An Appeal to CCP's Ambition

Lately, I've been exploring different kinds of games that I don't normally play. I accidentally stumbled upon this, and I've never been a huge RTS fan but this game has grabbed me by the balls and won't let go.

There's one thing that's been really digging at me though, and digging hard - what if I could command fleets of Myrmidons and Megathrons, tactical destroyer battlegroups with assault frigate escorts.

CCP, I know you've been looking at expanding into new frontiers - your first attempt with DUST was admirable, but flawed; so too your VR only Valkyerie, which I will never experience because I'm just not interested in VR.

CCP, I'm appealing to your ambition here. Please make an EVE-based campaign-focused RTS.

Actually.... I'd try an EvE themed RTS, and I'm not a huge RTS fan.

On the other hand, an EvE 4X game would be all my YESAttention

That over-the-top trailer was excellent. Especially the hammy stage actor narration. But from the ship designs, think it should be Battlefleet Death Metal rather than Battlefleet Gothic.

EVE already is a 4X RTS...

Heh it's the 40K universe, metal is de rigueur for at least one of the factions.

Interesting side note, in the past Games Workshop did album art for a metal band and had a record label that dealt in thrash.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Sounds like you should be playing Battlefleet Gothic: Armada! (Website links are so much more USEFUL than YouTube entertainment!) Battlefleet Gothic: Armada seems to have everything you're looking for, and MOREl (it's already a thing!)

You could approximate that game here, though! All you have to do is get enough pilots to pilot the ships you want for your uber-fleet!! (yay! \o/). We call those .... FLEETS!! Yay!! To better organize all those players, we have things we call CORPORATIONS, and if your massive friends list is long enough those can be grouped into an ALLIANCE!!!

You don't have to change a thing about EVE at ALL!! (That is so cool!)

What would make THIS game perfect is if all the people who know "just how to make a game perfect" would just go play the game they want to play, and let us play this one here! Wouldn't that be NEAT??? Now...I know some of you veg-heads will say, "Hey, but how does a game develop without player input?" Well...quite well if that player input is DUMB!

Or...like WoW...if it "isn't". How's your panda, by the way?

If we get chased by zombies, I'm tripping you.

Do you even read? First of all, the game you linked, that's the one I've BEEN playing, silly potato.

Secondly, I never suggested changing EVE, I suggested making a whole new RTS based on EVE.

Never go full potato.

This trailer just shows how CCP is out of touch with reality.

There is nothing worthy in this world even if others think it is worth something...

That game is actually really fun. I played it for a while, then got bored... and wound back up in Eve. Those kinds of games are great for consuming the content over a dozen or a hundred hours but Eve has the kind of scale that just sticks with you and doesn't let go.

No doubt, but I would still buy an EVE-themed RTS.

QFT, now if only we could get CCP to ignore the cries of those that can't be arsed to help themselves.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Remiel, sir. I was surprised to see this post. I know where the link I posted sends you. (The ones on my website send you to the CIA and IRS. Feel lucky.) Inviting CCP to invest in yet another major project with no regard to the exigencies involved spurred my response, as you should well have expected.

If it works well, you might have a new product. Now all we need is for you, CCP and Stardock to decide it's a good idea to sell it.
