EVE General Discussion

-It does, it ensures that people who aren't too lazy to hit the refresh key have an advantage over those who are.
-Why? Are you proposing a shuttle bay, or that all ships get enough cargo space to haul a repackaged shuttle?
-No. Ammo takes like no space anyway.
-This isn't half bad of an idea.
-It's called the corp chat MOTD.
-No. If it can be changed then people will switch it when it suits them, and then it's just a blanket buff. If it can't then it locks corps into what they're doing, and that's bad because corps should be able to change. What if my hisec indy corp decides to move to nullsec and do some PvP?
-lul. The loot that highsec and lowsec pirates get is influenced by the amount of stuff people carry. And there is risk, if I'm mid-gank and the freighter's Falcon alt decloaks I might lose all my catalysts/taloses/bombers and get stuck in station for 15 minutes with nothing to show for it. Furthermore, what stops me from doing the same in lowsec with a bunch of cheap catalysts anyway? Sure I might get shot back at, but CONCORD guarantees I lose all my ships anyway in hisec.
-Oh, that won't be abused/be a pain in the ass to code.
-I would like to see a bit more of the inside of the station.

Why would I need a shuttle? I mean I like having one but I usually trash them or leave them wherever when I go back to my ship, I don't like making multiple trips so anywhere i go in a shuttle means I need to turn around and go back to get back in a real ship and continue what im doing. Plus shuttles have limited cargo space so going quickly to buy drones or restock doesn't work cause it's only 10m3. They'd have to buff it to 50-100m3 or something to be useful enough to go buy drones or whatever.
I'm not against the idea, I've thought that before myself but the uses seem extremely limited and i discard the idea immediately. I'd mostly just want it to have it even if I don't need it. If i can send it remotely to pick something small up for me sure. But generally I can't only fly one ship and there's no reason for me to have a shuttle cause I'd be leaving my normal ship behind and im just gonna go back for it. But thematically i feel every space ship in sci-fi settings usually have shuttles/escape pods and whatnot for various purposes assuming they're big enough.
No to anything smaller than cruisers having them where would they put them. On a bs or up sure I can see them having a shuttle bay. But we use capsules anyway, just give capsules 10m3 cargo and 500m/s and boom it's a captain's shuttle.
(On a side note that angers me greatly, they spent all that time revamping explosions that lag me out of im zoomed in, but they don't even have escape pods shooting out of the ship before it blows up. When the animation starts their should have been little escape pod rocket flares seconds before it goes boom, these are still manned ships with crews)

For cargo hold I'd rather have customizable cargo, drones have a small settings tab for aggresive/passive. I say out a settings box like that in the cargo and be able to create sections, name them and decide how much of my total cargo space is allocated to that.
Gnosis has 900m3 and is what I'm generally flying.
5-10m3 for ammo
I would make a 150m3 tab named deployable for my mtu and depot.
Exploration tab big enough to hold my modules when i switch fits and everything else would be a junk/loot tab.
They can either be separate tabs like chat Windows or all in one, and separated by horizontal dividers and you can put them in any order like the skill queue by dragging them vertically and they're collapsible. once you drag a module manually to a tab it will snap back to that tab, scooping an mtu for example. It snaps back to the deployable section, if i dont drag it it goes to undesignated cargo space. I don't know how hard that would be to program but i assume some sort of script that activates when you make a section and if you drag an item to that section whenever something is removed or added to cargo a cargo filter will screen out all items in the undesignated default cargo space for x amount of x item and move it automatically to the right slot but i don't know how the cargo would be made to remember. Would you save it manually like an overvoew or have it reset everytime you log out.

I'm fine with the scanner and market ideas. It would be best to make the directional scanner a little sonar box you could pin and it just swirls around constantly and pings you if something specific pops up you have filtered maybe.

But this thread will be moved to features and ideas.

As long as I'm breathing walking in stations isnt dead kupo.
Alternatively as long as star citizen is in anyone's memory it isn't dead. Half the fun of having a spaceship is being able to disembark and go explore stuff/asteroids/ruins in a space suit or walk around inside my ship and **** off with my crew of exotic male dancers

Did you really need to quote his entire post, just to respond to five words in it near the end?

Seems pretty stupid and pointless to include all the stuff that is already on the same page, that isn't even relevant to what you want to say.

As to WiS not being dead, hahahaha. Show us all that functionality that you are going to keep alive.

Mostly bad ideas.

Not empty-quoting.

Honestly, if CCP finally implemented WiS I don't think more than half the playerbase would ever undock.

The only idea here that I really give my support of is the walking in stations.

I've actually wondered that too, why not have a separate hold for ammo (not sure about charges).

There is no need for this. If you want to make ganking less attractive stop being a Bad™ and over stuffing your freighter. Seriously, stop taking on so much risk like a dingbat.
