Out of Pod Experience

The multi crewed ship s for me ios a massive biggy.

I love the idea of working as a team to build something and then everybody be fly that something.

Take the corvette for example.

You as a team build it and then you as a team are able to fly it... 1 actually flying the ship, 2 - 3 others flying the fighters which are docked and then a couple of others manning the guns.

I love this idea..

Remember ST:O?

As I said, I think the only people who will replace EVE with this game would've replace EVE for just about anything. This includes a PS4, a new TV show, maybe a game they played before, and so on. So in reality it's not a EVE killer, but like everything it is a threat. Now the level of this is still questionable, but I hope it's a serious threat. Not so much that it kills parts of EVE or makes it where CCP has to do a 180.
But, competition of any type is a good thing. However, the best competition is ones that's a serious threat. Other words there is no real reason to keep up with the user demands and to innovate the market.


Anyways, what you brought up was very important to note. One thing I would like to add on to what you said is to buy in all the hype. It doesn't matter what company I've seen that uses hype. Almost all the company can not deliver on all of it's promises. Also, we must watch out for the wording they put out. I think game companies are worst than politicians when it comes to wording something that sounds so sweet, but it turns out to be something you already have or worst. A few examples I can give is the newest SIm City (5), the newest Hitman game, the newest Assassins Creed, and the worst would be Fable 2 and 3.
Right now they haven't promised and shown much. Everything they promised so far can be done with a handful of amature video game makers. That's why I only invested $40 into them.

However, the potential is there. That's why everyone is so excited about this game.

This is sort of like comparing circuit racing such as F1, Indy & NASCAR to the NHRA. While you can certainly make a case to compare any of the former three, there is not much in common with the NHRA other than it is a type of racing.

Sure, SC will be an MMO of sorts with in-game economies and yadda yadda but at the end of the day it is still a twitch based fighter sim MMO and will appeal largely to a different crowd than EvE does.

I am a proud Kickstarter Backer for it and will simply wait.

Worst case scenario I will lose 20$ , middle ground scenario I get a new shiny game to play for a couple months and ...

Best case scenario I will have a SECOND MMO to call home when I am bored of the puerile talk in the ingame channels and people complaining about their ex-wives, lack of women, lack of sex, horrendous grammar in at least two languages, racism, Latinamerica versus Spain, sexually confused teenagers posing as adult men, guys that share strange porn, people confessing to pseudo-illegal sex habits and whatnot ... sometimes I wonder why I go into SPANISH, but then, some cool people there ... MINING is a bit more lively, with the free bounties and tranny pics, but I am derailing ...

But yes, when I am a bit bored of EVE I hope I can jump into SC and do something interesting.

Yes. Piloting my own ship would be a huge improvement over the way EVE ships move. Dots in space with heading

I don't believe thats true. I just think too many media outlets perpetuate that lie but some things I've read over the last few years tells me the number of people who play on PC's is still up there. Sure a lot of them own consoles now, but in their house PC Gaming is the rule...

But you have good posts pal...
