EVE dev blog talks Incarna 1.1, additional captain's quarters

Scrapping the NEX, doh.

The door image has to be perfection, as it's what most of us are looking at while docked.

@badr The professional bit was just to point out that I have industry experience, a quick method of validating my point.
I can not, however, tell you what studio I work for. NDA is a bitch.

@tidalkraken
Oh the NDA. Well it's ok, I'm a substitute teacher, you can tell me. I won't tell anyone. A substitute teacher is like a game artist. We are not professional teachers yet, just like the game artist isn't a professional game artist yet. So its like we are in the same club, but in different professions and you are professional while I am noobfessional -But other than that we are the same so you can tell me!
I got cookies...

For some reason they went with a console-style control scheme for motion - i.e. A and D instantly turn you 90 degrees to the left/right and walk you in that direction, instead of slowly turning your character more the longer you hold the button down.

This has always bugged me about console games ported to the PC and EVE doesn't even have the excuse that they had to design for a gamepad so I have no idea why they did it. It just makes no sense at all.

@Greymantle You know for me the worst part about all this is that even if I wanted to use it I really couldn't be bothered. You move as slow as a snail and it takes forever to go from the hangar in to the CQ. I love the look once inside but the slow walking makes me turn it off completely.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

@(Unverified) This. The CQ's as they are now aren't expansion-worthy in themselves, but the potential it opened up is nice to think about.

"Door" and "Monocles"

There you go :)

@(Unverified) & @Raikulxox

Amen. A thousand times this. You don't have to be very astute to notice how underwhelming CQ is in its current state, and I'm pretty tired of hearing the hyperbolic 'nobody likes it'/'nobody uses it' nonsense. 'Nobody' is pretending it isn't just one room at this point. Every time I see more QQ posting about how 'fail' CCP is, I wonder how many of these posters 1) have or will ever actually play the game, and 2) have bothered to think about where CQ is going to be in a year. I'm pretty sure that by the time the vision of walking in stations is realized (I'm guessing mid-to-late-2012) all this wailing about how moms everywhere aren't buying new video cards and how it's one room (one room?! one room?!?!) will seem even more trite.

Having said all that, I should add that I'm not in any way defending CCP's PR bungles of late. Just so we're clear. They could have done a better job with that stuff.
