I was trying to run Eve on my windows ME(milenium) PC the other day, but it wouldn't work. Everyone would agree that these high tech graphics are not needed as I witnessed my rupture take the shape of a banana yesterday at lowest resolution.

So you want the devs to spend actual on-the-clock time to make EVE work on machines so outdated that they can't even run outdated software?

Windows ME? wasn't that the worst operating system malware ever inflicted on mankind?

People like you are the reason we can't have nice things like DX11 and tessellation in Eve, please take your PC out back and put it out of its misery.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Perhaps you may just want to play Elite instead?

Clearly, you haven't tried windows 8.

A non-biting response;

Wire frame would be a bit much. But, considering that the ships we fly are essentially collision orbs, I would assume that it would be fairly painless to implement a mode that loaded in 2D placeholders (new brackets?) in the place of ship models.

But really, I think the only performance tweak I'd ask for is that we still can't turn off gas clouds.

Also, wrong forum.

Clearly you haven't either. Or is the start screen that much of a problem for you? Because that's pretty much the only difference you'll see in your regular use of the computer.

And it's not like you sit with your start menu open all the time. Start an application, and it's pretty much exactly like windows 7. But with a bunch of additional security features ticking over in the background, unseen.

Woo! CSM XI!

I know I haven't. Didn't try Vista either. Everyone knows every other version is horrible. I'm planning on sticking with Windows 7 until Windows 9.

Please port EVE to my C64. Thank you.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Text based adventure EvE is where it's at.

>Dock up
'Your ship docks in the station.'

>Get out of pod
'I do not understand Get out of pod.'

>Disembark
'You disembark from your ship'

>Walk to Captains Quarters
'You walk to your captains quarters'

>Walk left
'You cannot Walk left, the door to the station is welded shut until further notice. Would you like to buy a monocle instead?'




It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Can't see why they'd spend dev time on supporting Windows ME, by the time anyones actually booted ME up from the post screen to a stable desktop we'll all be doing this for real anyhow.

(Based on the Windows ME PC they used to have at reception in my old job by the time it had loaded windows after being turned on in the morning literally half the day had gone).
