Assembly Hall

I write this complaint every few months.

The gate "jump tunnel" effect which replaced a pause and "loading" message, made a nice fanfest demo, its cool the first few times, but taking over player camera to ram us thru gates gets annoying very quickly. This is primarily a 3rd person spaceflight game, this first-person visual effect is disruptive. I do most of my long-distance traveling on the map screen.

CSM please advocate for / CCP please rework the gate jump effect, so that camera takeover isn't necessary, or at least add an option to disable the forced camera move.


Player acquisition - NPE

I think certain information, such as NPE stuff, on the official WIKI should be CCP's responsibility:

Go to the main page and click "Getting Started"
Takes you to "Category:New Player Experience"
Click on: The User Interface
Note: Old neocom buttons and overview icons. Ship status panel doesn't have info on sensor overlay.

I think the "official manual" should be updated, by feature teams, when they make a change.

We're going with ideas, but the core is to see what ccp tells us. If that makes sense?


We're constantly talking with CCP about how we're finding things, and where we think work is needed. It's probably more than a touch irritating for them

As expected, thank you.

Good luck and many fruitfull discussions on summit for all CCP and CSM members.

I think CCP (Greyscale?) has wanted to replace it with something that requires more player activity. I don't think scanning moons every few months and moving to new ones (POS sieges to displace current occupants) is enough.

I really like Planetary Industry; moons could use a similar mechanic. (But please not a carbon copy, e.g., I believe data site hacking should not be identical to relic site hacking.) PI requires players in space, making pickups at a fixed location. Income increases with player activity, not just because the planet is good.

Thanks to those CSM members that keep us informed of the Summit

PS: will edit when new updates come

Would it be possible to have hidden data/relic sites? Similar to how it was before where they don't immediately show up in your probing window, but instead must be scanned for to find them?

I'm not saying to change them all but add other ones that don't appear by default and are harder to scan down like the limited sleeper sites etc.

Also the payout on the data sites really needs to be looked into, they are typically just not worth the time.

It is still very condensed from what happened. There were some NDA things in pretty much every meeting, and those just got excised, with a little editing to have other lines make sense without them. And side conversations weren't there. Or some comments. But to go actual word for word would be very time consuming.

They get the gist of things, at least.

SLAP D:

Updated the OP, sorry about that!

I would like to focus on the point of attribute removal and the corresponding implants.

From reading the minutes, it seems the problem has to do with what mission runners use their LP for.
I spoke on this in a few other post before, and imo these are the steps needed to be taken to fix the issue

1: Rework the LP stores
1a: Government/Navy LP provide the BPCs for items
1b: The other faction LP stores provide items used in the development of those BPCs.
1c: None-Government LP stores could also have BPCs that have "experimental" ships/modules"

Every NPC Corp has a history based in the lore - the ship descriptions sometimes point at these, and I believe it is those traits that should be developed on to give unique flavor to some ship hulls.

Say a Roden Ship Yard Vexor - would be like an armor version of the gila, but strong missiles vs drones.
Maybe even figure out a way that when a Corporate ship hull is fitted with that corporations "experimental" modules it makes them stronger. This would lead to some really juicy kill mails.

I will try to add more once I have a real keyboard.

Really disappointed to learn that there are plans to remove the In-Game Browser. It has massive utility for a lot of players and would be a huge Quality of Life backwards step.

Foxfour's comment on not being poor and buy another monitor or just play windowed is hardly appropriate either. Not everyone CAN do those things and not everyone wants to, or should have to do those things. I thought the whole point was playing how you wanted to play and CCP were big on espousing that philosophy? Removing the Browser and saying deal with it isn't living up to that.

If anything I'd like to see the In-Game Browser become more feature-rich, let alone removed. The wormholing sites would be a massive hassle without the IGB, dotlan and others.
