I hope it's true as I have already put your candy arse up for sale on the market.

KAT J'inn · « **Reply #10 on:** April 28, 2005, 11:08:22 am »

It's probably true. Not pimping, but I'm sure there is a trade in smuggling slaves and such bad boy stuff.

Eve has a lot of pluses and minuses.

Minus:

- I don't care for the game play as far as ship flight goes. It's to computer controled for my taste.

- The sheer massive brain exploding scope of the game is a minus unless someone is really helping you a lot.

- WHERE THE HELL IS THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL!!!!

- CRACK ALERT!!! Easy to kiss your real life goodby with this game. I think Fluf is on 16 hours a day. Seriously.

- Maybe too many players . . . doesn't have that small community D2 feel at all.

- Too complex for many?

- WHAT!!! I GOTTA PAY!!!???

Pluses:

- Unfrigging believable graphics.

- Server stability? Can you say over 10,000 on line at once with no burps.

- If you like complex, this is it. SHEESH!!!!

- You really can create your own character. It's not all mining. In fact, I've only mined once. Mainly I just run around with Kroma and get into trouble.

I can only pray that some will make a Star Trek based game with this concept and engine. AND ONE THAT ISN'T ONLY THE FRIGGIN TNG MOVIE GENERATION!!!

OOOOOoo SFB based universe with this level of character development . . . . WET DREAM ALERT!!!

A pretty go sumation by Jinn, although I thing the combat has a bit more depth than initially meets the eye. It is different than the micro-managed controlled SFC version (and actually a bit more realistic, targeting computers and tracking systems). The tactical depth comes from the ability to gang (fleet up) and the outfitting of ships within that gang. All classes of ships have their uses, even the lowly FFs as atrition units and tacklers (think anchors) in getting the kills. A fleet of all BBs won't do well against a mixed class fleet with the supporting ships and systems, if what I am seeing is correct.

It seems like you are giving up control to the computer vs the lowly AI pirate drones we have been fighting so far, but it is just a different kind of control and tactical manuevering that you do in Eve than SFC. This was appearent to me when I flew the level 3 complex mission with Rolling, as your target-set-heading-and activate-weapons tactic was getting me killed fast.

I'd like to see a Fed running a side. Maybe not one of the "Usual Suspects", but a player of distinction who is willing to put some time in the thing.

Beside, I'm trying to find out how they get those photon thingies to hit at range 53. There must be some secret handshake or something.

During a GZ match many moons ago I asked how that worked...
I was told you have to firmly grab your ba....er, a certain part of your anatomy...and they'll hit every time.

Green · « **Reply #18 on:** April 28, 2005, 06:49:47 pm »

Jeff would be good. But I do like that WarSears idea.

(played EVE for a month, graphics do kick-butt along with other true pluses ... but warping around the systems is a bit of a drag [could take 10+ minutes at times] and it really is a crack game that needs to be played for many hours on end to make a difference. Hey, if I win the lotto and retire as a full-time millionaire w/ no work requirements ... I definately would take it back up.)

Julin Eurthyr · « **Reply #30 on:** April 30, 2005, 09:11:21 am »

Let's use a format that is, shall we say, common within the Federation... (Capitalists, the lot of them...

)

Help Wanted

Looking for one Federation Officer with a strategic bent, ability to post tactfully and inspiratonally, with delusions of godhood. Nutter hours not required, though a bonus.

This officer will be assigned a leadership role on the Mirror server. He shall be responsible for performing the following duties:

Creation of the overall strategic plan necessary to prevent Julin's latest attempt to save / conquer the galaxy yet again.
Corral and inspire 1/2 the Dynaverse playerbase, many who shall be flying ships they are unfamiliar with, to victory. Dealing with them (diplomatically or by yelling) when they get out of line.
Sending polite Hate Mail to Julin Eurthyr, the ISC officer in disguise, complaining about the actions of players when Julin's off at work or dealing with the kids.
The ability to yell at Hexx both pre-server and during the server, and be one of the 2 people who's supposed to do so at all times. Remember, it's the leader's job to be liason between Administration and the troops...
The ability to delegate duties to various other officers.
Whatever else the leader feels necessary.

Benefits include:
The ability to gloat when you lead your team to a hard-fought victory
The breaking of Julin's "unbeaten" streak, every server that I've led as RM / SAC for more than 1/2 the server my team's been victorious. Please note, I've lost plenty of servers where I was A/RM...

The distinction of being the only RM to win a draft server (till the next draft but hey, it's useful for a couple of months at least...)
The solemn duty to yell at Hexx...

I'll even let you decide if you want to be the leader of the Friggin Good Guys or the happy dictator in charge of the Mirror side...

There are better suited people for RMs, but it seems the workload always lands on them. That's not really fair... I'm just offering another option so they have a break. I don't really know what's asked of a RM to be honest, outside of relations with the other side. I'm so used to examining the map and news to figure out where things are happening (lack of voice comms at the time) that it wouldn't be that much different, really.

Marikar · « **Reply #36 on:** May 02, 2005, 03:53:53 am »

Good luck buddy, lots of work pre server, but shouldn't be as much work during the server as the oob type ones. Besides appoint a few ARM's and get them to do all the work.

Hey Paladin, I'm sure you'd make a worthy Head of the Evil Feds (get ready for a lot of paperwork <snicker>), but I have to admit, I was thinking that, along with Julin, the other RM should be another non-Fed, just to make it interesting. And who would be dastardly enough, wicked enough, truly evil enough to fit the bill? Well, the answer is obvious, isn't it?

I hearby nominate J'inn to be the leader of Evil Feds. He shall hearafter be known as Emperor Stewart Griffen, evil human ex-lawyer of the Terran Empire and All-Around Badguy.
