In regards to tournaments, one of the community has been in contact asking for information on hosting a tournament in the UK. CCP will also be at Gencon (Indiana) in August demonstrating the game.
If you are interested in your local hobby shop carrying the CCG, send me an e-mail. I'll forward the information to the CCG Devs.
Don't let the mega box pricing set anyone off, the pricing is very competitive with other CCGs in the industry and the quality is outstanding.
The game can be played with more than 2 decks.
I've been onto my local card shop (Australia) about this since I first heard you guys were doing it. They are interested but have said they will wait for the Scrye review before they commit (I'd email as you said but I know they want reviews and a rep / player in front of them). I'll assume you'll be plugging it to Scrye magazine and leave you to it. Will you have any promotional stuff for retailers available online etc? Rules, scope, retial prices, restrictions on supply etc.
My local card shop also runs sanctioned tournaments. I know it's early days yet but do you have plans for official rankings, prize money etc? Only asking with a view to the steps needed to be able to adjudicate official matches and hosting regs etc.
Yeah, I know this will probably all be answered at release on the CCG website but I'm excited.

The overhead on making a CCG deck is far cheaper than making a detailed Megathron model.
Quote:
It's far to expensive, even in Uk money is around 50 quid, i think ccp should think about lowering the price of offering set decks fro small amounts of monye not massive amounts
As stated many times, this is simply a special pre-order deal before the normal sets are released.
The pricing is very competitive when compared with the rest of the industry.
Already pre-ordered my cards  . Will go nicely next to my 10+ other CCGs.

We already know that when the card game coems out it will have its own web site, but what about a forum?
Will there just be a new section to the eve forum, and how will you handle people who play the card game but not eve, Ie friednds of people who play eve?
If it is just a new section of the eve forum how will you handel poeple who dont play eve tying up usernames in game becsue they have been used on the froums?
Or of you have a totally new forums, will in game accounts be linked to it so that we dont have to have two user names and passwords or rush to register accounts before some ass hat takes them and starts spamming in are name?
Never mind what happens if some out sideer registers a name on the ccg forum then some one makes a char with that name, who gets the name on the forums? (god that would be a nightmare )
Or is it so much easy to say eve card game is for eve players only, and just keep it part of the in game board and that you have to play eve (thus pay for eve) to accseesees it, thus serverly limiting its appeal?
Ps do we even get to see any pics of the cards? Cos i am guessing 98% of us are buying this on faith alone.
I know some one said that there was link in teh thred but not one link in the thred links to any pics.

Does anybody else find it silly that they'll produce a collectable card game, but they won't produce ship models because sales projections are estimated as low?
Ummm... logic in thought? I see none... but... maybe I'm the only one who would rather pay $100 for a model Megathron (or battleship of any race/type) instead of $100 for a deck of cards.
What on earth are you talking about? We're still doing ship models, you shouldn't be drinking so much from the rumour mill, it's bad for you.
And to reiterate, this is not a deck of cards, this is many decks of cards

I read the rules, and seems it borrows more than little from MTG. This can't be a bad thing. However, I'm not yet conviced this one has the depth of rock-paper-scissors^10 as MTG does.

Thanks for that, I was just about to post something about wanting to know the rules/game before I might buy ut.
And being bored silly at work, this gives me something to do as well.

Quite simple, and promising. A lot like M:TG, which I like a lot. The previews look cool, too.

Anyone else concerned about the lack of amour tanking? All ships have shields and no amour specs. Perhaps shields are just a number to represent both shields and amour defence. But why not call it defence instead of shields?
Still it looks like a good game. Cannot wait to try it.

And you shouldn't "consume industrial amounts of beer"  But I guess what he meant, though, that the models that you do aren't freely available for purchase the same way this card game is/will be (at least I haven't seen them sold anywhere?).
What comes to the card game... haven't played collectible card games before, but it does seem interesting. And nice art, as is to be expected. Downside being I'm so low on cash that there's no way I can shell that much out just for the novelty value (heck, unless my brothers bought too, I wouldn't even have anyone to play with)

You can call it defence if you like. I guess shields appeal more to people in general since (to my knowledge) most spaceships in any fiction use shields only. Armor is a shield of a different kind, too, when you think about it. I guess in the end it doesn't really matter what you call it.

Keep in mind that there are people who..
a.) dont respect others hobbies
b. )dont really know what the topic is about.
I am afraid that there arent many persons in my enviroment who can play that game with me cauz they dont know it anyway :(

CCP's marketing department must be a subunit of it's QC department. Take a MMORPG with severe niche-appeal, and make a card game based off MTG, which has an even more severe niche appeal. Oh well, at least it gives people at fanfests something to do other than beg the devs for nerfs/boosts.
By the way, you guys still haven't finished the (in-game) model for the Apoc.

I know you are used to warped Eve economics, where "your alliance having multiple t2 BPOs = massive profit", but here in the real world, a new product offering must have something that seperates it from the pack, in order to achieve sales. Eve's CCG will only appeal to hardcore Eve geeks, and I strongly suspect that it'll only become yet another semi-legitimate way to launder real life $$$ into ISK.
Misplaced priorities for the lose.

Oh noes - someone who isn't a programmer being utilised for other revenue streams
As for trading cards for isk, I'm not sure that CCP will allow it as there are no controls for someone who has Trading Card A to sell this for in-game isk and then doesn't send the card in the post. They have no control over the physical card once it leaves the distribution point for the card game.
Only reason CCP allow Gametime cards is because they control the sale of the GTC's and have the ability to ban players scamming folks out of isk and can actually see the transactions taking place and the GTC's being used.

Hmm, looking at the rulebook, is it just me or does the 'Lost Deliveries' card on page 11 have Duration II at the top, but Duration I on the side?
Edit: aha, so that's why, very clever, very good system for keeping track of turn-to-turn durations.

To me, I see less elements of M:TG, and more of the original Star Wars CCG by Decipher. It's more of a blend I think.
And in no way is that a BAD thing. 
I have sorely missed the old Decipher SW game, so if this comes close, I am VERY, VERY happy.

Hum.. Will you (CCP / EVE-CCG) guys traslate card in others languages (like others ccg)? I know that traslate to others native lahguages take a huge crew and time for it, but, it is realy needed for world domination... (and you did it for eve itself, so..)

I want to see how many more people ***** about "misplaced priorities" and the like, when the people doing the CCG have absolutely nothing to do with QA/testing/development/programming, or ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE EVE SOFTWARE.

Time to get a card game part on these forums. And will trading cards for isk be allowed?
I'm checking with the CCG Dev (who has nothing to do with the Online version of the game for those that are curious) to see where a CCG forum will be located. If one is created, it might be on the CCG site or it might be created in its own group on the official forums.
In regards to trades ivolving CCG cards for in-game ISK or items, I am doubtful. Again, I'll check with the proper staff and post a response in the near future.

I have a question; are there any significant differences between the empires? Do they have some overall doctrine like perhaps amarr have high damage and tank but limited extra abilities etc?
Or is the difference mostly cosmetic with just small differences to individual ships?
