EVE General Discussion

Because they feel like it? I never got why people get so attached to the idea, that the game lore would be some kind of limiting factor for game design. The lore is there to explain the existing reality and limitations with a bit of flavor, but it's just words on paper. Lore is largely slave to gameplay. Even if you switch that around, the end result is the same. A few additional paragraphs will remove that artificial limitation without creating any conflict with the lore. If you feel lazy, you can just add something like: "X wasn't previously possible because of A and B, but recent technological advances have removed such limitation". It would then actually be against the lore to not allow such transfers for the players, so therefore it must be allowed. Either way problem solved.

Exactly this. When you're immortal and death doesn't really matter to you, you do whatever you feel like doing if you're that kind of person. On the other side, there might also be immortals who simply enjoy the freedom given to them to excel in several fields and not just one - Not all tasks can be forced to completion with starships.

Aside from that, people are only given the option to play in Legion and Valkyrie with the same character, they're not being forced to. They can still stay snobs if they want to :)

You can have combat clone beside of your pilot clone. So two sets of skillsets. Guristas virtualization will make your other skillset progress when you are in other clone. So not stopping learning anytime. One consciousnes, two skillsets.

I see it like that: You launch the EVE universe, then you have three options, Fighter pilot, capsuleer, and combat ground clone, the moment you choose one, think starting career, it will be your primary activity, and you would have to buy with ISK the Fighter or capsuleer clone just like you buy the clones in EVE. Then clones in every part of eve universe would take their own way with skillsets and ISK price.

While this sounds all well and good. CCP's history of delivering pipe dreams from Fanfest is about as good as my kill board. Fanfest typically shows off some Jesus feature that gets everyone excited and then CCP shift gears to focus on something else. It's just their nature. While what they propose would be interesting, I'll reserve my excitement for tangible product. After all they still need to fix so much of their broken game as it is.

More details: alts, we now have alts in EVE, so basically we should get new identity with a sum of 3 for one account in eve universe, for us these would be all 3 capsuleer ones, and every one could jump to a new career. One wallet for aurum and ISK. One economy, one market, just as they have been talking from beginning. That I want to see.

Its going to basically be an upgraded Dust, and its also run by management experienced in micro-transactions. If this isn't free to play, I would be very surprised.

Not too excited about playing an FPS that has a training queue. And requires ISK management and modules and fitting and whatnot. And has micro transactions. But I'll give it a try at least.

That's not technically hard. The EVE client and the launcher are two different apps. The launcher can be configured to launch any number of games they wish to script into it, and using a single account log-in.
