Real time, or close to real time, map movement statistics to see where enemy fleets are going that can have notes or markers placed on them in the board room by a ceo while the deployed fleet gets it via transmission by some HUD thingy.

Blue marker means head here.
Red marker means GTFO DAT SYSTEM OH GOD T3 BLOB OGODOGOD.

You don't want it to be too easy. I'd say at most you'd want scouts in system to report back information from the local channel - if you have a fleet member in that system, then number of pilots tota, the number of reds/neutrals/blue and the number of active cynos is automatically relayed back and shown on the FC star map. When the scout leaves system, that information stops being updated.

It should be very top-level and strategic, lacking in details like ship types, names, corps etc, but allowing an at-a-glance overview of what's going on in the surrounding systems provided you have "eyes on the ground" as it were.

Maybe include scout tagging, so a cloaky scout can be like "suspected cyno vessel" or "Enemy titan" and that appears on the stratmap too.

WiS supporters: Please CCP just give us one more room or at least something more than the door, something simple, its been two years.

Will bumping be allowed in WiS? I predict a goon-lead 'humpageddon', involving miners being trapped into a corner by people mashing the 'hop' key or similar.

I want to go into a station, sit down at a bar, drink some rum, play Poker with other pilots(using ISK), and snort illegal drugs off a female dancer's bum in the bathroom.

I find it shocking that walking in stations hasn't been implemented yet.

CCP have such a sterling history of following through on things...

All I want is that 'fleet commander' map they talked about so much before Incarna released.

Edit: a social area with gambling games like poker and slay would get a lot of use I feel.

Absolutely would. Given how popular the useless for pew pew vanity items are (some monocles selling at 30 billion isk or a few hundred dollars worth of plex) it's obvious people care about what their little portraits look like.

If there were internal spaces and the ability to walk around and interact CCP would make a fortune off it. The popularity of gambling isk should also not be overlooked. It should be happening in game through CCP oversight not out of game through dodgy Somerlike websites.

Only need to look at games like Gary's Mod to see how popular socializing in simulated PvP environments is.

I do not want this thread closed, as the question still stands and until CCP reply there is no reason to close it based on people anti-WiS calling for the thread to be closed.

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

They don't like being faced with the truth. They would prefer to continue thinking WIS was the reason for the Summer of Nerdrage.

This thread may have worn out its welcome with some people, but the fact it is this big in such a short time shows the amount of support walking in stations content has among players and also shows to what lengths detractors will go to try and keep WiS out of EVE.

So the question is. Does CCP know about the support WiS has and would they act on it?

So detractors are trying to get this thread closed in much the same spirit detractors of WIS content acted before and during Incarna. Fair enough, but who will the powers that be listen to?

People unsubscribing doesn't communicate anything other than "I'm leaving".

"I would prefer for the CQ to be optional" and "please give us the old weapon icons back" were communicated on forums, and that's the stuff that they went ahead and did. They didn't get that information by intuiting it, but by actually taking on board what the community was discussing. If they had intuited it, then those mistakes would never have been made in the first place.

Two years ago people mass unsubbed. You believe they should have just kept talking?

Personally, if they gave me more crap to customise my CQ with, I might actually spend some time there.

I love my clothes! There are restrictions within the character posing room I believe should be lifted. Like... I want to see m full body!

I would be very surprised if they move forward with WiS anytime soon. To get us walking in a closet took them 100% of their Eve focus for way too long. The graphic quality of what they release was fine, but they lost focus, took all their resources, melted GPU's, etc. Can you imagine walking in Jita with 2000 other pilots. I don't see it any time soon.

Plus, CCP just announced the layoffs with WoD (a game that I imagine would actually use lots WiS technology)

Please move this offtopic discussion to another thread and stop trying to derail/get ISD to lock this one.

Moving on, aside from war rooms, does anyone have feasible ideas for implementing say, EVA avatar gameplay compatible with the current server ticks?
