Out of Pod Experience

There is a difference between botters and AFKers. Botters are using out of game tools to automate their in game activity. AFKers are using in-game tools to automate their in-game activity.

Not much of a different though.

If SC does have a mining system that prevents AFK mining, then it becomes a matter of convincing CCP to copy it to end AFK mining in Eve. Unless it's something silly like 'mining' in Freelancer.


Are they going with a newtonian or relativistic model ?

I'm not sure, all I ready was "your ships will have real physics and the server will be doing minute calculations to your position, like little thrusters will be going off to keep you stable..." All I hear is "a lot of ships together = lag"

You can only have one forum character but unlimited in-game characters, so I guess I won't be offering ship trading services and honest investment funds on the forums under different characters.

But they seem to completely miss the fact that we can use our Eve-trained out of the box thinking to handle any game mechanic or rule. For instance, what's to stop our pirate corps from ganking ships and allowing our high sec alts scoop the loot? Even if scooping loot raises a suspect flag, we can just use pirate characters to scoop, then immediately jetcan to an alt or at a nearby station.

I wasn't going to say it publicly, but I would very much like to organize such fun activities. I totally agree we should gate camp them into highsec with pirates and haul the loot with our honourable citizens, perhaps in a convoy lol

It doesn't matter so much who runs everything- perhaps just an alliance or coalition of sorts, but guys we have got to get a bunch of Eve guys together to share the joys of the sandbox with millions of SC players in some sort of organized fashion.

I suspect we will run into a character named DSI FackOfLaith. Brilliant disguise!

I guess i'll spend some time researching SC.. maybe I can think of other ways to torcher the SC bears... crap and i'm a carebear in eve... oh well, as I said, eve has corrupted me.

By the way guys, they get really mad when we use Eve terminology. Can someone go ahead and make a Star Citizen wiki, but instead of the terms they want us to use, make those secondary terms to Eve's. For example, high sec, tackling, awox, etc.

I'd love if new players start using phrases such as "haha, that ganker got Concorded," with SC bitterbackervets raging over the terminology that gets accepted by the broad playerbase.

Lol...


Nice Thread ^_^

haha bitterbackervets. I like that.

I want those early backers to complain that most.

Or do they already complain alot?

this makes me want to trash a PLEX for the good of EVE.

A lovely quote from my very first corp director!

We may have to put that in the corporate literature. All Eve players are welcome to join upon confirming within Eve that it is indeed their character. I believe, together, we can make all the SC pubbies join a sister renter corp!
