Looks great. I wish eve's solar system map looked like their art concepts.

If you ask me, elite dangerous is a bigger threat to eve than star citizen. I'm only in eve because it was the closest thing to elite I could find in an mmo when I joined. I played elite in the 80s, happy memories..

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

I will have to disagree on that. CCP have told us from the start that Elite was the game that inspired them the most. Right now though, the core planned payer experience is very, very different from one game to the other. Really, it is comparing apples to oranges, especially since EvE has been built around player interaction and EDs statement is to have players being part of the environment.

I play both for different reasons, and continue to do so after launch..C:

LOL @ the bobblehead pirate(?) on the ships console in "Impeccable Stunts". Nice touch.

Elite II was the first space sim I ever played, and is the reason I gave Eve a try when I started out my time as a pod pilot. It's amazing to see what they are doing with Dangerous.

Profit favors the prepared

I have it, it looks nice but I'm not impressed. If you take away all the hype it's worse than X3 and because you can only have 32 max players per instance makes it pretty much a single player grind simulator. To me that's a missed opportunity and a complete waste of talent, money, time and effort.

Yes, yes I am. Thanks for noticing.

Still updating ...

... thanks for the feed, keep it up!

Ironically I came to EvE last year because of E:D and SC ... I decided to bridge the time till E:D and SC hits the market with some space MMO training. Now I'm looking forward to some serious free time management issue LolUgh

Lol, found someone who never played the original ELITE. Big smile

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.
