I’m a Chinese player who has been playing EVE Online for about six to seven years, starting from the Chinese Serenity server and transitioning to the Tranquility server in 2023, where I still am. I’m really fond of EVE Online as it perfectly aligns with my imagination of a space game. During my six to seven years of playing EVE, I’ve learned about the “Captain’s Quarters” feature (I’m not entirely sure if this translation is correct, but I hope you understand what I mean) from veteran players and other sources on multiple occasions. I think it was a wonderful feature, even though it’s currently disabled. I believe that bringing this feature back would significantly enhance the immersion in EVE and give players a strong sense of belonging. It would make players, at least myself, feel like they have their own space or home in the EVE universe. I’ve also watched videos of players walking around in the “Captain’s Quarters,” and I find the feeling of observing one’s own ship from there to be truly great, a feeling that’s hard to put into words. I think the “Captain’s Quarters” feature can not only increase player stickiness and attract new players but also boost your revenue. For example, selling clone outfits would allow players to meet in the space station and show off their styles; selling furniture, decorations, or even TV shows and music tracks for players to decorate their rooms. I’ve played many types of games, and I know that selling clothes and furniture can generate substantial income, just like selling ship skins. Moreover, I think you could even integrate the “Captain’s Quarters” from the space station into the ships, enabling players to view the ship’s flight from a true cockpit perspective instead of the current first - person view with just some gauges. What I’ve mentioned is not only about improving the gaming experience for me and other players but also about bringing considerable revenue to your company. If you launch the features and items I’ve suggested, I’m sure that at least I’ll be willing to pay for them. I sincerely hope you’ll seriously consider this proposal. ---

Internal metrics at CCP showed that less than 10% of the player base even made use of it while it was a thing. ---

10% is a very high amount of people. I’m sure your playing style doesn’t go that far. ---

I liked it and also rarely ever used it. I understand why it was added and why it was removed, and would be surprised if it ever came back. ---

There is no cockpit or bridge to walk around in - The capsule is not your escape-pod or anything like that. You are not a fighter-pilot, you are not a traditional captain on a bridge, you are not even integrated into your chair or anything, you are physically linked to the capsule housed in the center of your ships buried under meters of armor and cabling, a living electronic nerve-center. You are a capsuleer. The quarters were the start of a walking-in-stations feature that was planned but never realized, way, WAY to many other things to take care of for CCP. Been to Jita? There used to be an intact monument there that got used as a protest-target to say NO to the path of WIS development with too many other things to deal with. Tiericide and re-balancing ships in EvE to all have a purpose as opposed to being inferior/superior versions of each other, was a direct consequence of that, at the players request, and further improvements followed soon after and they have not really stopped anytime soon. So… The odds that the quarters are coming back anytime soon are extremely low, from a resource perspective, time perspective, and desirability perspective. Only a fraction of the players cared to be able to walk around and having a walking-sim for station services you perform with the push of a button in the station UI is a hilarious level of work and commitment to time and resources for something that severs very little purpose. If you wish to go for a stroll in the EvE Universe, there’s Vanguard. Otherwise, what you ask here is simply not happening anytime soon. ---

> [@BloodBird](#): > > There used to be an intact monument there that got used as a protest-target to say NO to the path of WIS development with too many other things to deal with. This is incorrect, the Jita Riots were because of ARum, CCP’s new monetization greed at the time when all we got was Captains qtrs, when CCP said we were getting WiS and they failed to deliver. ---

Thanks for adding a detail I forgot, My point stands. Captain’s quarters were still involved however, and all this happened how long ago now? I’ve been around for near 20 years, a lot has happened. Station walking will not be happening anytime soon… in EvE Online that is. ---

You can have walking in stations right now. Go play Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, or No Man’s Sky. ---
