I don't simply think anyone has the bandwidth and server power laying around to power a small shard. The back-end of this thing is apparently a weird shoe-string mess and if they ever sunset Eve, unless a database gets leaked/released I seriously doubt there will ever be an emulator, certainly not a full one.
There's the other issue of a small ponds worth of fish swimming in the ocean that is the eve map. |

Definitely not. EVE is an awful game and the only thing that makes it tolerable is the other people.

No. EVE is far too vast to have a private server with only a few people on it. You would never see anyone. It would be like being on the test server. |

If I wanted to play a solo game, I would play Civ or Roller Coaster Tycoon or Age of Empires.
I play EVE to work with others to build and achieve things as a group.
My guess is the point of the OP is that PVP against other players is what makes EVE fun. For him maybe. For me, it isn't about PVPing with others, but about building with others.. hundreds of others.
The PVPers get ships blown up. The industrialists mine resources and build ships for the PVPers.
It is a symbiotic, not adversarial relationship.

No. The appeal of the game is a persistent single universe (ok apart from china) and that's why I play, or part of it at least. it's unique.
I take back my previous statements and judgements of others. -áyou can mine in iteron if you want. |

I'm sure a lot of solo afk miners would love a single player environment.
1: Impossible to begin with.
2: No point to mining when you have nothing to do with the ore, or anyone to sell it to.
3: Whether they realize it or not even solo AFK miners would soon quit without the element of danger present in EvE. The risk gives them what little excitment they derive from that play style, and their ill thought through outrage fuels their determination... whether they care to admit it or not.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

What makes EVE special is the ability to travel the wide galaxy, visit unseen places, see unexpected things and people, then break and/or kill them.
For that, we need lots and lots of bodies. |

I did mention its a stripped down version of new eden right? It wouldn't have to be full size although im sure Elite Frontier 2 had more systems than eve does.
I'm sure with an awesome story and integrated Duat elements it wouldnt have to play like Mass Effect trilogy.

Define stripped down. I personally wouldn't mind seeing a second Eve server, somewhat of a start fresh kind of thing, but stripped down sounds...bare.

What you want is an entirely different game, in space. If that's not what you want, maybe you should look for a different game anyway, because something like that would never happen with Eve. Sorry. |

Would you host an instance on your private server and invite friends to play, build, destroy and create?
Add a single player story line - Why not? Would you play it?
Why not just play X3?

I'd consider playing it if the purpose of it was to test out your own design ideas. I'd definitely play it if I had the control to tweak the stats my way. Would be a nice way to demonstrate more clearly how a few of my design ideas really play out once all the calculation are done. Nobody trusts my math and they're too lazy to read and check it.

The only way I could see this as a draw is if a somewhat large group of people wanted to try eve with a clean sheet of paper, and have control over who is allowed on the server. That is, no vets, unclaimed null, and so on. See what its like to start up on their own, form their own groups that can fight without all the old vets and alliances getting in the way.
Im not sure how many people it would take before this would be a fun exercise. My guess is several hundred to a few thousand.
