Controlled by Band of Brothers. The game is so skewed by vets it's pointless.

Yay, more awesomeness for the computer to train while you're offline.

They should just do a star wars version, would be interesting. There was a game called Star wars Supremecy a while ago like EvE that was so complex, i bet my mates £20 i could complete it in a week....took me that long for the manual.

I just want a fecking twitch-based space MMO that isn't gayed up by stupid decisions.

Doubly so if it's Star Wars, new-BSG or whatnot.

Like freelancer, that was kinda good. I actually own that, but have no idea where it is, i must own hundreds of games, but can only find about 50.

Proper freespace style joystick action 4 lyf, homie.

Well, its more skewed by devs playing and helping specific groups with free stuff really I would say.

Regardless, the whole game leads upto alliance battles, hinges on this and maybe, after 4-5 years of constant play, they might let you join in.

Most corps in alliances will lets chars a couple of months or maybe less join.

EVE unlike many other MMOs let's you pvp from an early age, obviously in smaller ships but you're not that much worse than they would be.

I maxed out as an interdictor pilot, but it's all the mindless waiting aroudn, you can't just go out looking for a fight really and i don't like the amount of solo flying, really breaks the reason i play MMO's.

__________________

i do agree that going around solo looking for good fights is pretty hard, but there are high sec merc corps that war-dec other high sec corps which can be good fun.

EVE is the most depressing MMO ever made.

Well its about the same as SWG got, just with the tools to make it a decent sandbox if you wanted to make the effort. Problem is its not really worth the effort.

Oh and the day Red Alliance looses those systems is when the EVE server implodes and a giant blackhole is created. I think theyve held their systems for 4-5 years which is alot longer than even the biggest alliances have done.

Server has been down since 0300 and not coming up until the earliest of 0200 tomorrow (23 hours :P) for the expansion.

Real factional pvp warfare becomes a reality.
