EVE General Discussion

i said a long time ago they should make a new game, something like sim city where you build on a planet, trade with other player cities, pay taxes, collect taxes from your citizens, make jobs make them build stuff that you export to space ect...

Maybe one day being able to colonise a planet for your corp/alliance would be 'Capital Fl;ag' thing and give extra bonuses to ur corp like more PI, better crews etc?

There is a very old but very similar game to Eve and one of its features let you to haul colonists around and colonize other planets and this is the one feature still missing from that game which brought me so much joy.

I had hoped beyond hope that PI would be building cities and running empires and bombing them from orbit.. then as the blogs came out I loled..

Galactic civilisations it ain't

Same can be said for anything that isn't FIS

The idea is epic the enhancement of EVE into a full sci fi world however the CCP implementation of doing it in house is like a graduate project:

-If CCP want to have planetary interaction and empire managment get a RTS company to do it as an add on.
-If CCP want to have an EVE first person MMO engine get a first person MMO company to do it as an add on.
-If CCP want to have an EVE FPS get a FPS company to do it as an add on.
and FFS make them fun to play with a point!..

The model should have been if you want to play the above you pay the extra subscription or break open a plex to do it.

The beauty would be if you could play for free / make in game currency to buy plex in any of them and all of them follow a PVP model to some extent to balance it. Get sick of FIS... go build some colonies wander around roleplaying as a bartender, or snipe some guy with a railgun.. get sick of that? Siege the planet from orbit and take out the outpost above it.

So much wasted time and effort for something that was so promising, that is the truly galling thing.

I was thinking a bit older. Try Trade Wars 2002

I would like a eve connected ogame derivate. With all the stuff that ogame delivers, but with the eve-corps and alliances and of course all the connected consequences.

When I am at home, I play eve or maybe Dust in the future..but what am I supposed to do at work? I am totally in need of a eve related ogame that matters!

people actually want dust though, they just dont want it on PS3, a lot want it on 360. some want it on PC... PS3 is a terrible choice for shooters.

Many players and most certainly CCP have forgotten about it, but for reference the Fanfest 09 Tyrannis preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-kVv1q6uHM

Watch the presentation, take notes and then compare it to what we actually got with PI. You may understand why a lot of players turned bitter about the differences between the concept and the actual result.

Personally I can even forgive Incarna, as it was only a prototype, but not Planetary Interaction. From the very start all interesting features were removed, turning it into the monument of failure it is now.

What I want to know is how what they talked about doing there, the potential of some thing that could have really add something interesting for EvE players to do and seemed to be all the things that EvE stands for like players having to deal with other players and conflict, competition, reward vs risk, devolved and mutated into the hideous utterly boring PI monster we got?

Would have been better if they did a Sim City or Civilization in space instead of the malformed should have been aborted thing we got.

CCP needs to do better.

When the released PI there was all this talk about a team being left to improve it over time, but after how poorly it was received that seemed to got quietly forgotten. PI needs to be improved a lot for it to be anything more than annoying thing players have to do, so they can make the things now forever connected to it. T2 and POS stuff.

Sadly CCP was all take and no walk with that feature.

Here you go.
