Subscribed to eve.

I will remember all these replies and who made them and laugh so hard once the DFM is released next month.....

dude, please. I can't be arsed to look more about SC, because you are making me hate the game quite alot


stupid thing tho, it's your and raven's fault. not the game.

I surely wouldn't have this accound subbed if i had to pay for it. Posting in this forum is somewhat entertaining.

No, it was specifically mentioned in may at that presentation which was done in the middle of april....It all depends on how many servers will be online to handle the multiplayer aspect of it.

A large amount of SC fans still seem to be "able" to wait despite the delays. The game is in developpment, so give it time. It seems that SC will have a much higher level of complexity then Eve ever had. Probalbly higher then anything that is being developped out there atm. So the delays are quite understandable. Its like developing the 787 or A380! The integration of newer technologies and new materials increases the challenge for the intergrators (Devs). Development delays are most likely to happen. This being said however, I am sure the patience of the SC backers will be seriously tested if delays annoucements keep rolling in. This of course will fuel the arguments of the SC haters (such as yourself). Surely, some of the less patient backers will turn away from SC if the delays are to long. The thing however, is that CR and is team seem to still be able to show that they are determined to bring the game to market, despite the issues they are encountering. So the level of SC fans is staying strong....for a while.

If you recall, Eve had a lot of issues and bugs when it 1st came out in 2003. It still has a lot of broken machanics and CCP do not seem to care much. CCP also broke a lot of promises they made and the player base's patience is probably being more tested then SC's atm.

Also, a lot of people seem to forget that there is another game changer that has the potential to hurt Eve (to some lvl). ED is just around the corner and is looking very promising.

This all being said, I do not think SC and ED will kill Eve....but they will surely hurt it!

You do realize though that EvE was not asking for money from propective players in 2000-2003 while they made it. They only asked for money when they said 'here we have a product come play with us'

I'm not anti SC, I think it will be a fine game, not my cup of tea, but fine. My issue is the fan boys who look at it like its been made by the hand of god. And he people who happily dump money to CR with nothing to show. Hell he even charged for the damn dogfight alpha.

I originally looked at this thread because I wanted more info on some of the game play, but then I saw people gleefully praising a new stretch goal, and when I researched and saw some of the ideas chris had and was going *wait what? that sounds lame why are people so gleeful about a stretch goal?* Even when I asked, no one decied to set me correct, I got more of "omg this will kill eve" So I looked more and found more I did not like, and then the drooling in here was too much, its an unreleased game. No it doesn't matter if Dogfighting is out tomorrow, or next week. You can be excited about something sure, but just assuming things when you ever played always sounds odd to me. And I see CR's vision as a Ponzi scheme, but hey if he wants to keep adding to his dev time that's on him.
