WelbyWars Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Eve Online is the best game I will not play(anymore) I appreciate that BW put ANY space combat in at launch. Hopefully with the foresight and capability to expand. I am not so interested in open space 0.0 pvp yet, though. Building on what they have now, I'd like to see co-op missions, think one player piloting and shooting forward, while another mans the side/rear cannons. Maybe take a cue from the Black Talon FP's and have us dock and sack other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCJEV Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd like if we could go anywhere in our ships, but EvE treats spaceflight as a realistic option. Huge ships, slow travel, etc. Star Wars isn't based on that premise. Star Wars is World War 2 in space. You have gigantic naval battles (Star Destroyers, Corvettes, etc) in space with fighters (X-Wings & TIE fighters) and bombers (Y - wings) overhead causing massive damage. Hell, even half the guns in the Star Wars universe are WW2 models. Han Solo's blaster (DL 44) was based on the Mauser C96. The E-11 blaster used by stormtroopers was a british sub-machine gun. Heck, even Stormtroopers were pulled straight from WW2. ^^ This. Star Wars is not about individuals doing their own thing, it's about armies and navies (space navies, of course) participating in massive battles. Ep. 1 had the Battle of Naboo. Ep. 2 had the Battle of Geonosis. Ep. 3 had the Republic vs the Trade Federation. Ep. 4, the Battle of Yavin . Ep. 5, the Battle of Hoth. Ep. 6, the Battle of Endor. Star Wars is about epic, large-scale battles where squadrons of fighters and bombers make precise, calculated maneuvers, not just a bunch of random dogfighting.

Wazzzaaaa Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 It can be like Freelancer. Few closed instances like now, but movement isnt restricted and fights adjusted accordingly would be very fun imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosma Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 EVE is nothing more than excel with purdy graphics SWG style spaceflight would be full of win. ^^this or as I like to call EVE 'Spreadsheet Online' Ain't nothing wrong it's a awesome game for people who like it but not my style.

Darth_Gao_Gao Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 this game needs a jita as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammarye Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 EVE is a very different game, and grossly distorts the reality of planets and moons so you can fly around them. People underestimate how big space is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisftw Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) i love in eve when you go into hyperspace you fly through stars and planets. eve space flight is a boring click fest. not to mention Microsoft excel in space. at least in this space flight i can hold down the button and fire my blasters and try to take out every single turret on the cap ships. Haven't done it yet. but i'm getting close with these new upgrades i put in. Edited December 29, 2011 by chrisftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feynrod Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Can anyone find the connection between this post and the topic at hand? Oh you want connection. Ok, they'll never do an open space like in EvE and neither they'll make space battles in scope like in EvE because it's not necessary for this game.

Ruser Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Actualy, EVE space-flight for system-system travel and SWG space sim for combat would be a beutiful combination Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign Jump realign are we there yet?

Qoojo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 There's a reason why Eve plays itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhudian Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 EVE is nothing more than excel with purdy graphics SWG style spaceflight would be full of win. SWG-style, or anything modeled after the classic X-Wing series would be amazing. My starfighters were the only reason that I occasionally went back to SWG. Though I think a big part of that was the fact that you always stood a chance to grab a randomized piece of loot that would combine with other junk in order to bring your ship a hair closer to perfection.

Ituhata Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I think they took traveling in space realism too seriously. Another thing, I like to call this the lone jack dempsey with tetras. Others may simply call it Cluster**** http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/853/201106260149481.jpg/ EDIT: Most players knows what happens next....hint, it involves module lockup.

Dosma Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 All this talk of spaceflight makes me mourn the best thing that came post launch of SWG. Jump to Lightspeed was so frikkin good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamas Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 EVE spaceflight was the most boring thing ever. QFT. Click and fly.... Also lets make it so it takes 2 hours to get somewhere, While you spin your ship in warp.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerrich Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I would be willing to wager that more free form Space Combat comes down the line in the form of an expansion. This would make a great expansion feature IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystais Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) No EVE-type space. I am so tired of jump gates between systems. Why not just be able to plot a course for hyper and jump into hyperspace and travel in hyperspace to your target? Hyperspace can be one super large zone with each system having a 3D location in that zone. Each ship has sensors with the ability to detect other ships within certain range of themselves in hyperspace. When you get to the system you actually change to that system's zone which contains the relevant planets, stations, etc.. Think of hyperspace as a huge open room with lots of little doors floating in that 3D area... one door per system. The ships being little specks moving through the open area between systems. This way trips can take awhile for long distances but you can get up and actually do things along the way. Maybe have audio inter-ship proximity alerts for other ships with vectors intercepting yours or just for when a ship gets within a preset range. Ugh, no more jump gates.

Because that describes warp space in that game almost perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
