EVE Online discussion

Anybody get it the day it was on sale for 5$? I had started a trial like two days before that, and I was liking it. So yeah, I have it. I know some stuff but not everything, my brother plays and showed me the basics. It's a really in-depth game, you may only get a month of game time for buying it, but it's a month of playing a game you don't beat in the first day.

I've heard this game is like playing a spreadsheet.

How so? Boring, large, and complicated?

I've found that the fun of EVE is the dastardly realpolitik and intrigue of 0.0 and how there are many people willing to do all the spreadsheet stuff for you and simplify it to "go kill this here using this." It's true that the combat is dull from an individual standpoint, but the skill and finesse exists in major fleet engagements and what you've fitted your ship with. Not so much tactical as it is strategic.

Considering you're probably all smalltime folk who bought this off steam, feel free to ask me anything about this game. Ironically, I haven't played it in months, but I still keep track of developments as best I can.

What I'm talking about when I say large fleet engagements:



The vent chatter and deployment of ships are realistic. Also very realistic is the evil Russian horde/empire.
