Eve Trailer

I would assume so. Same in STO with DHC's or DBB's, more powerful than turrets or beam arrays but with reduced firing arc.

EvE is b-e-a-utiful. and sucks.


combat in EvE when i played consisted of one of the following steps

combat
1. targetlock, orbit at optimium range, turn on weapons, target blowsup, weapons shuts off, rinse/repeat
2. fight, run, repair, return.
do note that getting blown up in EvE means you lose the ship and everything on it period. golden rule dont fly what you cant replace. getting podded means you'll lose a high rank skill if you dont keep a viable clone at the ready resulting in.... more timegrind

mining. hope you have great music
1. go to a asteriod field.
2. set better warpto markers
3. targetlock a roid
4. pewpew mining lazers
5. watch the radar like hawk and be prepped to flee fast

everything else

live in constant fear of getting gang ganked.

anomaly hunting can be fun but very dangerous.

Ohh, EVE... for me it was unfortunately a game where the THOUGHT of playing it was a lot more fun for me than actually PLAYING it.

If that makes any sense...

was gonna give perpetuum a try since its EvE lite. but could bring myself to spend that much on it

Spent a little bit of time in Eve. My conclusion is that it draws the very worst type of people, and that the time investment to truly enjoy the game (both in learning curve and in actual performing tasks) made it more of a second life, or second job, than I had desire to spend.

Still, will agree that the space mechanics and the graphics are absolutely top notch.

Eve was good but they ruined PvE and the game stagnated to much. It says something when someone stops playing for years comes back and still has the best gear, top end ship and no new content to play and no new skills points to train.

Its good for new players but doesn't have enough new content added to keep long term players.

when i left it was 100k active plays on at any one time. and a good amount are gonna be bots

I enjoyed Eve a lot, I played a lot in a Corp with quite a few friends, i ran our industry, R&D and ran mining operations. It is a massive time-sink and everything that has been said is correct, never fly anything you can't lose. The thing that caused me to leave in the end was this simple fact.
Even in "safe" areas you can be ganked and PvP is a constant thing, even if you have no interest in it. Your corp can be war dec'd by any other corp at any time unless you stay in a NPC corp and that either means you have to PvP or you have a week where you can't undock without getting gang bashed. If this is repeated a lot you can't get anything done.
In the end it wasn't worth my time anymore.

The only way to be good at the game was if you joined it early enough or flew with an escort all the time.
Our Corp used to have initiate escort most of the time and people ganked less...

Let's not forget the annual 'Hulkageddon' sponsored by those asshat Goons.
