Yes yes I know that we know next to nothing about beautiful ol' Valkyrie, but:

If New Eden ever sees manned fighters along side capsuleers, would fighter pilots be able to see cloaked ships???

I don't know the science behind our cloaking devices but if they're just fooling camera drones, it stands to reason that a person looking out a window would see a ship using one, right?

You seem to be assuming the universes will at any point be combined. I will assume myself that it will never happen.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Not assuming at all, simply "if" as I said...

You're not going to see manned joystick-wielding fighters in space alongside EVE ships for one very simple reason - Tranquility operates at 1 tick per second. The speed of Tranquility would make twitch gameplay impossible without rebuilding the entire server architecture.

You could have instanced combat I suppose, but that kind of defeats the whole appeal of a one-shard universe to begin with.

Sad news, yes....but better rip the band-aid off now. What?

EVE and Valkyrie will never be combined. The former has slow server speed (1 "tick" per second) while the latter requires FPS levels of server speed (~1 "tick" per milisecond).

edit: damn... beaten to the punch.

HANS YOU BASTAGE!!!

How did you Veterans start?
