I think that something like this would be awesome, would add loads of more things to do.

now I don't mean like pong or crap although some like that would be cool, I mean this far in human history with ships having computers that are millions of times faster than what we use to fly them (our computers ha ha ha) you would think that someone would have "hacked" some ships mainframes to allow them to play mini games on their HUD when they are on autopilot on 50+ jumps, you can play snake on a holographic HUD, lol


but anyways, my real idea would be to have station games, like different faction stations have different games / types, some may have simulations, like the navy plants, where you can "simulate" using your ship/fitting, to fight off increasing hoards of zombies... I mean NPC pirates or something, where it just gets harder and harder, lose your ship you don't lose anything, BUT there aren't any rewards except for hi scores perhaps, or allow wagers on team fights, that would be cool.

perhaps other mini games, or like two or more people enter an arena basically a small "system" that no one else is in, and they fight each other, or capture the flag or something. but the ships are not real so they don't actually lose anything

maybe this sounds corny but a game like this, evolving, means having to add new feature, not just few new items, or graphical changes, but but new ideas entirely,

I believe this kind of thing would probably take ALOT of new coding or design, but maybe not as much as I think.



maybe none military stations could have "lobbies"

instead of docking and being in captains quarters, you can leave CQ's and actually move around with others in the station, or different parts of the station cus I know some like jita may have way too many people lol, but similar to things like the PlayStation home, more interaction with players


idk what you all think, I think I may be on to at least something lol


---edit---


oh and FPV on the ships would be cool as hell too, like cockpit view, but that may be more novelty, or lame lol

This has been suggested a few times. Have a look in the stickied WiS thread.
Casino's and other 'arcades' have been suggested as well.

Still gets a +1 though, as its something I really want to see.
