So I voice my opinions again:
I run Eve classic everywhere as Premium is not able to run on anything crossing my hands yet, well I've seen a few laptops, but they were mostly top of the line and not anywhere near something I could seize more permantly.
I've been looking to upgrade my Private gaming rig for a while now, this isn't due to the fact that it's unable to support premium, but rather the fact that I'm getting older and my 19" screen is too small to support the 11680x1024 resolution in amanner where I can sit back and watch. I now need to actually sit close to tht screen focussing on the details. And yes I know I could do with lower resolutions, but when I'm outside the stations I do like to se all that pretty grafics in that little tiny square of free space I have. 90% of my screen is takken up by various information windows in a relative casual overwiev state, when actually manaing my info, that little square is blocked up with most of the other overwiev stuff. So upgrading my "gaming rig" is rather closely as I won't accept nothing but a Slaptop (15-20 kgs) with something having minimum 21" screen and resolution of my 1680X1024 (I NEED THAT).
I do multies yes, and that runs on various easy to get by systems (mostly T43 Thinkpads) but there I tend to have everything on a run idle state. Lessening the need for the 1680x1024 resolution, seems 1024x800 is just fine as all my info is gathering on a diffrent screen. I forgot to mention that My Dell Inspiron 8600 (Gaming rig) has a FX5200 card or something like it, so SM2 should be runable on it.
Now as I've gotten a bit more room, I've been considering getting a desktop too, figure I can fit it in somewhere and well the pricetags are a 10th of the moveable, so what if I can't go to LAN parties or come to fanfest unless someone provides machinery on site? I can live with that I guess, I've heard there something called sunligth???
When my old laptop is too old to maintain it's functions of course I'll need to replace it which will currently cost me let's see, 35.000 DKR converted to british pund? be 3.500 ú or something in the area of 7.000 $, assuming I can negotiate a discount, less then 3.000ú is ridicoulas, Dell won't do it.. That's a bit of savings so as usual I'll need to plan those cycles ahead. Finance crises and personnal stuff, drained the cuffers untimely, which is why I'm considering a cheap Desktop now (affortable, and a need well atleast 3 runnable machines to be replaced these days)
I'd love to see as proposed a few times a feature that collects my Rig configurations each time I log in, every time. Hell put it in the EULA. Take my stats, do some calculations, compare to the user base. Optimaize the cliet for the user base. I wonder why this isn't something that's there already, all the info is available, only the user resists to share the info, which will help CCP to make plans and strategies to better utulize information like this. Well sure not everybody playing EVE, plays EVE exclusively. Neither do I but I've learned over the years that CCP actually isn't ONLY in this for the money, but they actually mean it when they say they want to make the ame better, and that it's not the profit that drives them, and this is the ONLY reason I offer any and all information they want or don't know they want. Course I KNOW they'll find a way for that to benefit me personally.
In summary: (somethings I didn't get into depth with)
1. Keep the pretties coming.
2. Kill the lag monster. I mean can't you make it extinct or somethign?
3. Collect the intell (Rig configurations) with client feature, this forum thread is not used by all aspects of us.
4. Keep us in the herd. Make sure we can log in to swicth skills atleast. -> This wireframe client or in station client we've requested ever since I took a subscribtion. Now is a the time to make it. It won't matter to the new players, but we veterans will love it, some swear by it. Make a premium 'n a mapless
Still waiting for ingame voice, with voice mods. |
