Guns! I wants guns!

So I read the large dialog from Hellmar on Eve Radio and therein was a link to "the future vision" of Eve.

In the end, the main character whome the video is centered around gets a pistol pointed at his head.


Now if I would never ever leave my pod, spin the ol' ships, and let the noobs and other players walk in stations and show off their clothes to their hearts content, it would not make a difference to me. I would even hope that the old school FiS crowd always has the option to stay in capsule forever and let F2P (which the old-school crowd will probably refer to as "freetards") players prance about in skirts.

One thing is certain: I would never do any MT. Period. Never have done MT in any game so far, and never bought a plex, and never planned on it.



But if there is going to be melee with weapons and such, I wll be first in line to buy a blaster or whatever they call it.

Right now, another multiplayer FPS game I liked to play since 2006 is going to the wayside. The servers are empty, but DUST is not going to be ported to PC no matter how many CCP devs I threaten to molest.

Guns would mean fighitng in stations, right?

So let's have at it and make my very first MT in my life be for a hand-held weapon to use on my beloved fellow players. ♥

I for one would be happy to prance through station wearing said skirt and toting a blaster rifle.

Now, after watching the video, it rises a question. If we could shoot fellow pod pilots, how would death be handled?

Surrender is still your slightly less painful option.

If the pod connects you to your clones and transmits your data just before you die to activate those clones- every sensible capsuleer would store some kind of backup before leaving his pod. So if someone kills you outside your pod, your clone would activate as if you were killed the moment you left your pod.


I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

There are places for people like you. Starts with a 'P'. No guns.

But if we go by the lore, that is near impossible without frying your brain.

Yeah the "death in station" thing is something I wonder about too.

The lore may have been updated with DUST514.
I think there are explanations in the DUST514 chronicles, which you can find on the website.

I think Minmatar pilots should eb able to browse through a wide selection of pistols to purchase... like a 44 magnum, Colt 45, Desert eagle etc...

Amarr pilots get an assortment of beam or pulse laser pistols...

Caldari can have a mini missile launcher pistol

Gallente can have a 'Blaster on a stick'

As someone who has been in Caldari space with shipments of small arms and had run-ins with customs, small arms are illegal in Caldari land except for a certain type.

I don't know about Amarr - squirt guns with holy water? Or am I thinking about WoD?

(Sorry, couldn't help it)

"Racial" small arms would be a great idea though. Projectile weapons for Minmatar along the lines of what we have on present day Earth, and I was also thinking of those light-speed rail guns.

Hopefully the Minmatar have figured out caseless ammo by now - because I would hate to see brass cases still in use 23000 years from now - brass cases are so 19th century.

The grip angle is in line with the latest concepts in pistol design to get the webbing of the hand as high up in the line of recoil as possible. Very nice.

Might just add that it's not my work. That's stuff from CCP for DUST 514.

we can all agree here that guns are awesome. We can all agree that getting spawnraped by 15 guns when you leave your room isn't so even if they put guns in one day it will be far in the future with very high saveguards.

to the OP I ask this: what if guns are... MT based!

I for one would have sentry guns at the entrance to my quarters to help discourage that behavior.

If they make guns MT based, then there goes all my hard earned ISK.

If guns were to be added, then I would also like to see "non-lethal" weapons as will. Something like tasers, flashbangs, etc. I can just see it now, walk up to a group of newbies and drop a few flashbangs into the middle of them.....

I am good enough with the 1897 shotty that other players cry haxorz when I get a Killing Spree.


I expect that WiS Eve will be MT based because that's the future we can't avoid but FiS Eve will stay the same lest we bitter vets start sending our soiled Depends to CCP headquarters in protest.
