It is a space opera game.

confirming every ship counts. I have seen so many f'ing hero rifters and merlins and what have yous flown by 1 week old newbies making critical tackles, leading to very juicy kills.

Greetings,

I was listening to the Voices Podcast and doing some mining (Player v. Rock) and something along the lines of the cast got me thinking about why EVE seems to have some major contradicions that really do shoot it in the foot, and I am sure there are others with some, so for CCP (since there is this new openess with CCCP, er... CCP about communications) it may help to clear of the things that some players are all about with here.

Mine:

1. "TRUST NO ONE IN EVE" - then - "JOIN A CORP or the game sucks basically, and it does, I know I have been solo for 2yrs, but I am odd that way, I like suckage apparently.

2. "We want new players" - then - Rookie ships and starting frigates and cruisers really do look like the crappiest ship in the game.

3. "YOU MUST GO TO NULL TO GET RICH" - then - "TRUST NO ONE", but only can you get there if you JOIN an ALLIANCE...

... right off the bat this came to mind, list you can think of some... enjoy.



Well spotted. One of the funniest ones to me is:-

"EVE'S GREAT BECAUSE LOSS REALLY HURTS" - vs- "IT'S JUST A GAME"

The resolution of the contradiction is of course that there's a sort of unspoken macho sense in EVE akin to drug machismo. Of course loss hurts, it's virtual loss that's supposed to feel a bit like real loss. But the quicker you can suck it up and recover your equilibrium and remember it's just a game, the more manly you are in EVE terms.

It's really a bizarre form of nerdic masochism Lol People who get into EVE are like hostages suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, or people who get abused, then come to love the abuse, then come to love dishing it out in turn.

It really is a horrible, horrible game Big smile

nerdic masochism - hehe.

But is isn't it more correctly - Nordic Nerdic Sado-Masochism with just a dab of Pyro-Necroism in it? I think that would be a good name for a ship ingame.... "Nerdic Masochism" Lol

1: Only place that is 100% safe in EVE is docked up at a station, or on the login screen. Everyone else, you're fair game to someone regardless if you want it or not.


Then.. we see cloaks.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.

Punisher and Laser's fitting requirements compare to AC's:

Laser are the perfect weapon system to use on a Punisher. The inability of the punisher to dictate range is compensated by the range flexibility and high optimal of lasers. With its big cap pool and the bonus on laser cap cost, it's clear the punisher was build around the idea of using lasers. The problem is that laser cost a lot more to fit than AC. Which means that in order to use this kickass weapon system you penalies the very thing it's good at, its tanking ability.

To funniest part is that in order to maximize its most defining feature, its tank, you need to use the weapon system of its biggest enemy, the Minmatar...


That's my current one. And yes it's a copy/paste from a post I did a few minutes ago but it fitted well. *Get it? "fitted" like in fitting requir... ah nvm...
