Dollies in a box

Background:

CCP, the makers of the Space Pirates game called Eve-Online, A multiplayer on line dungeon type game, has decided to make some changes to one aspect of the presentation of the game.

While the player, or capsuleer is not in Outer Space, they are docked in a station. Here they can modify their ship, change it altogether, repair it, manufacture weapons or ships from blueprints and complete a whole manner of other tasks.

The only time players interact with other players is in the playing environment with players in ships, shooting at other players in ships.

CCP have decided to update part of that experience with the docked scenario now appearing as though the capusuleer was in a room called the Captains Quarters. It amazes me how many EvE-Online Players assume they will be able to interact with other players, have a digital beer with their digital room mate and enjoy the corporate company of a young lady in digital sexual space, I mean Cyber Space.


CCP's forum has threads galore on player ideas and suggestions, yet with this release, many players are using the thread to typify what they want to see in the release, rather than acknowledging CCP's release as is.

You can follow the thread here:  http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1469548&page=24

CCP have made a business decision and they will stick to it, the opportune cost is too high for them to change their minds or alter it midstream.

There are threads for people to express their ideas on what they would like to see, or what they would not like to see. This thread is to discuss the OP stating that CCP are introducing vague specifics regarding a change of appearance for the time when you are docked. Nothing about inventing Jumping, Bars, Double beds, Walking PVP, pictures or customization of any kind. Please, address your concept idea's to the right thread.

This thread is to acknowledge CCP's intention to spend developer time creating space dollies that can walk around a single room in a station. Nothing about personalising it, or having friends come over for a beer, or a private lap dancer.

It will be one room, identical to everyone for that race, ie, there will be four rooms per station but each of us will only see ourselves in the one room applicable to our race, and the ship we see from our balcony will be the one currently selected. You wont see approaching pvp, other people, sexy girlies or anything you don't see currently when docked. If you like, it will be a different GUI to click on selections to do stuff, like market, repair, manufacture etc. It will be nothing more or less than what we have now, but a different screen view and it will be called Captains Quarters. You are not getting a room in a Motel to do with as you please, or a private apartment, or a suite with gym attached, mezzanine and corporate meeting rooms, you are simply getting a different perspective on the one you enjoy at the moment.

Think of the logistics of every player having their own quarters on every station! The mind boggles.

Get a grip people, comment on CCP's simple offering, not what YOU think YOU should have, that belongs in another thread.
