So does this mean we will now start seeing more Mecha type star ships that transform? there's your Dust 514 interaction right there.

Ultima Online had a large Japanese playerbase, race wars were always extremely fun with them.

Im honestly surprised that there isnt more organized large scale conflict with the russians... historically languge and culture barriers are huge conflict points in online games. It neatly organizes everyone into us vs them and helps get rid of smaller squables.

Come to think of it, what is the most contested front lines in EVE these days? Are there even any major conflicts at hand?

Japanese tend to be courteous and industrious team-players.

I'm less afraid of the "courteous" and more afraid of the "industrious team-players"

I know this will come to pass, but i personally find it silly for people to band together based on "nationality".

People should band together because of common interests. Language might be a barrier tomany, but still... a game gives the perfect oportunity to delve and train another language.

Hilarious.

Google translate is much better because i uses crowdsourcing to fix errors and improve translations.

There's also how they track your IP there and record everything you type in, to combine with all the info they gathered about you from Youtube and Gmail, which i think everyone agrees is not worrying at all.

i have utterly destroyed many a japanese in multiple games. i understand how they play and act.

they will work hard, they will probably share many resources as well and help each other in times of need.

Yes, you alone have done what no intelligence agency has been capable of doing. Roll

I don't think you understand that there is a pretty hefty language barrier preventing that from happening and using an online translator to communicate is how you will accidentally start a war.

What they said: "I think it would be a good idea to band together and defeat our common enemy.

What the translator says: "Band together in defeat? I think you are our common enemy"

We will defame, castrate, and destroy each other with the ruthlessness that only siblings can generate, as regardless of our country of origin we are all children of EVE.

Only problem with that is they will kill some Titans, but the Supercarriers won't be there.

Eventually, after a series of tactical blunders, they will be forced back to their small island of sov and eventually be nuked into submission.

You might have concerns if Bushido wasn't just a fairy tale these days along with the realities of a culture imploding as it's male base becomes more and more strikingly effeminate.

Don't lose any sleep space friends, the worst they can do is get a knicker vending machine put in the Nex store.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

I couldn't care less really, so long as they don't do the same stuff Russians do.
I think CCP should setup a Russian only server for most of them, with the ones willing and able to speak freakin english, being allowed on Tranq.

Actually language becomes a barrier only if you make no effort to speak/write it and you give credit to idiots acting like 8YO kids because they think they're smarter than everyone else while usually they can't even write or speak their own language properly (my favourite idiots)

Ho and, \o/ (welcome) to all Humans living in Japan and speaking/writing several languages and enjoying important internet space ships game.
Let's pvp all together or against each other, lets have fun yey Lol
