Which really makes me sad, I'd love to ground stuff to A) exist and B) actually matter in sov warfare

Having ground and space fights interact for sov warfare would be really cool because faction warfare carries none of the drama of sov warfare and I want to get in on that without having to do space fights

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

The post implying there's no bias is dumb though because reddit is comically leftist

Also when someone on SA says Reddit is leftist, I look back at D&D and ask myself: How is that possible? Are people on Reddit legit communists?

The ground fighting isn't actually in EVE, but it's part of the EVE Universe.

CCP's FPS game DUST is what that was, but that's a PS3 game being shut down in May and is being ported to the PC at some point.

There's also EVE Valkyrie which is CCP's other game which is specifically built for VR headsets that you play a fighter pilot that the carriers launch. Oh and Gunjack is another VR game that's basically just an arcade shooter where you man a turret or something.

All the games are within the same universe and lore, DUST is/was interactive with EVE to some degree and vice versa (you could shoot giant "gently caress you" lasers onto planets from EVE and it'd kill people in a DUST match on the planet).

Also the frigate ships you'll be getting to fly at first are, for reference, about the same size as a 747. Titans, the largest ship type in the game, are about the size of Manhattan.

Caldari has probably the best placed starter systems, and arguably are in the prettiest space (I really like the blue nebulae)

But stats are the same regardless of who you start as.

A redditor being a piece of poo poo what a surprise

So I spawned in Catch space and I'm making my way to Dodixie and got pod killed which is fun but my question is is utterly worth it now to try and migrate to get?

I have never learned how to play this game. I may as well have just made a new character. I got bored doing missions so what's good. Is this game worth getting into or am I competing against people who have poopsocked for 10 years and will never succeed/have fun

Reddit being liberal is a joke. Reddit is a shithole that has produced hate speech to such a level dozens have died as a result of crimes committed by those radicalized by reddit hate speech.

Dylan Storm Roof frequented reddit, and the largest hate communities the internet has really spawned have all been on reddit.
