plixxster	Posted - 2005.11.08 02:41:00 - [4] Originally by: Garik Daemon soonÖ I was just asking since i was looking at the FanFest 2004 clip CCP played and i figured here we are and about to hit 2006 :( so soon = 2 more years?
Ecnav	Posted - 2005.11.08 02:52:00 - [5] it'll come out in the amount of time it takes you to breathe after you've died

sonofollo	Posted - 2005.11.08 03:33:00 - [7] i like it on the SISI server perhaps in RMR u might get planetary interaciton

The universe has been around for God-knows how long. SoonÖ is a very relative thing. ---
Chaplain Veritas	Posted - 2005.11.08 07:19:00 - [9] Lord I hope this happens! Would love to see a little more detail to this game. :)
Lardarz B'stard	Posted - 2005.11.08 07:54:00 - [10] why oh why oh why oh why oh why are people so obsessed with this?
Vishnej	Posted - 2005.11.08 08:03:00 - [11] Edited by: Vishnej on 08/11/2005 08:03:41 They've said that there are at LEAST two expansions between us and the expansion dedicated to planetary flight. RMR = early december, Kali = Q2'06, so expect it at a minimum Q4 '06, most likely sometime in '07 if they don't find something with a higher fun/work ratio. So yes, 2 years off probably. Planetary flight as anything other than a gimmick minigame will take an incredible amount of time/work. T2 Destroyers: a proposal Requested Changes: An alphabet's worth
mahhy	Posted - 2005.11.08 08:39:00 - [12] Originally by: Lardarz B'stard why oh why oh why oh why oh why are people so obsessed with this? Agreed.. I've never seen a reason for "planetary flight" yet. Without a reason why have it??
Tiny Carlos	Posted - 2005.11.08 08:42:00 - [13] Originally by: mahhy Originally by: Lardarz B'stard why oh why oh why oh why oh why are people so obsessed with this? Agreed.. I've never seen a reason for "planetary flight" yet. Without a reason why have it?? Yeah, I don't think I would add anythng to the game, we'de need soo many more people for all thoses planets.
Malthros Zenobia	Posted - 2005.11.08 08:43:00 - [14] Isn't their a chronicle or something that explains hwo tritanium is unstable when exposed to atmosphere or something? In other words, no existing ship is usable in planetary flight. As fun as it'd be to play God with a planet and basicly break into a SimEarth minigame, complete with the 'nuke this bastard's planet with orbiting fleet' command, it's not EVE, and the day people have an entire planet economy to control is the day EVE's economy is completely KILLED. Your Civilian Gatling Railgun perfectly strikes Choke Slam [CAIN], wrecking for 6.0 damage.
Andromedus	Posted - 2005.11.08 08:49:00 - [15] they said they wouldnt want to implement it until they could do it really well, (think Battlefield 2 on planet in eve) - Fortune favors the bold, but abandons the timid.
Grimwalius d'Antan	Posted - 2005.11.08 09:01:00 - [16] Get a ceptor and find a small moon. Lots of fun racing around them. Not as fun as planet surfing in Freelancer though, as there is no risk of crashing too steepily into the atmosphere and go kaboomypwned. Damn, I miss racing planets in Freelancer...
hired goon	Posted - 2005.11.08 09:56:00 - [17] I hope it's like Elite II, where you approach a planet but by the time you realize the gravity is too strong for your engines to escape from, it's already too late! -omg-
Finix Jaeger	Posted - 2005.11.08 10:12:00 - [18] Question Why planetary flight. What is the point? -------------------------
Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.11.08 10:19:00 - [19] Planetary flights? How will most of the Caldari ships fly in atmosphere? ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!
mahhy	Posted - 2005.11.08 10:25:00 - [20] Originally by: Jenny Spitfire How will most of the Caldari ships fly in atmosphere? Try to picture any of the current Eve ships actually flying in an atmosphere and its just ridiculous. I don't think any of them could really be considered aerodynamic, or lift capable, etc... gunna need some other form of engine/flight model. /emote starts training Antigravity Engines level 1
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.11.08 10:27:00 - [21] im looking forward to it actually its something that will keep players interested and eventually needs doing (more advanced internet speeds and graphics are required first as well as more advanced PC capacities for the player base)
Marcus Aurelius	Posted - 2005.11.08 10:28:00 - [22] Edited by: Marcus Aurelius on 08/11/2005 10:29:44 Pesonally, I hope it never makes it in, period. Getting tired of useless content eating up resources when the hard needed features are being delayed, delayed and again delayed. So unless planetary flight would be developed into some uber empowering player-content feature thing, calling it off in total is by far the best option of them all imo. Save yourself the trouble of wasting your time on it.
Aquiesse Erus	Posted - 2005.11.08 10:30:00 - [23] Originally by: Marcus Aurelius Pesonally, I hope it never makes it in, period. Agree with you here. Give people more places to hide.

If it doesn't actually add features to the game, like being able to use planetary populations in some way, then why do it? Just because its pretty, and its cool is not a reason. If CCP introduced some form of benefit from planets, new minerals/materials for example, and some compelling reason to require landing on the surface to interact with that new feature/content, then I can see a reason for it to be introduced. Otherwise, I hope they don't waste time on implementing it.
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.11.08 10:37:00 - [25] well i had been assuming you couldnt land on the planet u would interact via a planetary station or orbital modules. That said they have said planetary interactions would add more raw materials not available in space - build up the NPC goods and trade market (much needed element not everyone is a combat pilot)
hired goon	Posted - 2005.11.08 14:44:00 - [26] Originally by: Aquiesse Erus Originally by: Marcus Aurelius Pesonally, I hope it never makes it in, period. Agree with you here. Give people more places to hide. Haha! Imagine, the atmosphere of planets hides ships from scanners and local. All you'll hear from fleet commanders is "Ok, everybody into the atmosphere!" Imagine the poor farmer on the surface of X-70MU IV when he looks up out of his combine harvester to see a 110-man blob blotting out the sun! -omg-
HUGO DRAX	Posted - 2005.11.08 14:47:00 - [27] I think when you reach planetary atmosphere, you switch to a FPS view and can PvP via joystick/reticle ala wingcommander. but you need to make sure you avoid mountains.

SengH	Posted - 2005.11.08 14:48:00 - [29] Edited by: SengH on 08/11/2005 14:49:54 before you guys keep making up further FUD.... 2004 fanfest planetary flight video i think it'll be on the scanner since theres no session change when he warped from one planets atmosphere to another planets. Edit: also showing that caldari ships can fly in the atmosphere.
