Depends on EVE era also. Anyone remember when Titans destroyed everything on grid and could send it through a Cyno?

What would happen is:

They'd all be going at each other in the biggest epic engagement ever with Tidi at 90+%, and Han Solo swoops in the Millenium Falcon and steals whatever it was they were fighting over with a YeeeeHaaaaa.

And Just as he thought he was home free, He'd be rammed and boarded by Mal and co in Serenity, who proceeds to shoot Chewy in the head without a second thought, takes said item and disappears before anyone else noticed.

Obviously!

That's a good point!

Penned up the idea of a crossover of Mass Effect and Eve once.

Threw it in the bin after a while, first rule of writing is that you can't make Frodo a Jedi without giving Mordor the Death Star.

Eve is industrialised to such a hideous degree we Total War drives its peacetime economy. The only match for New Eden would be WH40k, our Pilots are Immortal, can replace ships in hours or pull a fresh one out of storage as we conquer through attrition.

Any tech thrown down in front of our side can be salvaged, analysed and clumsily incorporated if we don't get it (Dustbunnys, T3 hulls ect). Mass Effect.... have a titan fire a DD at a Reaper and see what happens. Now see what a Conga line of them does.

On reflection before I post, the Culture of Ian M.Banks too.

Because gatecampers.

EVE, hands down.

Why?

None of the other settings are even nearly as destructive as EVE's. The XL weapons alone would punch holes in reapers (possibly the most potent 'normal' entity outside of EVE, not including stuff like the Q), let alone doomsday devices. HAving hundreds, even thousands of dreadnoughts available for each of the empires plus the vast amount of sub capital ships? Destruction on a galactic scale. None of the other settings come close.

Star Trek: The borg wouldn't be able to adapt to the massive amount of kinetic energy thrown their way by a quad 3500 cannon. Besides, most weapons in Star Trek are pathetic, and i say this as a trekkie.

Star Wars: Ships with barely any shields at all and construction that would make a Mexican hacienda look like a fortified bunker? Right. The death star is the one weapon with comparable firepower to anything in EVE, though im undecided whether it would be better than a Judgement.

Battlestar galactica? Smartbombs say hello! :)

Starship Troopers? Same there ;p

Stargate? The asgard would probably be too scared to do anything - Even if their firepower could match some Amarr boats they're simply vastly outnumbered. Plus dreadnoughts.

Mass Effect? The Reapers may pose a threat, but well, EVE fleets are MASSIVE. That plus the sheer destructive power would pretty much wipe the Reapers out if they dared attack.

Let alone that the defensive capabilities are also quite a lot better in EVE's setting since they're not laid out to only work as seperate entities. Spidertanking is an in-lore 'thing' and pretty much makes the difference here. All the other settings combined would probably not be able to break a what, 10-20 carrier/titan spidertank?


The only setting that would really rival EVE would be Stephen Baxter's Xelee Sequence. Try using entire galaxies as projectiles in a war covering the entirety of existence, not just one galaxy or a tiny part of it. The Xelee might even rival the Q in many ways.

Now say all that in relation to Jita which is where the OP said this shindig would take place. Hey hey, ho ho, them cap ships has got to go!

thanks alot

They'd be spammed and scammed in a heartbeat.

But someone would make a profit.
