Is it the '50s Buck Rogers / space opera kind? Then EVE is if anything overly scientifically accurate.
Is it the Clarke kind of GÇ£hardGÇ¥ scifi? Then EVE is a bit too soft to qualify.
Is it the DeGuinn / Aasimov kind of social scifi? Then EVE is a marvel, and the space ship part isn't even relevant.
Is it the Stephenson kind of fiction about science? Then EVE isn't even in the right category.
Is it the Shelley kind of moral-ethical scifi? Then EVE is an interesting experiment.
Is it the Adams kind of humorous scifi? Then there's not much to simulate, or at least no GÇ£rulesGÇ¥ to abide by.
Is it the Gibson kind of cyberpunk scifi? Then EVE is an adequate, if poorly fleshed out, setting.
Is it the Masamune kind of post-cyberpunk scifi? Then EVE is a bit too dark.

* As if there's a lot of resistance in space - but then asymmetrical ships should be uncontrollable.
* Clothes costing more than battleships.
* Insurance companies that hand out money to joyriders and never go bankrupt.
* Market overviews that don't seem to be able to get data from other regions, even if it's just 1 jump away.
* Minmatar agents in Amarr space (?!) giving missions to shoot Amarr Navy ships without repercussions.
* Ship's crew that doesn't seem to be able to fly around collidable objects but bump into them dozens of times.
* Thousands of years into the future and not even such a thing as radar.
* Police that can bribed for a dime so you can shoot whoever you want.
And so on. It doesn't exactly add to the immersion imo.
* Asteriod belts that respawn within days. In real life they take millions of years
*Pilots like the OP, who has proven himself to be a bad pilot by losing a Drake in a level 3 mission, can still get insurance at the same rate as everyone else.
*NPC Pirates that continue to appear in places like Dodixie and Motsu despite getting their arses kicked every single day for the past 7 years. Surely they would move to somewhere else?
*An agent gives out the same mission several times a day to 1000's of people in the same system. That's like sending 1000 SEAL teams to shoot Osama 1000 times!
*Any Tom, **** or Harry can create a corporation. There should be some sort of test to determine if you are 'fit and proper' person to start your own company.
*There is no **** hidden in the couch of my CQ.
It doesn't exactly add to the immersion does it? |

Come back, spend an hour figuring out how to disable heat alarm invoking CQ and putting clothes on my EVE barbie doll.
Enter game, ooooh, Incarna gonna be cool.
Jesus Wept.
And yeah, I'm raging. just lost a Drake on a farking lvl 3 recon mission because it got "embedded" in "large collidable" objects when I tried to warp out. Just sat there squirming around like a chick taking it in the pooper for the first time, like happens half the times at an Accell Gate - hung up on invisible things.
CCP- Can I get a Monocle for the loss of my Drake?
ARRRRGGGGG

hmm.... did you have cargo expanders on that drake or something? You can tank a drake up to a lvl 4..........
Plz rage quit already if you can't keep you're ship off a giant mining colony , station, asteriod, or whatever it was in the mission.

hello obsidian here.
Nothing has changed since 2006 when i started playing. you always get stuck on gates and you also need to watch out for those large collideable objects. They arent hard to miss. but they will kill you dead. |

The same magic ponies that prevent you from entering a gate / wormhole when you suicide gank someone in highsec.

I tried to run some of the epic arc missions once, I got bored after like 3 missions and wound up not playing for the next 3 weeks.

It might be suitable punishment for running missions. You can then be taunted for that too.
On a non trolling note: Yes there's still a ton of "papercuts" in eve, hopefully CCP will start a serious effort to fix them after this last waste of time expansion. I'm not holding my breath though. Go do something fun, join a nullsec, or wormhole, or pvp corp, that's where the fun is in eve. |
