EVE General Discussion

I know WiC has been brought up before but would there be any community support if CCP gives consideration to dropping project Nova and building the WiS content to be something akin to a ME style shooter?

It seems the most flexible means of putting in shooter game play which you can add on all sorts of exploration and PvE things. Hell if revenue is the issue you could even make it accessible by some sort of plex like "permit". (Damn Caldari and their strict gun laws)

We can only dream

WiS would have been a slightly interesting pretty thing.

CCP are already building a PC shooter

They will stick to Nova.

But having an avatar exploration module in EVE would be freaking avesome.

Imagine meeting someone in station in bar, playing roulette, drinking rum. Then he proposes you a deal, because he dont want to go alone to this site he heard about is in wormhole few systems far. Then you both jump in Asteros, and undock.

You go to this wormhole he have bookmarked, and jump thru.

Then imagine docking in some abandoned wormhole structure, exploring with this guy, but he gets shot by someone else who already was there, docked from diferent point, and he dies and its over for him, his spare clone is dead and he have to undock or he can observe by drone camera what is going on, or he can defend the structure from outside. You shoot the killer, then you shoot some more sleeper drones inside, hack a door and get the treasure worth hundreds of milions, escaping trapped room that starts to shrink, by shooting the security modules on walls in certain order.

Then you buy more fancy exploration suit with all this money in some shop, and then you go to bar with strippers and rum.

Better than Star Citizen!

Together with atmospheric flight, I think WiS is the only true new area of play the game can expand into.

More space that is coming with player built stargates will be great and all, but really just another flavour of what we already have.

I hope CCP put it back on the roadmap at some point, but I'm still happy playing what we have at the moment.

Just when I think about that now, everything what I have wrote earlier about this avatar exploration module, could be used in Nova as a mixed PvE/PvP mode, but the space flight would be presented only with cutscenes. The thing about identyfying sites and their availibility: It would be acquired from capsuleer NPC as missions, and they would spawn the same mission location for many players.

It was a shooter for console. Shooter. For console.


WiS got nothing with Star Trek, with New Eden, with any other crap. It's just a way to gain experience and people interaction.


Oh, c'mon. What happens with your ship when it's docked and you're out of pod? Common sense - use it.

Is docked inside. Invulnerable. And you would use a spare clone installed in exploration bay module in ship.

After death of the spare clone the ship could be moved out of dock.

You would never leave capsule. Your mind would be journeying between clones.

With all those "would be" is one issue, CCP is capable of thinking, but they would need cash. Lots of it.

yes we need more excuses to stay docked in stations
