This is not EVE

[Williamshatner]

I have seen so many threads asking for this, or wanting that "like it is in EVE"
"like they have in EVE"
"like the system in EVE"
I mean come on! It's NOT EVE. It's not WOW, SWG, or any other MMO. It's Star Trek online. I mean you get to play in the star trek universe, as a captain of your own ship. You get to be in STARFLEET! OR, you can be a Klingon! Make your own race!!
Why would you ever want star trek to be something else than it is? Aren't there any true star trek fans that are happy with a star trek mmo period? If you want something to be like EVE, then go play EVE. Same for wanting something to be like other mmos. Did I love the customization in swg, or the crafting system? YEs. Do I want those systems in STO ? No. It's a completely different and NEW game. I don't know. Maybe I'm jaded from all the other mmo forums I've been in waiting for launch, but this is ridiculous.
*makes the vulcan sign* I love Star Trek. I hope it comes out whatever way cryptic decides to make it and it's awesome. I'm happy enough they are just making the game.
Sorry for my venting, and let the flames begin! woot :D

It's hard to be happy with something that does not exist yet, Ppl are just trying to share their input to sculpt STO into the MMO's of their dreams.

Not that much of what we say will do much to the game. But often the hope that an Dev, may get a spark of creativity from reading our posts is enough to keep ppl posting their ideas. Not that we would ever know if they chose to use our ideas or not.

Now for EvE. EvE has some compelling components to it that make it a good and compelling MMO. Sure it's not perfect. But I have to say I like how they do their economy and contract system.

I hope they don't use the Warp Gate system. I loath to hear the incessant noise of. *Warp gate sound* commencing Autopilot* pop out of Warp *Warp Gate sound*.... etc for 50x. Walk into other room, Oh ****! gettng ganked by Pirates, run back to computer to find myself half dead. can't escape, warp jammed, and watch myself die!

Yep that pretty much sums up my EvE experience ;) lol

Oh and a single server for everybody is a pretty remarkable feat for an MMO.

Dave too bad you're in New York, it would be fun to hang out and have a beer or two, or three or ...floor.



OP: um... well... I think we know this already. But thanks for the refresher course.

EvE is the only game that even comes close by mere tangent to what STO will encompass. So that's why so many talk about it, because it's a good point of reference. STO will not only have the space aspect, but also interior/exterior ship views. Custom avatars and species creations...starbases...planets that are explorable...and many other aspects that EvE simply does not have. But with regard to space battles, exterior ship views, skills, PvP, navigation on a 3D plane, stellar maps and chartography, warping, EvE has many things that "touch" Startrekology.

In fact, if CCP was to suddenly allow you to explore planets, or the insides of Space Stations, or the inside of your Ship, STO would have some serious problems on its hand, because they would have to compete with a well known and growing market.

It's not a matter of If, more like a matter of when, because they are already working on it.

Word of Caution: These videos are not for the weak of heart on patience. They are long and drawn out, so alot of seeking will be involved for those wanting to get to the meat of the presentation. You have been warned. :)

As you can see, they are making a very compelling game with characters, planets and Space Station exploration.

I really don't think STO has anything to worry about. While it is different and alot of ppl would come back to the game when this gets added. I really think they are taking a totally different direction than Cryptic is with STO. Plus Cryptic has a strong license and fan base that EvE could never compete with.

But one thing EvE has got going for it is a strong PvP and galaxy conquest player driven system that works well for it.
