Now that the Caldari Navy Assembly Plant in Jita System, colloquially known as ‘4-4’ has been upgraded significantly and the wizards in fair and far Reykjavik have given us a space dock that has no equal in gaming anywhere, it is time to tap into the EVE community’s bottomless talent pool to take this wonderful effort to the next level.
Among the very many gifted artists that provide us with pictures, paintings, songs, music, propaganda, cosplay and other artistic expressions, there are also many professionals whose talents fit into the New Eden universe. Among them are architects. They could use their talent by building an entire floor plan of the reworked 4-4 Caldari Navy Assembly Plant (4-4 is mentioned specifically because there are other Caldari Navy Assembly Plants).
A non-exhaustive list of that work would contain:
- Structural elements
- Electrics
- Plumbing
- Signage
- Elevators
- Space docks
- Space ship berths
- Hangars
- Residential facilities
- Maintenance facilities
- Medical facilities
- Schools
- Local businesses
- Corporate quarters
- Embassies of the mega corporations
- A parish of the Star Diocese
- Restaurants / theatres / an opera house / bars and cafes / music halls
- Convention centres
- Laboratories
- A base for Concord
The architects designing the interior would know how to give this idea the proper expression it deserves. It is not this author’s goal to interfere in this process in any way.
This floor plan would enhance immersion and all its exquisite details would be yet another fibre in the rich quilt of New Eden lore. No doubt it would receive attention and acclaim for the intricate work of art it would become in its own right.
It would greatly enhance New Eden’s standing as a ‘real place’ and it might foster in the minds of the designers of this grand living work of art in fair and far Reykjavik that other stations could be thus enhanced so that they too could be brought to life with their own floor plan in the fullness of time.
Feel free to discuss this idea with anyone who might be so inclined to contribute in their own way to bring this idea to life.
