Human Faces

Jul 22, 2009 bandolin link
The one thing that I've noticed in this game is the complete lack of human faces. All interaction is text, and that's OK. But it would be nice if you saw a friendly face every now and then.

Example: as you pull into a space station, instead of docking into an empty hole, the back wall has a window whereby you would see a space port controller waving at you.

I don't know if this kind of thing is possible but I would make the game more immersive IMHO.

Also when you receive a mission, just a photo of the person you would be talking to would enhance the role playing experience.

You're in luck!
I tried to find a picture, but it was taking too long, and the search thingy on VO's forums doesn't work with words shorter than four letters.

Meh. I'd rather have content. Roid textures and awesomer fps meters and human faces would be cool things to add to a game. Let's add enough content to legitimately call this a game rather than a tech demo, and then we can do that stuff, eh?

when I first joined the game i really wanted the ability to make an avatar for your char not that it is a big deal but it would make it look more like a finished game.

Your ship is your avatar.

your ship is a very temporary tool, one of many ships dispersed around in the 'verse used for a very specific purpose and is discarded for a more applicable ship when needed. I also vote for a human avatar that is actually permanent for a character.

Avatars: now with 15 different bodies! ... ALSO: Colors!

It would actually be kinds funny and/or cool to have avatars for your char, PLUS avatars for the NPC's you interact with ingame.

But, might also be a bit of a time-waster, let's complete the whole economy/faction thing and get content first.

Totally.

We get this on a regular basis. Visit planets, make an avatar, walk about in stations, interact in bars, talk to other folk etc.

Simple. If you want this go to second life and build a VO station. Add all these things, give us a location. SL is free if all you do is wander about drunk. If some enterprising person does this I promise I will visit it. For several minutes.

Oh , and mute works in SL too...........

I think I found incarnate in file 102 harharhar!
honestly though I think I just came up with a nifty little easter egg. IMPLEMENT ASAP!

Indeed. And if we shoot the station at that point, special "Hunter-Killer" station guards come to, well, hunt and kill you.

No. I like to throw threads like this off-topic. Bad habit, I know.
Jul 25, 2009 Dr. Lecter link
Apparently threads exactly like this one belong in Off Topic.

Whistler, however, was apparently too drained by the effort of moving the one thread to get this one over there, too.

This is actually a worth while suggestion, I wouldn't mind something along the lines of this implemented.

-1 to the Doc.

EDIT: Of course this something for after the whole universal redux... thing.
