Pretty sure it'll be at least as "fun" as EVE is (though obviously different and subjective definitions apply).

I am really curious how you can say it will surely AT LEAST be as much fun if you haven't even seen anything close to the end result yet let alone having played it.

About 14 C-Bills. United Earth Credits were superceded by Terran Hegenomy Bonds, which in turn were superceded by the Star League Dollar, which officially collapsed in 2780, and was replaced by the ComStar Bill, the value of which is set in relation to the cost of Hyperspace Pulse Generator use.

so, uh, it's one united states dollar

to put that in terms we'd more easily comprehend, the conversion is about seventy or eighty goldfish to a monocle

It does seem like SC is pitching to a different audience, I don't see dogfighting really that good for fleet combat, perhaps even for having an interestingly balanced ship range with different gun mechanics (due to manual orbiting / manual tracking mechanics), and a mostly-npc-based market/industry just seems a little bit tepid from a sandbox point of view - whereas nearly every activity in Eve affects the downstream gameplay in some way.

Having said that ED looks more promising, my worry is that the 400 billion solar systems they want to introduce will be too big to provide any kind of multiplayer experience, or feeling that you're interacting with any real players at all.

This.

Of course, it would be fun to log on right at launch- go out and discover all 400 billion systems, and name them all "EvE Rocks!" or somesuch- but I'm sure others already thought of that.

Well, maybe not a "movie" but a commentary I found on youtube.

I agree with some points but not with all. In short, I really don't think EVE has anything to worry about with SC.



PS. I don't believe "the Eve community is resistant to change without there being major backlash." If anything, the EVE community is resistant to BAD "change" (*cough* Incarna *cough*).

We all still want WIS...but not a half assed job rushed out the door just to meet a deadline. Then telling us that staring at a static door instead of your ship's hangar is a good thing, while devs sing the "greed is good" theme song.


Can you please stfu about that? Making useless topics for a other game lol. Those trolls.... Stop being bored and go play a game stop posting nonsense about a discussion that's not needing.

That's right, it's probably better to compare Star Citizen directly to Valkyrie.

SC is just a game, at least for now. EVE is parallel universe, multiverse, whatever fits with huge reality not virtual one.

Take away the economy of Eve & I doubt any of us (even PvPrs) would be playing it.

The player driven economy has actually become a deterrent for me. Have you taken a look at ship prices lately? 200m isk for a battleship. It's ******* insane.

I'll be completely honest with you, I wouldn't give a rats balls who sold me the ship, an NPC or a player, just so long as I could buy one and get back in the fight.

I don't think star citizen has any choice but to be instanced since the graphics are nuts on everything, so if even a high end computer is struggling to maintain FPS at 60 when playing at the highest detail settings with 8 ships on screen in a vandull swarm map.


One can imagine having 50 ships in a big fleet fight, users wants to play at the highest quality settings, there's ships of all sizes in that fleet, all the way to carriers shooting each other( ought to be a blast seeing the progressive damage they take), or needing to be boarded while in the fight( kinda like what prophecy video shows really), and having anything even remotely resembling playable frame rates.


Eve is fun, and yes we can have 500+ player fights, but even when lowering all the graphics settings to the minimum, viewing the action as far away as possible and still putting up with the time delay feature while doing no better than 30 Fps in a mouse clicking game that isn't really piloting anything......No thanks.

thing vs thing is setting it wrong as well as this is nothing like this.

game need to be good to match or great to dominate not similar or copy.

It doesn't need to be single core cpu python based, player market, mouse click pvp, terrible pve to be contender or winner.....it can be different / better.

wow clones can testify to that.
