Mounts coming to Incarna
What Incarna home is complete without a fluffy little pet to greet you as you enter your Captain's Quarters? "NO HOME!" is our answer.
While we're referring to this feature as Incarna Mounts, there are actually two tiers what we will offer:
1. Smaller pets that will initially live in your Captain's Quarters. In time, we will allow them to venture out into stations with you, remaining within a certain user-defined radius of your avatar while you're out and about, with a chance-based risk that they will run away.
2. Larger pets which are true mounts, and can be ridden, raced, and used in combat scenarios in specialized station environments. Unlike pets, these mounts will have hitpoints and an array of combat or performance-centric enhancements swappable via a simplified fitting screen.
With the introduction of pets and mounts, players will also gain access to five new skills --
- Obedience training
- Mount control
- Animal husbandry (No, it's not what you think. You cannot marry animals in EVE, Wikipedia is your friend.)
- Veterinarian
- Gene splicing
