Hey guys, thanks for the positive reaction. Like stated above, our vision is to make the EVE Universe the ultimate science fiction simulator. Saying that EVE is just about spaceships, is a bit like saying that phones should only be about making voice phone calls one on one with other people. Indeed they did start out like that, but as technology evolved, they become something much bigger. We hope you guys stay with us long enough for that dream to materialize.
Oh and to someone that asked if it can be safe. Sorry, nope. The EVA gameplay is not safe, it's as safe as going into a wormhole. That's also what makes it interesting. |

Keep up the good work!
If possible we'd like to allow for a hands-on playtest at fanfest. More will be revealed as the hour draws near. |

We actually didn't go that deep into that part of the design, the prototype we built focused on the minute by minute exploration, looting, overcoming obstacles and fighting turrets and random encounters of other players. It would vary in difficulty in risk, but one thing about EVE is that you are only ever fully safe when docked or logged off. Even mining in hisec is not without risk, as many can testify to. It can be annoying for some, but it adds so much more depth and dare I say it, verisimilitude to the experience of living in New Eden. |

That's also what makes it interesting. Is there any discussion of using station environments as a "open beta" for the multi-character environments before shoving us into combat environments with no training in the UI? 
We did consider it, but It actually takes quite an effort to make simple multiuser environments without any mechanics. It's almost half the work of doing the real feature, so we are not doing that as this point until we are commited and resourced to move forward with proper in-station gameplay. |
