No Sh!t, Spock!
ST:O would function just about as well as a single player game with Online Team Deathmatch.
I have my suspicion that it's only called ST:O so they could use Ubisoft's DRM without the backlash.

So the author that doesn't like the science fiction genre writes an article attempting to compare the two "top contenders" in space MMOs? The article series seems like one that's designed just to stir up contraversy and draw attention and impassioned arguments to the site.
Either way, I thought I'd see what the STO community's reaction to the article was, presuming they had noticed it. Sure enough, there was a threadnaught.

Edited by: Akita T on 20/10/2010 06:47:01 Now that was a perfectly awful little biased EVE-sugar-coating article. Not that ST:O wasn't presented in a rather mild light, it got far higher marks than it probably deserved. I'd basically halve most of the scores presented there. The ratio still stands though _

The word fair has no place in a competetive business environment like the MMO market. Fair's big brother, realism, also has priority over such fanciful "what if STO could timetravel to the past" -fantasy type comparisons. You compete and are compared to what is actually on the market, and not to how other products happened to be over half a decade ago.

IF EVE payers fought ST:O players, this is why we would win:
1) Their biggest vessel is no bigger than a battleship.
2) They all shield tank, and everyone knows that shield tanking in a fleet is a bad idea...
3) They don't have good logistics.
4) We have capital ships <3

Sadly I still have about 4 months I have left on the year sub I got to STO before it was even started... Then I found EVE granted I did max out 3 toons before they redid all the crafting stuff makeing it tons easyer. I don't even have STO installed on my computer any more and im up to 3 EVE accounts im never going back and yes EVE vs ST EVE would destory them we would even kill off the Borg

As much as i like Eve. If it comes to ship to ship combat Star Trek would win hands down. A stupid Frigate from Star Trek would Roflpwn an Eve Dreadnought. Star Trek technology borders on magic. They moved a friggin MOON with their warp engines, and let's not forget the I win setting on the deflector dish. torpedo that can crack a planet. They've harnessed the power of black holes. And invented some weird red goop they keep in a fancy lava lamp that creates artificial blackholes. One Startrek ship let loose in the eve universe would be like setting loose godzilla on the ancient Romans.
in STO's defense I did like thier ship combat more than eve's it was more indepth. Shields and guns had facings and going behind objects dropped lock and blocked torpedoes. But that's something eve won't have until we are all on fiberoptic networks and the cell processor is standard issue for servers.

I love how the guy says Eve PVE is a bit rubbish, Eve PVP is a bit rubbish, but still gives high scores; then says STO PVE is good, and STO PVP is good, then gives it bad scores.
Reading the article it sounds like he's given the scores the wrong way round.

I think its even fair to say that eve did better than sto did at its start.
CCP had to sell board games to make enough money to buy computers to start making eve online. Cryptic already had alot of them. CCP had to deal with a publisher that almost successfully tried to drop them off the face of the earth. CCP had to overcome the fact that it was an IP nobody heard of before because they're the ones who made it. And the fact Eve online used to be 2D in the pre alpha.

But that's something eve won't have until we are all on fiberoptic networks and the cell processor is standard issue for servers.
the difference is, it takes them like five years to build their largest class of ship, which is equivalent to an EVE battlecruiser (never understood that, why not just use a giant Replicator to build their ships?)
IIRC, five years ago was around about the time when carriers and titans were first introduced to EVE.
So, in the time it takes them to produce ONE ship at a given shipyard, an EVE factory can produce thousands. Also, it's impossible to kill a capsuleer. We just get back up, strap on a new ship and come at it again.
Victory through overwhelmingly superior numbers. black hole lava lamps be damned. -

But yea, When I found this artical I just had to go to the STO forums and watch all the rage. I played STO beta and managed to finish the game in less than a month. It is by far the single worst MMO I have ever played and going by what I hear, you can finish the last six months of add ons in less than a day. Only reason it is still alive is because its trek

I hate MMORPG.com as a site - full of complete tripe. The article was hardly fair, and they've added a disclaimer that says the reviewer played only a tiny amount of STO.
Not that I disagree with any of it though :D
The funniest part is the STO ragethread. I didn't bother getting too far into it, but the responses mostly seemed to be "RAGE! UNFAIR! BIAS!! TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS!! But you know, they're basically right..."

Poor STO... I almost feel bad for them.
Let's face it: We all complain about Eve but nothing even comes close. We all wish there was something 'better' but everything new fails miserably.
I look forward to the day when Eve has proper competition. People with money and discontent for Eve please continue to try and review new products for me. Until then, I'll pay my Eve subscription and wish other developers luck.

thing is while we have them beat completely on organization etc the simple fact is their ships have vastly superior weapons to ours. it's a trivial exercise for them to hit things from 30 000 km away while we range out a couple hundred km at most. their ships are so much faster than ours that we might as well be paddling rafts about. our only real hope is to invade their planets and seize their tech early on. once we somewhat equalize the tech the federation et al are doomed .

Also, the navigational deflector would abosrb most new eden weaponry. Since its job is to red-shift incoming light and deflect micrometeoroids, (rendering projectile and laser weaponry useless) the only weapon worthy of main Federation sheilds are antimatter charges.

Lasers are completely in-effective againest federation ships (you can even see that in one of the episodes of the next generation).
And antimatter charges are not detinated, just used as a very heavy projectile.

What has the largest battle in canon ST been? Wolf 359? Sacrifice of Angels? Voyager: Endgame? A trekkie fan can surely fill in the actual numbers, but I've never seen more than a couple dozen ships on-screen, maybe a hundred mentioned. EVE fleets consist of hundreds of ships at the least, thousand man deployments are not unheard of.
Ship sizes. ST fleets consist mostly of smaller and support ships, with the Galaxy being one of the best ships fielded. Compare that to a Titan or a fleet of supercarriers... yeah.
Movement. Warp 9, engage. We will arrive in two weeks. Or, you know, light a cyno and bridge in a fleet from across the universe before you can say "military experts".
EWAR. ST has the magical deflector dish, tractor beams, and that's about it. Spaceship repairs are done in spacedock, if one even survives the first few hits that penetrate the shield. EVE has ECM, warp scrambles, webs, tracking and targeting dampeners, and logistics that can fully repair a battleship in seconds, while it continues to rain antimatter death at the enemy.
Last, clones. A ST ship goes down, thousands of people die. That's it. Dead. A capsuleer just shrughs, swears a bit at lost implants, hops in a new ship and rejoins the fight with just as much strength he had before being targetted. We. Are. Invincible. ___________ EVE is dying! Now for real! |

Would like to point out that whatever the Tachyon Beam Laser is, it's definitely not a laser.
Laser = Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation Tachyon = Particle going faster then light.
Light that goes faster then light, is not light, rather it's a headache waiting to happen.

To those of you going on about ST vs eve techno war babble.
In STO the range of all weapons is 10k max. Past 30k they can't even see you. Once engaged in combat you cannot warp off either so we dont even need a warp scram
A single Apoc fitted for 180km = the devil himself.

I played STO for a while (while AFK mining in EvE on my laptop).
The problem with STO PvP is getting the Klingons to show up. I thought they had excellent PvP scenarios, really fun, pitting faction against faction and NPC's tossed in for both sides to deal with (in some cases). Trouble was, you could never count on the Klingons showing up. So I rolled a Klink, and guess what, we got our asses kicked due to imbalanced population.
It is my personal opinion that STO PvP is a lot more fun than EvE PvP, but it is that same problem of finding opponents and finding really good quality fights. Maybe the population imbalance is better now, IDK, but the STO mechanics of PvP are a pure blast IMO.

In a battle between EVE and ST:O, I'd have to say that ST:O would eventually win.
The reason, of course, is that when an EVE ship dies, a replacement must be built at some point, then stocked.
ST:O ships consume no ammo and are replaced in 30 seconds (max) with all fittings intact.

Originally by: Helen Hunts In a battle between EVE and ST:O, I'd have to say that ST:O would eventually win.
The reason, of course, is that when an EVE ship dies, a replacement must be built at some point, then stocked.
ST:O ships consume no ammo and are replaced in 30 seconds (max) with all fittings intact.

I'm 99% sure that in the ST universe, ships take a *year* or more to produce and crew. We have dozens of *production lines* of ships coming out of stations *daily*. And ST (Federation anyway) ships have capacitors for the Phaser banks (Not to mention torpedoes) :x

Originally by: Muul Udonii I love how the guy says Eve PVE is a bit rubbish, Eve PVP is a bit rubbish, but still gives high scores; then says STO PVE is good, and STO PVP is good, then gives it bad scores.
Reading the article it sounds like he's given the scores the wrong way round.
I played STO for a while (while AFK mining in EvE on my laptop).
The problem with STO PvP is getting the Klingons to show up. I thought they had excellent PvP scenarios, really fun, pitting faction against faction and NPC's tossed in for both sides to deal with (in some cases). Trouble was, you could never count on the Klingons showing up. So I rolled a Klink, and guess what, we got our asses kicked due to imbalanced population.
It is my personal opinion that STO PvP is a lot more fun than EvE PvP, but it is that same problem of finding opponents and finding really good quality fights. Maybe the population imbalance is better now, IDK, but the STO mechanics of PvP are a pure blast IMO.
I had quit because EVE kept lying about WIS and had been out for like 2 years. I was one of the first klingons to level 5 and all I did was PVP the whole way.
It was really lol staying cloaked and listening to the fed whines. But the fact is if we did uncloak we died because the feds would just stay turtled all the time so we couoldn't pick any of you off.
STO sucks balls anyway after you're done with the pvp thing all you have is a map, a bunch of lines and some retarted douchbag sitting there in the station alone.

STO's gameplay reminded me of Zaxxon.

Also, the navigational deflector would abosrb most new eden weaponry. Since its job is to red-shift incoming light and deflect micrometeoroids, (rendering projectile and laser weaponry useless) the only weapon worthy of main Federation sheilds are antimatter charges.
Step 1: Steal deflector. Step 2: Blob enough to crash the system. Step 3: **** Step 4: Profit

There are space games other than EVE? Comparing EVE and STO is like comparing fine wine and Kool Aid.
And the other space games to be? Very thin vaporware. I'll believe 'em if I see 'em. ____________________

LOL - To me this speaks more about the two games than the review itself. Maybe, just MAYBE there is a good REASON he could not even play STOL for an hour. =========================

Speaking as someone who did spend several months playing STO and have spent several years playing Eve I think I am in quite a good position to say - the review was rubbish, not just tripe, but utter cods wallop of the highest order.
My wife's father always bought Rover cars and even though each and every one of them caused him so much trouble he would defend them claiming that any faults were minor. But any faults on other makes of cars, especially if they were Japanese, were highlighted by him as proof that his choice of car was the best.
This review struck me in the same way. Every little fault and niggle with STO is blown up so that it seems to be game breaking while the faults and niggles of Eve are played down.
My biggest complaint about STO was lack of content, and I fully intend to revisit the game at some time in the future so play with new the stuff. So it can't be all bad if I am willing to take a break from playing Eve to do this.

Edited by: Kraschyn Thek''athor on 23/10/2010 00:54:22 There is one weakness for Star Trek. Ramming!
We see in the first contact with the dominion a Galaxy-Class ship rammed and destroyed and the Jema'thar ship wasn't particualar fast. So agility seems rather low ^^ Ramming often happens at climatic moments in Star Trek and is allways fatal. Flimsy ships. Eve Battleships are much larger, heavier ships and are much more numberous. The speed difference can be negated by warping on a cloak ship.
Star Trek Ships would die by bumping/ramming from hundreds of Immortal Kamikaze Pilots :D
Oh glorious days, when our Empress rams it way through the Federation Fleet at the helm of an Avatar Titan ^^

To everybody doing the EVE vs STO ship fights e-peen contest. It was annoying when geeks started Star Wars vs Star Trek debates about 20 years back and it still hasn¦t changed.
About this article, it¦s a non-entity.
I started eve back in 2004 and can¦t even bring myself to log in anymore when I see basically the same UI and gameplay from back then. STO spacefigthin is fracking awesome fun compared to eve! Just one word: LineOfSight!
Also STO has actual "walking in station" that¦s used for something other than watching pixel a$$es wiggling about. Meaning GROUND COMBAT. Yes it¦s all a bit clunky and repetitive after a while but there¦s at least something to improve upon.
And the devs actually do something about it. They are going to introduce PLAYER GENERATED CONTENT TOOLS. Admittedly it¦s probably only going to be used for adding missions, but then again 90% of the EVE population is in empire anyway, doing guess what?
STO has some big design problems and pitfalls, no doubt about it. Most of it stemming from Cryptic having do the damn thing in about 18 months after the former software house did $h!t@ll during the 2 years they were supposed to develop it. But the arrogant superior ¦tude some here display is more than laughable and reeks of ignorance and blatant fanboyism.
EVE has more than his share of humongous problems. From the boorish 6+ year old UI to the bland gameplay that still hasn¦t evolved significantly in about the same time frame. _________________________________________________
