Bishman82	Posted - 2006.10.30 23:29:00 - [1] I'm not saying people who use macros to mine are good or bad but if this were real life, wouldnt ships already have the capability to perform simple tasks like macros? I know it goes against the t&c to use any third party software to control the game but it does seem a bit wierd that ships have the technology to travel at warp speed, cloak etc, but not able to repeat a simple automated task like mining.
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.10.30 23:31:00 - [2] CCP would probably have a roleplaying excuse related to pods and psionics. It would probably be similar to the backstory in Freelancer--that a neural interface was required to run most of the equipment, so it couldn't be effectively automated. -[23] Member- Awesome new space games site, from the editor of E-ON!
Sakura Nihil Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2006.10.30 23:52:00 - [3] Moon mining POSes certainly mine without a pod pilots intervention though - maybe they're manned by a small staff, or does the OP have a point? Or is it just such a big structure that it has enough AI to spread around? Food for thought.
Nikolus Wrighte Caldari JuBa Corp	Posted - 2006.10.30 23:54:00 - [4] If eve was real. id cream myself instantly Moderators. sign my sig or the kitten gets it!
Lisento Slaven Amarr The Drekla Consortium New Eve Order	Posted - 2006.10.30 23:55:00 - [5] If EVE were real I would be into the Exotic Dancer trade business. --- Lisento Slaven wants to be a Space Whaler in EVE. Put in space whales!
LUGAL MOP'N'GLO	Posted - 2006.10.30 23:55:00 - [6] Topic should be changed to "Eve is a game" -- And really thats the point. If everything is 'real' and all is automated, what are you playing? ~~~~~~~~~ I wish my lawn was EMO so it would cut itself. I approve of this message.

POSs have a massive CPU and powergrid and run massive industrial moon miners. They're not using modules. -[23] Member- Awesome new space games site, from the editor of E-ON!
Major Stormer Caldari Demon Womb	Posted - 2006.10.31 00:22:00 - [8] EVE isnt real? OMG WHAT AM IM DOING WITH MY LIFE???? Those that do not adapt become victims of Major Stormer
Dannek Llama F5 and Associates	Posted - 2006.10.31 00:30:00 - [9] Asteroid mining operations probablly would be more drone oriented. You'd have one foreman come in, set up some rules that he wanted the drones to follow regarding asteroid type and concentrations and then have them go out and get the minerals while he ran security, possibly among several operations, or just did hauling back from the asteroid site and a station. Those stupid security canisters sure as hell wouldn't be there though. People would jack those things like it was nobody's business. I don't think Macroing is right, but I don't think the mining game element does anything to discourage macroing. -------------------------------------------------------- Working towards my own personal Dreadnought, one ISK at a time.
Bhaal Minmatar M. Corp Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.10.31 00:32:00 - [10] I'm glad EVE isn't real, I'm much better at RL than I am at EVE... ------------------------------------------------ Current Hobby other than EVE My Hero I give this sig 3/10 for creativity and 10/10 for having me in it :) - Xorus
XiticiX	Posted - 2006.10.31 00:54:00 - [11] Regardless if EVE were real or not, using drones or macros would just end up increasing inflation. More people making money = higher prices for products being bought.
kessah Caldari Veto.	Posted - 2006.10.31 02:38:00 - [12] If 'ifs and but's were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry christmas. -------------------------------------------------------- Forever Pirate 2
Sevarus James Minmatar Meridian Dynamics Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.10.31 02:42:00 - [13] Of course, if EVE were real, we'd have asteroid belts with enough resources to take literally thousands of years to drill through...and they wouldn't grow back. Updated Linux Desktop+EVE+EVE-TV
Ananda Lux Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2006.10.31 02:47:00 - [14] It would be nice if you could at least chain some commands together. Helps the ol' carpal tunnel. Stuff like if you could make a button that would lock target, set orbit and start mining. Not a bit deal, just a nice feature that is found in most MMORPGs Everyone I've ever played except Eve now that I think on it.
Brastagi Caldari g guild	Posted - 2006.10.31 02:49:00 - [15] If Eve was real, I would be taxed for owning a ship... and I wouldn't afford to buy and maintain a battleship --------- Jaw dropping indicate the subject either amused or utterly shocked...
Charles Schwab The Charles Schwab Corporation	Posted - 2006.10.31 03:06:00 - [16] Edited by: Charles Schwab on 31/10/2006 03:06:23 If real life were like EVE... - 1% of the population would control 99% of the total wealth. - You would disappear and be banned from existence if you bought things on eBay. - Everyone in the world would take a 1 hour nap, every day. - Some mornings, the sun won't rise on time. Occasionally, on some days, the sun would fail to appear for several hours. - You'd get approached by a bunch of teens in the supermarket parking lot telling you to either pay them ransom or leave your groceries and walk away. After you pay the ransom, they shoot you anyway. - People aren't afraid of death. Dying just means waking up in a local hospital again. Though occasionally people get distraught over no longer knowing how to drive their car, or losing their D cups. - At large venues such as sports games or concerts, shortly after the event begins, time will stand still. 20 minutes later, everyone would inexplicably find themselves at the entrance to the venue. ___

Actually, the distribution of wealth in EVE is a lot like real life. Its not as extreme as you describe it, but in real life, 1% of the population does control 50%+ of the wealth, which is about true for EVE. In any capitalist economic system, this is generally how it ends up, I would think. -[23] Member- Awesome new space games site, from the editor of E-ON!

IIRC there was a blog on ISK a while back... The difference is that in EVE its more obvious. But in real life, large corporations own the vast majority of the world... and the same is true in EVE. The vast majority of the T2 BPOs and the like are owned by large T2 production corps like NAG, BIG, or T2HL. -[23] Member- Awesome new space games site, from the editor of E-ON!
LUGAL MOP'N'GLO	Posted - 2006.10.31 03:09:00 - [20] I keep seeing this damn topic float to the top and I keep saying one thing in my mind everytime I see it... If EVE was real I'd be dead, because I woulda shot myself in the head multiple times already due to Inflation. ~~~~~~~~~ I wish my lawn was EMO so it would cut itself. I approve of this message.
Gothikia Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.10.31 05:53:00 - [21] Originally by: Lisento Slaven If EVE were real I would be into the Exotic Dancer trade business. AMEN!
Mrmuttley House of Tempers	Posted - 2006.10.31 06:39:00 - [22] If Eve was real then I would be able to destroy your battleship by slamming an interceptor into it at 5km a second destroying both our ships. Now personally I think this would hilarious especially against faction BS like a Rattlesnake. But it doesn't mean it would be good gameplay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Time for a new Sig. Any Ideas?
Seleene Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2006.10.31 06:45:00 - [23] Edited by: Seleene on 31/10/2006 06:45:10 If EVE was real... then I'd actually be a woman (along with quite a few others!) and have to re-think a lot of things about my life. Of course, the fact that I'd be wealthy enough to buy a planet and the best therapists bodes well for my altered mental state. Oh, and Sel is smoking hot, so that helps a bit too. Oh, wait... you wanted to talk about ships and stuff? - Movie: 9UY - Got Fighters?
Rick Dentill Lynx Frontier Inc. Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.10.31 08:26:00 - [24] Hmm well if EVE was real then I think I would be far more evil than I am now. _______
Ethidium Bromide ZEALOT WARRIORS AGAINST TERRORISTS Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2006.10.31 08:32:00 - [25] If EvE was real i'd spend much more time with my gallente slaves. Reeducation is a very important topic to me! Originally by: George Petsch Nochricht: Dei schwarer StroinlSser trifftn Karli[Baatzis] und ruiniert erm so richtig de Dosn, 1343.7 schhodn, oida. My sig is blue not pink although i can't argue with the slave part - Xorus wth whats this blue stuff all of a sudden? Did I miss a mail? -eris Bwahahahaha!11 Immy was here
Malakash	Posted - 2006.10.31 11:40:00 - [26] If Eve was real, I would be one of Lisento customers. Now the real thing, if EVE was real, money would be way harder to make. Think about it, EVEn a new player can make more money in a few hours than his ships is worthy. In real life things do not work like this, you need to spend longer (way longer than in EVE) time to make the money you do in a few hours of gameplay. By the way, can I have your stuff? What? Wrong topic?

Rakhkain	Posted - 2006.10.31 14:40:00 - [28] If eve was real, local would not exist :P
Sha'blach Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2006.11.02 07:22:00 - [29] I'd be tempted to nuke minmatar worlds and cities then be called a Terrorist; afterwhich, I'd be hunted down by a democratic socity saying I am insane. With that said, the truth, however is simple: I am amarr, derr... minny = die = death = slavery = death. Minny = death! Oh, and I'd shoot targets 50+ miles away with a backyard mounted 425mm Railgun II... oh, let's not forget about the exotic dancers; I'd do them too. ------------ *Peregrinus Amarria*
TheDevilsJury principle of motion R i s e	Posted - 2006.11.02 08:31:00 - [30] Originally by: Brastagi If Eve was real, I would be taxed for owning a ship... and I wouldn't afford to buy and maintain a battleship That would be true until you incorporate yourself and write off your battleship as a business purchase. Tax exemptions ftw? ^^^^ Certified Anti-CHON Fit ^^^^
