EVE General Discussion

I found this out the hard way, closest ship - malediction 100km+ on overview...So why is there a tiny red spec orbiting my ship at 500?

I personally have never 10 boxed before, though this character is one of the 6 I use for grinding incursions. Rest assured, if I got wardecced by a 1 man corp, it would not go well for him

The irony here is that I know, from experience, that if I take one of my toons, and wardec a 10 man corp, I'll stomp the floor with them more often than not (and I tend to prefer larger targets anyway, 10 people rarely tend to have many active members, alliances with 150+ are more fun)

With all that said:

I actually DO think eve would be a much better game without alts. Capitals/supercaps would be more corp-oriented assets spies wouldn't be so absurdly easy to make/plant etc. It will NEVER happen, since eve's playerbase would shrink to about half its current size overnight, assuming people didn't just work their way around whatever blocks get put up, but it's a nice thought at least.

Your posting is ******** and should be against the rules.

Today was a long day.

Overview still has trouble with the scroll bar though - sometimes you are no longer able to click on stuff in the list unless you click on the scroll bar again. If there is no scroll bar make the box smaller so a scroll bar appears, click on it, then resize the box back and you can select stuff. Funny how you can make changes to a section of code while leaving the basic bugs unchanged.

Don't play with more than one monitor. You don't need more than one

now go away.

Well said.




Now that we've heard from the "I like my EVE on easy mode!" crowd, try imagining the depth and immersion of a game where one of the plausible professions is being a freelance hauler in a busy mining system because all those miners can't just cheese cargo robots. You could even go crooked and occasionally drum up business by paying a can flipper to harass the system occasionally.

Imagine a game where you ACTUALLY can't trust anyone else because there are no two characters whos motivations come from the same source. There'd always be that twinge of doubt when you jumped to a cyno, or your scout told you the gate was clear, etc.

Imagine a game where a well-oiled mining op or something comperable was a real accomplishment, instead of just a poor fallback if you can't 10-box.

For anyone that actually appreciates the fact that the harsh environs of EVE lend legitimacy to the completion of even simple tasks, removing multiboxing would create a staggeringly more complex and immersive game. I bet guys like Eternus here like to join in with the "go back to WoW" when someone complains about training times or pirates, but turns around and spews this bunk when making the game more difficult is suggested.

It is sad that this would be nearly impossible to impliment. As it stands, I merely pretend alts are, in fact, programmable androids that very rich capsuleers can afford.

Yeah and pretend that Eve isnt based on larceny and piracy from the get go and handing over your precious cargo to some stranger for haulage will get it stolen faster than anything else ever will. Yeah imagine that...

Yeah imagine an Eve where you cant trust anyone.....wait thats already here....

Yeah imagine a game thats more like real life where you have to get a zillion people together to take ****... you can call it "Girlz Online In the Bathroom" too. Cuz you know its lots of fun sitting around and having to wait for 60 people to log in and form up for EVERYTHING you do. Its GREAT bliss wasting that precious hour of game time you might have waiting around for that special someone to get it right only to have them jump the gate ahead of time and ruin it all in 5 mins. Cuz you know its OH so much fun that way.

TL;DR "I'm not very bright. Socializing is hard. Solo productivity is hard. I liek E-Z. Moar accnts, pl0x."
