Greetings people.

I was wondering what ideas you have in making the ships a little more interactive?

I think it would be great if for example, when you target a ship a little hologram of the ship would appear and the ships computer would tell you the stats and general purpose of that ship class.

But not just ships, everything you target. Stargates, roid belts, wormholes and so on. Your ship computer's 'consciousness' is transferred with you when you get podded or something.

Your ship computer can gain a certain personality throughout your eve career etc. etc. etc.

But...how can it show you the ship's stats when those are entirely dependant on the fittings and the skills of the pilot?

How can the ship have a "consciousness" when you basically are the ship? (see: you're jacked in via neural uplink and move the ship around like an extension of your own body)

How did you Veterans start?

You mean you don't talk to the voices in your head?

Nice eye candy idea but do we really need more lag inducing UI additions?

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

Seeing the responses in this thread reminds me of how there's hope for the human race.

OP Should probably read the lore.

Ship wouldnt gain a "personality", AURA is used for everything having to do with capsuleers.

on that note, why would capsuleer ships have an AI onboard? since a capsuleer has basically become HAL 9000 with a little extra murder-sauce.
