EVE General Discussion

Hello,
I would like to know what direction this awesome feature is going to lead to:

saw some old videos and I cannot wait to walk TOGETHER - with other avatars on the stations. I mean the couch in cq is cosy and looks good.....but if I finally buy some avatar-clothes for AUR, that is nearly as expensive as somones rl clothes, I also want that somebody can have a look at it, too...in some bar probably?

- What exactly is planned?
- What exactly is worked on?
- When are you going to deliver it?

- What cind of "walking on stations" will that be?
Is it possible to own shops...and sell items (similar to SL)? will there be some cind of bars to drink QAFE? (like this guy in the dev video :-) )
Is it possible to trade person to person ?

- will there be emotes? And noises?

What is actually planned? What is actually fiction? And (dth), what is actually worked on?? :-)

cindly asking for some cookies

I look forward to watching the hard vacuum effects on players "walking on stations". Would make flying in space near a station even better.

I call troll.

hi,

Im not sure whom u call troll - but I think its nothing that anybody has to feel ashamed of, If he wants to know what actually is/has been planned ;

It's interesting to know in how far this should be realized - and what cind of "face" and direction this feature should have.

I dont think that such a feature can be completely rebuild every year so easy...as a result of this of course some "directions" and plans already should exist - even if they didnt start programming it.


- What game aspects should WIS finally fulfill?

Wis will be a good thing when its ready simply because it adds another angle to the game. If you dont want it you can just turn it off until you feel like using it.

Just like every other aspect of the game. You have to try new things to keep it fresh.


EDIT playing poker in a bar with other toons will be my thing for the moment

Poker and all of its cousins! Eve styled cards would be awsome to, maybe they can steal BSGs cut off corners.

The questions take alot of time to answer, argue design then code.

Answering the questions however is probably the longest time consumption. it make take an expansion or two before we see real progress in this as the questions get answered slowly on some whiteboard somewhere in the office.

I know this does not answer your question really, but for it to be fun each station will need to have different rooms/sections for each function.

For example, you will need a room/module for the market, and another for industry/science, and building, another for medical bays, and so on.

Now consider the hundreds of stations in all their variety in New Eden.

You could make one generic station template for all of them - but this would not be very immersive so - they will have to hire an environments 3d staff and a dedicated team for such a project. That's an enormous undertaking.

I am looking forward to having a station window though to see who might be coming, going, or camping! :)

Flying mounts.

You're in for dissapointment then.
