EVE General Discussion

nah what's gonna happen is that when EVE moves past windows XP, you're going to switch to a windows mobile device because Microsoft is eliminating the barrier between system architecture between desktops and mobile devices

That has everything to do with server performance, and not client. Besides, TiDi applies to the whole node, which is usually a collection of several systems (that don't necessarily have any connection to each other) so computation for this entire collection of systems may be enough to trigger TiDi. I've had 30% TiDi in my ratting system in Tenal when I've been the only person in local. It could be that some random system in, say, Period Basis had a large fleet moving through and it happened to be on the same node as the system I was in.

I have flown around using a vpn (sidesteps the hardware requirements), was no difference than using a mouse.
Keyboard was a downer as it took up half the screen but that is fixable by getting a slider instead of a virtual.
Even scored a kill with it.

Okay, this was discussed several times, you cannot compare those two different worlds (PC and tablets / smarts). Its just like comparing bicycle sales compared to enormous automobile sales.Yes PC segmet is decreasing but thats not sing of "PC is dying". Its just sign that "everyday" people just dont need huge powerful PCs or laptops for their every day use (internet, facebook, mails, movies, music, casual games etc...). . That means that 10 years ago, there were no alternatives. We had black /white "dumb" phones, ARM was just only at the begining (pocket PCs) of course that PC were raising in sales because people wanted to surf internet, they wanted to play casual games... Now with the tablets on market, tablets perfectly suites for AJUs (Average Joe Users) usage and , of course, they dont need Core i7s with 16gb ram for such "primitive" tasks. But PCs will alwasy be "must have" for households, as a computing center for more serious work (like writing long word documents, large spreadsheets, editing huge photos like panospherical panoramas, video editing etc, simply everything that need raw computing power). And also hitech enthusialist gamers will always incline to modifiable and upgradeable PC rather than tablets or consoles. (please no flame war, consoles are great, but im writing about HITECH ENTHUSIALISTs which wants cutting edge graphics on multi monitor setups etc)



NO WAY !!! No ports !!!. Yes, I would like to see some station game too (station trading, poker with your corpmates etc), It should interact with real world of eve (like dust), but NO PORTS. That would mean compromises and thats no good (just look at Windows 8 - not bad system but too many compromises in favor for touch devices = not using full potential of PC interface = less effective ) EVE NEEDS hardware keyboard shortcuts and pixel accurate mouse. Something you cannot emulate on touch screen devices.




As far as PC will be here (and believe me, it will) EVE never dies. In fact EVE is maybe the last of the games (not indie) that are complicated (which is good) with steep learning curve and it uses full potential of PC interface (5 fingers on HW keyboard + 2-5 fingers on mouse+ XY movement of mouse). EVE NEEDS many information on the screen, EVE needs to be interacted swiftly with pixel accurate mouse pointer and it needs small icons and many informations on screen.




I agree with that larger user base. Thats why im pro-separate mini games for arm (like dust) but im strictly againist multiplatform EVE which would lead to game full of compromises and restrictions.

Yes, they announced they will do this as soon as all forum posters search before starting ridiculous threads.

EVE MUD FTW I would play this.
