Don't mess with Pharma.Could I buy insulin instead?
Inspired by EVEonline
- Thread starter Commander NewFlyZone
- Start date
I would like to see these features implemented solely to see OP's follow-up meltdown about how vulnerable his little empire is to randos messing with his systems' BGSs... to say nothing of dedicated player opposition.
Pharma Sobanii?
I think he would be phisted.
FD wants ED to be EVE this is Evident, but everything you said is literally the worst thing ive seen on the forums, Nothing you said has ANY thing to do with EVE. What you want is to turn ED into basically another copy paste mobile game
Megaships seem to be as big as space stations. I have no idea if they can store ships but if so this could work. a gamer could buy a mega-ship starter pack starting price 1B credits containing maybe 100 NPC ships orbiting a planet as the basis of their empire. They can then invite upto 50 players to join their empire megaship and then start fortifying their empire. After 30 days the empireship can participate in empire wars
I'm pretty sure ED can't work on a mobile platform.
No meltdown. I had meltdowns when NPC anaconda pirates on contract kills repeatedly quit the battlescene only to reappear seconds later fully weaponized. It was a good strategy by frontier developers to weardown gamers and force them to quit playing
I guess you could use your moonbuggy to fire seeds into the ground of a fertile area on the planet whilst you're guarded by either friends or NPC ships
You mean create your own corporation or faction?
Even EVE-Online does not allow you to create your own major superpower.
I think player factions are already a thing? Are they not?
Squadrons are too, but they're basically nothing but a guild for players to get together and socialize.
There's no actual progression or competition with each other. It's just a club for nerds to herd together basically.
yes but EVEonline it's not the same game, I did not play long, but if on EVEonline you can create his empire, for against we do not really pilot our ship, it looks like a "point & click" spacial (our ship literally crosses planets and stations in EVEOnline, no collision management).
the developers of EVE online we privilege the management aspect more than the piloting aspect, to play a good game in both areas, at the same time, requires a much larger work or team, I understand that he has choices to make.

I support group or squadron managed star systems even in the most basic form. Because it adds more end-game goals and gameplay such as defend your star system and/or conquer others. It could be in some remote section of the galaxy and completely optional so that regular players aren't bothered.
Play Planet Entropia. They’re loaded with real world commercials.
Here’s the thing:
Commercials suck. The advertising industry turns everything it touches into pure, raw sewage. Just look at what it’s done to the Internet.
So I can’t support the notion of trashing up the game with more unwanted advertising.
As for the EVE Inspiration... I would want to stop gaining credits at 4,999,999,999 just to NOT have to endure that.
EVE is one of the worst grinds, disguised as a wallet-suck, disguised as a game to cover up one of the worst communities that ever has or ever will exist.
Are you trying to tell me there are worse grinds than engineers?

It’s not called EVE: Ongrind or EVE: Grindon for nothing.
My thinking is that ED:Empires will be a separate add-on requiring both ED and horizon played in a seperate section of EDuniverse thus only folks interested in empire wars will participate
Agreed the basic mechanics of ED:Empires already exist and work well, so its possible additional development effort to create and deploy this add-on will be minimal
It should be in the same shared Milky Way to keep a sense of cohesion and unity. There's so many places where people have never been before. They can designate a cluster of star systems. Players who want to participate will go there.
Player factions are a thing, but you have no more control over that faction than any other NPC faction in the game^... because fundamentally, players do not belong to factions. They belong to squadrons which are a whole other generally unrelated construct.
^ Beyond whatever 'control' FD affords you through the requisite of associating your player group (not your squadron). As a leader of a group who's made numerous CG/other requests to FD, that 'control' is virtually nothing.
Having a PMF in the game and pledging to them with your squadron is no different at all to pledging to any arbitrary NPC faction, noting any number of squadrons can pledge to a faction, and it still confers zero control over that faction.

Please delete this post immediately. If I ever see a non fictional advertisement in ED it's game over.
Seriously, are we not bombarded with enough crap ads every day until nausea?? I know I am.
