i personally cant wait to play eve on my 360.. very soon.. very soon indeed.
keep your eyes on the free60 project.. eve already works with wine from what i understand. once we get linux on the 360 it should just be a matter of time till we have eve on linux on 360..
then i can bust my second character off onto the other system.. (fyi several linux distro's already support the 360 controller..)

We really want to, but whether that's feasible, only time will tell.
If the EVE Light client API were open, I'd forsee an almost immediate java port, as that would allow you to easily manage your training and financial empire from any web browser with a JVM installed.
Considering that a good chunk of the game is in python, porting to an apache server with mod_python seems a good probability too.

That's really the biggest thing I'd like to see. Being able to take care of some administrative in-station things via a web browser would be great. Managing skill training without having to load the EVE client is something I reckon quite a few people would love to see...heheh.

Would be too hard to manage most of the ingame functions with a standard controller as-is.
If it was modded to include the ship movement with the joystick, it would be laggy as hell. Most games on consoles over the internet have like a max of 64 people per server. How can you have, in some cases 200+ people on one server all make slight movements with thier joystick? It's beyond realistic technological capabilities atm.
If eve was going console, i'd expect a dumbed down fighter style FPS thing.
I disagree. There are quite a few devices for the Xbox that could easily handle Eves interface. A standard controller has a few analogue control sticks that can be used to move a mouse (EVE is mouse driven) theres no need for ship steering. Simply steer the mouse with the analogue controller, use X for left click, X,X for double left click, [] for right click etc etc.
Other then typing for chat channels, what else would you need?
Additionally, I played Aces high which was a real time flight simulator, there were 400-500 people on the server and each used a joystick, rudder pedals etc and it worked fine.

What I'd want to know is that if the new Vista version is going to be teh all singing and dancing version, does that mean that the XP version is going to stagnate or will improvements still be made on it?
I'd like to see more of the GPU taking the load off the main processor. Many people run two accounts on the same machine and it stutters like mad due to high CPU load. Taking that load off the CPU and giving it to the GPU would solve a lot of that. Even on my dual processor PC, it is difficult to run two instances of Eve on dual screens because of the mouse lagging alone.

Eve on a console, that'll never work. How are you supposed to smack in local without a keyboard?

elFarto
thats simple, you use the new VOIP system built into eve to verbaly abuse them.
Local, if that will exist in the same form as it is today, will not be voice enabled. Neither will newbie corp channels or other large public channels.
Could we at least have proximity voice Oveur? Ships within 50km radius or something? Or the ability to open blockable instantaneous comms with a ship in visual range.

Drizit I run 2 accounts windowed mode on the same pc using that window switching software (forgot the name) and its usually smooth as silk. The only problem I have is if I leave the system running overnight with one or more accounts active then it gets pretty laggy.
I'm running a 6600 Nvidia with a AMD 1.7 GHZ P4, 1 Gig of Ram. I run at 32 bit, sound on both or 1 only and 1280 x 1240.
I did find some of the complexes laggy come to think of it but they have 40 or 50 ships in the middle of a debris field spamming missiles and guns at you so its to be expected.

Stagnate I suspect, tbfh. I'm not too keen on Vista in general, but a lot of the DX10 stuff, especially Geometry Instancing, sounds so powerfully sexy for EVE that it will simply make no sense to continue to heavily develop for older software. I mean, will EVE classic continue to get content updates for a while, sure. But eventually it'll be phased out because DX10 does in fact seem to be the code for Robot Jesus.

Pc Games are becoming less prolific as it is - let the pc have its swan song that is EVE online - The pc Loses out on most other game genres. Forget about the complexities of porting to differing systems, spend as much time as possible on making what we have even better.
To answer a previous post - An xbox 360 is based on directx, thats why it is called an "x"box. Most if not all the coding is based on ASCII, meaning it is much easier to port from a PC to an xbox than it is to port from anything to anything else.

if it is to be done, then it have to be with 360, as it will be alot more compatible then compared to other consoles. Also the 360 will work with Vista. And IF they would do that they better do it like final fantasy online. Where PC players would play with console players.
But if it means alot of hours (year,) then its just better to wait for an EVE Online 2 in many years from now on xbox 4000...

did you play ffxi when the console invasion began? it ruined that game.
"hey your 60 give me stuff, wow nice gear give me stuff, has anyone got any gil? can i have some stuff?"
pretty much chanted in the citys by noobs. economy was ruined. loads of people who didnt know how to play ruining groups, people joining groups for 30mins then leaving because there casual gamers.
anyone who thinks wow is full of nubs should try ffxi.

yeah, no casual gamers here, noone beggs here, ppl that just started playing the game are noobs (obviously.)
FFXI prolly got all those issues cause most ppl that got the game, got it for a great series of single player games. Meaning they never had any online experience at all, most of them. I dont see that problem on a console version of EVE. And as I played for many years competing on XBL, I know we would get alot of great pvp:ers.

slightly off-topic...
the new ship graphics...are they coming in Kali One (sept. 06?) if not, when?
/ontopic
I dont think eve would work well on xbox 360...eve isnt a console game...there are things (like smacktalking, hell, even chat in general) that'd be really hard to do with a console controller...

Just wondering about Lua Scripting language.
In Wow, players could make mods which upgrade and add addtional funcationilty to the interface. This was all done using the Lua scrpipting language.
Does not have to be Lua, but I can imgaine the possiblilties even if you choose to use C++ files.

god please no! , i would hate for this games pvp to be like wows! where people are depending on mods to win or have an unfair advantage.
wow has some good mods but most of them are just about gaining an advantage over people who dont have them installed

i can attest that full modding (as WoW) would ruin eve... i wrote decursive... i know.
that being said... an xml format to redesign the display might be good...
but no macro or any scripting language... trust me... or people like me will break it.

Your worried about Price? Sorry but I'll buy a new computer (or upgrade) rather than get the 360' version.
Has anyone here mentioned the resolution on a standard TV?
720x576 is average, some go at 680x460... Personally I like my 1280x1024 a lot better. Now imagine that 720x576 on a 20" TV.... UGLY!
So now your looking at buying an HDTV to go along with your 360' to get good resolution. Woot! Now you have it at 1920+1080 MAX on the Best TV you can buy. So your looking at 1000-2000 simply to get a good Widescreen HDTV.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of Consoles anymore (after sega, to many buttons) My PS2 has shown more DVD's than hours i've played games with it. I want a 360, but If I get one, won't be untill I have a HDTV, and an X2800 video card.
The Power of a PC will never be outdone by a Console. (think about it, what do they make the games on? Other 360's?). The difference is that the Consoles are cost effective because they are single purpose machines. Basically a Videocard straped to a rocket. The difference is most people don't upgrade their computer often, leaving them with a standstill, while the best grows beyond their computer. I guess you have to think of it in terms of Playstation as its been going out a little longer...
The PS1 came out, and was a great gaming machine. Did good. Whoohoo ETC. But once the PS2 came out, Everyone jumped to get it, Why, because the PS1 doesn't play PS2 games. The same thing is going to happen when the 3 comes out. Everyone is going to want to get a 3, because the 2 won't play the new games. On the other hand, Your X800 (that you got when it came out) is going to be able to run games for the next 5 years, so there is no real need to upgrade them as often. You arn't FORCED to change systems because of Incompatability like you are with a console. Therefor, when your son goes out and gets his PS4, you'll begin to think in these lines...
"Why dosen't that look this good on my computer" you ask?
Because your running on an older system.
Anyhow CCP keep things as is (and thanks Dev's for replying earlier) Keep up the good work on one of the best COMPUTER games out there

Bows to a legend.....
I can understand where you are comming from.
I agree with an XML interface redesign, that would be good. Most of the stuff you can automate is already automated in eve.

Last i heard, XBox 360 is triple core 3.2 processor, and 500 mhz graphics card. My computer, now about 9 months old (and i didn't spend all that much on it in the first place, being a bit of a cheapskate) is a dual core 2.8 proccessor, with a 300mhz graphics card. How long do we think XBox will be cutting edge for? 6 months? A year? Then, all of a sudden, your friend will be running in shouting "I've just bought a new PC! Its got a 3.5 ghz proccessor, 1.5gb of RAM, and a graphics card ticking away at 800mhz! And it doesn't just play games! I can type documents, make presentations, code my own programs......". Then you'll be looking at that big lump off plastic under your telly, thinking "I wonder when the new XBox Ultra is coming out?". PC's have got longevity by the bucket full
