EvE has racing... kinda...
at the moment races race in gaint 747 sized ship that don't turn very fast at all.
SO basicly what I'm saying is what everyone dreads
Put ships into eve that have joystick controls but has no combat ability! This would just be fun, come on support the racing RP community with space races!
I could think more into this but it's not really important seeing how many projects are active for you guys right now but this is my two cents in adding some fun into eve.
and of crouse betting, and more so the ability to suicide gank racers. and low sec runs where the race might go straight through low sec or even 0.0 Higher risk better rewards.
the joystick controls would be for goign through the seperate obticals, think like check point 3 is BLAH place, which spawns as the mission starts in a belt, while you fly through you have to avoid rats and flying into an asteroid.
well I can dream can't i? Please visit your user settings to re-enable images.

Joystick support has been declared as a definete NGTH (never going to happen) a long time ago... Imagine what happens if maybe 1000 people decide to do a race (that's merely 1/40 of the online players) - every single joystick movement would have to be transmitted to the cluster and be spread to every single player that happens to be close by. Those huge ammounts of data no technology on earth can handle, not even in close future. With 8 people on one server it might be possible - but more becomes hard if not impossible.

Edited by: MotherMoon on 03/04/2008 05:15:27 I have a dev interview that says other wise, saying that fighters in carriers could be player controled somedays, and asteriod exploration via joystick controls.
but I understand the points that's why I pulled the whole they can't use modules thing.
also you seem to think eve is one server, it's one cluster, it's unsharded but it is by no means one server.
of crouse if those 1000 people in were the same spot then yes.
And besides isn't the new server upgrade with infriband suppose to be like super awesome insane connection and data rate speeds? I'm thinking far far into the future. like even 8 years it's all good :P
but in that case .;.. CCP made a racing game and release it seperatly :)

server upgrades are supposedly coming this summer around the release of factional warfare... this is all of course mere speculation from the interview with hammerhead, and oveur. My views and opinions are my own, not my corp or alliances.
