I tried Black Desert and wasn't thrilled, but it does have one innovative feature EVE lacks: You could leave your room. If they can ever get Walking In Stations working that would open up a vast vista of cosmetic microtransactions that wouldn't hurt the spaceship game at all. It would also be launching a huge new feature to try to rope in new players. And the RP crowd loves nothing more than sitting in taverns or running shops. And I gotta think at least some of the people who take their space job too seriously would love to be able to have their staff meetings in a space office where everyone sits around the space conference table. It could probably be a money maker even if there was no first person combat feature and it was just a social thing. Once you have avatars wandering around they can have housing, a lot of MMO fans loving love housing. And once they have space homes they want to decorate them and not just have anonymous identical space hotel rooms like CCP gave us. People will pay tens of dollars for fake furniture and spend hours lovingly arranging it. For example, here's the furniture you can buy in BDO. http://www.bdo-furniture.com/ Some of that you can get in game, but all the nice stuff requires spending actual money. (Oh, and in BDO there is minor benefit to having one of the best decorated houses in town. Best decorated being decided automatically by having the most 'points' of furniture, with cash shop furniture worth more points than the free furniture. So anyone who wants the best decorated prize turns their home into an ugly cash shop warehouse.) From there it is no big whoop to add in housing based minigames that let you use your house as a grow op for piddly amounts of tabbaco, spirits, or long-limbed roes. Things that would have a terrible isk/effort ratio, but would be catnip to the sort of people who love MMOs but hate PVP. There are a lot of people who love MMOs and hate PVP. They don't have to gently caress up the parts of the game that work well in order to mine cash from the IP. They will, but they don't have to.

Oh for gently caress sake, I just went 16 jumps to some hellhole lowsec station to unwrap some asset safety wrap. The amazing prize awaiting me at the end of my journey? A single unit of trit. There's no way to peek inside the wrap remotely, right?

According to DOTLAN the asset saving thing has dumped my archon 11 jumps and like 100,000 helium from 1DQ. Should be fun. Wait, no, the opposite of fun. There's jump fatigue now too, right? Maybe I should just ditch the carrier and go back to frigates. Frigates are the best.

Klyith posted:Remember that capitals can use gates now too, so assuming you're coming from up North you could follow the Eye of Terror route through fountain to save some jumps and a ton of fuel. Still tedious and you probably want to move in low-activity times to take gates. Yeah, I'm mostly just musing while I want for auth so I can read the wiki. At the moment I can't even remember how far off a station I should light a cyno to avoid a bounce. Once I'm in I'll look at the finances of selling and rebuying in Delve, that might save a lot of hassle. Mostly all I used my carrier for was capswarm missions repairing poo poo, and it looks like carriers don't even do that anymore? aaaaa

I'm moving various assets around from lowsec to Jita, and finally one of the little jerks camping a lowsec gate gets a point on me. Oh no! My brain shorts out for a moment then I remember to turn on my tank. I'm flying an old 2014 drakefleet drake, so it's a lot of tank. I remember to turn on my missiles. Oh, hey, his shields are going down a lot faster than mine. Actually I'm not sure if mine are going down at all since I turned on the tank. Finally I remember my webifier and try to get within 10k of him to turn that on too, but he flies away. Why would a lone gatecamper even bother to point a drake? Yeah, it's slow so as hell, but from what I could see still really tanky. If I hadn't been so out of practice (and bad at eve) I might have gotten one of my few solo pvp kills. I totally forgot I had drones until after he flew off. Oh well, good practice.

causticBeet posted:I mean you didn’t mention what he was flying, but it’s pretty clear that it was easy for him to moonwalk out, so why not? I didn't actually notice. Mostly I was just giddy about not being instantly dead and wanted to tell someone. In my experience either I'm fast enough to escape or I'm dead within 10 seconds, possibly because I don't usually fly around alone in random poo poo space in anything but a fast frigate or a blockade runner. First time I ever had time to fight back, and I won!* *For certain values of winning. Not dying is a win.

I gotta say, all the people living in every single system is freaking me out. I was looking for a quiet spot where I could practice the scanning mechanics and no place in Delve has less than like 7 dudes hanging out. It used to be that most systems were deserted most of the time. It's all so busy now.

Pomp posted:Yeah, if PvP is dead (it extremely is) it's ccps fault. All that's left is blob fights which are boring for everyone who isn't FC or tackle, I'd add logi. If you enjoy playing logi whack-a-mole the size of the fleet doesn't matter much. But since they are always begging more people to fly space priests I guess most people don't enjoy it? IDGI, I think logi is a lot more fun than being an F1 monkey.

OscarDiggs posted:Many years ago I wanted to get into Eve and I happened to have an SA account way back when. I checked out the Eve thread that was around then and it seemed like the only thing the clan (or corporation, whatever the correct term is for Eve) was mostly about griefing other players and that turned me off. There's room to do what you want. I tried ganking an miner in highsec once during one of our burn things events. Successfully pulled off a solo gank on some miner who was probably AFK. Then I felt bad and sent him 5 mil (less than he lost, but enough to get him back to mining if he was broke). Since I didn't enjoy it, I didn't participate in that sort of thing again and no one cared. No one ever even noticed. Meanwhile I spent a few years helping with the programs for goon and allied newbies, generally being nice and helpful and having a good time. I saw a guy once wrote I was the only director he didn't want to kick in the teeth. I also flew a space priest ship handing out heals in strategic fights because that's what I like to do. Also puttering around with a bunch of small time industry stuff. Just having a good time with no drama. The only time being a nice person could put you in conflict with goonfleetwaffesquad is if you burst into the situation and tell everyone they are bad for enjoying mean things. Or you see a goon scaming someone so you take it upon yourself to get in the middle and warn the mark that he's being scammed. But mostly you'll never even know goon rude boys are out there being mean to pubbies unless you go out of your way to join those special interest groups. The stories of that part of the game are well known because they are more interesting than stories about standard MMO activities like how you mined a rock real good or whatever.

Glorious war has come to eve on all sides now Yeah I had my Jita alt flying over to dodixie for market stuff and the path went through like 3 systems that were invaded but I thought whatever it's just rats. I jumped into the first system and in the 11 seconds it took to align they took my bestower to half armor, lol. I didn't die, but I decided to go back to Jita. I guess I'll use an interceptor next time I go shopping and just pay some pubbie to haul the stuff to Jita for me.

Jst0rm posted:im also thinking about reupping. I have no idea where I will spawn into. Do we own tons of poo poo still or will I be deep behind enemy lines? I have some jump clones all about so its not that big of a deal but yeah. Kinda want to get a month to see whats up. You will be in lowsec. All the stuff you had in goon stations that have since become hostile stations will also be in lowsec, but you'll have to pay 15% to get it out of hock. The good news is you don't need to resubscribe to log in and look around. Instead of a 2 week trial people play for free with an Alpha Clone which is limited in many of the same ways the old trial accounts were. So you probably won't be able to fly a bunch of your ships, but you can log in and see if what's going on before you commit to paying a subscription.
