Bare with me I will get to a point.

Remember that show, Stargate Universe; if you didn't watch it at all then you probably don't know. I remember that Destiny had a control mechanism much like the way that pod pilots control ships in Eve. Direct control of the ship through ones thoughts. While I think this is a cool sci-fi theme this isn't the first time this has been suggested on television (farscape). So I took it at that a neat theme that really has some basis in scientific research.

I was recently browsing the early eve chronicles and found a gem that sounded remarkably similar to events that happened on the much later released SG-U.

Mindlock is something that one of the ships crew suffered from after attempting to control Destiny. This could be coincidence or it could be intentional. What is your take on it?

Either way I like it, if it adds to the avenues of experience in a Persistent MMO then it doesn't really matter where it came from, as long as the involved parties realise that the content is fiction, and any copyright issues that are foreseeable are ironed out before hand.

If CCP Games implemented a "many outcomes" model to the storyline, its quite likely that the same extensions of science that are included in science fiction would arise through the natural escalation of already known stuff.
