Another thing that bugs me is that my ship just floats in station while my avatar just stands there. Where does air and the vacuum of space meet(it shouldn't)? Over there is zero-G and gravity where the avatar is? Can we have a believable dry dock?

Tractor beams and shields/force fields for atmosphere containment and damage control have been with EVE (and several other notable SciFi franchises) for a very long time.

Not sure why people would have a problem with it now.

Not the point. In the game you see tractor beams and shields. You don't see beams holding a ship in place.

Like I said before, It wouldn't hurt my feelings if CCP completely scraped the current ship hangers and redesign them and make the outside match the inside or vice-versea.

I wouldn't however like current tractor beams effects holding my ship in hanger. I think they need a better more subtle art for them overall anyway.

Do you mean visuals showing tractor beams holding your ship in place? I'd rather have a physical dock to my ship. It seems more realistic to me having workers at the docks with cargo, supplies, and other misc.

I want more drone thingies flying around that are casually moving cargo and inspecting and repairing my ship.

Also can be PLEASE have stuff like the 4 hanger videos you put out at fanfest 2011? Animations for our ships changing out or maybe the ship stays in the same place and we move to a different hanger? And even if the ships moving around outside arent player ship can we at least get some fake NPC ones flying around in the corridors between hangers? Maybe the activity can scale with the number of players that are docked.

And for the love of god redesign all of the hangers so that the naglfar can fit properly. I mean god damn, the naglfar has worse clipping issues than most super carriers and they arent even allowed to dock!

Give us bright and open hangers like the current Amarr hanger and the old Gallente hanger with the highways and stuff. Try to keep the layout looking mostly logical with structures that are clearly made for moving cargo to and from ships and docking clamps and stuff....

Pretty much unneccessary to have that effect inside a hanger bay. Most effects, sounds, and visuals in EVE are (according to lore) created by our ships computer to allow the pilot to more intuitively understand what is happening in space outside his ship.

Inside the hanger there is no need for such things.

You seem to like a little less science in your science fiction than most. The tech level assumed by the EvE universe is a little bit beyond requiring a physical dock for most purposes.

Not that there is anything wrong with what you want, and there is always room for more variety.

This.

it's the little things that make the universe seem so much more alive.

That being said it's the little things that are often the most difficult to do as well. Smile

Indeed. Unfortunatly, these are not coming in Retribution, this is a shot that was composited and not representative of any new ingame hangar development.

Would you like new hangars btw?


Heck yeah.

Ok fair enough but then I would think CCP would have a higher "tech level" when showing this destroyer being built.

It's fairly easy to explain that a ship under construction needs a bit more in terms of structure around it than a completed and fully online ship would need in a standard commercial dock... much like today the difference between a normal dock and a dry dock.

Now stop picking nits. Yes that pic is excellent and we could stand to see something similar if possible in certain situations. However if time is going to go into something new for our ships hangers I'd much rather see the back ground traffic shown in the hanger videos.

Do you realize how awesome it would be if you could show these to a friend and say "This is what I actually see going on in game when my character looks out from their balcony."?
