Out of Pod Experience

I don't think it will kill EVE, but I also think it will leave a mark on EVE. I've notice a lot of comments on here are simply not true. I am not calling them out because of 2 big reasons.

1. Some of the information like the economy was just released. It sounds like it's going to be similar to CCP game economy.

2. I am sure some of the info is hype. It's not uncommon for a game company to hype up their game/s to higher levels than what can be delivered. This includes CCP.



From what I can tell, here are the things everything needs to keep in mind.

BOTH:

EO & SC is in space.

EO & SC says they are realistic (or somewhat)

EO & SC will be a sandbox space game

I just found out SC could be on 1 server. So this means EO and SC could be a 1 server deal.

EO & SC market is based on supply and demand

EO & SC could be free. (SC is free, but it's hard to tell if you must pay for things like Entropia Uni)

EO & SC you can be a trader, miner, explorer, pvp, pve, etc. (pretty much they sound like you can do the same thing in this way.) Keep in mind. There has been no word on if there will be WH and what not in SC.

EO & SC don't require fuel. (At least the ships so far don't)

EO & SC has cops.

EO & SC has a bounty system.

EO & SC has insurance.

EO & SC could have bodies. (I am wondering what happens when you shoot someone who is coming on your ship. Does their body stay there until someone kick it out of the ship? Can you hang their body on the wall? Can you use it as a table? (Obviously the sicker it goes, the chances goes down)

EO & SC is a ship fitting game.

Both games could have WIS

EO and SC you can buy things will real money.

The dif:

SC ship fits are a mix on how little you can fit, and the outcome of the fit. EVE Online is a fit if you have power.

EO requires a Plex per month or a sub. SC just requires a 1 time $60.

It's possible SC can have ORBITAL MECHANICS like Kerbal Space Program. EO doesn't

SC combat requires you to pay attention to how you move, where you shoot, and so on. (You can take out bits of their ship) EO requires a click to target, click to shoot, click to maybe orbit, and wait.

SC death is death (there isn't to much info on this). EO death is going to your clone.

EO missions come from stations (that gives you a random mission on a long list). SC missions will come from factories on planets that is making goods (maybe other places too). Watch this video to learn more about this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0qXEAqYIH8

EO is just walking in a jail cell right now. SC is walking in your ship, station, planet, bars, etc.

Damage in EO doesn't reflect on the person. SC damage reflects on the alt. (you can have scars and cybernetics if parts of you are messed up during a fight. One thing that was said is if you board someone elses ship, you can lose a jaw or eye.)
So you can walk up to someone in a bar, and you can see if they are a bad as$ with their scars (like real life).

EO you can't board ships that already has a player in them. SC you can, and you can die, kill everyone, or take them in as slaves, etc.

SC you can have a system named after you if you find an unmap system. EO what unmap system?

SC can be played online, closed MP, and as a MMO. EO is just a MMO. (we will see more on how this will work later)

EO is based on skills. The longer you play the game, the more skills you have. And, the more likely you can take out a newer person. I am getting mix info on SC skills, but it sounds like the skills are based on your real life skills.

EO you can buy whatever you want and how much you want with real money. ($=Plex=isk) There is a limit on SC

There is no physics in EO. There is on SC.

You can fly with other players in the same ship in SC. 1 play 1 ship in EO.

There is something about sleeping in a ship (I am not going into this because there isn't too much info on this, and you can't do that on EO because you can't walk around in a ship)

EO is only space combat. SC is both hand and space.

There is hanger fees on SC. There isn't hangar fees on EO (There isn't too much info on this)




That's pretty much all I know about SC.

A personal attack post has been deleted.

Forum rule 4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

I'll wait till ign reviews it, and gives it a 10 before picking it up.

I think IGN is corrupt. I think some of the best reviews out there is by an average person on YouTube. People on YouTube tend to show the glitches, the screw ups, the good, and the bad.

I am not telling you to watch my upcoming review. But I will be as honest as I can be on this game. (keep in mind a reviewers likes and dislikes can differ from yours. This includes people who work for IGN.)

the **** are you talking about?? this is the eve-o forums, reason and rationale is left outside!

now, good sir, that was a nuclear-strength ice burn right there.

well played and touché sir, touché

I agree with you when you are talking about the hype and talk. Not so much with the promises. His first due date is August of this year. Here is a link to their release dates. http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Anticipated_release_schedule
We will see what happens when the time comes.


BTW i was burnt by Peter too.




Obviously you haven't done your research when it comes to this (and the release dates). They are focusing on PVP more than anything else. (So much so, it's pushing some people away)

I enjoy wild speculation threads.

White cheddar popcorn FTW.

The videos of Star Citizen make me drool. But then I think, wipe off the eye candy and will the game hold up?

Is this going to be a case of a slick looking Instanced game with no real consequence? Item shop and private servers makes me wonder what exactly is the big deal here. So you have a really cool ship, now what? Will you be able to fly to a far sector and crash a camp of pirate players and put it all on the line?

Sounds more like a better version of X3 with multiplayer aspects but not really an MMO. But I could be wrong. So forgive me for any errors in my post. But that is my impression so far.

Space citizen has only graphics, nothing more
