Im sure its been said before but being the noob i am i dont know how to check but... who here would like to play eve... just for the fun of it? without the treat of getting ganked by a bunch of 40 year olds with nothing better to do with their lives? yes i know its what makes eve eve and eve is fun.... but it is slightly annoying and frustrating at times to. i mean think about it.... to play eve offline, solo, only you in the universe (and NPCs of course) just for fun. nothing is tied to the online version in terms of characters or ships or ISK. they could sell it for say, between $20 to $50 (AU). They get even richer (which they so like) and we, get to just mess about without fear of getting ganked! Yes i know it would not be for everyone... but its still a nifty idea dont you think? P.S any 'oh but it wouldn't be eve' comments are just going to get ignored by me because as iv said YES! i know it wouldn't be eve eve! but that is not the point of this discussion! |

You know what else they could do?
I beleive I was that in anoteh rgame that had Open PvP. it was Free to Play and they had Open PvP, and trading, so they came upo with an item thatthey sold through the store.
Adn it made one invulnrable to any attack for 24 hours. And people used that for the long Trading runs. Everyone was buyingthem. It kinda affected the Player Killer community in that game "Pirates" but enhanced the PvP in the game, the majority of people were happy and the company was making good money form these items too.
As when peopel brought back the goods and made their money they would hop in to their combnat ships and go out and have fun fighting and sinking one another. They had money enough to be able to afford losses in game.
Would you pay for something like that in EVE? Instead of an Offline version I mean. Do you think it is something that could work here?
I mean, immagine it, can you immagine all the High Sec Miners running to Nulsec to mine thos juicy asteroids there?
All the traders and Freghters going back and forth from Nulsec to HighSec, from trading Hubs to the heart of nowhere filling up the stations with goodies?
Whoooweeee! heheh Gold rush!
I am skeptical, but I am curious to know what you think, or others.
I would prefer instead of expanding Highsec to give people same oportunity to establish stronger base from hwere to launch themselves in to PvP fun ina way that is affordable to them. Nullsec could see more action like that, no need of Low sec anymore to act a buffer.
First golden rule is, "Fly what you are willing to lose", well when people have more they are also more willing to risk more, take more risks and are in the lookout for more rewards, and loss is less shocking.
The reverse happens when you constrain people. They want to keep safe the hard earned little that they have, and losing it is a bigger shock.
Look at you, you are seekig to play by yourself offline..it has come to that point... |

EVE-Offline without other players would be boring and useless.
Missions are boring, Mining is boring and useless Indy is boring, and useless Trade is boring and useless Sov is boring and useless Lowsec is boring and useless Highsec would be boring and useless.
If you want EVE-Offline
Play No Mans Sky, but don't land at the planets.

Just go hop onto the test server. Sisi will provide you all the online but offline content you can ever need or want.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

The thought of EvE Offline is comparable to solo sex for me. You don't have to deal with all those pesky asking her out, dating, letting your personalities shine, petting, post-coital chat, making her a coffee in the morning and whatnot.
So cool and comfy is it? Who would realistically want the real deal instead? I don't know why people bother.. in either case.
They say Alpha clones are only for trying stuff. I say it's just the Hard Mode.

What did i say about "eve wthout players is boaring" guys.... i also said yes >IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE< and as for this X thing..... i want to play EVE offline, not some rip off game no matter how close it matches eve it is still not eve. AND i actually like mining, it is my faveroite thing to do in eve and only worrying about pirates is a nice relaxing way for me to spend the end of the day.... as opposed to constantly under threat of getting blown up the moment someone exits a jump gate let alone enters the belt... i told you guys its not for everyone.... so please dont clog up the discussion saying its not your idea of fun... if its not your idea of fun YOU KEEP PLAYING NORMAL EVE! we dont need you telling us what a bad idea it is.... eeewww PVP! yuck! who wants to do that! see... pointless isnt it? |

Playing on the test server is your best bet.
The game will be reset every few months though.

I was just thinking about what the test server actually is... is it like an offline place? do you get acsess to all ships because it is reset every few months or when ever? is it just like a big playground while your waiting for skills/deciding weather or not you want to go omega on the actual server? |

most eve pilots are super nice, they just use shiny laser beams instead of hugs most of the time. If you just use a little bit of caution and don't make yourself an easy target the game is relatively risk free. All these years I'm surprised no one has come and ganked me just for the lulz of it.

The irony.
If you come here insulting the community, expect to be called out for it.
If you can't hack the game because you don't have the emotional stability, or the mental capacity, or simply because you are antisocial, expect to be called out for it.
You could have easily put your OP with the same message minus the insults of everyone; and not received it back at you. That was your choice. Suck it up butter cup. HTFU and all that. But of course, as a Carebear, HTFU is like a disease.

The only way you are going to do that is pull the models from the game client (which can be done) and make your own offline game.
Can it be done? Sure. You won't be able to sell it or anything. There is math behind everything in the game, all you need are the formulas and you can code it.
Is it worth it?
Hell no. Go code a killer robot or something that makes a difference in the world.

But I know it's online too. You need an Omega account to join. As far as I know, you can spawn yourself a Titan by some commands. And mine with it.

Well i recently read up a bit and joined and it is what ever you had at the last system mirror (so if your flying a ship of one type when it mirrors then change to another you will be in the first ship on that server until the next mirror unless you get yourself another on the test server) and im only an alpha and i got in fine. now im trying to get out though because CCP being the pricks they are want to 'share my data with third partys' yeah, no thanks. i have no need for undy adverts... Oh and love your little quotey thing xD dont suppose you have a spare billion ISK laying about so i can turn on easy mode do you? xD >NOTE< >THAT WAS A JOKE< >NOT< Begging... suppose i should keep jokes like that to a minimum though huh? |

Quote:https://community.eveonline.com/support/test-servers/test-servers-overview/
Public test server: Singularity The public test server, Singularity (or Sisi), is open to all players. Its purpose is to try out new features - normally the next major patch for Tranquility will be tested on this server. Character information is replicated (=mirrored) to the Singularity server every few months, but keep in mind that if your account got created after the last replication, you will not be able to access the server. Gameplay mechanics and playing environments may be quite different from what you're used to on Tranquility. Here, the world is constantly changing.
Quote:https://community.eveonline.com/support/test-servers/singularity/
Singularity (Sisi) is a public test server for EVE Online that is used by both CCP developers and EVE players to test changes and new features before they are released to the Tranquility server. Test servers have a very strict set of rules. Its primary function is to provide a test environment as close as possible to the live environment of Tranquility. For this purpose, the Tranquility database is "mirrored" (copied) over to the Singularity server once every few months (or more often, if needed by the CCP Quality Assurance department). For testing the performance of the server and client with many players at the same place (especially fleet-fights) there are periodical mass testing events.
The Test server doesn't sound too bad, definitely sounds great for making vids and writing up guides.

Its a nice idea to have game in an EVE universe that you could play even alone, at night, somewhere in the woods, without using computer.
CCP made a game that can be played that way (only with few other players) before they have made EVE. Maybe they could reskin it and sell as something in the theme of EVE world now. As for single player game of that type, I suppose some electronic version would have to be made, for smartphones.

I'm curious what exactly you believe this eve offline world would be like? what would you do in it? would you spend all day running lvl 4 missions? well your gonna need a ship for that right, so just buy one off the marke... oh wait, theres nothing for sale on the market, because there is no other players manufacturing them. Well I guess your going to need to build it yourself. so buy that blueprint, jump in your rookie ship and get mining (or I guess a venture since the NPE gives you one of those) and lets hope it doesn't get blown up by belt rats while your out there. want drones for that venture to defend yourself, well your gonna need to mine the minerals for that one first as well.
Don't have the isk to buy the blueprints (they can get really pricey) well just sell some of that ore on the market... whats this, theres no other players to buy your minerals? well I guess your just going to grind some lvl 1 missions mindlessley until you can get the isk for destroyer blueprints... and then you will need to build those.
repeat add nauseum, until FINALLY you have your battleship, and all the fittings you need for it, victory is yours, time to grind those lvl 4 missions for some dank isk... too bad you got nothing left to spend it on, well, time to start grinding for that solo titan then. that you will never actually have a use for. mining titan maybe? |

i understand what you are saying , in eve the game was made with pvp in mind, the bulk of the gameplay is actually pve , what i would suggest is train a battleship , undock from jita and let rip the smart bombs , well thats my plan when i can fly them .
after you have done this come back and say that wasnt fun , if you get in a corp with many members who do a bit of everything , and have some wars , you will be amazed on how much fun you are missing .
suggest you join a corp who does many things .
wish you well

But yeah Egosoft's X series would be a lot better game than EvE Offline. Or even Microsoft's Freelancer. Ancient, but combat is great, and it has mods to have capitals available.

Dear OP, there already is a game for your needs, you can play it as MMO, within a private group or in solo mode. IIRC, it's name is Elite: Utter Boredom, nah that's not the name, ah, yes, it's name was Elite: Carebears heaven, nah, that isn't iteither, now i remembered, it's name is Elite: Dangerous, albeit there isn't anything dangerous in the game, except when your head hits your keyboard when you fall asleep.

Your idea is stupid and already exists in the form of the Test Server. How are you (nothing better to do with your life than play games) any better than the 40 year old vets (who have nothing better to do with their lives than play games).
You're the one with nothing better to do than post a sh*t idea about a thing that already exists that you were too lazy to look for, before flaming the people who helpfully inform you how stupid you're being.

Im sure its been said before but being the noob i am i dont know how to check Perhaps the "search forums" box in the upper-right of all forums pages might be of some use?
but... who here would like to play eve... just for the fun of it? I do play this game for the fun of it. I'm having a lot of fun here. Many other people are too. Sorry you're not.
without the treat of getting ganked by a bunch of 40 year olds with nothing better to do with their lives?
Again? ok.
they could sell it for say, between $20 to $50 (AU). You are in luck! They do! It's called SiSi (Singularity, the test server).
... without fear of getting ganked! There are many things you can do to mitigate that risk a lot. I say that as someone who has done much mining in the past. Learn and adapt yourself, your equipment, your behavior, and your circumstances = no problem.
... but its still a nifty idea dont you think? no
P.S any 'oh but it wouldn't be eve' comments are just going to get ignored by me... Sadly, I believe you...

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Excuse me I resemble that - however most of the gankers I know are 20 somethings with no life .....try the X series of games for single player The test server is closer to what he's describing. It is literally EvE without other players. The two main differences would be the periodic server mirroring, and the seeded market. Without the seeded market, you'd have to build everything from scratch. Starting with a noob ship and civilian mining laser. And having to save up isk to buy skills and blueprint originals (no bpcs for you, bud) using the civilian gatling laser on your impairor to collect bounty from highsec rats.
That would make for a very, very challenging and tedious grind of a game. Some people would enjoy that, I guess. I wonder if enjoy is really the right word. Gambling addiction. Grinding addiction.
Eve just doesn't work as a single player game. It needs blobs, emergent gameplay, narrative-building player interaction, and the economy is wholly dependent on the MM part of MMORPG. There are only so many ways you can say "Just won't work," but it can't be overstated. |

An offline version of EVE would be you flying around a gigantic empty universe with no economy or market. It's the players that make EVE what it is. Offline EVE just simply wouldn't work.
Even if you are talking about having an EVE clone with AI and scripted events it'd still be pointless. What would be the point? It's the human interactions that make EVE great, without them the game would be terrible all the time. |

And it made one invulnerable to any attack for 24 hours. And people used that for the long Trading runs. Everyone was buying them. It kinda affected the Player Killer community in that game "Pirates" but enhanced the PvP in the game, the majority of people were happy and the company was making good money frorm these items too...
Seriously, I have to ask: a) does that game have a name? b) what happened to it? c) why are you not playing that game if it is free of "Player Killers" now and instead try to play EVE which you seam to have a problem with
If they would introduce an item like that into EVE, yes it would have a significant impact on the piracy. It would have an even bigger impact on the hauler business. What it will not create is more profit. It will turn multiple activities where you can outsmart your competition by avoiding pirates or organizing into a AFK only activity. It seams that is what you really want.
The idea of such an item is so completely horrible and blatantly pay2win that no one should ever play a game which introduces such a completely idiotic concept.
Apart from that, the common carebear once again forgets that this item will be available for the non-carebears as well and it will be turned into a weapon so horrible you will be immediately back on the forums and cry some more about how people screw you over. And believe me there would be ways to turn this into a horrible weapon...

By the way, just wanted to say I like the OP's idea, especially since I'm a PvE player.
Being an explorer / mission runner I choose to play solo against NPC's. I enjoy it and don't really need to engage with other players. Now don't get me wrong, I like the aspect of having other players online with me in the Eve universe. However I definitely don't need some wanna be PvP player come in and steal my loot in an attempt to get me to attack him. Also don't need some wanna be PvP player try to suicide gank me while I'm slowboating my way to the gate during a multiple jump route.
Despite those annoying nuisances I play this game for 2 reasons,
1 - I haven't found another space game that's comparable to Eve 2 - I haven't bothered looking for a space game that's comparable to Eve

DMC And what is the reason you don't just play on the test server where you can have that? Basically the answer is what Brenton Darnbrough posted above.
Just to clarify, I didn't find out about the test server Singularity until after I had been playing on Tranquility for a couple of years. At that time I had started working on the Faction Standing Repair Plan, aka 'The Plan', which I contributed to the Eve Community and needed to show players my in-game progress. I also became active in creating and editing pages for Evelopedia and Eve Survival.
Main point is since Singularity is a mirror of Tranquility and gets reset every 3 months or sooner, all character progress would be erased. Obviously players need to first develop their characters in Tranquility and then use Singularity to test anything of question. And as I said earlier in this thread, the test server is great for gathering info to create PvE walkthrough guides.

You can set the skills on TQ and then play on the test server in complete isolation. Or what progress did you mean? Also yes, EVE is a subscription based game. They continually develop it and add stuff, that is what we pay for. You get a free slice of the content and if you just want "to have a good time" you can do that as an alpha perfectly well.

I really like the EVE community (abrasive as it may be) and I think an offline version of EVE would lose a core part of what makes this game fun.
There are surely more space-RPGs better suited for PvE progression than EVE, and I doubt any future game will attempt the same wacky experiment EVE has and succeed just as wildly. I hope this community can somehow prove to be worthwhile to you. |

:O eve is online? never notice it only the patch was online right? People always complain about gankers. Use your second char in your account let that follow you where you are. Use it to go in to the sector when you have the feeling or it`s red on the map and jump with it. See if it`s get gank if no free room if yes well you know. Little work and the problem is fix easy. You lose nothing if the alt gets asskicked. |
