EVE General Discussion

You sound very stressed out though in all your responses in this topic.

Because I'm posting from work while listening in on yet another scrum call. 2 weeks to code freeze and two months of dev work still to get done.

This is the stress that I play EVE ti escape from.

Go mine some spoud, then talk about how much isk/m3 all those null rocks pay.

Kind of funny how I was wondering how in depth Eve is on a galactic level. And bam! Out comes Odyssey.

I only spent an extremely short time in null as an industrialist (and I mean short). However nullsec is more difficult as when I tried to do the move I was only able to find pet alliances with renter corps that would allow industrialists. This gives access to jump bridge networks, but not a huge amount of access to alliance resources (such as freight.).

I could easily fill up an entire corporation hangar with my alt in a single session (prior to discovery Large/X-large ship assembly arrays 18m storage) which made storage pre-freight a massive issue. The fact of the matter a nullsec industrialist has to account for not only the time mining, but also the time and immense risk of hauling. You may get much higher payouts for your load, but the risk of loss is also much higher making it less attractive.

A lot of people, including yourself are forgetting that we'll have more details before the expansion drops. CCP has a fantastic history of dissiminating information before the expansion dates. Specifically at Fanfest. This is why the bigger, more awesome expansions happen during the summer.

Remember, the lack of information at this time is meant to create hype. It works, and I have a love-hate relationship with this style. However, this means those that go to fanfest get to be THE FIRST to get the juicy sexy details of the next expansion. We'll get the details.


With that said, you will know whether or not you'll be re-upping before your six month subscription expires. I recommend educating yourself prior to making yourself look less than mature.


I have to say this is by far the most childish thing I've seen in this thread so far. We have absolutely zero details on the specifics of how things will be implemented. We have words being used like redistribution but that does not have the same definition of elimination.

I will admit when they introduced obscenely priced micro-transactions I raged significantly. However, this type of behavior should be reserved for after you find out specifics. An "Everyone cancel their subs!" rampage is entirely uncalled for.

Maybe you should stop reading the EVE forums at work and do your job? I sense that will significantly reduce your stress as you'll actually be accomplishing things.

I'm still heartily excited for Odyssey and can't wait until fanfest begins and we get more details. I'm really, really hoping that exploration can be approached from a non-combat front. I'd love to be able to probe planets and bring back samples of rare minerals/elements etc that are turned in to player or NPC research corportions for use elsewhere. Or simple artifacts that are like commodities for the marketplace that are collectable and unable to be auto-linked or pulled from API that have snippets of EVE lore in their descriptions.

It would be a fantastic feeling to locate a planet and survey it only to find an artifact that suggested a Terran outpost once existed there. No imagine if you found that in w-space? I could imagine the collectibility of those artifacts to long time veterans such as myself....

Exploration that has no impact on gameplay, but complete impact on story. It would even be especially tantalizing if CCP ninja-added systems to the game for people to discover through exploration where they could find new artifacts/technologies to reveal to the EVE universe.

Take the video explaining the discovery of the implants used by dust bunnies. Explorers could find similar technologies intact and either use that intact piece or take it home and reverse engineer it for a chance to get a BPC or possibly even a BPO of said item...

Anyways, I digress. It should however be apparent that there is a great many possibilities for exploration and I am curious to see how CCP expands on it.

I just want to play like I'm in Star Trek. Wandering system to system, exploring. Interacting with the locals (players) and just finding new things, both beautiful and informative that don't require me to shoot things.

Thanks! ...and, SORRY! LOL.

Not that I warrant it but my post history should show I don't usually respond to those types of people, but... I couldn't help it.

Then be prepared to reap less benefits for your unwillingness in get involved with the rest of the community.

Ah, you beat me to it.

I hope you know that Sol is the name of our star,
which we also like to call Sun
and that i'm just misreading this as you believing Sol is the name of our system.

I don't know what's so juvenile about it. After giving it some thought, I reacted the same way and cancelled my accounts too so they wouldn't auto-renew in a couple weeks. I'm going to PLEX until Odyssey hits of course, but I'm not getting locked into any committments before I know the details of this resource "redistribution" either. As a high sec industrialist, I would be negatively impacted by virtually every scenario advocated by null players on these forums. If any of those ideas are implemented it could screw up my game. And as EVE is a game of linear progression, all progress made between now and then is potentially wasted time. So I can't agree that the reaction was childish. From my pov, it makes sense. Especially since I did the same thing.
