By "easy" I mean the groundwork is already there.
We already have the ability to walk around in 3rd person in the merc quarters, and also hangout with other mercs in the war barge, (though its limited). Why not expand that?
The merc quarters are on a space station. Why not make the station explorable with other mercs there? Each station should be able to house like 20 players based on location (the guys who show up on your local chat should populate your station). You should be able to invite other mercs to your station, or your MQ.
Corps supposedly have some location for their HQ, that location should be a station you can actually visit and hang out wih corp mates. You should also be able to set your corp's HQ station as the new location for your MQ.
Now, what should you be able to do at these stations:
Walk around
Challenge each other to VR duels; also place spectate and place bets on those duels. It would also be nice to have options for what suit tiers and weapons are allowed in these duels.
That board game from the Event Horizon Lounge for Dust 514 section of PlayStation Home; also with gambling.
Put items up for sale in local player market (when we finally get player market), or access local player market to buy items from others on local.
Player-to-player item trading/selling (when it finally comes).
VR item testing.
Invite other mercs to your station (would be useful if you want to duel them).
Coporation stations should have the promised corp armory feature ( https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=371313#post371313 ) for pooling items.
There should likely a be a station chat for talking to those specifically in your station. |

You should take what was already done for DUST in PS home and build on it. |

Kind of a silly fluff thing right now, but I think it'd do a lot for immersion. It wouldn't need to be anything particularly grand just yet. Use some kind of an elevator / tram system to take you from your MQ door to the common areas. Put in some kind of a concourse with what looks like stores and stuff and windows that let you see the local nebula. The other big area you could put in could be something like the war room on the barge, with terminals to access all the menus we use in the neocom. You'd need 4 different station environments, possibly expanding on this some day to give more variety.
There's been a lot of curiosity from players in eve and from CCP themselves about how mercs will move around New Eden. Instantly teleporting all over leads to a spying problem from the Eve side. We could scan whole regions from the PS3 in a very short period of time to find out what system a given pilot is in. So...here's a place to start. At one end of the concourse include a shuttle bay, where you can book passage to another station. If it's in the same system you arrive instantly. If it's in another system, you arrive at downtime so that you can't just teleport all over constantly. Or...make a deal with a capsuleer to move you as often as you want.
This could also lead to an entryway for PVE that ties people into New Eden more than just pressing a button on a menu. Put in Dust's version of mission agents, who you can talk to in order to get PVE content of some kind (drones, or ideally some kind of mission system that gives more variety). The trick here is that you can only bring people with you into the mission who are in that station. This makes location matter for something, and if you're not in a corp encourages you to socialize with whoever is around you. |

Another idea from my corp's IRC. Introduce offices to Dust. In Eve a corp can rent an office in a station, which lets you set a location that you'll wake up in if you die. The storefronts I imagined on the concourse could include office spaces a corp could rent for a small fee, and would put the corp's logo / name on it. That makes it into a point that a merc can just teleport to when he wants, through committing suicide like the pilots in Eve do. So if your corp wants to get together and do some PVE, you meet up at your office and have at it.
It'll be ages before we ever see anything like this, but it's fun to think about. It would definitely give you a strong sense of location. |

No... not the board game... Have you played that thing? Took me 3 and a half hours just to win one game. I don't mind the game itself; it's not a bad concept, but make the maps smaller and the games shorter. That thing would take forever with real people (especially those who know how to play). I'm shivering just thinking about THAT being in Dust... |
