Hey CCP, just noticed the in-station traffice in the 6-CZ49 station. Uber cool. Cool Nice workBear

Is the degree of traffic linked to any of the station or system guest count?

It could do with being a real mix though, having only the friendly factions in each station is a bit weird, especially considering we as Capsuleers fly all sorts of ships into all stations.

Linking the level of traffic in the station hangar to the system's real traffic would also be very nice. It is a bit jarring to see a huge amount of activity in the hangar, with only one person in local. Then again, lore-wise I suspect that capsuleer ships are programmed to ignore non-capsuleer ships, to the point where our camera drones don't even register them, so maybe that seemingly-empty system is actually filled with non-capsuleer ships going about their business.

There are variations, I've seen Tempests in Gallente stations and Megathrons in Amarr ones.

Station traffic looks very nice. I'd still like to see smaller vehicles buzzing around closer to the docking platform just to heighten the effect though.

I hope that the CQ balcony is facing the corridors with the ship traffic.

Also, put some holographic billboards in there! I don't care if it just shows what's on your CQ monitors. The more life, the better.

And give station skins faction color variations so we know when we're in pirate stations. Big smile

Seriously CCP. When are you going to let us use Billboards as a recruitment tool (for isk).

And why dont we see billboards all over the place, espeically in Caldari and Gallente stations, being as that they are the most capitalistic of all the empires.

Do you guys plan to add billboards to the outside of stations? It would be a great graphical improvement.

Traffic is awesome Cool but yeah it could be even more live on stations:
- holo-billboards
- some elevators going here and there
- cranes moving stuff
- pipes releasing smoke etc

Hmm. I will have to sit and watch a little longer. From what I had seen it looked like it was station race + ally.

I haven't seen any station outside of the 6Z and PV systems yet (minmatar and Gallente), but have seen some Mallers and Rokh flying by it those.

Oh i would so love to see them change it so there are random npc non agressable ships flying around, using stargates, docking and undocking from stations. the system security level determines ship types, and system population determines quantity. Oh the fun listening to scouts on TS "gate fire...oh wait, its an NPC"

Why not add billboards INSIDE the station?

Back in release in 2003 there were several interior layouts to each station/race. I remember the Gallante had a really nice cosmopolitan, open docking layout with billboards, streaming advertisements, and bustling capitalistic atmosphere.

For some reason CCP decided to get rid of them a long while back, why I'm not sure. Kindof wish that they hadn't because it was some nice eye-candy.

For reference, old Gallente station interior:

In all seriousness, allowing corporations and alliances to rent out in-station billboards for ISK would be awesome, increasing immersiveness while removing ISK from the game economy. The content would have to be approved by CCP in advance, considering the mentality of some of the EVE player base.

Freighters and indy ships in the station traffic please!Bear

I seem to recall seeing other images of old Gallente station interiors, notably one including a much larger hologram of a rather attractive woman bent over with her panties halfway down her legs.
