Nice concept, but not sure if exited ot scared

The same can be said of capturing hostile alliance stations and other structures: Station attackers can hire dusties to board the station and capture the command section, as part of the final station timer. Station owners can set up an automatic contract that hires dusties to defend their station.

There isn't any reason why WiS needs to be extended to actual FPS style combat, or to anything other than bars and card games and titty bars that we can populate with slaves and prostitutes and other human live stock.

We however still live in a world where CCP are not competent to run POS rework and Ring mining simultainously, yet intent on letting things like WiS and other artsy bullshit overlap.

What do that say about the dimension of design resources over in Iceland?

What do that say about the the commitment to their core product of FiS?

For the past year now, we've been fed some new ships and other little stitches, but that's also all we've been fed. Three-headed monkeys while it's evident that CCP Iceland still have a high percentage of barber-school drop-out emos that "whoa dude, we creative multimodal life and immersive experiences" and way too few number-crunching basement-dwelling nerds that create online spaceship games.

That's what the "Incarna debacle" was all about. Not focusing on THE GAME.

I don't mind for a second if they have the resources to run some WiS development on the side. The thing is, they are not delivering POS rework, Ring mining and Crimewatch in a timely fashion. So they DON'T have the fucking resources, and all these fashionable accessories should go.

They are in the gaming industry, not the $800 pants one. It's about priority and allocation of resources. I hope getting tossed some new frigates doesn't cloud that judgement.

And during those 18 months (I see what you did there) developers that could be working on fixing space ships will be fiddling around with Second Life IN SPAAAAAAAACE!

And I know that CCP said that any work they did on WiS would never take away from work on FiS. But that doesn't really work because they still need to budget for all those programmers working on side projects. So lets say CCP makes enough money to hire X developers. And their incarna WiS project takes N devs to get done. Then CCP will be able to afford (X – N) devs to work on eve.

The devs might consider abandoning using their carbon engine for this too. Sure it looks great and all, but it melts graphics cards. Going the Unreal route, like they did with Dust, might be a better option.

It would be great to have boarding parties for other ships too.
