Out of Pod Experience

more like talking how Elite is so much better... yet you all still here

Nobody said it is better. It is very empty of content at the moment, just for starters (a mile-wide lake one-inch deep, said someone). Yet also is a different game than EVE, an alternative if you want to, and unlike EVE it is starting up rather than struggle to not stagnate after 12 years doing the same.

Be them shorter or longer, Elite: Dangerous still haves its course ahead, whereas EVE is leaving its course behind.

You should read the OP again, "Elite is better" is not what says there.

No, ED won’t kill eve on line as we are speaking about two completely different games.
Eve, has lot of contents but basically is a “click, click, click” game, no strategy during fights, horrible fleet battles, and worst of the worst (for me), it doesn’t allow the player to fly his ships.
But every person is different, with a different taste.

Even if (and when) ED or SC will be fully developed, EVE on line will still exist, the “hardcore” eve gamers are divided into four main groups:
1- The superheroes: the group which sees his KB page as a bible, they don’t understand it is just an HTML page which doesn’t make them stronger or better in RL
2- The rich ones: they play for rising isks, they feel rich, their eve account is richer that their bank account but they feel fulfilled anyway.
3- The chatters: they play mostly because they have some friends, maybe playing in front of a cup of tea/coffe or ice cream while they do a sort of “public relation” in chat
4- The gamers: they play eve like any other game, they aren’t hardcore, they might be part of one of the previous groups but aren’t so “motivated”.

I think ED might steel just some players from the 4th group, it might deliver what group 1,2 and 3 are looking as well with one exception:
In ED you NEED to learn how to fly your ship, is a simulation, eve is not, so it’s more difficult

I personally love the world of Eve, what I totally dislike it the absence of strategy (like the chance to divert the power of the ship to engines weapons or shield), positioning (during battles), ecc… ecc… you just have to click and enter F keys.

P.S. If someone is going to ask, my account is plexed with isks, that's why I am still an active player, will switch to Ed once is better developed .

Yeah? So what.

Fact: Human beings are incapable of playing more than one computer game.

These trolls are becoming sour. The bridge is collapsing. There are few unwary travelers left.

Heh, in the latest live presentation we have:


1: The new retalialiator which looks stunning.
2: The new procedural damage modeling system that allows to cut shipouss to pieces and show surface damage depending on the weapon type that it was hit with.
3: The explorer mode that allows free flight, and landing and takeoffs on planets.
4: A 70 mission single player campaign.
5: The social module is due for early april.
6: A/C 2.0 using multicrew ships is due for june.
7: Client weighs in at 100 GB once the game hits release in 2016, and patches from that point onwards, can be as large as 20GB a pop.


And finally, I see DA REAPER eating a lot of crow for the 4 years of badmouthing a game that would never release, that's a scam, that's too ambitious, that will never live up to the hype.....You name the excuse, he said it likely dozens of times....:P

It's too far away for me to attend.


As for the rest, I guess the time for you to eat industrial amounts of crow is getting ever closer...So bad mouth for as long as possible i guess...:P

Yep, it's significantly easier to fly with your friends in a group now. You can now see where they are at and what they are targeting, ship scans are now shared too along with bounties and exploration data. Anyone who is with you in your wing can also get a percentage of your trading profits. Also traveling in group is actually a thing now.

I have been messing with the Vulture myself. It's a really fun ship to fly with the large hard points on a small ship. Has excellent maneuverability and a good shield generator.

They also have increased bounties so that it's more balanced with trading which is a very welcome addition.

Just dropping this.
