I'm thinking of becoming a permanent resident of Mars. This would be a fun adventure n the true frontieer. But would I be able to take EVE with me? Would I still be a US citizen?

I wouldn't even want to know what the latency is, or the traceroute on that connection would be.

You think Jita lags, now? Jesus, wait until it takes the signal 2 years to get to you....

You could always ask CCP to send a server with you, so you can set up EVE: Mars.... you know for a fact they'd be down to do something like that. Sweeten the deal by reminding them they would be the first developer to put an MMO on another damn planet!

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

In fact.... I think we need to start a petition to CCP and get them to send a copy of the entire game world out with the Mars mission. It'd give ya'll something to do on the flight over, and on the seemingly epic amounts of downtime ya'll will have, once you're there.

Then, a meme comes to mind "Yo, dog.... we heard you like flying in space..."

Send bunch of untrained personnel not in top condition to another planet.

Yup, I can see no way this will end horribly

If you actually took the time to read the website, you would see that they intend to train every candidate the required "8 years of training"

EUGH, I hope they set up an internet connection to earth if we do eventually go to mars.

Otherwise they might have to split EVE up into 2 [okay 3] servers.

If I recall correctly, the timeouts built into TCP make a Mars connection rather iffy.

InterPlaNet was supposed to be a solution.

Latency could be up to 40 minutes depending on the time of year (on both planets).

If you think you can play on TQ like that, be my guest.
If you take it with you, have fun playing with 3 other people.

Pros:
Mars is ******* awesome
cons:
the internets there suck

I can just imagine that show will just be like:
Day 1: All the colonists are setting up the tools required for life on another planet
Day 4: The colonists didn't know how to set up the tools so now they just sit there and wait for death.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

IIRC the average time for signals to get from Earth to Mars is about 14-15 minutes.

He could always mine ice. Hell if he found some way to do bulk data pulls trading could be a viable option. You'd need some kind of way to request info on many items at once though, as checking one item every 2 hours would destroy your ability to collect data. Let's see...what else... planetary interaction? Again you'd need bulk data dumps but once into was gathered and stuff set up it *could* work.

I'm actually seriously curious now what other aspects of eve would be playable with 1 hour lag. Any ideas?

If only eve was a turn based game, it would be ok. Playing by e mail would work too. A match of chess would only gain from it. All radio conections between the mars and earth would feel like someone was taking data and delivering them "manually" to the other building across street. As for the whole flight, i dont think they will have enough nerves to not kill eatch other even during flight.Pirate

But if they somehow made it, i suppose, they would be physically first marsians, and if colony would be self sufficient, they would be physically from the independent colony of human beings, and human writen history of mars would not be sc-fi.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

If a wireless connection or uplink were possible, we're looking at roughly 20 minutes.
