station avatar

vorlon31

a friend of mine has expressed many times how they would like it if jumpgate had a station avatar element pushing ahead of what freelancer did with animated sequences.

Would that work in Jumpgate Evolution or would it be too swg and turn stations into crowded wow like environments?

Mr_Bloodworth

i would LOVE to finally, FOR ONCE get out of my ship in a space game.

They pull out your spine and brain and install it in a pod. Those are the alterations they make so you can survive using jumpgates. That's why you can't get out of the cockpit.

thats eve isnt it?

Tritian

at the least, it'd be nice if we had custom 64x64 images we could use as our avatar's when in stations, kinda like forum avatars.

As far as a full 3D walk-around thing.. that'd be very cool but would require a lot of dev time.

I actually prefer having all that stuff left up to the imagination. Hell, I don't think it was ever shown that our pilots were human, just humanoid in appearance.

Jumpgate was like a good book in that way. If it gets turned into a movie and you get to SEE what an Octavian High Ultra Praetorius General looks like, it will wind up disappointing.

Only 10 ?

Sephiroth

I really don't see any need for this. It's a space sim guys, you shouldn't be spending all your time walking around the station

Anyway doubtful that it will happen regardless because of the dev time required.

Either way put me down for a no vote

vorlon31

well surely dev time wouldn't be 'that' bad, its not like Netdevil aren't working on a FPS run around anyway.
