EVE General Discussion

I dont think I will leave EVE for SC but if I do I wont feel bad... I got almost 11 yrs in playing this game and that seems like a pretty good run.

Before coming to EVE I played Jumpgate for 2 yrs and I still miss that joystick and newtonian flight model over just point double click and then just bounce off of things. Still like probably 2 yrs before SC comes out (they say next yr but games like to promise things early).

So if I leave EVE and shouldn't have been here in the 1st place its more that EVE is starting to get stale and so much different then it was before alliances of thousands.

U might need to report the thread and then make the comment to try get the mods to Close it for that reason...

made to last, but never change?

Something like that

Eve is tougher than it looks. It will be very interesting to see how resilient Elite and Star Citizen are to the levels of meta gaming than is taken for granted in Eve.

I think Chris Roberts and David Braben may well get their hearts broken a bit when the games go live. They can seem a bit naive at times.

How cute. Another "EVE is not the way I like it, and devs won't change it so it is! So other games must be better!" thread.

Really? So lets look at Star Citzen and eve side by side (note this info might be a bit old and changed)

EVE's economy is player driven, with a few npc orders (bpo's and trade goods) the economy is a capitalist/free market guys wet dream. You make something you set the price. Supply and demand determins if its sold at that price
Star Citizen (SC for the rest of this post) Is NPC driven. You control 'nodes' and use these to make stuff for the npcs in the universe. NPC's set the prices

In EvE when a ship blows up the attacker can loot the wreck
In SC this is not the case

In EVE you can control a star system, build a station and defend it.
As far as I know this is not going to happen in SC

When you die in eve you are recloned to start again, and if you were not careful lost skill points
In SC... dieing is, according to CR, a rare event. When your ship blows up the escape pod is towed to a medical facility and your body takes damage, over time you will have a perm death and have to reroll a char, all your assets will go to this 'next of kin'

EvE has a real time xp and skill system
SC has no skill system

EvE is a single server
SC will be many servers

EvE is real time
SC is instanced

In eve, if I undock in jita, I see everyone in jita that's undocked with me
in SC if I dunock from earth I will only see who is in my instance, no one else exist for me.

in eve I can pvp anywhere I want, with some consequence. But I can't avoid it.
IN SC I can avoid all pvp. According to some pvp in high sec in sc will be near impossible.

in eve I can gank (kill) miners and defencless ships to get there goodies inside
In SC... you can't, unless they are set to allow pvp, or SC's chance based system lets you... and there will be nothing to loot

in SC I can fly in planets
Eve I can not

in sc I can board and hijack ships... if they are in my instance and have pvp on and I have buddies to help me
in eve I can not.

Honestly, neither game are alike. A few parts of SC I might enjoy, some just sound bonkers to me. But that's just me

I like KSP. It isn't meant to be EVE. Hell I play it by abusing physics and mucking around rather than successful flights.

I am checking EVE forums sometimes - to see if my toon got in-game mails and re-queue 20+ days skills once in a blue moon. I guess CCP count me as "active subscriber". But I am playing *the other* space game - with avatars (no, it's not SWTOR - which surely sucks).

Maybe EVE has future - but without me. And that's my opinion even before release of two other MMO sandbox space games.

Just because there are other space themed games doesn't mean they will be the same as EVE and offer the same experience.

EVE appeals to a certain type of person, just like someone who plays ARMA won't necessarily enjoy Call of Duty, and vice versa, they may both be FPSes, but they don't off the same experience.

Duh
