This thread needed a funeral at inception.
I haven't been to one of those in a long time.

I actually am for WIS but I say this is bad because one compromise I have in mind for WIS is to separate the inside local from the out side local. Personally I cant see why a station would give you up since your coming there to spend isk. After we get WIS, a generic window, fine. Actual view of the outside? no, i dont see it. To much server load.

Space is dark so you wouldn't see anything.

If windows existed, no one would undock.

That almost sounds like you are saying that Eve is NOT real.

And how could that be?

There is no window, only door, and they are shut tight. P

Easiest way to create something like this would be a station service that gives you a 250km directional scan around the station for ISK. Pay for every refresh. I am sure it would amount to a good ISK sink even if the fee would only be 1000 ISK per scan.

Astronauts in International Space Station can see Earth through windows. The module that the windows attached to is called Tranquility. Windows in station make sense.

Funny, because Tranquility is running on Windows. ^_^

A single, fixed position, remote camera view on the CQ TV would make more sense, could be similar to getting a feed on the ingame browser.

This falls under the same reasoning that our ships can't automatically refresh it's scanner.

Yeah, but then they haven't even got the scanner tech stable enough that it actually runs every time you ask it to Sad

People keep killing all the window lickers in game and you wonder why we can't look outside?

Station environment is different but the client can still access information as far as I can tell. Why not access information from station than you currently cannot ?
I think it's just a case of trying not to add things in that would potentially make another part of the game obsolete. It's a fair topic to bring up because the effects of that aren't necessarily that obvious.
