What's the most underrated scifi franchise in your opinion?


Q: Since this question was asked and CCP manifest posted: The last starfighter - do I detect some hidden fandom in the design department, which maybe lead to some of the design basics found in the new SoE ships ?

I do agree with CCP manifest's answer, one of my favorites.

How often do you play Eve with a normal character, what are you currently doing, and what are your short and long-term goals as a player?

What's your favorite solo ship?

CCP Veritas,

It seems to me that Eve's biggest limitation right now is the 1-solar-system-per-CPUarchitecture. My view is that in order to take this game forward, a more parallel architecture will need to be incrementally created:

a) do you agree?

b) is the work underway yet?

Many thanks,

R

Any chance of a large deployable storage unit? Think very big GSC. I make it balanced it could limited to being deployed very large distances from other objects (including from asteroids).

how much do you eve devs regret using single threaded stackles python (and essentially being stuck with it now) for most of the eve code on a scale of 1-10?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

This needn't be such a problem if stackless instances on separate cpus/machines use a fast messaging bus to distribute load.

Right, Veritas?

Since the thread is still open and I can't get on the stream at the moment, perhaps we could reopen this session for a very important question. I figure that since CCP guys are willing to get tattoos or get shot with paintballs for charity, this would make a fine addition.

For a new milestone in isk raised, might a CCP employee be willing to write PLEX4Good on his chest with some office break room condiments and share with us a photograph?

Coffee creamer and hot chocolate mix with a little bit of water makes a nice paste if there isn't something more handy such as peanut butter or mayo. A coworker's lipstick could also work.

I bet certain communities such as Minerbumping and Belligerent Undesirables might be able to raise additional funds for other messages as well. Does anyone else have some suggestions to make this better?

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

When you first touch your mouse is it the right button or the left that a finger goes for first?


Also why in Ikami is there a ball of light flashing from the 4th planet to the Sun whenever I go into my POS?
Its very mesmerizing.
