Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I know that most people don't care about Captain's Quarters, mainly because the game takes longer to load when docking in a station. I'm also aware that a large number of hardcore players don't care about Captain's Quarters at all, but some of us do.

In any case, I do like Captain's Quarters. It's what I wanted ever since I started playing the game 6 years ago. Being a Freelancer fan, I just wanted to be able and see my character in a station / space bar or whatever. Captain's Quarters is good enough for that, even though future development is on hold for reasons we're all aware about.


But without rambling about that any further, this thread is some sort of request. I'd really like to use Captain's Quarters but the main and only reason I don't , is because I really don't like my character's spawn location. If I want to see my spaceship, I go into the ship hangar. What I'd like (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) is to have the option of spawning on the couch. I really like those interactive monitors and holograms, and they give some interesting information.

I know it's logical to spawn near the pod, but I just don't see anything entertaining there. Whereas docking, unloading your cargo, selling loot, checking the market and all that feels like a more immersive experience if you do it from in front of those monitors.

The point is, there is no real reason to interact with your character (move your character around) . That said, I just don't want to move my character around at all. I just want to him to always be in the right place and see him looking all cool on a couch with a can of Quaffe in proximity, checking the news, market, etc. Like an actual good alternative, 3D station menu / screen.


I know that some players will say that "There are bigger issues to take care of", a phrase that has become a huge cliche said by people that don't know how developing something works, so don't! If something this small is being developed, it's not going to require the entire CCP team.

I'm sure that I'm not alone in this matter. I also think that implementing an option to spawn on the couch shouldn't take a lot of work, and I think it's worth it.

If you're among those who want this optional spawn point to be implemented, please support this thread.

Kind regards,
