Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Time for CCP to remove the CQ untill if/when it has some form of function.

As is it just causes too much confusion/drama/false hope.

Close it, burn it, (in Gordon Ramsay's voice)SHUT IT DOWN!

Send me an email when it's ready and live.

Integrate my Battle-Player idea.

Make it possible to stream the Alliance Tournament to the screen in Captains Quarters.

Add a full-screen option for watching it.

Let me sit on my couch.

And replace the movement controls with something more standard. (Standard for 2012, not 1993.)

edit: and add the ability to zoom all the way in to first person view. I don't want to be in first person all the time, but it'd be nice for looking at all those screens and panels.

One thing I would love is for corporations and alliances that have offices in station be able to have an office and conference room. Anything that could improve the use of having avatars gather in a single location to communicate and make plans would be great and make WIS better. At the very least, be able to invite a limited number of people into your captain quarters.

I would love to play "Sec Wars" in my CQ.

Alright, in regards to the CQ. It looks beautiful. Myself personally, I rarely use it, it's eye candy, nothing more. However, like everyone before this post has stated. Added functionality would be great, even phenomenal! Switching stations would be a plus. More interaction than just sitting and walking around. The biggest thing is. We the players, would like it to be useful, it's understandable that it's only a partial release of a vision CCP has. Please, for the love of EVE, spend some time to make some minor patches to the system to make it useful. Maybe even switch to an interaction based system while in CQ. Where you NEED to interact with the different displays, and when you are, the cam zooms in and that's the setup you use. If your a ship hermit, use the old style and stay in the nasty looking green gel. BTW, why is it green? *shudders* Anyways, there are tons of games who use a housing system of one type or another. Maybe even make player owned stations a little easier to obtain and use, a game that did something like this was, Jumpgate, of course to not the extent that they used. Alright, I'm rambling now, I could go on and on. The point we're all trying to make, we want more interaction and customizable stuff. Your quarts, is your darn house, think on it :P

I would like to see a lounge for corp, fleet, alliance, etc. Something small scale beyond "the door."

If I'm just adjusting the orders, producing, changing skills, or fitting a ship then this would be interesting. Having something to watch would be cool too, and I don't mean TV. Artwork, performances, something like the eary sketches showed (e.g. the anti-gravity dancers).

Hey, you either get board of spinning your ship or staring at pilots. I would rather be able to switch it up.

Well, the obvious answer, of course, is an arena where my humanoid commodities can be forced to fight each other. My Exotic Dancer, male can warm up on some Tourists before going toe to toe with some slaves, and if he survives that he can take a shot at the reigning champ, a Group of Homeless. It can be a fun little mini game, like pokemon but with blood, and if fellow players can bet on the contests, so much the better.

+1 This.

I don't have to see ship tags or pilots on this view, but a screen showing me all the ships outside would help the immersion factor. Hell, make it a real window?

I'd get a kick seeing the ships outside fight too. Maybe add a kitchen and bathroom to the suite? I'd like to be able to make snacks while watching folks parked outside.

[quote=Borg Stoneson]The thing I'd like to see most of all is customization, right now captains quarters mean nothing to me, they are my quarters simply because you tell me they are, there is nothing of me there, it's something new and shiny that I spent maybe 10min looking at, then I turned it off.

My hanger in Jita feels more like home to me then the quarters, the items I have stored there represent who I am, where I have been and what I have done, from my can of old never used ammo looted in my mission running days to my hoard of exotic dancers, the stack of offensive subsystems for the legion (a ship I can't fly) to my personal collection of T2 Purpetual Motion units. That is home, these are my things. In contrast the captains quarters are like a hotel rooms, or staying around someone elses house, interesting to look at, but ultimatly something that belongs to someone else. Not mine.



I have to agree with this completly. I like my ship more because I fly my ship more. I would like to see stuff available for the CQ. I would like it to cost ISK and $$$. Maybe add some custom options for ships too. Maybe just in the short term paying for some color "packs" already present on other ships to be made available for lower tierd ships. For example, buying the Khanid color scheme seen on the curse and sacrilage being made available to 1, 2, or all T1 ships for amarr... maybe just make the colors available in a ship customisation tool built like the custom avatar tool, only applying exclusively to colors.
This setup, especially when you charge ISK or $$$ from paypal, WILL make a ton of money. Just look at the sony store for eveything FPS.
The point is the game essentially works very well. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot needing fixing. I would really like to see this happen.
