Originally by: Gandanga The best space game that never was is still in my opinion Jumpgate.
Been around for years ( 5-6 now ? ) has very dated in station graphics . For various reasons , including its publisher ( not developer ) having problems it never really got promoted as it should have been .
But for pure adrenalin PvP there are not many mmorpg to touch it The difference between it and eve is that combat is down to tactics and skill ( skill as in personal ability not as in how long you have paid a company to spend time earning sp ) as the spaceship you are flying is controlled by the pilot via a joystick ( or some people use mouse/keyboard ) . To hit your enemy you need to fly your ship to make your guns hit .
If ccp introduced a zone with eve graphics and ships flyable like jumpgate it would be mind blowing awesome , not that current eve is not already awesome .
Jumpgate is still going I think. I revisited it a couple of months ago, but there are only a few hardcore players left.
While it still had life in it, I have to say jumpgate had the best PvP system EVER. *****pit view, joystick control, etc. ALSO, the great thing was that NOWHERE you went was completely safe. If you blew someone up in noob space, the only consequence was that you'd get a bounty that other players could collect with no penalty to themselves. No NPCs to come and instagank you . --------------------------------------------------------------------

Originally by: Cattraknoff EvE is the only one, EvE 2 will be the next one (thats if they dont keep making upgrades/expansions)
Eve 2 = Kali.
CCP wont make an EvE 2, just better GFX, content and stuff to keep up with times \o/
I think kali is effectivly Eve 3 or 4.
I lose count...
Release = Eve 1 EXODUS = Eve 2 Was Red Moon Rising a full update? if so that is eve 3 Kali = Eve 4
And no, there is nothing at the scale of eve...
Easy Target
Na it was like this.
Eve release - Secod Genesis Eve 2 - Castor Eve 3 - Exodus Eve 4 - Cold War Eve 5 - Red Moon Rising Eve 6 - Kali

Originally by: Isyel Short answer. No.
Longer answer. Doubt there ever will be.
(P.S. Praying for a Mechwarrior (Battletech?) MMO that is similiar to eve regarding the dangers of PvP. Feel free to join me anyone. )
Huh, funny, that's been spooking through my head for the past year or so. Wish someone'd develop something like that, I've even taken a stab at it myself (being a programmer is fun at times) but considering it's more massive than my usual "lets just build something stupid over the weekend" projects I gave up on it.
Still have a ****ton of design docs though.

Originally by: Mike Moss No, nothing like EVE. Nothing.
We can all hope for World of StarCraft, I guess, but don't hold your breath.
Galactic Civilizations 2, "galciv2," is a strategy game somewhat like Master of Orion 2, but it is online only in the sense that final game scores are kept in a "metaverse" database. There is no player interaction in real time. Worth mentioning only because it requires a reasonable amount of intelligence to play it.
Yup.
Except take out the cartoonish graphics engine and replace with EVE Style graphics or new generation graphics engines such as UT 07 Quake Wars.
If WoS was to be released that would be a must try game for me, but I doubt it'll be released soon since Blizzard is already making hundreds of millions off of WoW by itself.

Check out Vendetta Online. I tried it, couldn't get used to the piloting system.

Looks interesting. Any idea how big their player-base is?

Originally by: Arcterran X3 is supposed to be a decent single player space sim. You'd need a pretty good computer to run it though. It has production, trading, station building, combat, etc.
I've played X3 before I had to downgrade to a less capable PC (and so cant play it without frying that one), and I've found it to be a worthy space game, even though its so complex it boggles the mind @_@
Its like the learning curve of EVE minus the MMO aspect.
Its really cool though, and the mod community for it is so active, it makes our forums look dead :( -

I'm with ya on that Isyel. That would be awesome to have a mech MMO with EVE type PvP.
Unfortunately, there are no other games out there that can compare to PvP in EVE. EVE is a one-of-a-kind game.
I would buy that straight away, I wanna be the first in a Mad Cat  I helped - Cortes What a shiny and lovely place here - Eshtir Well lets make it a party atleast :D -Xorus RAWWWR!11!!1!2 SIG HIJACK!!11!1 |

There is another , very little heard of space mmo called Vendetta , that actually puts you in the flight seat of your ship.
Respectifully though, there's a reason I'm still here. 
Bah posted already, but same opinion I think.

Theres no money really in spaced based MMO's the big sellers will always be the fantasy games outside of eve the only other game that has space flight is Star Wars Galaxies. BattleTech Online will be another great game but its going to be swamped much like Eve has been, its hard to compete with the fantasy genre.
My only regret is going out with a whimper and not guns blazing. |
