Has anyone seen this movie by the Corp Evolution?
It's simply amazing, there's no other way to describe it.
Here's the Evolution (http://killboard.net/mirror/evolution-trailer.wmv) (No longer a torrent)
About 26 mb, but well worth it.
:eek2:
Real quick to clarify, this isn't the eve-online gfx engine, rather, a superb cgi representation. I wish these were the graphics though.
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again. EVE is one of the best looking games in existance. The art style is simply lovely.
That said, does anyone know the proper name for the wailing, Eastern sounding music that plays in the video? I've loved that stuff for years, except I don;t know what its called, and I don't know any artists, if they even exist, so I just get the odd snippet here and there by chance.

I would like to know as well....

Awesome :yes:
James Horner is credited for music, so I guess it's from some soundtrack.
-
I don´t understand how they managed to place such eye candy in such a small package. The EVE client prog is 450mb in size.
You can get it here:

I'm curious how many people here actually play EVE. I know Darkage and elorran do.
I'm out in 0.0 right now hunting NPCs in a Punisher. Yay for dual Enforcer chains.
-
in a punisher? you gotta be ****ting me ... i hardly managed in a mega heh never could put out enough damage
oh and i quit because of the superbly ****ty optimization on the engine ... as soon as you see a battle ... oh lookie 1 fps if that
EDIT: i like the movie but i still wish i could pilot my own ship not some of this rpg **** ... wish some skill actually came into it ... yaknow collisions possible etc :) id maneuver my crow so close to yer large ships yed never hit meh hehehehe

Well, it's been around a decade since I did this....
http://www.aqsx85.dsl.pipex.com/GodThisIsOld.mp3
I'll have to look into doing something a little less 'looped' now that I can ;)
-
I've been playinf for about 3 months now. Before then I played for about a year until june '04, to go to swg. SWG got old quick :no:
-
I started a trial character last night.
-
If you need any help, conact me, JerMagni, or post here/pm me (or anyone else who plays, i'm sure they will help too.)

Me and another Punisher took down a pair of Dominixes ealier today. Microwarpdrives 4tw. Could have got a good chain going, but the bastard cruisers ran off. Guess they got freaked out by the sight of two battleships getting picked apart by frigates that cost less than one of their turrets.
Also, I ran into Hunt Smacker in 0.0 today.
While we're on the topic, this is what I look like.

I just completed the first of the agent tutorial missions... The buy Garbage on the market and go get it one ticked me off as for some reason i couldn't get it done the right way. Put in an order, went to the system i bought it from, then the station, but couldn't pick it up. So i cancelled the order and just bought some...
Nice graphics btw...
I'm Antion amd i'm a Gallente.
-
Here's mine. It's kinda big so I just post the link:
JerMagni (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Jeryko/1002489375.jpg)
-
bah. I'll try the trial tonight - got the entire weekend to spend anyway, and Navyfield is getting boring...
-
I played in the beta, and aside from the graphics, which really are beautiful, the game was extremely boring for me. It seems like they put too much emphasis on having a realistic, player run economy at the expense of fun and ease, plus the insane distances between anything really wear you down.
-
how do you even get a trial account. the only option on eve-online.com is the $20 subscription
-
yeah, I'm wondering the same thing..
-
google eve trial account
gamespot.com gives out 14 day trial codes
-
Hunters been knocking around in Eve for ages, he even has a SubForum dedicated to it at SG.
I'm about to install the trial, it looks quite good, but I'll wait and see how much 'sitting around arse scratching' is involved that can't be dealt with whilst I'm at work ;)
-
From my experience: a lot. At least for low levels, and those who choose to play solo.
-
Nice character. I hope i don't run into him in a dark corner of the galaxy.... :)
-
It starts off very slow. The first week is the worst, but once you get going it gets incredibly fun. I'm two and a half months old. I'm hooked.
-
i like it. iv managed to figure out the basics of trading and the waypoint system and im steadily making money.
my character stats are a little funky like iv got
8 intleligence
11 charisma
12 perception
6 willpower
4 memory
which add together for some prety mismatch skills
-
:nervous: That download link seems to want to turn into a torrent. Pity I don't have BT installed...
-
playing this now - excellenty done and its simply sweet! The best is when travelling in warp - nothing compares to it :D
-
For new people wanting to play EVE, charisma is the most worthless attribute so dont invest in it. If you want to be a combat person try to make a char with lots of perception and willpoweer, if you want to be a research guru, builder, miner, etc, go for intelligence and memory.
Warping will soon become tedious and boring. Been playing since July 2003... just wait till you try pvp. Its a drug addiction that can never be satisfied! :nod:
Ingame name is Aturayd, if anyone here is in Stain Empire you might have seen me or my guns.
-
Charisma is for Social skills, which is necessary for CEOs and mission runners (Connections=best skill ever for missions)
-
Sure but once you get the 5 social skills up, it basically becomes useless. New weapons and ships are always being introduced and there are so many more skills in those categories. Persoanlly, i would make a character with as high perception and willpower as possible and then just train up the learning and advanced learning in everything.
-
Theres still the CEO thing. Even more if you want to be part of an alliance.
-
well you need empire control 5 to form an alliance, but CEO skills arent required that much. To run a corp of about 50 members you need corp management 5 and ethnic relations 2 or 3... not very high skills to train and not worth wasting an attribute over.
-
Talking of which, SectorGame Corp has opened in Renyn IX at the Customs facility. We've only just started out, so it's Hunt Smacker and some hopeless N00b called Terakas (me), but from little Acorns.....
-
Give it a couple months Flip and stay away from mining if you have any dignity :p
-
Dont hit the rocks until you can at least use Tech II miners, or fly a barge.
And for the love of whatever god(s) you believe in, dont ice mine. 7 minute cycles on the lasers, and they only get you one 1000m3 block of ice.
I hate POSes.
-
110k Angel cruisers are easy to do in a Rifter.
Some links from some NPC battles i did in my Raven and Rifter frigate.
Rifter VS Cruisers (http://www.friendship7.co.uk/gallery/files/5/8/rifterVcruiser1_original.jpg)
Rifter VS Cruisers 1 (http://www.friendship7.co.uk/gallery/files/5/8/rifterVcruiser_original.jpg)
Raven VS 2 Warlords (http://www.friendship7.co.uk/gallery/files/5/8/2v1_original.jpg)
We had a POS but when we enterd the Xetic allaince we took it down.
We wil proberly setup it up again later.
My ingame name is Asmarian.
-
Well, mining, like all things has it's uses ;)
I'll do what comes my way, and take it from there :D
-
Anybody got the Gamespot trial working? When i entered the code and the mail in the EVE website to set the account, i got a weird message about some "planck bubble stabilizer" error. And my account could not be finalized. I don´t know wether it is the code Gamespot gave me that has no validity, or wether the EVE site is down...
Anybody got it working ok?
-
Setekh: Here's another link Evolution (http://killboard.net/mirror/evolution-trailer.wmv)
Swamp: PM me your e-mail address. I'll send you a code through the Eve-Online Buddy Program and see if that works.
BTW, if anyone else wants a code PM me with your addy too.
And Flip, I just applied to Sectorgame Corp. :nod:
-
Excellent, we're still fledgling at the moment, I'm in an Executioner, but working my way through Agent missions slowly ;)
-
I am starting to run out of ISK, already lost 5 battleships in Xetic space to defend the regional stations. Good thing is i also killed a few BS and cruiser and a few frigates in the proces.
-
Dont feel bad i lost 2 megathrons a couple weeks ago each fitted with 7 425mm IIs as well as tech 2 everything else fitted. Each bs costed approx 200mil when the insurance covered about 100 of it. Combat does get expensive.
-
i had didn't have to much T2 parts on my ships but i think the total loss is around 400/450 million:)
-
Is EVE like a glorified version of Freelancer or something?
I got bored of freelancer real fast. This looks like it might be the same deal.
-
Sort of, but not really. There is a lot more to EVE. The combat is tactical, like Nexus. Market rates change based on what the players do. People can drive prices up, or down.
-
Hmm, I doubt it would be good for me either way.
Either I would get hooked and spend the little free time I have playing it, or I would just get bored of it and not play it at all.
Though I must admit it does sound somewhat interesting.
-
It's like Freelancer meets Iwar in an MMORPG... with a lot more added for good luck.
-
Meh...I'm too poor to afford monthly subscriptions...or a subscription in general. The trial would be my only option, and on a crappy computer with 56K, i'd still be screwed.
-
Oh yeah, and one more thing that makes EVE different from freelancer... its huge. Like something around 5000 solar systems where freelancer was what 42? Also, the size of each solar system is actual... it would take you years if you tried to impulse from one end to the other... which doesnt exist because the systems were made in grids, which theoretically can keep going on forever.
-
Thats 5000 *empire* Systems. There are still the 0.0 sec systems.
-
and imo the 0.0 systems are the most interesting and exciting places to hang around, no rules no restrictions.:)
-
Agreed. I love blockade running, so exhilerating.
-
Take a apoc fitted for sniping and go gate camp, and take down a Tempest in 50 seconds:D
-
I've actually started to get good at blockade running. Trying to get out of MHC and into Harroule is fun. Had one guy chase me all the way from 31-MLU to the Harroule gate in MHC. That was fun. Thank god the Crucifier has 3 low slots.
-
i got ships i can't even fly yet....
i feel like a noob, with my simple frigate i'm flying :)
-
im still waay out in the sing liason region. my attributes are so mismatched its rediculous.
-
*Plug* Recruits wanted for Sectorgame corp! Apply today at Renyn IX - Federation Customs Assembly Plant! ;)
-
Here is a suggestion... get about 5 to 6 loyal people together, train up to use assault ships (Frigate 5, Mechanic 5 are the main ones check ingame for the secondarys) make sure you have a mix raced squad, get some tech 2 small guns, and go take on some battleships. The assault frigs range from 12.5-23mil each, so get some money first :)
-

:nod: :yes:
We need more people!
-
Yeah, been on a few Assault frig hunts in the past. Lotta' fun.
-
Instalocking Stilettos are scary.
-
anything that installocks is scary:)
You can destroy interceptors in a raven, i did it using 2x heavy nosferato's to drain there cap, and no cap means now MWD or warp scrambling. then if they are stupid enough to stay you start shooting with cruise missiles.
2 interceptors is easy to deal with but with 4 and a Battleship with Tech2 guns it gets ugly prety fast:)
-
If they're smart they have a guy around with damps or target jammers, but thats what they made FOFs for.
-
true, i got FOFs at lvl4 so i can do prety good damage. But if they start to drone you the missiles wil most likely target the drones
-
I once took on a Scorpion, Harpy, Crow and Ishtar (loaded with Beserkers) in my Dominix. I was able to take down the Scorpion, but failed to realise the power of the Ishtar's drones, and thus lost the fight. Had I realised that sooner, and gone for the Ishtar FIRST, I would have whiped the floor with all of them. NEXT TIME IF YOUR OUT THERE FLEET BOYS! ;)
-
I prefer to stay independent for the moment. Will help out noobs they if they ask, and if i have the cash to spare. I plan to start building ships of my own to sell in another 3 weeks or so.
-
If you want to make alot of money and you are somewhat of an experienced player, you have decent skills and have Caldari Battleship lvl 2, i suggest you do agent missions. Get negotiation, connections to lvl 4, and start with a lvl 2 or somthing in internal security or just security in any caldari corporation. Work you agents up to a lvl 4.
While running two chars, one in a megathron with tech 2 ownage, the other in a raven to tank the damage, i was making about 80-100mil a day, and approx 40mil on the Extravagganza missions. It can be a little rixky if you dont know what you are doing, but the potetial is out of this world.
On a side note, this is why the market has turned to **** and why battleships sell for over 120mil each. They used to be around 103-110mil.
-
Just got my ship blown up by a ctd. :mad:
Jumped to convryn and ctd'd, logged back in in a pod. Apparently two PC rats werre camping the other side. I've put a petition in, hopefully I'll get reimbursed.
:sigh:
-
Dont feel bad... i almost lost my megathron because of server latency. I was using instajump bookmarks, and some ceptors decided to chase me. I had 7 warpcores, but they also had 3 or 4 bs chasing behind. I tried to jump and it wouldnt jump me.. the ceptors locked and tried to warp scramble. Nothing to do but log in this case as the right click menu wasnt opening anywhere after that. I was lucky to log back in without the extra 106 mil.
-
Because it's considered a patch week you might get lucky and get reimbursed, otherwise, fear not, you've got people watching over you now. ;)
-
Blew me ferox. Eh, no problem, now I have incentive to finish mining my raven out.

-
Meh, Ive seen them around
-
I am getting prety damn tired of this war in Xetic space, it's been on for more then a month. My personel losses are 3 Scorpion Battleships, 2 Raven battleships, 1 Thorax cruiser, 1 Moa Cruiser, 4 Rifter frigates, 2 Kestrels.
One good thing is i have more kills then losses but not by much.
I guess my total loss is around 900mill now including equipment and ammo etc.
And my estimate on total corp losses are around 2 or 3 billion.
Most of us arent real PvPers so some loose allot like me. Although i got better in fleet combat and 1 v 1 combat.
