Would be nice if every station had a little pub you could hang around in. I mean you would have to make first person walking and a pub interior but it could be done without making a whole station you can walk around, small steps.
Pub
- Thread starter Comrade Error
- Start date
Yeah! I had really great fun hanging out chatting to commanders in the station at Shinrarta when Elite first came out. Would be great if there was a proper bar based chatroom where we could sit and watch ships come and go.

In fact it would be nice if there was just a station chat room you could log into for now.

Not even 10am and someone's started drinking already!?!
Then I read the post.
It's a great idea.
Also - You could hear rumours of missions - and get offered 'dodgy' missions, especially passenger ones. You could be offered cheap cargo which could prove to be a bargain, or radioactive waste instead.
Your drink might be spiked, you could pass out and have to pay a fine to the police etc. All sorts of fun shenanigans which could be avoided simply by not going to the pub.
Why can't players buy and sell the pubs? The player could name it and get their name on it. They could be charged a fee based on the number of ships that, on average, come to the system. You could only make small profits or small losses. I think it would be very easy to do - it doesn't have to necessarily match a sandbox-like building simulation of, say, GTA5. I'd love to be able to own property in this game...and have a proper base.

I don't have a problem..
As there's a big player base located in the UK, you bet that someone already popped a Gin Tonic or an Ale.

You mean it's always high noon somewhere in the world.

I spend most evenings in a seedy neon lit bar in Arcorp in the Stanton system with my Org buddies...highly recommended bit of game mechanics for a nice break from the daily space grind events......grab a beer and head back out together for more space adventures.
ED would do well to add social areas like this once FPS mechanics are introduced...if they ever get introduced......and more to the point,in a decent way.

I fully support the creation of a space pub on stations. I don't want a space dance club, or a space casino or any of the other hackneyed tropes you find in video games involving booze and science fiction. I want warm beer, comfy seats and a view of the world spinning below me before I have my first drink.

For all that's holy let you guys have your warm beer but for the rest of the civilized world can we have our beers at a proper temperature? Thank you!

Space casinos, great stuff. I mean, come on if we can't have hoopy space casinos in Elite...something's amiss.
...yes, it is hackneyed I give you that.
I don't have a problem either; I have a mojito!
Sounds a bit like Freelancer's way of getting missions/contacts, but with more movement/interactivity. I like it.

for a minute I thought that was a link to some new fps style pub artwork...but its just a thread pretending to role play as a pub?...
typical FD implementation.
I wouldn't be surprised Ian
Ok, fair point. I suppose I don't have a problem with there being Space Casinos, just so long as we keep them separate from the pub.
I might be ok with a fruit machine in the corner though.

This is a role play thread that was started by kickstarter backers a month after the kickstarter finished. Nothing to do with FD implementation, it's all fan made
It shows that we as players have been thinking about FPS and possible sites within stations for a very long time.
Do you ever make a post that doesn't have a dig at FD in it?
