Ok, so we all know that the captians quarters is a oversized doll house (except the customization), what i propose is to allow us to "hack" into other players quarters and then kill them (something like in the dust 514 trailer) in which you effectively pod said person giving you GCC (if not a legal kill)

if you pod someone thats not a WT/-10 or such, concord will then storm the room and pod you and such

the player could also defend him self (if entering another players quarters and they see you in it, you get aggression against him) and may kill you

there might be a warning that your quarters is being hacked into (some alert or something) giving the person a chance to escape or log off (being a carebear)

what this does is that it somewhat brings an end to station camps (we all know that feel, where a WT/enemy just stays docked up for ever and goes afk) as you can access their quarters and kill them

another way this might help is that you can also claim bounty (personaly i want spaceship barbies bounty :3)

Edit: also to hack into a players quarters, you will require something like hacking lvl 5 and door hacking lvl 1 which improves hacking time by 5% per lvl or something

But that would throw out the "Only safe place in EVE is docked up in a station" rule. I guess we could modify it to "Only safe place in EVE is logged out."

But of course, someone will eventually ask for a tool or skill to kill logged out players too.

I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license.

well it adds to how eve is not safe, no matter where you are and makes use of something that CCP decided to abandon for the moment and ends the long boring station camps as well

Station camping does bore me out of my skull, so I'd welcome anything that would dock PVP into stations.
However, some people's (including me, up until recently) computers barely handle captain's quarters which forces them to use the ship hangar view (carousel FTW).

Sadly, your idea would force people into the CQ.

I think it'd be awesome if they'd just use the DUST engine for WIS.

And make it so DUST mercenaries could fight in station. Third RF, boarding ship full of mercenaries attaches to space station, fights mercenaries on other side in station.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...

hmm, true to that extent i guess, i tried to keep out the idea of staying in the hanger view cause then people would just stay out of the CQ to avoid this.

i would just love to be able to go into others CQ to kill them, like that dust 514 trailer.

all we need is a way for the CQ not to draw as much resources so lower-end systems could support this idea
