Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So for the last few years CCP has maintained that they are concentrating on FiS (Flying in Space) rather than on the admitted abortion that was the WoD Beta referred to as Captains Quarters.

Kudos for focusing on your core constituency!

Curiosity remains however on my part as to what has been going on with WiS in the following time.

Are we saving improvements for after new structures?
Implications:

• Players can walk inside their new shiny starbases and presumably outposts?

Have CCP employees been receiving education in engine building for an FPS/RPG like mode a la Mass Effect?

Or if nothing is even on the back burner for WiS why not just remove the feature altogether? Disentangle it from the client and code base entirely and improve client storage footprint. Avoid systems bumping into each other and just integrate the useful WiS functions in the existing FiS UI like Corporation and Agent Searching.

I don't particularly care for the WiS mode due to lack of exploration and 0 meaningful game play. If there are initiatives still in-play but not prioritized I would still like to know what CCP or people at CCP are doing (in their free time as well) in regards to this.

Thank you.

Character creator is fine and thanks for no information

There is 2 little things that would be really be cool and need very few time to be done :

• Be able to see the open capsule from closer, because why not dammit.


• be able to enter just one room in a little hallway outisde of our quarter with a room filled with the npc agents in the station, with a contextual menu to talk to them.

For everything else, this can wait a looooong time.

I was under the impression the WoD talent that made WiS happen are no longer around.

If we are to be locked in a small room like this for the foreseeable future, can we get some drugs at least?

It is morally reprehensible to leave us like this without any intoxicants available.

My best guess is that WIS as far as Eve goes is mostly dead for now. What likely is happening and why so much is being spent in R&D is because they are using DUST and Legion as their outlet for WIS. They will likely create assets for the Eve players and maps that represent some of those assets for DUST/Legion players to fight for control of.

Basically DUST/Legion = WIS

They seem to have shown a lot of promo material lately showing a Dust clone, a valk clone and a capsuleer in the same space, I don't think that's just coincidence.

Think about how many new players this would bring into the game!

There's a Captains Quarters?
