Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would like to see a profitability calculator for production and invention as a tool in QC. You should be able to access Corp/Person wallet transactions and market data.
I sounds not right to me that you need external software (Excel) to play EVE efficient as an industrialist.

WINDOWS! We live in space! I want to seeeeee it!

I posted this idea once before, just before Incarna came out, while the Minmatar CQ was still in production. Although it's time to influence the CQs might have already passed, the idea might still have some merit as production of new station environments goes forward:

It would be neat if each of the different races had different methods for developing artificial gravity on their various station types: just as the different races used to have different propulsion types and just as they still have different sensor types.

This idea is purely for flavour, and would help to give each of the race's station environments its own "mood".

For example, Amarr, who have grav based propulsion drives, could simply use high tech gravity generation: producing gravity at will in any direction desired.
The Caldari, so proficient at hydromagnetic physics, could easily use magnetic booting or electrostatic charges to attach citizens to their work environments.
In classic Minmatar fashion, the body and mind must adapt to a more simple, low tech, solution: centripetal force.
The Gallente's more melting pot society would, perhaps, have an amalgam of different approaches pulled in from all sectors.

In this way, Amarrian citadels would be capable of bold, straight lines and Escherian stair ways and crossovers.
Caldari corporate office structures could be modular, perhaps submarine like, and any chosen wall could as easily be a floor, or ceiling.
Rotating vistas, up-curving corridors, and differing levels of gravity (based on distance from rotational center) would define the Matari paradigm. (stanford torus)(O'Neill Cylinder) (the cylinders would be somewhere inside of those big square stations, which, judging by our floating ships, don't have gravity everywhere anyway)
Finally, the Gallente would present with a functional and economic mixture of the various approaches (or perhaps some approach I haven't thought of).

And, of course, every race can have subsections of station that were designed using technology learned or purchased from the other races. This would allow all the previous game-fiction scenarios to be played out without violating continuity and would let Incarna content already designed still be used without starting over.

I'd like the CQ ship hangar to have more detail to it. Rather than having the fitting and ship windows, let me walk up to a console overlooking the ship. Have an overlay come up and relay all the current details pointing directly to the ship itself. If I change a module, play an animation that shows the module changing: a gun being pulled off, afterburners installed, salvager bolted on.

Extend a dock to the cargo bay or drone bay when I load stuff. Have the ship moved out of the hangar and a new one brought in if I change it. Maybe even play a quick animation of a ship being unpackaged or repackaged.

How about some of the players that are docking or undocking move past the hangar doors?

The animations don't have to be super fast or responsive, just indicating that there's actually people working on the ship to do my bidding. That I'm not the only living being in the station.

Ideally, ALL of the menus in the CQ would be enhanced to integrate into the CQ directly, rather than bringing up the traditional windows. Give me a UI that I will miss using when I undock.

I only skimmed the ideas but didn’t see this my first Idea listed....

Idea 1:
I keep clicking on the holograms of my ship near the hanger area and trying to spin it....... I would really like a spin option where you click on the hologram *spin* and your character places a hand over the hologram and spins the ship in the direction of your mouse "full size in the hanger" around.

I loved the old station spin.....now I want to watch it spin from the dock!

Idea 2:
A old school jukebox box in the corner with the plex/battle music as selections. ps add Journey’s “Separate Ways” to it

Idea 3:
Pong on a hand held tablet on the coffee tables.

Idea 4:
An extra big screen with market price graphs (click on to open market).

Idea 5:
"Exotic Dancers" need a home..........I have plenty of space in my CQ

Lot's of good ideas in this thread.

I was thinkiing, how cool will it be when you can walk around in a station, See ships docking, See odd rooms with odd things going on.
Then it hit me, I would love to have a station CAD program to make my own station, Even if no one gets to see it, Even if the Station I create is local to my computer only. I could add a room when i dont feel like doing much else in eve.

Preset floor plans and items to drag and drop into place by CCP. User created space files we could download.
A self envisioned environment.

Can I have a wall to show off a my certificates? Poker table yes, bathroom like the other guy mentioned...I do not know if I should watch my avatar go pee, and if I did would that make me gay... And if I tap on the spacebar more than three timeless does that mean I'm playing with it?!

I am going to go ahead and squeeze THIS in there...yup...there we go.

could be a good idea ,as long it doesn,t give us a "charlie and the chocolate factory" feeling to it
