You could smoke in Metal Gear Solid. Duke Nukem smoked. We can carry cigs around in our cargo but...

When they release Walking In Stations /Virtual Realilty can our toons smoke? I think it would add immersion. U?

It'll start with smoking.
It'll end with the stuff I see on Twitter when I'm saying to myself "Dear God why did I click on that?".

Somehow I'm struggling to find the remotest connection between these two games and how they have influenced anything in eve, or frankly, why eve ought to mimic other games.

As for smoking itself, I VERY much hope they keep it out of stations. Why? Smoke particles. Smoke is often a very taxing affect, and considering how little it would add, I hope that CCP doesn't waste their time creating unnecessary server strain

That's a pretty lame reason, they could just add an option in the settings for you to turn it off or on. Or depending on how many players are in station, could increase or decrease the effect... and/or implement an adjustable range/view distance limit for the effect.

When the side effects are worse than the benefits, don't take the pill.

First you'd have to remove the face plate. Second, burning things with fire is very outdated. I see vape happening.

Help, I can't download EVE

My point was that people with high end PCs could turn it on, and the people who can't handle it can just turn it off...
And stations are just basically chat lobbies right? It's not like you need ultra response times for fighting or nothing...

"Shan stubbed his cigarette on the deck, despite the Kapitan’s earlier admonitions about in-station regulations. The old bastard was soft after his years with those paper-pushing Fed Navy pod-wetters, soft as the blubber that hung from him. Besides, with the situation the way it was today, their high and mighty Legionnaire had better things to worry about than a smudge on the platform."

you should gain a sec status loss or suspect flag for such crimes

You can wash windows judging by the "wash me" signs.

I imagine implementing cigarettes might make the server slow, cos you need to do tick by tick - "puff puff puff". Imagine that?

Well, if you get hit by Modal Mega Electron Particle Accelerator I , I'm pretty sure you will be smoking all over the place.

Future tech air scrubbers say yes everyone can smoke.

By eve lore it might even be hrally to smoke.

Would that ruin it for you?

How about vapeing? I want to see a thick cloud at head level so I don't need to see your uglyrics mugs.

Perhaps it is the choice of the owner of the station?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
