Out of Pod Experience

I will just link the timestamp for the dogfighting test (1:26:05 and onwards)

Warning: massive salivation, stressful wide eye opening and unprompted OMFGing may occur.

Oh, and they're just a couple thousand dollars away from making the 35th million... but that will be news tomorrow.

looks way better than EVE....Check.
Has realistic physics for the ships...Check.
Has joystick support and plays in first person view...Check.
Has oculous VR support for those wearing VR heatsets for ultimate immersion...Check.
Has way more realistic damage models where ships will be falling to pieces by enemy gun fire....Check.
Has the same G force effect that make todays pilots pass out in extremely demanding maneuvers...Check.



I can see why some hard core EVE fans try to say it's crap before even trying it to begin with.....

Dogfighting module comes out in 2 months from now, so it won't be a long wait.....

And, 35 million reached.

This goal has been achieved through contributions from existing pledgers but also with pledges from over 6,000 new pledgers.

The 35 million stretch goal was the unlocking of a specialyzed information runner ship:

Drake Herald – Knowledge is power, and one of the most valuable commodities is pure information: the 1s and 0s behind everything from UEC ledgers to Citizenship ratings. Whether it’s colonists struggling to stay in contact with the UEE’s central worlds or criminals trading in illicit data, there will always be a need to securely move data. The Drake Herald, small, armored ship, is designed to fit that need and safely get that information from Point A to Point B. Featuring a powerful central engine (for high speed transit and generating the power needed for effective data encryption/containment), advanced encryption software and an armored computer core, the Herald is unique among personal spacecraft in that it is designed to be easily ‘cleaned’ when in danger of capture. The Herald includes an array of heavy duty internal options for data protection, including redundant power subsystems and EMP shielding, and a high-powered broadcast array for data transmission.

The goal for the 36tth million was voited by the community and willb ea star system showing a blach hole event horizon.

The goal for the 37th million stretch goal has been voted as a stelar graveyard:

Tanga System – At the heart of an unusual rectangular planetary nebula (see reference), lies Tanga System. The inner planets engulfed the star entered the red giant phase. The expanded habitable zone unfroze a small world on the former outer ring and for several hundred million years made it habitable. Life began to emerge and was just reaching a primitive state when the star collapsed into a white dwarf, throwing the planet back into a deep freeze, then blasting the atmosphere away with the resulting planetary nebula. That’s how the system was found: Only two worlds (speculation that there could have been three to four more) but both are dead planets with no atmosphere.

Voting for the 38th million goal is going on.

Is a multiplayer game not an MMO
Doesn't have a proper economy
Isn't made yet - Therefore too early too get man juice yet.

As was said before, a lot of games offered all this promise and wound up bombing, so i'll believe it when I see it. But I personally doubt i'll ever leave eve, so meh

You will be back though. Everyone comes back eventually.

Yes, and currently that's the main thing going on with "new players characters".

Off topic Post regarding another game with no input to the discussion at hand removed.

I feel like no game will be everything for everybody.
I encourage everyone who is curious about Star Citizen to try it when it releases.

Eve will be there when you find out it is not perfect either.
Come back to Eve and tell your CSM rep how Eve can be better.

Everyone Here who stays subbed and work hard everyday, (Either at CCP or as Players Creating Content) will be trying to make Eve the best it can be.

Lessons will be learned. Either way.

Arguing about a game that is not actually competition until it releases is just ship spinning.

That is as maybe but both of these games are at their core games about spaceships. Elite is one of the first games I played and the Wing Commander | Freelancer | X-Wing | Tie-Fighter games all have space combat as their core gameplay. Not that I have any objection to avatar gameplay, the original concept of WiS as most ppl understood it before Incarna was as an extension of the Eve Universe where avatars would let us do stuff like gambling, smuggling, assasination etc not just stand around posturing as in Terra
