Also, you can do the same thing in elysium. The confusion it causes is more entertaining than just posting.

I don't really remember how a lot of this stuff works, is there any way to get a huge lumbering ship out to goon-space? I logged off last years ago in a Rattlesnake in a wormhole and when I got back I was in a high-sec station, but I'd like to bring this snake with me. There isn't any high-sec bordering goon space to hop in safely, and I don't remember a way for battleships to teleport. I don't want to slowly amble through low-sec for an hour in a ship that juicy.

Teleport that Rattlesnake onto the Jita market, then just buy a new one in Delve.

This northen strategy of non super confrontation seems like the best way to end the invasion tbh

No super fights, no need for our supers to be up here, I imagine we pop one or two more keeps and then go home.

RIP guess it's time to be a Star Citizen™ https://www.pcgamer.com/eve-online-studio-ccp-games-has-been-acquired-by-pearl-abyss/

quote:

Today, Black Desert Online developer Pearl Abyss announced that it will acquire CCP Games, the creators of popular spaceship MMORPG EVE Online. The deal outlines that CCP Games will continue to operate independently as a developer with studios in Reykjavik, London and Shanghai, while integrating the company’s extensive development and publishing expertise into Pearl Abyss’ operations for all current and future projects.

EVE Online is a space-based, persistent world MMO game, developed by CCP’s Reykjavik studio. The game first launched in 2003 and has since gained recognition for its scale and complexity with regards to player interactions in EVE’s single, shared game world. EVE Online is one of the most critically-acclaimed MMORPG intellectual properties (IPs) in North America and Europe, and one of the most extensive works of science fiction in the world.

Pearl Abyss CEO Robin Jung stated, “We are thrilled to have CCP Games join our team as Black Desert Online continues to branch out globally. CCP is a seasoned publisher with over 15 years of digital distribution experience and know-how. They have done an incredible job of engaging and maintaining their playerbase, which we aim to learn from and hope to integrate natively into Pearl Abyss’ general practices across all our games. I am confident CCP’s reputable IP and expertise in global publishing will help reaffirm our company’s dedication to developing and servicing the world’s best MMORPGs.”

“I have been seriously impressed with what Pearl Abyss has achieved ever since I first visited their website for Black Desert Online and subsequently became an avid player of the game,” said CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson. “Pearl Abyss is a fast-growing company with lots to offer in terms of technology, capability and vision. I believe our two companies have a lot to learn from each other. We are very excited to join forces with them and achieve great new heights for our companies, our games and – above all – our players.

Birgir Már Ragnarsson of Novator Partners and Chairman of CCP commented, “As lead investor in CCP for over 13 years alongside General Catalyst and NEA, we’ve seen CCP go from being a few dozen people strong to employing hundreds all over the world, with an ever-increasing customer base and multiple titles. CEO Hilmar V. Pétursson and his dedicated team have built a company that Novator and its partners are proud to hand over to Pearl Abyss and we wish them the best of luck in their future ventures.”

Pearl Abyss first launched its open-world MMORPG, Black Desert Online, in Korea in 2014. The game has received critical acclaim for its advanced graphics, seamless world, large-scale castle sieges and action-based combat system. Since Pearl Abyss’ initial public offering in 2017, the company has worked to secure competitive global IPs, such as EVE Online, through strategic investments and M&A activity.

Pearl Abyss saw record-high sales in the first half of 2018, following the launch of Black Desert Mobile in Korea. The company is looking forward to another strong year in 2019 with EVE Online and the upcoming global launch of Black Desert Mobile.

Deutsche Bank is acting as financial advisor to Pearl Abyss, and Kim & Chang is providing legal counsel. The Raine Group is acting as financial advisor to CCP Games, and White & Case LLP and LOGOS are providing legal counsel.

...But I could hardly wait six months with a red hot jape like that under me belt.

I quit around the time jump fatigue came out, not that I ever had a capital pilot other than a suitcase carrier. What with that and and dockable super capitals, isn't the next step in power projection to build a staging area with a second super fleet in the north with all this mining money? Seems even dumber than it used to be...

We're doing something similar right now. Our armor supers are in the north, fighting the war. Shield supers are back in Delve, protecting the home front.

In 2017 Icelands GDP was 25 billion dollars, and CCP's revenue was 86 million. So EVE online is 0.34% of Iceland's entire economy.

More like spend $200 for a chance to play an RNG game for some kind of upgrade, which degrades if you lose the RNG game.

Swipe your credit card for more attempts at the upgrade game. A slightly pleasing sound will play when you win which is absolutely nothing akin to reinforcing slot machine gambling behavior in addicts.

Also since this game is a perma lose your poo poo when you die game then :v:

Thats because EVE has always been "Pay-to-lose". No one cares if you can buy a fancy ship for real money, when they real power in EVE comes from having more people in your gang.

I hope the game doesn't turn to poo poo too quickly. I mean obviously the company was purchased so that they can squeeze every last dime from the EVE "whales" before killing the game, but hopefully they are smart enough to do that gradually. I'm certainly not going to be trying to make more isk for nebulous "future activities" any more. I've got 50b+ sitting in the bank, and I intend to blow it all before EVE turns into pure poo poo.

Eve's been on a "Please Buy Me :nyoron:" heading for the last four years. You'd have to be pretty stupid to not see it -- the relentless focus on new revenue streams, increasing player count, and controlling the most controllable cost (labor.) Thing is, that sort of heading is unsustainable. You either get bought or you loving die. Fortunately for the game, they got bought.

That being said, who bought them is pretty distressing. They don't have a great reputation. Still, there's a chance that they can turn things around. I'll take a low chance of goodness over a guaranteed outcome of failure.

I've honestly never looked at it this way but you're completely correct in my opinion. You can only trim so much before you begin cutting into the bone (core staff) and muscle (feature/content development). I think EVE has had some pretty gross and unacknowledged missteps in management in the past (Aurum in general), which has been beating the game with the current people in charge. A new board with new ideas might not be a bad thing.
