EVE General Discussion

Yeah, not everyone agrees on that on the dev team. Many feel that the crews should simply perish, given how easily replaceable they are in the world of New Eden... Buf since it's on the wiki, then yes, a few people might survive in some instances

This is an ambulation suggestion, and it probably isn't a "little" suggestion, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to post.

When walking on inclines, I've noticed that the footing and legs of an avatar don't scale to the environment. My suggestion? Inverse kinematics. Considering the physics middleware that operates within Carbon, I don't think this would be extremely difficult to achieve. Little animation touches like that are really great, I think. Rockstar Games uses Euphoria in RAGE and their games end up having pretty great and dynamic physics based animations. I'm not suggesting that CCP adopts something like Euphoria, but since PhysX is already a component of Carbon, I don't think something as simple as inverse kinematics would be too difficult to implement.

i know its not a graphical thing but if you could pass it to your sound guys thatd be awesome!

People rarely use sound in eve cause people consider it adds lag to and from the server in some form. if some devs could dispell this myth thatd be awesome!
but itd also be great if the amount of resources that Eve's sound uses could be reduced. whether using sound samples or sounds synthesis (i think would be preferred) i think it needs to be looked at.

theres always a question when it comes to eves sound as to how to place it. the purists would say theres no sound in space and id say thats true.

But id also say that sounds should be thought of occuring inside your ship and only inside ur ship. all the various energetic particles and spacial phenomena could interact between space, ur shields, ur hull etcc to create a whole spectrum of sound frequencies.

Dont connect the sound with the camera! even though it may initially make sense, it actually removes a sense of self when flying in space. i find it ridiculous u can hear sounds of things 100's of KM away by moving your camera there, yet not hear a thing about whats going on right next to your ship!

I miss freespace and the sense of scale when flying along a cap.

The only thing that bothers me is when my ships on fire... it looks cheap.

Ship explosions I think are fine... just the audio sucks.

I LIKE the new hardener. The old shield harderner/booster looked terrible, you couldn't even see the ship most of the time.

With the current ship explosion system, the time between still alive and wreck is a matter of 2 or 3 seconds. If the ship entered an unstable tumbling explosion for a 5 to 30 seconds (depending on the size of the ship), there could be a lot of time for escape pods.

It's really not an issue. It's just something that I'd like to see to see in the game, much like a lot of things posted in this thread.

You know, one of the ways you could flesh out the world would be to give Zazzmatazz and Zor and Kruul, etc, all avatars.. and maybe make a short film to advertise.

Also, more products besides Quafe to promote would be cool.

Little Feature : Red Speedo


Soundwave Little Feature Thread : Red Speedo



When you get webified, instead of your top speed showing "max" speed with blue bars, can you show a RED speedometer to show that our top speed is getting reduced and it makes it very clear we're being webbed and how much rather than thinking we're going full speed :

Your drones could use some kind of warning they are being damaged.

If they could glow yellow when being locked on and glow red in-game when they are being attacked (as well in the drone window) along with a sound cue.

Jump gates sending light in both directions. needs to be greater in the direction you are going or change Galentie gates.
