Seriously. Why invent a more primitive and generally worse performing wheel when you can either use the unreal engine or any other tried and true method?

This would obviously cut dev time, increase the performance of WIS on more computers, and let the dev focus on gameplay instead of dynamic lighting and lens flares!

can you actually use unreal for a persistent mmog?

Because CCP don't want a separate .exe for each time you're docked, maybe?

dont need a seperate exe, use unreal for the whole of eve

Because the Unreal engine requires licensing fees, and they ain't cheap.

Epic charges $2,500 per development seat (that is, $2,500 for each computer that uses the UDK for development), plus a payment of $2,500 on the first $50,000 in revenue, plus a 25% royalty on any 'UDK-related revenue' thereafter:

Also, all of you who think it's performing badly, have you tried turning it down from maximum quality? For me the difference is 30 vs 60 fps. As to how **** the graphics look, I pretty much don't care, I'm still happily playing games like KOTOR 1 every now and again and I'm still content. Graphical glitz matters little past the initial few minutes of "whoa", I'd much rather they spent their time making mechanics that make sense, and makes the gaming experience itself more fun and more immersive. vOv

Dust uses a modified version of the unreal engine so dont think the licensing issues are there.

You know the performance issue in CQ is interesting anyway.

I was mildly disappointed when I found that even at lower settings my Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS (a fairly outdated card now) slowed down to 5 fps when in the CQ.

Finally I decided it was time to clean the guts of my computer, and discovered that the fan had gotten a bit clogged on the video card.

After I cleaned it and popped it back in I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only could I now turn the graphics up to maximum, I was getting 15-20 fps at that level.

Point being, people getting really poor frame rates or over heating their cards really, really should bite the bullet and actually give that card a good cleaning. I know it's a crap job that nobody wants to do, but it very well could improve your entire EVE experience and is well worth the trouble.
