You won't be able to survive on autopilot in SC. Those people in EVE mining and rating with spreadsheets up on top doing various factory and market stuff while doing their day jobs will find it impossible in SC. Every single action station will have its own unique game mechanic that you will...

This is apples and oranges. One game allows for multi-crew and has gameplay mechanics, and costs, built into that playstyle and the other lets you pilot a fucking Titan by yourself. You would have to go down to a starting ship to be comparable and lets not forget the scale differences. You...

Nobody and I mean nobody I know has ever done this in EVE. I'm not saying it isn't brilliant because it is but this is something that was introduced when? 2011? I quit in 2011. Maybe that's what new folks joining the game do now I don't know. I only know about EVE since 2011 from my friends...

Maybe EVE is different now then when I last logged in which was a few years back but as a noob starting out you basically have no fucking idea what you should be doing to make enough money quickly to buy a character. I admit I was never successful at farming ISK so I'm not the authority on it...

If you are talking about EvE that's partly true and I said so. You can do a single very specific role "relatively" quickly but to get all of the supporting skills that basically boost every other combat, and some none combat, roles takes a significant amount of time invested. Ok put it this...

I played EVE off and on for 6-7 years. In what way did I say anything that's incorrect? EDIT: So I went and checked to see what the current value of my toon is without gear just skills. It's roughly $600 in PLEX. This is on a character that has what I would consider the core skills to...

Thank fuck there is no xp in this game. Those poor fuckers joining EVE now are fucked. The longer the game goes the farther apart people will get in skill. I suppose you can catch up eventually if you stick to something extremely niche but why? Why limit yourself? That's really poor game...

This is the correct answer. It's something that has been discussed numerous times internally both in the Subscriber section and the Concierge section of the forums. The vast majority is OK with it so long as it isn't pay to win. I mean there is no way to avoid that even with the current...

Just one thing. As I said before Chris has a budget currently that spends according to what they "expect" to take in trough pledges not what the funding currently stands at. That means in their budget they have already spent past at least 65 million. Remember he said he is keeping about 20...

I'm not saying they will or won't sell millions but this would have to tickle the fancy of a lot of people. They are trying to do that with so many gameplay elements all in one game which could still sink them. But not being on the console hurts them and hurts them bad. but if this was a game...

I can't fundamentally disagree with that view. I have no clue what the laws are around this. I suspect there aren't any as KS is a new thing and like anything new will need to be regulated. Even if Chris ran his company 100% efficiently we know for a fact many other companies fold like a kite...

I tried it a few patches ago and enjoyed Vanduul Swarm. I didn't get very far since I don't have a proper flight setup but even with a mouse it was very easy to get into and I enjoyed for the few hours I was mucking around with it. The game has had several patches since and a major one just...

Ok so I spent some time reading about what you are referring to and I think I get your gripe. The first part I 100% agree with you. Chris should have stuck to his guns and just made the game people expected instead of constantly pushing major features for release. I mean something as big as...

In case anyone is confused about what Carl wrote that's from the Star Marine update I linked earlier. Palum you on the sauce? Because you aren't making a lot of sense. Try again when less drunk maybe?

The problem here is people don't listen. They stop listening at 3-5 weeks. If they pass that by another 3 weeks you will see the same bullshit pitchfork arguments as before. Just need to keep reminding people that it's not like making a spaceship where they have a very good idea of how long...

Unfortunately/fortunately you would be wrong. Ben said during the last RtV that Gamescom has nothing to do with FPS. It's not even on a bullet-point to be discussed and they already have the 8 page script for the entire event done. Gamescom is Multi-Crew and other stuff which is about as...

Ship status:https://forums.robertsspaceindustrie...31/ship-status Star Marine Update:https://robertsspaceindustries.com/c...-Status-Update EDIT: So after reading the Star Marine update I'm not convinced we will see it hit even the PTU in the next 4 weeks. They are still writing the...

Sometimes we see what we want to see. But sometimes people say utterly stupid shit completely divorced from reality. When nobody even attempts to steer that shit back towards the shores of even relative reason and just lets them spew more bullshit page after page it can grind the whole...

Nobody made you pick up that gauntlet. Remember that.

I think at this point the best answer to a lot of the bullshit arguments is content. Either Star Marine will impress or it won't. Why the fuck do you think they are holding it back. All this bullshit has basically become self fulfilling and Travis Day said as much during his FPS interview...

And here in lies the problem. There is one faction of the playerbase begging for stuff like skins, equipment including armor and guns to be sold for FPS as soon as possible. Then there is another faction of the playerbase screaming Pay To Win! Nevermind that they have a built in system to...

So couple of things. Rumblings are less controls and more missile balancing. One specific missile is overused because it's not very well balanced and it's basically the best with very little downside so it gets spammed. Combined that with getting a full set of missiles on respawn with...

The live and test server is just a playground for testing final builds and clearly not all of them. A lot of the ships they are building appear to be fairly far along in the process. A lot further than many people believed. I think one reason is that a lot of those assets are needed for SQ42...

It's already being called the Girlfriend ship. I can totally see why too. There isn't a single hard edge on it. Plus it's a two seater. Not my cup of tea but it's interesting. Good to have variety. If anything nobody can say that the ships don't have a personality of their own.

It's funny you mention that. That's exactly what happens. They are already experimenting internally with versions of the various textures/models based on the economy of a landing zone/planet. It will change quite drastically based on the economy. Lots of riffraff will appear in the open...

Star Marine was held up not because it doesn't work but rather because they themselves found it boring after playing it endlessly for weeks. The logic behind it is that it wasn't any better than games like BF Hardline and CoD. The pace was a bit different but that's it. What they were missing...

Thanks I appreciate that.

It's fine. I'm sorry if I sound defensive. Lots of stress at work. I really should stay the hell away from all forums for the next few months. Work is turning into a fucking shitshow for a while.... meh.

How the hell am I pumping it? I correct people on the realities of the game and offer my opinion on where I see things going. That's about it. Are we really starting this shit again?

Maybe you can disassociate yourself from every MMOG you play. I doubt that's true for most people and certainly not true for me. If I wasn't invested heavily into a game why would I use that reference? Common sense to me.

To be fair if we didn't have a hangar and AC module there is no way they could have built up the amount of funding they did or get so many backers on board. I can see us hitting 1M backers by year's end before SQ42 even hits. If they can make FPS different and engaging there might just be a...

All we know is that the only thing they plan to put behind a paywall is customization crap that has no impact on the gameplay. Things like ship paint, decals, posters and other decorative crap for your base and ships etc. I think that's how GW2 does it and if so that's the right way to do it...

They have repeatedly said that you won't be able to avoid conflict completely. It doesn't matter if you set your PvP flag to 1/100. You can still be engaged in PvP but far more likely in PvE. The richer the route the more likely it is to be raided. It is also more likely to be patrolled but...

Actually you are thinking of this ship: Anvil Aerospace Crucible - A so-called "flying toolbox," the Crucible is the ship you want on your side when you suffer an asteroid collision or survive a pirate attack! Structurally, the Crucible consists of a cockpit, drive unit and workshop. The...

"Required." That's subjective. What do you want out of a game like this from the start?

lol I think someone actually asked this question and the official response is something along the lines of... no. At least not running a cyber brothel. You can probably try and walk a fine line by running a bar and make it like Hooters. I don't see why not. I doubt that player owned...

Probably. You can just buy the gear to repair your own shit. They are big on wanting to allow you to repair stuff. You will need spare parts if things are broken and you will need the right tools to repair things. General wear and tear... I don't know. I doubt they would make people fucking...

It won't be cheap to maintain ships. The ships, including personal gear like armor and small arms, degrades with use even if you never get shot. It won't be just a visual thing unless they changed their mind about that. That's the minor upkeep part of maintenance and it will occur over a long...

They released the Hull series super late into the night. I don't think it was up for more than an hour or two before the 25th rolled around. Give it time. People have a whole week to decide to get them or not.

No you don't. =p All skins will end up in the final game one way or another. It's only exclusive until the game launches.
