Pirates of the burning sea allows tactical fighting with amazing graphics and fully customisable ships. You can even design your own ships for approval using rendering programs. And it seems to have most of eve's plus points and game style without the "blob" fleet battle problems. But would it compete with Eve? Would you be tempted to switch?

It looks good until you realise that there's virtually no penalty for dying, and that the map resets itself every so often.

I will probably give it a try, however, I don't think I am going to quit playing EVE. One thing does not cancel out the other 
Now on what others might do, I cannot say.

IŠm gonna give it a try, but I donŠt think it has the potential to beat EVE.

Maybe this would be a possible eve killer, or at the least a nice addition to scifi MMO genre.

Played a buddies beta acct for about an hour. Some of it was interesting, but I was left utterly confused on what to do. Did alot of random drive-by shootings to see what I could get away with and such.
Still a very unfinished project. EVE has alot more going for it, imho.

http://www.flyinglab.com/pirates/logs.php?log_select=378 Quote:
Every ship has a number of Durability points attached to it. For many ships, this number is quite large; your first few ships, when you're just starting out, will likely have dozens of Durability points. For higher-end, more powerful ships, the number is smaller. We're still discussing just how much smaller, and we'll be tuning those numbers extensively once we've released the system to the beta testers, but my ballpark guess is less than 10, and for the very powerful ships of the line, less than 5.
When your ship loses a point of durability, that point is lost for good. When your ship loses its last point of Durability, the ship is destroyed, and you're sent back to port to take command of one of your other ships. If you've lost all your ships, you're provided with a 'basic' ship that's roughly appropriate to your current rank, but less effective than any of the available player-crafted ships appropriate to your rank. This basic ship has one point of Durability.
So yes there is a death penalty and it seems pretty fair no more would you lose a ship in one mistake that cost you a lot of hours to get. But you do lose it after dying a few times. your ships basically have "lives" and the number would be poportional to the value of the ship.

for me it is mainly 3 things that keeps me here:
1. the death penalty
2. no need to buy extensions
3. the player driven market

It just raises my expectations for "walking in stations" a lot.. out somewhere in 2012 or so. Seeing those tropical beaches while I stare at an asteroid field ; its unfair. Too bad the ships are all just bathtub wooden toys.. no high tech, no interest from me.
Those space woman better look good -- and the bars better have decently rendered ale.

Will be interesting to see how well the player driven market in PotBS will do.

What he said. It looks kind of fun, but without a decent death penalty, with map resets, and without player Empire building (you just pick a "nation" and fight for them) its certainly no EVE beater.

No death penalty?
Quote:
If your ship is sunk, you are returned to the nearest friendly port. All unsecured cargo that you were carrying (things like raw materials and items created as part of the economy) will be gone, and the ship will lose one "durability point." When a ship runs out of durability points, it's gone, and you'll have to buy, build, or steal a new one (depending on your profession and inclination
).
Also if you are a pirate and you board a ship you get to keep the ship but it only has one "life" the loser goes home with a "life lost" as you can just run at people in groups and board them and keep the ship this seems a great idea.

A Pirates of the Caribbean MMO is in the works too.
The most successful pirate was Bart Roberts, a man the pirates forced into service then after their captain was killed they elected Bart to be the new captain. He was one of the most ruthless of all pirates, surpasing Captain Kidd and Blackbeard. His crew took 470 vessels in their short careers, lasting less than 3 years. He was known for hanging govenors and laying waste to towns that opposed him as well.
Thoughts expressed are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect my alliances thoughts. |

It was looking so good.
I really wanted to try this game, get in there from the start.
Until I read this:
A robust mission system, a fun and relatively rapid leveling scheme (about 300 - 350 hours from level 1 to 50 for the average player), safe respawn points, and NPCs that are animated in the extreme and well beyond what we're used to seeing, even in the hyper-popular WoW, are the obvious similarities.
Levelling.
No thanks.
