The feeling of driving your ship...

When you play this game you are a character - a ship.
Certain ships changes size, but for you is it always the same, but with different modules...

I was thinking that instead of the feeling of driving a character; Why don't you create this feeling of being a captain of the ship? The feeling of being a leader of a crew. Recruit your crew or even get to interact with them. Use them as bonuses or something.

A ship goes ''boom''; You're in a pod and then warps for safe. Thats it really...

A ship is about to go ''boom''; Red lights & warnings, you see pods are being shut out of your ship. When your ship is in the process of ''boom'' the captain pods out. You lost your dear ship and your crew. You might even see some crew members being sucked out in space etc etc...

^That for example could be added and still keep the same time from boom to pod to warp. But gives you this feeling for being a captain instead of being a ship.

You, as a capsuleer, have become the ship. There is no crew; there is no need for a crew. The vessels system are your organs and its ....

I could get poetic but I am not feelin' it. You're a transhumanist cyborg who has physically and mentally fused with a pod, a pod that controls a ship.

Anyways I'd hate to lose my crew every time I sacrifice a rifter for the lulz.

You don't really. Maybe a few men. Here's the chart.

New Eden Crew guidelines

One idea that was floated some time ago would be that "rigs" would be replaced by "crews."
Same effects. Same slots. Same size limitations. Just change the icons, names, and descriptions. The only thing that really stopped discussion of the idea was the understanding that it would require a total revamp of how rigs would be made and their "components" harvested.

How did you Veterans start?
