Quite a feast for the eyes.
-
Those are Ships from Eve-Online. For the most part, those are all in-game shots.
-
Yah eve.
Pretty cool game. Should try it some time.
No run its a trap! Ah! They're coming! *runs*
-
oh eve, you look so pretty but play so slow....
seriously, i just couldn't stand how slow the gameplay. I could WALK AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER and watch tv for a half hour and come back and just be arriving at my destination. there is such a thing as a game being too big.
-
I didnt even know EvE existed. I just read up on it this morning lol. It looks pretty cool but I checked some game footage videos that ppl made and it seems battle is really slow too.
-
Well its kinda like Real Time turn based.
So yeah it is slow, but otherwise when your in massive wars with huge alliances, you wouldn't be able to keep track of everything.
That said, its not for everyone.
-
Depends what you're doing really. If you're going an entire journey in secure sectors then, yes, you can go get a coffee and come back later, if you are travelling through non-protected sectors you might well come back to a pod or in a clone-bay somewhere.
The game does run real ime, theres a lot of quiet stages, mining ops etc, followed by short bursts of excitement, it's more a battle of wits than sheer firepower, using your brain can win battles just as quickly as using the biggest guns you can find :)
-
their backgrounds are better than freespace2 backgrounds. We need nebs like that..
-
Yeah, it's won a few prizes for its graphics, theres some pretty amazing stuff in the game visually speaking. The Music is very nice too, though some of the tunes can grate on your nerves if you're out mining a few hours.
This is my little beauty at the moment....

Ahhh.. The Retribution, nice little ship :D

It's less powerful, but better looking sister ship, the Vengeance.

Am I seeing two Titan designs for some of the races there?
-
Hmmrah, damn she's a beauty.
Wish I put the effort in to go that far. :p
-

I feel like those are old designs that didn't go final. I.e. there being two Leviathans.
-
eves fun and its not turn based nor slow if you play in the right corp :p going 9 against 15 is kinda fun especially when you win all the time
-
I always make sure I'm doing something while I'm playing EVE, having two monitors really has it's benefits when things like this are concerned.
-
is it free?
-
no
-
isent it free to an extent, by which i mean that you can get a free trial accoutn then if you want, go for the whole shehbang and go member
-
I got a months trial with an old PC gamer cd a few years backs, Surely you can download one from the website. but after that, they get you hooked,
You end up paying £$£$£$£$£$ after......
-
you can buy eve time codes for ingame money! so its prety much free for me :D
-
^realy?
-
You have to pay at least once to get the license and be a legal player.
Once that though, you can buy the timecode off others who are too lame to do well in-game, but too rich in life to quit.
Mind though this is all second hand recount of circumstances, as I don't play, but some Hungarian forumites I know do (....and BTW us Huns form a big clan on the servers, so watch out!).

Wrong, i started my account with timecodes only, never had anything else :)
