Any chance you could... Use your new modular system, and allocate a few afternoons to putting together, a proper "Pod Room"?

I've asked a dozen times before probably, as have quite a few others - but now it's official that we're not going to be getting "Establishments" in EVE this Winter, or indeed, any time at all --- Well, not until something's been invented to give them an actual purpose, and make them 'fun' to get involved with.

So, if you're not building "Establishments" for us any more, and now that the CQ's are a hair's breadth from 'finished', how about it?

Sadly, the Establishments feature will not be coming in the winter expansion. We hear you guys loud and clear and realize that there is still strong support for a multiplayer, avatar based experience in EVE (we also hear those that don’t want it). However, we think you’ll agree that it has to be a compelling experience and there was a feeling amongst our people that the direction we were taking with the Establishments feature was… well, not that fun. Additionally, we wanted to ensure that our rendering technology was finely tuned to a point that would ensure all of your characters continued to look great while performing well.

It’s humbling to see the support in this thread for a multiplayer Incarna experience and we are still committed to providing it, as and when it’s ready. We want to take the time to do it right and ensure you guys get something that is both fun and involving. There are no promises about when this will happen, just rest assured that while you are enjoying your space based updates this winter, there will continue to be movement on this.

Improve the CQs would be a nice move at this point.
Also, i would like to see something interactive, usefull, that give a reason to walk 10 meters to get inside your room.

Found this video, it's full of great stuffs, the interactive screen in particular.

Weekday bump to get it off of page 6...

I wrote this at the weekend, so hopefully now that the working-week has arrived; a Dev might see it... :strangerthingshavehappened:

I would like a pod room as well.

And iterating on the CQs would be nice since they're already there. I don't really care for establishments if they don't compliment the core game.

I wouldnt mind the video the team made being used just once (just like the intro movie) when you first get into your CQ.

yeah that one's pretty good. Ideally rework it a little bit so it's your avatar coming out. I wouldn't want it everytime (or just pop in a checkbox in options to enable/disable), but it would look better than just appearing fully clothed.

I've said in a few threads already, that I really think it's about time that CCP updated the game's "Intro" movie. The current one (Dare to be bold, etc.) is pretty good, but it looks very 'dated' compared to the new graphics - and the even older one, which was before my time, was better still; in many ways - but those pod-room cutscenes, etc. could easily be incorporated into a new movie.

I'd just prefer (personally) to see it as an "Intro" rather than a docking cutscene...

or some sort of preconciousness message of aurua trying to wake you up introducing you into the new world as a demi-god which would then fade into the pod 'birthing' scene.

I would like to see something more substantial than the current opened pod down a flight of stairs I can't use. Putting the room down there might be good, assuming that the Incarna engine can handle multiple levels ofc.

The initial concept art they put out, to show the modular concept of their CQ designs hinted at a seperate podroom already - in between the current CQ and the Hangar ramp. I'd like them to go back to that concept.

As for the ladder... If climbing animations are actually ready (they'll have to be, for (before) WoD you'd think...) then I'd (personally) like to see them extend the walkway in some fashion; for getting closer to ships... Hell, it could lead to a fuse box - I just hate the whole pod/stepladder combo.

A small pod-room, no I would call it decantation room would be great.

....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced.

I would settle if I could use my Screen in my CQ to watch youtube movies, or connect to streaming sites.

I know I can modify my video to show specific videos but that is a pile of work to have a looping clip.

I would step off the balcony if I could watch youtube as fleets form up

Doing so would mean they'd probably need to integrate flash video, which would probably then mean the IGB could run flash as well. I fully support this idea and or service!

Could also add a toilet and a shower while they are at it.

I think asking the incarna engine to compete with the 1992 Doom engine is a bit much.

Hiram, now I won't stop thinking about weak slimy human climbing slippery metallic ladder every time CQ loads. Thank you. I would also like decantation room AND so that the big screen cycles through market graphs of items in my Quickbar, rather than showing me current price on Retriever.

Okay, shameless bump...

Now that the news is out; that we've got just 5 days 'til the re-release of Ship Spinning, and (presumably) the new Racial CQ's that T0rfi's blog promised for October, I think this is as good a time as any to ask for some Dev feedback here.

I've already asked a couple of Dev's on twitter, about this - but so far, no bites...

I am beginning to believe that the racial CQ are getting even further delayed, since the news mention only the ship spinning.

Oh, I think it's safe to say that the CQ's will be arriving at the same time. I'd hope a Dev or two would've been quicker to jump in with some damage control by now, if they were'nt...

I have been wrong before, though.
