arent thoose card-games more targeting at the preteen/teen age group ?
i dont think it fits the people that play eve.
and i hope ccp is not trying to attract more "young" players to eve,
cause that is why i stopped playing my last mmorpg.
I think it's for anyone who feels like they want it really. 
The average age is very high in EVE, compared to other MMOGs at least, so I doubt there's a risk of that happening.

Hmm. Now all we need is models of ships - i would buy metalic ones off CCP for sure, not sure about cards though.
Why? For Minmatar curl some duct tape. For Caldari just paint a funny shaped stone. If Eve had kewl ships, dunno, like Wing Commander had, yeah, maybe then.
Also, all ship models would have to come with warnings:
frigates: not suitable below the age of 3, small part can be swallowed
raven: not suitable below the age of seven, lots of spike thinggies can poke eyes out
titan: warning, risk of back injury.
Seriously: Why I would play an Eve trading card game when I can play Magic or something is beyond me - I have a hard enough time convincing local area friends to play Eve and not quit. To limit my trading card game to a new game that is limited to a target group that small in comparision and buy loads of cards for a new game ... not gonna happen. Could also have to do with the fact that the background story, races and stuff never appealed to me that much.
If Eve had kewl ships and kewl races and actually immersion that might convince me. Like real aliens, like me actually knowing how a Sansha's freak looks like (why don't they have some real alien-like stamp-sized thumbnail pic that taunts you with canned responses during NPC combat?). So many questions ...
But I realize a TCC is as good as being able to print yer own money, so I can't blame CCP for trying ...

Tbh I would much rather have a board game for EvE Online than a CCG.
Designer games like Puerto Rico or Caylus require a lot of thinking and are fun to play with a group. There are already quite a few computer game conversions like Age of Mythology, World of Warcraft or Age of Empires III, especially the latter one looks promising.
Just make sure that you get a good game designer that lives up to the high standards modern board games have to fulfill.

And for those of you who have no experience with trading card games, this is how it works:
Each player uses one deck (at a time). You can play with the preconstructed decks, but the idea is to build your own decks that work around a concept which is usually a strategy such as aggro (lots of attacking monsters and spells to boost them or direct damage etc) or control (spells to prevent damage, remove monsters, buy more time, get resource advantage etc.) or even specific card combos that work well with a deck built around them.
When building a deck it's of course best to evaluate the most fitting cards available for suitability. And that's what makes it a trading card game - you buy boosters and hope you get good cards which you can then either use or trade for others to get the ones you want and need for your deck(s).
For casual play you never have to buy more cards. The pre-constructed decks are usually rather balanced between eachother, so they are well suited for learning the basics and just enjoying the game without the strategical aspect.
You could say building a deck is much like fitting a ship - you prepare defenses and offenses that work well against other decks and less well against others. Like you need to know what modules exist and which you can use, you need to know how the cards work and choose the suitable ones.
Because decks are always shuffled, there is an element of luck and when building a deck one needs to consider how many of which cards to use (4 of the same is the max in MTG) to make it likely that starting hands are favourable and there is enough 'mana' (assuming there is something similar in EVE TCG).
In actual play it's also important to know when to play different cards which comes down to player skill and tactical knowledge of both your deck, the opponents deck (metagame knowledge), the cards in general and the game mechanics. You take risks and win or lose.
Usually games are 1v1's (so no fear of getting blobbed ), but they are a lot of fun with more people aswell (FFA, 2v2 etc.) and add more tactics in the game. And it's also a good way to spend some social time (with beer, too).
I just hope the game has tactical potential, and I might get some friends to play it with me.

$100 bucks?!?!?! Dammmmnnnn....Looks like I'm gonna be hurting for cash for a bit...
Will the price go up after the preorder time is over? Is this a one run thing like EON?
I know I'll be getting both decks, but I don't wanna kill my cash.

Although many CCGs are aimed at younger people, not all of them have to me. Magic is mainly played by older people and is in my opinion quite a fun game, if somewhat expensive if you want to play competively.
I hope there is going to be some more information about this game though, since I doubt many people are going to spend $100 on a game they know nothing about.

I can so see how that works:
I tap seven Omber and thirty-three stacks of Tritanium cards and bring a Harphy into play. Then I tap my Covetor and with the ore bonus I attach the Webber to the Harphy, and tap it to gank your Executioner.
My damage goes on the stack, but the Executioner does something weird and after trying to call Wizards of the Coast and realizing they don't do this thing, I petition the stalemate.
Next, my kitchen table is occupied for the coming two and a half years while I wait for a fix for the problem

In that case, get Twilight Imperium, its well worth it. Its a huge game, and its a little different from other stratagy board games in that you must win by a political victory, rather by pure domination. It creates some very tense moments...
To though rolling over the $96.79 price, you must realize that that gets you 500 cards, tokens, and a manual! It boils down to about $0.20 per cards which really is typical, plus a little more for the extra materials.
I just broke down and shelled out some for a year subscription to E-ON, and I don't think I could take much more to my bank account. I WILL definitely be getting at least one starter set, though, when they can be bought separately.
CCP, will you be offering wholesale deals to retailers? Or will this be only available through CCP online? There's this little gaming store down the street from me - pretty popular because its a huge college town (the college, not the town) - and they would probably be interested in getting a few boxes.

Nothing has been officially released yet. I know that they have had a bit of a re-design since they were last seen at the last FanFest (not by me, sadly). The most info on them would have been in E-ON Issue 2, but if you missed out on that you can view a sampler they put out.

the facts are the majority of people who play eve wont know any RL friends that play eve aswell, even if you do have RL friends that play eve the odd's on them also buying the cardgame at that price and quantity is very small.
96$ is alot of money for something most people probably would never have the chance of using, if your going to fanfests or corperation meets then i imagine owning a pack is a good laugh but probably nor worth 96$ ,unless eve-online tournaments start poping up all over like there are yugi-oh ones then i doubt many of these starter kits are going to sell.
i would hardly call them "starter kits" when they cost 96$ and u get tons of stuff they should be called PREMIUM KITS
starter kits should have been like 25% of the stuff for 25% of the price.

Yeah thanks, already got that one .
That is, the second edition. Third edition seems to be a huge improvement over the second one, as it is more similar to the aforementioned designer games. You dont simply build up your fleet and smash everything in a giant dice fest.
Still, I think combining a strategy game and the character building approach of EvE has the potential for a quite different and interesting game.

I'm fine with the card-game and advertising it.
But please never add special cards with keys that give you an in-game item.
I think that was planned for a wow card game about 1 year ago, don't know if they did it. I'm not 15 anymore and not gonna spend hundreds of dollars for collector cards just to eventually get the code for a Titan.
