I want to fly a fighter in the EvE universe...

Make it happen CCP and i'll be hooked for the rest of my live...

Do it CCP!

also.. bump

so what you're saying is that we just need to keep bribing you guys with beer, and we'll have a full EVR game by next fanfest?

no. with beer you can get MUCH more. :D

and now to the correct answer: I can't say anything about what is coming and so on. the guys on the team will be working on this regardless of what CCP officially will choose to do, but it will of course be easier for us to work on something like this if we can do this during office hours and not from 4PM to 4AM and then get no sleep and on weekends so that we don't see our families. :)

something like this in seven weeks is only possible with a passionate and good team, and it was certainly and honor to create this and it was worth every second of production to see the players playing it yesterday and their reactions when they left the stage.

But nothing is official on how this will continue, so no promises.

I got a chance to play this a bit in the office recently and I was absolutely amazed by it. I was saying to the guys who've spent their nights and weekends on it that as one grows older there are fewer instances where you get truly and deeply excited about something new you experience. This was one of those times for me and I felt like a child again after playing.

I'm immensely proud to work with such talented and forward thinking people :)

Create somewhat more effective "Advanced Fighters and Fighter Bombers" that are pilot only.

Allow Carrier and Super Carrier pilots the option of stocking standard or advanced fighters/fighter bombers.

Integrate voice coms and an overview, perhaps one that has it's content is controlled by the Carrier/Super Carrier pilot.

It does look really interesting, I'd definitely like to try it out one day.
With the integration of dust into the eve universe, I don't really see there being an issue with adding a 3rd game stream



aside from the extra complexity ...... but im sure you guys at ccp would enjoy that kind of challenge

I'm suspecting /direct/ integration into Eve isn't really viable. Not at a:
launch from a players carrier, and fly around where Eve players can see you.


In part, it's because they run at different time scales. The fighters were pretty fragile, and died a lot. So the games were over very quickly. And then there's the problems with the number of updates that have to be sent around.

On the other hand, it could be set in wars between Factions (and or pirates). Launching from NPC ships that just happen to never be round players. It's not as nice as the level of integration as Dust gets, but it's still nice.

And avoids the 'My carrier doesn't work, as I can't get my squadron of pilots to log on' issue

Stand alone game that intergrates into the EvE universe and does allow interaction between EvE and EVR

Honestly EVR was incredible. I got to play 4 times and could have played all day if i wasn't torn between going to some of the talks and playing more. I can't believe i may never get to play this game again, it was fantastic. For anyone who was not at fanfest the videos dont come close to doing the game justice.

Creating EVR in spare time just goes to show how talented, driven and enthusiastic the Developers at CCP are. Thank you for the experience and keep up the good work.

I dont care how you get this game to us but please do.

Hi everyone, I'm one of the programmers that made EVR. I'm very happy to see that you all liked our little game and I very much hope we'll do something more with it. The team is resting now after an awesome Fanfest but we plan to give you some information about the game soon (not a release date or such though).

I had so much fun on this, I planned to skip the keynote (it was going to be recorded, right?) and spend 2 hrs playing on it with anyone else smart enough to do that. Sadly, it seems the VR people wanted to go the keynote :P

Is it cool? Yes.

Could it change games? Yes.

Does it belong in Eve? Ehhhhhhh.......I don't know.

The thought is nice, but I think it might detract from other roles to be played in the battle, or worse, people just outright refuse to participate because they can't be in a fighter. Think of all the people in the old battlefield games that stood next to the air field, waiting for a plane to pop, just to take off and crash it into the nearest tank. Then repeating that over, and over, and over.

Then what happens if there is a shortage of pilots, do AI control the rest? What happens when a player piloted carrier comes across one that is using AI fighters, or a mix. We can definitely say that the AI in Eve isn't much beyond target, lock, shoot, with a few mixed in module activations thrown in here and there.

Like I said, concept is cool, the thought is nice, but I don't see it being practical without a lot of consideration of all aspects.

Just going to copy/paste what I put in another thread. It should've gone here anyways.

Some things to say:

1. The product in itself is interesting, the work done by CCP Devs is nice and the Oculus VR is astonishing. I hope that CCP management put some resources into this, in order to be one of the first companies that will ship a game with the Oculus rift.
2. That said, it's very complicated to see this game becoming part of the EVE client. Besides technical issues (that could eventually be resolved with millions of dollars investments) there are enormous gameplay issues that mainly reside in the game physics and will prevent any integration of a "naive" space shooter in EVE online current gameplay.

For those who don't understand:
Imagine being an interceptor pilot. Fighting another interceptor. With a joystick, twitch gameplay, manual firing, et cetera. Seems fun, yeah? It isn't. You're going to shoot a 30m target at least 3 km away (it's a solid angle of 10^-4 steradians), moving at several hundreds of meters per second and accelerating at hundreds of meters per square second. Relative velocities wil be extremely big and vary greatly in just seconds.

Result: with current EVE physics targets will be too little, too far, too fast, too agile, and you'll need Jedi reflexes to even land a shot.


3. So I would really like to see how this game could be linked to EVE, but I'm sure you won't be able to pilot carrier fighters in EVE online.

If this was tied into the EVE universe like DUST514, it would kill Star Citizen for me. Between the dogfighting and EVE's rich sandbox, I have everything I could want. If I wasn't utter crap at console shooters, I'd even have the EVE FPS angle covered.

EVE Online: consuming your soul since 2003.

Last thing I'd want would be to kill Star Citizen, I'm a big fan of what they're doing :)

*whips CCP Karuck* BAD DEV, BAD!

You were trained to crush the opposition!

Dont make me sign you up for re education AGAIN!

/me snaps to attention. "Yes sire! I'll get right back on that!"

EVE in five years:

Me and 3 of my buddies are in CQ playing poker. Friend A a Dust player, Friend B is an EVR player and Friend C is another EVE Player.

We decide to go to the space brothel in Dodixie to get some beers and watch the new EVE tv show.

Alliance sends message that someone is attacking our capital planet and planetary shields are down to 25%.

We jump clone back to null sec.
I get into my Carrier
Friend A jumps into Dust 514
Friend B jumps on EVR and takes control of one of my fighters
Friend C jumps into his Battleship

Battle finishes and we slow boat back to the Dodixe Brothel to catch another episode of the new EVE Online TV show.

... Each killshot for example could award a point, and during the battle the points accumulate. Based on such a point system, Eve ships could get increasing benefits or drawbacks, depending on how the tie fighers on their side are doing...

While you wait on further information, here's an interview with me that has some more information.. hope you like it! :)

Sorry to crush ur dream but it will never happen. Just a company who payed Ccp to showcase th
eir product

this looks awesome.

I wonder is this is but a small development in the background that changes everything...

2) The Oculus Rift being supported for Eve as flair, essentially giving us a nice experience looking around our ships, just as we can rotate the camera fluidly now. Wouldn't mean dogfighting or any other twitch-based space combat mechanics, though. Just as a replacment for monitor/camera.

No one paid us anything to do this :P We did get early Rift kits but only because we had some connections. It was purely driven by passion and our interest in VR and giving people at Fanfest the chance to experience the Oculus Rift.

I like to add, ccp devs are lying sacks of ****
Obviously beyter in marketing then development

Oh dear, looks like you hit your head pretty hard getting out of bed this morning. You should probably get that looked at.

this would be nice if people who didn't want to drop ~couple hundred dollars on the rift, like myself, were still able to fly fighters.

make it as a third game layer.

planetary fights => Dust


low / high atmosphere fights => this fighter thingy.


space => Eve online


with the possibilities to either : assist ground battles (with bombing runs)

obstract / harass low orbital ships (orbital bombardment destroyers)



so if no orbital bombardment takes place, then thers nothing to shoot in orbit.

still you can fly strafe runs on ground troops and such....

I love being right!
