    From the trailer… Why is this game being made? And who is it for? It just looks like regular eve but maybe without skill injections. I’ve also never heard of this game before so I guess I’ll see if I can find more info on it.

      They keep trying to find new ways to monetize the Eve lore, but no one plays Eve for the lore. And the people who are into Eve’s unique kind of economy-battle simulator don’t seem like they’re particularly interested in first-person-view type alternatives. I suspect it will dribble about for a while, then go the way of Dust 514 and Valkyrie.

    I guess it’s like Rust but in space? Survival MMO set in the EVE universe? Not really what I’m looking for but it could work I suppose.

        What’s it like these days? I sometimes miss the heyday of like 2011-2014 EVE, but I stopped keeping track of what was going on some time after quitting. I also kind of lost faith in the direction it was going and what CCP was doing.

        As someone who’s been around the block, is it in a good state now?

          Depends what you are looking for. If you enjoyed capital warfare, no. They are expensive now. If you like big tidi fests, sure. What were you doing/enjoying back then?

            To be honest, I was flying with a specific group of people and when the main FC/corp leader quit I sort of just quit too. So I’m not sure I’d come back regardless, unless he miraculously comes back. But it’s been like 8 years now. Also, EVE consumes your whole life and it’s kind of nice to have time to play other games.

            I was doing primarily small gang warfare, as well as some Blops dropping. And bombing runs whenever the opportunity presented itself. For income I was stocking the market of our home station, which I really enjoyed doing.

    They fumbled the marketing for frontier so bad. There were always comments asking what the game is even about. They explained it so badly people assumed it’s vaporware. Barely anyone was streaming/viewing it on launch.

    Star Citizen has such a headstart on an actual space MMO.

    Other businesses have 0 chance in catching up.

        Eve is Menus: The Game.

        It’s a very lazy product created by a team without the skill to make something like Star Citizen. If they ever tried, they would be over a decade behind along with everyone else in the industry.

      If they ever actually finish the fucking thing, or provide even half of the features they promised. Honestly fuck SC, why would you wanna support a business model like this, do you want everyone to follow this strategy?

        Doing the best they can with the resources they have instead of charging the most while giving the least?

        Absolutely.

        I look forward to you people never admitting you’re wrong even when you’re playing the game and having a good time.

          SC is the highest crowdfunded game of all time (by a lot), people have donated over 170 million! Even after 14 years of development they still aren’t done.

          I look forward to you people never admitting you’re wrong even when you’re playing the game and having a good time.

          I look forward to people finally admitting they were duped.
