Windows Eve Online - Butterfly Effect

CCP have released this vid:

I thought I'd post it here to tempt any new players, or provoke discussion .

 

nicely done, however chances are the "hero" would have been shot to pieces upon entering alliance territory.

 

A random in an alliance fleet? God it's hard enough with the spies who are in your alliance already without inviting anyone else along

 

That guys sounds like one of the douches from Lynda.com... or do all north american computer geeks sound the same maybe? Is that a racist comment?

 

As would have the raiders. People do slip by, the patrols can't be everywhere at once

 

I spotted new weapons and shiz. Eve is going to get better, long live broski enterprises!

 

I think the point of the video was to illustrate just how incredibly large the universe CCP created is, and it truly is a remarkable work of programming and game mechanics to create a self-sustained nearly 100% player controlled single world game sandbox.

 

It's not a single world though is it, it's lots of little worlds (systems) all connected together. We don't play with the Chinese players either, so there's 2 big 'worlds' playing eve

Sure economically everyone can trade and stuff, but we can't all get together and have a massive fight?

 

We have .

Remember north vs south?

 

I miss Eve; can't believe it was 2003 when I started playing and 4 years since I stopped :s

 

Can it handle more than 1000 people in a system fighting yet?

 

They reworked much of the lag-related code recently, but I dunno. shall we try?

 

I would love this if it wasn't point and click.


Freelancer 2 please : (

 

I meant in terms of servers/universe/instances. For example, WoW has like 200 different separate servers, not everybody can play in the same instance of the game.

 

Too much goes on in eve for it to be anything else to be honest.

 

Yeah, i know. It would be a lagfest with freeflight. So Freelancer 2 please!!

 

Second. Tried EVE for a few months and didn't really get on with it, although Infinity looks like it might be work a bash eventually.

 

I do miss Eve. I played for almost 4 years starting in 2003 and have a capital ships pilot hanging around.

I've been tempted to go back several times, but missions are repetitive and boring after a while and that's all I ever did with it.

And I'd feel quite left behind by the tech3 ships

 

PvP is where it's at, jump into lowsec, find someone to kill and ruin their day YARRRRR!

Not particularly tempted by faction warfare though roaming in a fleet is fun simply because there's more stuff that you can kill.

if you have command/logistics ships already, tech 3 could technically be a days training away.
