So after a decade of hype, I decide to take the plunge into Hyperspace. Woohoo, I am gonna Pirate , Bounty hunt , mine and whatever my heart desires. But, most of all I am gonna fly my spaceship across the cosmos.

Fly?

No flying?

wtf?

.....Disappointed, uninstalling now.

How do you play a space game like this where you do not actually fly the ships. All these cool awesome ships and no flying?
I have a radial to navigate my ship? No physics?

What is the hook? I am truly curious.

Please do not tell me to go back to WoW, I have never played it nor desire to.

Waiting patiently for STAR CITIZEN!!!!

antoher sc treahd pffff

2 different games , eve players tend be older als teenagers and we dont want to flymanuly our spaceships , our eyes are too old for that en our fingers not so quick

it would turn eve in sort of arcade game , also with 1 sec server your joystick wouldnt work well , esp with big battles( there so other game that allowed big battles like eve) when tidi kicks in

SO no please not

sorry for bad english

Thanks for the reply. I did not mean to turn this into an SC thread.

I truly tried EVE, I had no idea you do not manually fly the crafts.

I was disappointed that is all.

But some players made a stupid copy of Dark orbit out of it. PvP is all what they see here and I was expecting something more out of this game. If I want PvP I go pplay games like World of tanks, where I have PvP when I want and ready. Not when some 7 years old char with over bilion ISK in implantants and faction cruiser decide to cure his/her/it cripled selfesteem by shooting newbee ship that is not able to fight back. I was in the middle of security mission with over 20 drone tragets around me. So I could not see him comming in overview before it was too late. And he shoot me down in three shots, despite I still have had over 5 k effective hit points to that moment. No point to keep play game like this. Sore loosers like the one, who shot me in the back, made this game PvP just everywhere, high / low null sec... And to be PvP game Eve is not that fair

Same here. For diffferent reason, though.

I do not want to fly ship manually (real astronauts do not fly manually as well, inlest in emergency situations)

I took this game as a perfect (almost) space simulator. Very detailed and nicely designed world, ready to explore. With the opportunity of PvP in factional wars or in corporation vs corporation wars.

Not being a twitch game is the hook for me, I'm not that competitive in twitch games, my reactions are nowhere near as good as they were 25 years ago, neither is my eyesight.

In Eve there's a sizeable contingent of players who are semi retired or retired, there are those amongst us that are not quite that old, but in their 40's and 50's. The more RTS nature of Eves control systems allow them to compete on a level playing field with all the youngsters, while reaction time is still a factor, being able to keep your cool and plan ahead are just as important.

Just to clear the air, I do now see the plethora of "hooks" in EVE. I was looking for a good space sim that included manually piloting a ship. For the old school gamers think of the old Falcon series of Flight simulators but in a sci fi setting. When it comes to manually piloting a ship, I am talking a bit more then just point and click. I was hoping to need to use a good old flight sim joystick.

Hey, no big deal, in due time I will get what I was hoping for down the road.

Good luck to all and ty for the input.
