So what's in it for those of us who don't, or in my case cannot, use the waste of drive space commonly referred to as the Captain's Quarters?

The space used to fill this in CQ, can I use that space instead for a coffee machine that increases the amount of skill points?

This is not a bad idea, though i'd like something so players can tell i'm a 10 year vet in space. But a sword in my CQ could be nice. if we had corp quarters these could be displayed on a 'wall or heroes' or something for all corp mates to look at

Given the reaction when CCP put in the CQ to begin with, I think you can expect them to get to this sometime between never and the end of time.

(And yes, I realize that all of the reaction was not because of CQ itself, but the seething hatred Incarna still engenders in many who remember it is probably enough to dissuade them)

Eve is like an addiction; you can't quit it until it quits you. Also, iderno

Thanks, I thought If CCP devs get a sword for "sticking" with the game, w-t-f not us, right ?

I know that seagull said 'no to WiS work' but honestly, i think they have some room to grow and play with here if they looked into it. maybe would help bridge all games together, but besides that, i like the ops idea. Its would not take much to do, and might make some people happy. If you never use your CQ them meh.

Because 90% of the playerbase goes "T3 destroyers, wooo! Minmatar Vertical supremacy!" and can't care less about captains quarters.

That's why.

The portion of the playerbase that actually cares about WiS is a very small portion overall. And if you go by % of # of accounts instead of just actual people, it gets even lower.

Make it an engraved sword, steel if they haven't earned silver yet.

lol the CQs never got the station interior upgrade. When going from hangar view to CQ - the difference is really obvious - its silly, but that's what ruined CQ for me :(

I think the whole walking around a stations thing was a bad idea from the start. So the plan was to allow players to walk around station and see and interact with other players. Jita is going to look like WoW. But back on topic, I do agree that there should be some sort of permenant "thing" that shows the veterancy of players. I personally don't care to see something that only I can see that says how long I've been playing. I already know how long I've been playing. There are commemorative ships given out each year but anyone can buy one. It has to be something public and permenant like a different color "ion trail" coming from your thrusters or a badge or emblem on your ship.

Yeah, but what kind of sword?

Rapier?
Scimitar?
Foil?
Claymore?
Broadsword?
Katana?

The choices....

But yeah, might be a fun addition to have. :) Purely cosmetic, doesn't effect gameplay, just acts as a bragging right.

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

No, actually, the point was to expand on game play elements in new ways. Go look up EVE online Ambulation on youtube. That is what WiS should of been, but it was scrapped in one fo the WoD scraps and changed to the crap we have now.

This is due to a) very few players use the forums, so they can;t tell how many may want WiS. b) the summer of rage, which was a combination of things scared CCP, and gave WiS a stigma. c) CCP rightly so decided to fix the core of eve, but i think its time to take a second look at expanding gameplay and tying eve, valk, and legion together via the CQ.

Sorry stopping derailing. 1000000+ yes a great sword would be rad

I'd settle for the sword as a patch on the side of my ships.
