Now that's an idea! The Eve-O forums should charge an Aurum CSPA charge to post! Brb, pitching it to CCP!

In all seriousness, their community is shockingly hostile to criticism in a way I have only ever seen of Scientologists and vegans.

I feel the need to let you know that trolling here is prohibited.. just kidding lol

Do let us know your SC name so we can watch your posts there with buckets of popcorn ready.

You are being too kind.

I pre-purchased X:R, and when I finally got it delivered, it was a totally unplayable bugfest. I too wanted to like it, but I couldn't get over the fact that it was a poorly made console game that was ported to PC. It took many patches and many restarts of the campaign before I could even get halfway through without a major bug breaking it. Several times I found myself hunting through the .xml files to bypass one broken mechanic after another. I haven't played it for quite awhile now... I keep seeing patchnotes come through on my notifications..so hopefully one day when Im bored, ill give it another try and itll work.

Until then, Ill keep playing Eve, even though its clearly dead, and regret the time I cheated on it with the semi-console flopfest that killed it.

And the Eve community.

There is more in common between the two than I thought.

Mr Epeen

That thread was hilarious. They really have no concept of the subversive power an influx of eve players will bring. It is adorable.

Today is the first time I took a look at SC. Sure ok, the graphics are nice. But people are actually giving money, lots of money for a game that isn't even out yet? Seems crazy to me.

In other words , SWTOR and Star Trek Online (STO) all over again. STO specifically is everything 'they' say they want, walking around on/in things, no non-consensual pvp, no real losing stuff when you 'die', "griefers banned for life on the 1st offense" (or even thinking about the 1st offense lol) and so on. Loudly did some leave for a 'better game', quietly did they slink back when they came to realize that they only;y thought they wanted to be super safe and away from the 'griefers', because those griefers and the dangers of EVE give their game play meaning.....

It's official, I have brought Jita to SC...

As CEO of JITA, you guys are all welcome to app in to make SC a better place.

Love it how these SC people think there will be no way no how that someone will be able to AFK mine in their game, if it ever comes out.

Botters will always figure out a way to bot, its what they do. Thinking otherwise is delusional.

Real physics and things sounds like an uber lag fest waititng to happen.

There is a difference between botters and AFKers. Botters are using out of game tools to automate their in game activity. AFKers are using in-game tools to automate their in-game activity.

Not much of a different though.

If SC does have a mining system that prevents AFK mining, then it becomes a matter of convincing CCP to copy it to end AFK mining in Eve. Unless it's something silly like 'mining' in Freelancer.


Are they going with a newtonian or relativistic model ?

You can only have one forum character but unlimited in-game characters, so I guess I won't be offering ship trading services and honest investment funds on the forums under different characters.

But they seem to completely miss the fact that we can use our Eve-trained out of the box thinking to handle any game mechanic or rule. For instance, what's to stop our pirate corps from ganking ships and allowing our high sec alts scoop the loot? Even if scooping loot raises a suspect flag, we can just use pirate characters to scoop, then immediately jetcan to an alt or at a nearby station.

I wasn't going to say it publicly, but I would very much like to organize such fun activities. I totally agree we should gate camp them into highsec with pirates and haul the loot with our honourable citizens, perhaps in a convoy lol

It doesn't matter so much who runs everything- perhaps just an alliance or coalition of sorts, but guys we have got to get a bunch of Eve guys together to share the joys of the sandbox with millions of SC players in some sort of organized fashion.

Sorry, but no. I'm supposed to stay completely anonymous, and it would be bad form to have someone who officially works for CCP Games comment on the Star Citizen forums, wouldn't it? Also, who's to say I even have an account there?

Anyway, carry on.

I don't remember mining in freelancer could you really do that? I did the plot line and joined a couple of servers on the ms global server but had to give up when I upgraded my pc as Windows vista couldn't see the global server. That's why I joined eve.

It seems to me that the community over in sc are just too happy clappy and care bearing for their own good, they've brought this on themselves. We will teach them to understand risk and htfu. We'd be doing them a public service and eventually they will thank us.
