Me and my friends had an idea last night while we were doing mission last night. We got on the subject of carriers and one of my friends suggested player controlled fighters and how cool it would be to dog fight in space. We just though how instead of A.I. fighters, carrier pilots could higher actual pilots and have them fight for them. These fighters would be controlled by joystick of course and they could be kitted out just like regular ships with new guns,engines, etc.
So what do you guys think?
Go easy its my first suggestion thread.

Hardly a new idea. The problem with this is that currently it is impossible for a ship to hold more than one pod, so there is no way to launch or land player controlled fighters. This is a programming and database limitation that ccp has so far been unable to overcome. Maybe possible with the new Dust 514 console game interface, but in like say 5+ years.

As the mad bomber said, old idea. Its actually older the fighters themselves being on the live server.
Fighters are to small to have pods so if you get killed its time to create a new character.
As for joystick control, have a another look at the commonly proposed ideas stick at the top of this forum (you did check it before posted as required by ruled right?). Its been suggested a lot and CCP has said why we will not get it in the foreseeable future. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |

The only way I can see this happening is for pilots to assign fighters to other players, like we can now, but have the players view switch to a cluster of fighters which can be controlled just like a ship.
Though that has it's own issues.

I do not know how this would work out in EVE.
but a single player game, in a similar vain of the Wing Commander or the Xwing/Tie Fighter games except set in the EVE-Verse would be pretty awesome.

Originally by: Viktor Fyretracker I do not know how this would work out in EVE.

There was talk of dusties being able to fly fighters but I believe it has been dropped as joystick/game pad control would not be possible so dusties would not be able to control them.
Also don't CCP idea's about starting a 4 game before they get one of other 2 games to market.
However if CCP were to licence the IP to another company and keep a controlling stake, I suspect it would be a hit and the best part is that the majority of the art has already been created.

It would be a big job, for sure, but they already have the idea with Dust514. Its a whole different engine that connects to Tranquility so events on each side affect the other in realtime. So, how about a flight sim that connects to Tranquility, where the ships and combat on the EVE side are mirrored on the fighters side and vice versa?
