It occurred to me today that we’ve been playing eve for 15 years now with the same station in Jita, with sometimes upwards of 3,000 people docking in and out at once.
Wouldn’t it make sense at this point (and probably many many points) in time before to expand the station, give it multiple docking and undocking routes, maybe update the visual/model on the station to reflect the expansion?
Wouldn’t it be nice if it was represented in game, station sizes as a flexible thing depending on the frequency of use, with multiple routes in and out of the station?
Irrelevant details. Besides, CCP wants to push you out of that station into destructible structures. You can just anchor a Keepstar that offer space in a 150km wide structure. That’s what CCP wants you to do and they will not help anything that will make people like NPC stations more.
You already do have many, many ways to dock into Jita. You can jump into a frigate, or any ship, fly around the station including over and under it, make a bookmark at 0 distance or close to it, just not too far so you don’t have to coast to it. You can then click on the station and dock up.
As far as undocking goes, yea, it’d be kinda nice to at least have 2-3 different undock points for different size ships.
Actually the single undock point means you can have an instawarp/undock bookmark (or even several at various distances) and warp away instantly and due to the station geometry and where the undock point is, if you fail you can dock right up and try again as you are still within the docking ring as it is not a kick out station. So don’t see any issue here to be honest.
Its no biggie, if they decided to divide the undock by ship size for example, you’d just end up using 2-3 different undock bookmarks instead of the 1. Its really no big deal.
True, just saying it is actually easier right now, especially if they turned the station into a kick out one… which as I have a thief alt in Jita I would fully support, and I assume all the gankers too.
