EVE General Discussion

I'd much rather see a TV show about the EVE Universe focus on the initial colonization of New Eden. The colonization of the Milky Way, the discovery of the EVE gate, the start of the colonization of New Eden and subsequently the result of the EVE gate closing and leaving everyone stranded and eventually, at the end of the series, the first steps into space and the encounters with the other empires. From there we, the players, got to fill in the blanks.

That, imo, would be much much much more interesting than a TV show that translates gameplay into story driven narrative.

1) rather watch paint dry
2) would be hilarious, but would this only include successful or also the 95% of the failed scams?
3) too much swearing to fit under PEGI 12
4) even more swearing than 2, also high chance of religious propaganda being spewed
5) "Waiting for jump cap is the high point of my day!"
6) this would be awesome if done in the way as "real criminals" have a silhouette and changed voice
7) probably the best chance of actual content, but would boil down into "I'm going to plunder your exploration ship with my cynabal" vs. "Oops, +2 in local, better run and hide!"

Edit: I mean, there is a script to be had, but explaining how the game works would take a normal 42min (US) or 54min (EU) episode itself and the meaty part would most likely take too long to actually start. It could be run as an expanding story starting at one end of a supply chain (hi or null) and expanding on what dangers there are to get the chain finished, somewhat like this:

Null CEO "I need things here to erect a POS for supercaps"
Buys stuff, dodging all the "WTB PLEX 160MIL!" scams in local, acted by a shady looking dude trying to sell you cows as POS fuel or something.
Hisec freighter (alt obviously) hauls stuff from Jita, dodging suicide gankers on the way.
Swapping to a JF in some hisec system to jump to low to a midpoint cyno.
Dodging and/or fighting pirates at mid-point (drama requires to jump into a crowded system, not like you should do), possibly hot dropping capitals.
Finding out that a corp thief was actually flying that JF and manages to stal that + all the POS mods with fuel to a rival alliance.

Now that I typed it, it sounds boring or has to be heavily truncated to fit into 1-3 episodes. I guess hollywood eggheads would be able to write characters and their stories for 3 seasons before action starts.

Finally someone with a little sense.....

If we could get Stephen Donaldson to do the script writing...

Take my money..

agree. but this will not be film "about Eve".... this will be film "about Eve lore".

Any EVE movie doesn't have to be expensive.

Case in point: BABYLON 5.

All those years ago, five (5) Amiga computers slaved together to do the graphics and a bunch of mobile stage sets that were regularly rearranged to create new parts of "the station".

That was it, give or take a few rubber plants.

2 threads same topic?

When the film is made I want to play me. Well, not this me playing me but this me playing that me! M'kay? tyvm!

All this while the music plays....

It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.
But I´ll be fine.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.

I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long road.

Is that what you really want?

I know I dont.
