Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'm just going to leave this here: Jita 4-4 station idea

*Update: Someone mentioned the trade hub actually being a part of the moon, here is a quick sketch: Jita 4-4 Station Idea 2

Basically the size of the Jita station makes no sense for the amount of ships that can fit inside of it. Why not make it much larger? Why not use the moon it is so famous for being right next to?

The only issue I can imagine in implementing this is the sheer size of the structure, I however have every bit of faith in CCP for finding a work around with the rendering issue.

If people like the idea of making unique stations for trade hubs I could sketch some pics, if the ring station is too far fetched I could do some different iterations of the existing trade hubs, basically making them larger and more appealing to the average player.

If someone else already posted a thread like this, I'm sorry but I'm too lazy to check.

Why should it be redesigned? Has Jita 4-4 turned into an important station for the Caldari Navy that it warrants such an opulent construction? According to my latest information, the HQ of CN is still in Perimeter 2-1.

If we talk about this kind of structure for player owned stations in Sov Null sec, however, I am all game. Having such a station as your designated HQ station or otherwise important station (I guess an epeen enlargment also warrants such a building), would be very much welcome.

for it to be redisigned it needs a financial motivation i would guess, if the financial motivation is strong enough and if it fits the story then i definately think its worth looking into, the station is tiny

OOOOooooooohhhhh, love the concept

Yeah, because this game is about fiction done by devs, not things done by players?

Oh come on.

Jita 4-4 has been central of real EVE economy for ages and deserves some recognition. I don't really know about design and I don't actually care as long as it's bigger than normal station.


PS. I'm sure that devs can and will come up with some fiction around it also to make those people happy that care more about lore than real things that happen in EVE.

Volume is volume*

And if the mechanics change and the trade hub moves again, then what?

Actually, if you look at the art panels from the last Evefest or two, there are plans for stations to respond to player activity.

Now, it's pretty much in terms of holographic advertising appearing on the undock in differing densities, but that is the NPC world reacting to player activities.

Changing station models dynamically is probably out of the question though, as suddenly everyone's undock, insta-dock, safe cyno, and perch bookmarks could be obsoleted the moment a certain threshold of activity is reached. So, while I think the OP's idea is neat, no support.

You're thinking of Thera...or at least the ideal version of thera...

Pretty sure stations are bigger on the inside....

TIMELORD SCIENCE!!!

Yes I would like better stations but please not like that concept art.
