EVE General Discussion

Elite PVP'ist ...

Like these guys did? (the link is another space flight game that "attempted walk-in-stations too") I agree, but that's because I'm a bittervet who still clings to her "it's CCP what do you expect" point of view (it was reinforced about a month ago).

Hello everyone!

Yes I know this is probably a topic that has been beaten to death, but I've done a lot of research on it from other sources and have played a ton of different MMO's and I would just like to make the argument for Walking in Stations and how it could be of benefit to the game. If anyone has any objections feel free to post them, this is a discussion and I'm well aware other people won't share my point of view.

Without rambling on here goes:
1. Creation of content through different forms of player interaction.
This one's pretty obvious. By letting capsuleers roam around in the station they're docked at and interact face-to-face with others opens up an entire can of worms and endless possibilities. Here's a hypothetical situation:
You just docked up in an NPC station after an exciting roam in LS and decide to unwind. You step out of your CQ and walk through the hallways, witnessing other players making small talk or trading with each other in the hallway. You arrive at the local pub/bar/nightclub and order a drink for a few ISK, then sit down at a table watching The Scope from a nearby hanging holopanel. A player who happens to be bored sits down at your table and challenges you to a minigame that you can actually play installed in the table itself for either money (i.e. gambling) or for fun. He beats you, takes some of your ISK and tells you "good game". After that you relax watching the ships belonging to other players undocking and flying close to the station through the window beside you)
This is just an example scenario, but if WiS was ever implemented the sheer amount of new and fun minigames, content and ways to interact with new people you've never met would add a whole new sense of immersion to the game, which brings me to my next point...

2. An All new level of immersion
Being able to walk around and interact with New Eden with your toon would enable the Devs to inject and implement a ton of material from the EVE Lore into the game. I absolutely love the lore behind this game. Its so rich, vast and detailed. I think I read just about all of the EVE Chronicles. And yet there's a level of disconnect from the game itself. Imagine being in an NPC station and seeing Amarrian NPC scholars or priests walking down the halls, Gallente exotic dancers trying to entice you, Minmatar tribesman telling each other myths or Caladari business moguls arguing over how to run their corp. Being able to interact with NPCs like these (which serve to enrich the atmosphere a la Skyrim) and have them explain little tidbits about the empires or other facets of the game's rich sci-fi environment would really immerse those who are more inclined towards the RPing side of things. And yes, even though the NPCs may say the same things over and over again would get repetitive, but for new subs the new players could learn a lot about the history and stories behind New Eden.

3. New ways to manage Corps/Alliances
Imagine the sheer possibilities for corps and alliances WiS would bring. You corp office in station could have strategic planners, market share information on giant holopanels or terminals your toon could walk up to and manage the corp from. It would also provide a place where toons and friends from the same corp could gather together and hang out in a lounge or something, do minigames or simply stand around AFK surrounded by friends and wingmen.

These are just some of the ideas I came up with off the top of my head. If anyone wants to add more or make your arguments against WiS please feel free.

This conversation (both sides) is something that has only ever happened in your head. Don't worry, there are medications for that these days.

im just improvising on the entire debate of the debates on why eve is failing and how WiS removal shall bring forth even more of its failure. Eve is really stinking right now and its going to get worse cause of froggi-sov.

You're confusing me with you. You're the one making up a 100% nonsensical double strawman. I'm the one telling you not to go there.

Not really. Improvisation rests on a basis of reality, adjusted for things you didn't quite foresee — you're just making **** up whole cloth. There's a difference between improvisation and hallucination.

yeah having like jump fatige in a shuttle.

You're either drunk or on drugs. Either way, you are lapsing further and further into abject incoherence. Go to bed and sleep it off and see if you make any sense in the morning.
