Walking in Stations
CCP_t0rfifrans has given us a glimpse at the upcoming “Apocrypha 1.5″ patch due to reach us this August. New smaller cheaper rigs, level 4 epic mission arcs, and loyalty points for factional warfare are all in store for us. We also receive some notes regarding this winter’s upcoming expansion. One thing we won’t be seeing, however, is the ability to get out of your ship and walk around a station. This has been on many players’ wish lists for quite some time now.
“All I can say, is that [the expansion] is focused on sovereignty and you will not be able to walk in it.”
Most of us have spent more time than we care to admit customizing the look and the personas of our in-game selves. After that, though, we’ve grown accustomed to an occasional glimpse at a thumbnail sized portrait as we cruise around New Eden in our ships. With all there is to do and experience in EvE, do we really need the addition of a glorified chatroom?
Do you think the addition of purely social features is a worthwhile venture, or do you believe that CCP would best serve us utilizing all their resources to improve and build upon the meat n’ potatoes of what makes EvE such a great game in the first place?
