EVE General Discussion

So I've discovered Star Trek Online in Thursday. It has avatar gameplay, now I can't force myself to return to EVE...

P.S. STO simply copied "Pirates of Burning Sea" gameplay - I like it.

EvE is a pvp game. Deal with it.

here is your misconception everything in EVE is PvP and I do mean everything.


you're funny Ish

For the MILLIONTH TIME: When I say "PvP" in this thread, I refer to ship to ship combat.

Thank you.

Eve is a living work of Science Fiction, a sandbox mmo.


Star Conflict is a PVP game. You can fight all day, get paid cash, you don't lose anything when your ship blows up and there's no pesky clones.

Star Conflict is that way ---->

I refer to your earlier post that Eve is all about PVP, you reply as highlighted above is utterly random and adds nothing to the discussion.

You forgot to repeat the other EVE-O forum meme:

"EVE has sound?"
"EVE is a spaceship only game"
"May I have your stuff?"
"Nerf AFK cloackers"

And

"I'm not a moron, I'm only autistic plix help me to understand"

Problem is that spreadsheets in space don't sell that well, plus FIS only content will always remain niche. Times have changed and if CCP wants to stay on top of the game they need to pull a new rabbit out of the hat, whether that's WIS content or something else entirely is up to them. As it stands CCP are market leaders in what they do, if they fail to act and pull a shiny new and subscription selling rabbit out that hat they will become market followers. As a person who runs my owm company in RL I know which one of those two I'd rather be.

I think it would be cool if storyline agents actually came to see you personally.

Two very different games thankfully. SC is well past screenshots, with detailed ships present in the hangars, even if you can't do much with them besides hop in the cockpit, or walk around inside. Shaping up very nicely though.

Given the most common response in this thread is likely, "EVE is all about PvP," as usual, I don't think they are aimed at EVEs demographic at all. EVEs demographic has always been about large-scale alliance warfare, mining rocks in space, and shooting player or NPC ships in space.

Mission Runners, (Farmers), Miners (Farmers), and Alliance Fleets in a nutshell. There's also the players of the market and economy, and the players who just run around and do stuff. SC doesn't have the capacity for fleet warfare EVE has, nor is it expected to have farmable missions in the sense EVE does. Neither is it really expected to have the mass player driven economy EVE has.

What it does have, is the ability to move about as a player character, get in ships and fly them here and there, wander about inside them, board or repel boarders on your ships, shoot other ships or objects in space. Also: wander about on planetary locations and interact with other players, shoot other players in first person combat if you so desire and happen to be somewhere that is possible.

Also available: have your character die a grisly death, (permanently), explore space and venture into territory dominated by alien species that are potentially hostile, trade, etc.. A lot really. Quite a bit left to be determined.

It isn't EVE, and the general consensus is that nobody wants it to be. Not even remotely.
