Apparently if you have the golden pod implant from the collectors edition and use the captain quarters view. The pod remains green. A dev had confirmed that this is intentional.

I don't think this is fair. Mainly because I didn't pay for a half done job.

Secondly, where is CCPs attention to detail. This is meant to be part of the 10 year celebration. Where is the pride in their product?

Or is it an intentional reminder of CCPs ability to leave a job half done.

According to the EvE lore, the pod remaining green is a station security feature. As the golden pod is so valuable, when it exits your ship, you are immediately transfered to a standard pod, while your golden pod is vaulted. This prevents scuffing of your golden pod due to wearing against the railings of the captains' quarters. More importantly, when WiS in implemented 17.5 years from now, this substitution prevents thieves from breaking into your CQ and hijacking your golden pod.

Maybe it just doesn't have the golden sheen when interacting with artifical light because space magic?

Supported. CCP need to know that people shouldn't have to accept **** like this. If they wanted to sell us a half baked product they should have said so when they advertised it.

This would be like the arm tattoos only appearing on your avatar but not in your CQ. CCP really have become experts at managing to **** off a lot of people, all the time.

How came customers don't get what they paid for? Shocked

Golden pod is the golden pod, make it golden anywhere. I don't eat half baked bread, or half roasted chicken, hell i don't even go half way to the job to work there.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Just want to remind you that what you see wihtin your pod is a interface, not the real world. Thus you can see as golden what it's still military green in reality, much as you see lasers and listen to sounds in the void of space. Cool

(posted in the test server section too)

Seems to come with a general lack of concern from the devs for CQ and WiS after the outlash following Incarna, focus just seems elsewhere.

Yet, with enough support, I'm sure players can get them to care more about CQ and WiS again.

We have a topic going in the ideas section of the forums about this, located here.

Kicking this can farther down the road.

150 dollars, and the person can't get there shiny new pod to show up in a station?

That is... really not right.

The Golden Pod is included on the EVE: The Second Decade Collector's Edition, and guess what, it works as advertised, your Pod is Golden on EvE mmo-rpg game.

Try this, press "Enter Ship Hangar", it's should do the trick.

I agree, it'd be nice if the pod was golden everywhere. I'd even be willing to trade in the spin-o-meter for seeing the golden pod when i lean over the railing on the balcony

It's frustrating.

Is CCP completely unable to ship any kind of complete product?

This is not an unrealistic expectation.

CSM?

...and all through the Eve universe, barely any cares were given.

I'd like to thank the art department for concentrating on things that will benefit all of the Eve community, rather than redesigning the CQ that hardly anyone uses.


Anyway as you can see from this thread -

Dev comment on golden pod in CQ

Its that way 'by design', so you did get a complete product.

25% of EVE players use the CQ according to previous CSM minutes.

Please don't let that stop you from continuing to be ******.

I can't believe I got censored for calling you an "enquiring mind" ... Guess CCP doesn't like them.

There's a reason for that high number of players using CQ, by default new players have the incarna station environment activated, that's the main problem, CCP unfortunately forgot to change the default settings on the client. Most players don't even know they can remove incarna from the game completely, that's always the first tip i give to new players starting EvE Online, remove the deficient incarna CQ.

So if CCP someday changes the default CQ load options, the number of players using CQ would be negligible.

The CQ was taken out of the NPE ages ago.

The fact that players use it despite its lack of gameplay speaks to the fact that players want it.
