EVE General Discussion

Your obvious experience in video game design has prepared you well for your future career in the fast food industry.

I'm curious as to what the purpose of this post is tbh

why haz mag booties when u can haz an eva suit with little thrusters to maneuver in zero g also for eva activity we need a tether so we dont float off in to space but if that did happen i could just suicide too i also assume that capsulers will also be getting the same sleeper/talocan tech derived implants that the dusties have to make are eva/instation activities safe for us so you know that we wont catch a case of death

i really wana see some zero g game play inside of sleeper structures in sted of just walking i can walk in rl if i wanted to do that or play a walking simulator like dayz jk

can we haz moon bases like not pos but actualy on dem moons and it would be cool if we could dock ships on dem moonz and and haz super secret undgroud bases on dem moons since moons will be pointless after you take dat moon goo out and put it in rings and and make dem new pos ancorabel any where in a system

but yes eve should be the premiere SPACE SIM not the premiere SPACESHIP SIM i want to walk on planets moons stations and ships inside and out then eve will be great now its just cool space ship game not an epic universe as far as im concerned you guys have spent 10 years on space ships time to "flesh" out the rest of the universe a bit

Getting the in development game into peoples hands as early as possible.

Obviously we need Magneto Boots. But we Caldari, having surpassed the decadent Gallente technology, will get Grav boots. Amarr Laser Boots will of course remain viable.

(Everyone try not to laugh at Disco Stu in his Minmatar Radio Boots.)

I'm excited!

But one question: in my writeup, "The Resurrection Men Storyboard" I touch on implementing the gameplay of the EVE Chronicles story of the same name: specifically, the location of interesting mental assets, securing those assets, extracting them from the host and then preparing them for market. That is, hunting down e.g.: a smart hacker, sitting that hacker in a couch and dosing them up with nanites, extracting the portions of their brain responsible for their elite hacking skills, packaging them up in an implant, and delivering the implant to the marketplace.

Initially my idea was for Dust Bunnies to do the legwork on behalf of capsuleers, with Planetary Interaction contributing to the manufacturing process.

Although I appreciate the need to keep things under wraps until you do the reveal at FanFest or through a mechanism of your choosing, is it likely that DUST 514 and Planetary Interaction will play significant roles in your proposed system of putting implant manufacture into the hands of the players?

Additionally, do you imagine the NPC markets participating in this industry at all through, say, replacing existing implants with various high-value components essential to manufacturing implants?

What? Those combat environments are the training

I felt a great disturbance in The Force … as if a million Barbies cried out in terror and were suddenly homeless. I fear basement virginity has happened.

avatars FTW need to make walking in stations!!!

This idea would certainly add new dimensions to Eve's gameplay.

I can understand the financial constraints of doing this, especially at the moment with DUST due, and personally (unlike many grumpy sods here) I appreciate you sharing these proto-ideas and concepts with us. Even if these things don't ever materialise it is interesting to speculate on the potential of Eve through additional new gameplay areas etc...

That potential is one of the most interesting things for me, and I often wonder if provided the game and company are still going what the game will encompass in 10, 20 or even 50 more years!

The demand for 'Eve' as a science fiction simulator will always be there, and if I had a few hundred million quid myself I'd be tempted to invest in developing more content for this game.

I wonder if you at CCP have considered either taking the game to angel investors like on Dragons Den or whatever?
- Yes I'd be sceptical of that as a player because outside investors would probably demand you squeeze players as hard as possible to make as much as they could on their investment.

Another possibility is outsourcing other gameplay elements to other development companies and considering bolt on additions to gameplay - for example PKR avatar poker might be interested in providing that content themselves either by license or whatever, and it might be more realistic for them to develop in partnership with CCP rather than you at CCP do it all in-house?

Whatever course and direction you folks take I'm glad the communication is better than it was before Incarna for example. Keep us players informed and the more rational element of us will thank you for it.

Cheers.
