EVE General Discussion

probably this or at the very least a much diminished player base.


Game is going to need some rather massive, and I say massive changes to it's graphic engine as well as combat mechanics to stay relevant 10 years from now. 4 chan with spaceships will just not be enough.

Ruled by Goonswarm completely and thus, infinitely more hilarious.

Science theories that are currently outside of linked up theory become a predominant theme in EVE.

Space above and below the New Eden Cluster will be connected via chargeable jump drives, they will accomodate player owned stargates, lead to both null-sec and hi-sec and will require a corporation password to activate.

New fiction links up New Edens past, political overtones and cultural reasoning to the point where history in New Eden is now 2 decades long.

Ships would have been rebalanced to the point of a bona fide rock paper scissors format, with the same relationships available in groups of 3, 5, 9 and above 15 causing organised human behaviour to be manifest in ways that have previously only been exemplified in bacterial lifeforms.

The single shard universe will remain single shard, but new oope posts will discuss the relevance of shard when compared to CCP's new server housed in synthetic brain cells on top of an electron-sheet.

Quantum Computing and the codifying language needed will have been rolled out several times in several different versions and will be obsolete.

The computer you will use to play EVE will be soo small, if someone makes you sit playing for long enough, until you sneeze you could lose your pc, smell-this technology becomes inundated with pepper-spray requests via Distributed-Provision-of-Pepper-Spray attacks.

CCP have released some of the concepts that have been waiting for Customer demand to exceed the currently inferior levels (compared to re-balance / profitability requests)

Some players have opted to freelance for CCP and space vampires are now a bona fide faction.

Untold events surrounding the Ancient races have had sequential play in the societal mainstream causing many players to discuss openly new technological concepts arising from mutual understanding, leading to adaptive modules like the Armor Phasing module to become available for every slot.


CCP Fozzie won several awards for work carried out balancing, to equilibrium, phased effect modules that vary in potency from one second to the next.

New Module requiring a hi-slot has been developed that allows players to apply one damage-type change to charges+ammo once fired, David Beckham is the most potent Amarrian pilot, alongside Steven Gerrard. Neuro-visual interfaces have allowed this change to be incorporated into CCP's model.

Panoramic goggles have been incorporated into the EVE spectrum and all HUD elements are now viewable in areas of vision representing their location in the, now understood, brain.

Extra-Vehicular-Activity is still a major lure for new players in the EVE experience, and youtube is saturated with videos showing in-game players stood next to airlocks with full-feel suits now in easily obtainable supply outside of game.

player wallets max out at 1 googleplex of isk
PLEX cost skyrockets to 50 bill per
CCP operates TQ in space
forums moaning about something
goons go the way of BOB letting some new alliance to take over
chinese server merged into TQ bringing the average online players to 3 billion players (just 1 billion chinese and their alts)
and asteroid belts never last more then 4 hours before being mined out completely

Ten years ago everyone was

1. endlessly speculating about dreadnaughts and what role they would play
2. Wishing that there was some sort of counter for safe spots as it was uncounterable
3. Wishing that there was WiS

EVE needs a proper anniversary party. Some kind of celebration video on YouTube like a montage of trailers, good times, bad times... everything, even incarna, needs to be remembered to remind us that the next steps forward need to be as constructive as possible to keep EVE alive and kicking and as original and revolutionary as possible.

I've heard of CCP giving its players gifts and what not on anniversaries - the only gift I'm interested in is that in ten years time, I'll still be flying the spacelanes of New Eden. That, plus I'll have my masters degree and be working as an investigative journalist in an as yet undecided field.

But if the devs insist on tenth anniversary gifts, I want snowball launchers, and just to mix things up a little, a My Little Pony cannon.
(I'll let you use your imaginations for the last one).

What i hope...

Dust players and eve players will be able to mix ( as in, able to land on planet, or able to board a ship )

No more gates, but "a la startrek" jumpdrives to travel to other systems

Able to "stick control" small ships.

Player build "supermotherships" , basicly a station with engine's and ( multiple ) pilots.

And give me my cowboyhat and boa to dress up my toon :)

10 Years from now,

CCP Releases the long anticipated content patch, once known as Ambulation, then known as Walking in Stations, then known as Space Poker and Alcohol, then known for the next few years as We need Space Cybersex.

EVE Online: Re-Incarna.

Featuring four new outfits, only available in the NeX Store, optional emote abilities, purchasable through the NeX Store, Fully sculptable and trimmable hair, for the first time in MMO History, players will be able to have their capsuleers train in a whole new exciting range of skills.

- Cosmetology: A Varied degree of skills for character customization. Which will as an added perk apply bonuses to your character's attributes. Causing PvP corps to demand that their members opt to devote the full 75 Million Skillpoints that will be in cosmetology to their characters, due to the fact the passive attributes will be so gamebreaking to people who havent learned to cut hair like a boss.

In 10 years Global warming hits hard, so most of the eve players are bisy stockpiling real life food rather than plex or isk so eve reaches record of 10k online tops on wekeends.Having 25vs25 is now considered a " large fleet fight".Most miners and industrial ppl are dead so pvpers now have to mine on their own and build their own modules and ships.The term carebear gets a whole new meaning.The end.

In 10 years time the last isolated vestiges of humanity will be slowly winking out of existence as the zombie apocalypse runs its course.

In a dark, long abandoned empty industrial unit the eve server bank chatters and beeps only to itself for as long as its power holds.

No wars are fought today, no sovereignty claimed, no damsels rescued. The once blazing trails of demigods fade and are forever lost against the stars.

In a time of both uniqueness and sadness there is true peace in New Eden. The galaxy itself endures as it was made to do, haunted by the ghosts of glories past, unable and unwilling to acknowledge its own frail mortality.
As server banks fail, whole swathes of once teeming space are forever lost, their very existence slowly unraveling and fading into the night.


For the first time in the history of eve, the logs genuinely show nothing.
