EVE General Discussion

its just part of the same silly lore that says the 1 isk you can't buy anything with can feed an entire planet of "regular folks" for a lifetime

now thats just being extreme. it was a single family's parent-and-children retirement.

but it is NOT without merit to say ISk is INCREDIBLY mroe valuable per unit than planetary currency, do to economics of scale.

banks use 1000 and 10,000 USD notes when trading between eachother, most normal people would rarely find the occasion to use a 100 note, and that is considered huge, but again, banks trade the 1/10k notes by the thousands.

thats just between 2 banks, between any 2 countries your talking scales large enough they can no longer use physical money, so they trade large amount of goods or digital notes.

were talking a multi-factional galactic empire scale economy, with capsuleers each operating as the equivalent of an independent nation.

the scale of that makes it not hard to believe that a capsuleer could easily pay for crews to a single ship with pocket change.

If you want Star Citizen features, you should stop playing this sad game of EVE and play Star Citizen when it comes out.

You'll never see WIS and crew in EVE so might as well play a game which can do that.

Also X Rebirth...

Stop asking this old dog to learn new tricks. Its only a little while longer because EVE catches rabies and you have to take it out back with a shotgun.

the gss boosh is crewed by the finest crew of male exotic dancers.

I think what OP means, is to have a crew like STO what you can train and replace them. Its sounds cool and it is like in STO but in eve well i think thats a great move to let people to play more so the crew gain standerd XP like all other mmorpg. So people that play more gain more XP while SP farmers gain nothing.

This will boost up the game in time to. Yah i agree sounds great OP.

Indeed. A experienced crew will give you an Edge.

Crew works good in EVE lore and fiction but EVE lore and fiction are often at complete odds with the realities of game play. Boarding actions are a fine example. And I would love to see the recruitment adds placed by a serial suicide ganker. The lore and fiction are best dismissed as melodramatic dreck written for people who like that kind of stuff and the game is best played for itself.

Not true, the rabies would be unleashed by rabid nullseccers on carebear miners. I for one welcome the addition of rabies and biological warfare to eve.

Yeah, but Whoopi didn't explode routinely and wake up as a clone, only to rejoin Picard on a new ship and go back to waxing philosophical and making drinks for the rest of the crew... who were also all just cloned and rejoined the bar scene on said new ship. There's just way to much to explain there... and way too much to compensate for every time you get popped by someone.

Simply put, we aren't supposed to "know" our crews because they are vast, expendable and die often. Horribly. How we would ever work that into day-to-day EVE life is beyond me.

Well, yes, this too.
Who would apply to join a crew of a spaceship where the pilot don't really give a **** because whatever happens he'll reborn in a brand new medical clone? :)
