To deal with the jumping & dancing dorks CCP could have npc security forces (or even voluntary player ones maybe like the ISO's in chat) onboard the stations that arrest people for moronic behaviour and force them to leave the station for a set period of time.

There will neither be a /dance emote, nor jumping, in ambulation.
It's "ambulation", not "counter strike in space" ;)

We've received no explanation from Eve as far as what will or won't happen. and no, ambulation doesn't tell us what will and won't be allowed. We will know once eve confirms it, and yes, "pvp  in spaaaaace" could have a huge selling point. Especially if it looked like battle of proxycon in 3dmark05/06.

Even if you can't jump or dance, there are still an infinite number of retarded things people can do...and don't forget the internet f*wad theory: what can be done stupid, will be done.

Yes we did. There have been numerous posts and statements by ccp on why they won't add a /dance emote, why there will be no jumping, and no pvp in ambulation. It's a socializing tool, not ground combat.

Then it's a waste....I socialize via the chat box, as its the main way to communicate with people in the game (not getting into voice, etc). The chat box works no matter if i am in my ship, or walking on foot. So, this is a completely worthless addition, unless it is a prelude to something more involved, LIKE ground/station combat and/or ship boarding, etc.

Course if you have been following the dev interviews etc on this subject you will know why this will be a good addition despite the lack of PvP.

I personally think a game with Eve's ship combat gameplay as well as an FPS inside of it would be the absolute coolest thing ever, literally nothing would compare to how awesome that would be.  Nothing at all ever.

Unfortunately, I believe the majority of people that play Eve are not former FPS players like myself and others on this forum, and as such, putting an FPS feature into the game that would require you to use it or give extra benefits to those who use it over those that don't, wouldn't work and would lose a lot of players that aren't into FPSs.

Though I could see it working as a meaningless way to pass the time while training a skill or something, it would be much much easier to just design a mini-game, which is probably part of the reason they're designing walking in stations in the first place.  Just a place where you can walk around and socialize, and take a break from ship stuff while you wait for a skill to train or something, maybe even have a beer while your character is having one, lol.

Ambulation also does ahve a practical side to it as well. To begine with we are getting player housing. Also the corp offices wil have confrence rooms where you can use a special map to plan your corp operations.

Also you can open up shops and sell goods or services therefore getting an income via Walking in stations. i wont go into any more detail as its been stated elswhere where anyone can go and look it up.

Would you mind sharing where please?  I'm freaking out right now.

This may have been "said before".

Couldn't something like a "transformers" setup be adapted to EvE?

You'd retain your pod/clone, but it would be moved into a "transformer" which would then be launched to the moon/large asteroid/rocky planet you wanted to scout.

You could have offensive, defensive, mining, and engineering "transformers" with the same basic weapon types as ships (missiles, projectiles, lasers, etc.)

You could also have mines and other types of perimeter defenses for mining operations.

Long dead civilizations/technologies could be discovered . . .

I wonder if it would actually add something new to EvE though, in that you'd just be transporting elements of the game to surfaces.

You could even have gravity effect the gameplay (large asteroid vs moon vs planet) . . .

:O

if its a socializing tool.. then why no /dance?!?!?

lol

Btw, I absolutely hate the idea of being able to gain weight in game.  I don't know about every one else but that's just too stupid and it punishes those that would rather not use this feature that often or just don't have time to.  Not that that will be me, I'm just saying it will be absolutely ridiculous and above all should not be put into the game.
