Ya know what, if I could pay a monthly fee for patches to actually make SFC work 99.99% of the time, like EVE, I'd GLADLY do it. Yep, not one HAND OF BETHKE in over a months time on EVE.
Lag is an oddity, not normality. They are constantly not only patching the game, but ADDING entirely new content. Gonna be a HUGE expansion in November (and its not even a STAND ALONE-EXPANSION)
Yes, you have to pay to play. Figure $15 a month, 30 days a month, wow, thats all of what, .50 CENTS A DAY?? Oh, woe is me, I will have eat dogfood to afford that heavy burden. :rolleyes:
Dizzy, yer wrong, its not just the big guns that win. A dude that signs in for a corp, minimizes his skills to get into a BB asap cause his Corp. gives him one will get eaten ALIVE by a guy in a cruiser who actually has skills and the ability to use the more advanced combat systems, like EW, warp disruptors, micro- warp drives, WEBS... TONS of stuff. Skills work kinda like legendary officers and outstanding crews, too bad OP doesn't have that.
Dint get me wrong, I LOVE SFC and will never stop playing it, I was heartbroken I couldn't play on GW3 due to the lag apparently caused by a Hurricane Charley screwed up phone system here in Fl, and I have signed up for KCW as well.
SFC will take priority over Eve every day of the week, BUT...
Dint knock it if you dint know what your talking about, and... especially dint knock those who play it. I personally know of one group of pilots that I fly with that were put off SFC due to just this type of lame crap.
There is NO MORE Taldren, you can shut the Church down now.
BTW Tracy, SFC, if still compatible to be run in 10 years will STILL be exactly the same as it is now, unless someone comes off the source code. Eve changes every day, and I will gladly fork over my .50 to that bastion of Free ENTERPRISE known as Capitalism.
Oh, and how likely is it that SFC will still have a dynaverse to run on in 10 years? Player base goes down every server. I hate it, I LOVE this game, been waiting for it since I got my first Commodore 64... "WOW, I wish we could run SFB on this thing!" Even had a program in basic that automated the weapons/damage charts/die rolls for ya.
How long has "Evercrack been running"? Long time. And so long as Eve keeps updating and improving and most importantly, MAKING MONEY (What Taldren unfortunately was unable to do) it will keep running.
FPF-AJTK: UBER-Long time SFB/SFC whore, getting tired of people shoving it up his ASS for daring to play another VIDEO GAME besides this one series that he has been playing since the F-CA vs D7 DEMO Interplay put out. Heh, how many of YOU bitched about the status of SFC enough that Bethke actually called you at HOME to shut you the F up about releasing OP when EAW was hardly running?
Cut Eve and the people who play it some F#cking slack already. <Pulls out his wallet and takes out a $20 and hands it to Dizzy for use of his trademark>
STFU?
