Awesome Possum
Original Sin. PURPLE HELMETED WARRIORS

Enjoyed the Chess Boxing vid, thought Eve should do up chess sets. Keep the pieces the racial colors so you could fight any race against the other. Sell 'em as Amarr v Minnie, Caldari v Masters of the Universe'llente
Deciding what ships should be what pieces would be fun. Force recon ships could be knights, racial POS could be king, titan/MOM could be queen? Bishops would be 'canes or drakes for all 4 cause no one flies harbis or myrms :smug:. ♥

Hey Possum,
Such a good idea!
I'm not sure about the POS, but this is how I'd do it:
King: Titan Queen: Mothership Bishop: Carrier Knight: Dread Rook: Tier 3 Battleships Pawn: Drake/Cane/Myrm/Harbinger
OR, if you make things a bit more expensive:
King: Titan Queen: Mothership Bishop: Dread and Carrier Knight: 2 of the 3 Battleships Rook: Battlecruisers Pawn: 1 of the cruisers/hacs

I understand the appeal of making the titan King, but the role of King in chess is a rather weak one. The POS just fits it better. Titan/Mom for queen would be ideal.
I see what you did there with tier3 BS as Rook. Can't stop the Rokh :o
hmm pawns. t1 frigs? 'ceptors? AFs? (gimme4thbonus!) ♥

nah ignore the caps/scaps and stick to t1 ships
king = bs, queen = bc, bishops = dps cruisers, knights = ewar cruisers, rooks = other cruiser, pawns = tier 3 frig.
so for gallente king = domi, queen = brutix, bishops = thorax, knights = celestis, rooks = vexors, pawns = incursus.

I'd buy it just for the ship models.

While we're at it, can we get the game "battleship" in Eve pieces?

I believe this set more accurately reflects warfare in EVE:
Pawns: Drakes and Maelstroms Rook: Carrier Knight: Carriers Bishop: Supercarrier Queen: Supercarriers King: Lone Titan (cuz he'd get f***ed if he was alone)

Dread seems like a shoe-in for rook. Something about the turrets being pretty much welded in place suits a chess piece that can only travel along rows and columns.
Pawns should obviously be Rifter, Incursus, Punisher and Merlin. There is no room for argument here. |

Also, the board should be a hybrid of Perfection and electric football to simulate node crashes and the futility of trying to manage your fleet under heavy lag respectively. |

Or something like:
Pawns (the weak pieces that have to win on a diagonal): frigates, haulers, destroyer Rooks (the stronger pieces): Tier 1 and Tier 3 cruisers Knights (the mobility pieces): Recon ship (uses the tier 2 cruiser model, iirc) and t3 cruiser Bishops (the 'more effective than they seem' ones): Battlecruisers Queen (the apparently OP one that isn't as useful as you'd think): Marauder King (the goal of the game to detroy): Racial large POS
That captures the spirit of the part of the game where a chess analogy really exists. Capital ships aren't really strategic, you just throw them against each other with support fleets and hope it works out. Maybe we could save the Capital ships for the official Eve dodgeball game. ---

I considered doing something like this a while back, got as far as tossing an ogre model at shapeways before I got bored. I might have another look into it once I'm done uni for the summer and working full time again. |

Change the rules a bit. Add in a loki piece that can move as many times as it likes in one turn, can't be seen by the opposition until it chooses to be seen and basically solos the whole board in one go.
Makes sense to me at least :)

Originally by: Doddy nah ignore the caps/scaps and stick to t1 ships
king = bs, queen = bc, bishops = dps cruisers, knights = ewar cruisers, rooks = other cruiser, pawns = tier 3 frig.
so for gallente king = domi, queen = brutix, bishops = thorax, knights = celestis, rooks = vexors, pawns = incursus.
agree, except i would have the king be brutix, and the queen myrmidon

Much as I love the domi it would make a terrible chess piece just because of the shape, use a mega instead. |

Pawns are hero rifters, rook is the Alpha fleet, the rest stands. (Queen is a nyx, Bishops are one Wyvern and Aeon respectively.) |

Edited by: Aeronwen Carys on 17/03/2011 04:20:33 I think I'm going to have to break out my lead moulding kit and see if I can knock up a proper EVE chess set. Minmatar vs Amarr I think, since my main is Minmatar. Would be awesome to have the following:
For the Minmatar
Rifter pawns Thrasher Knights Stabber Bishops Hurricane Rooks Maelstrom Queen Naglfar King
For the Amarr
Punisher Pawns Coercer Knights Omen Bishops Prophecy Rooks Abaddon Queen Revelation King
All made out of cast lead and painted in their appropriate colour schemes |

First, pods should be pawns
And it should be a 4 way board

Gonna have to make on change to chess rules... after you take a piece, a pod appears on the space behind it, and if it makes it back to its base row gets re-shipped(you get your piece back)
Also, don't forget the random gangs of neuts flying through the board ganking any piece thats alone
