeful double-clicks in space, really, when we are at "space aspects". But that's just EVE. Luv it... Hate it at the same time sometimes.
