maybe I'll start playing EVE again
if I really ever started
To be honest, that ground battle looked great. I'd play that.
Shit I still remember when EVE was small and indie
I tried it once but I could never really get into it, liked ST:O much better but it's probably because I liked the Star trek series.
Perhaps I'll have to check it out again when there's been a few updates, I didn't regret buying it since it was rather cheap to begin with.
If only they get rid of the stupid skillbooks.

They got rid of learning skills.
ditching skillbooks would make it too easy to make a multitalented character.
yeah what fucking technologically advanced universe wouldn't have skillbook torrents?

It's not like it's hard to find or buy skillbooks. Most of them are dirtcheap and those that aren't are either made for power gamers or you don't need them until you can afford them.
inb4 Battleship skillbook.
i wish they would finish dust already
god[b]DAMN[/b]
Looks great. I hope it's as politically gripping as this. I haven't played EVE, but I've heard some amazing things about it.
I tried getting into EVE, but the learning curve is excruciating. I could barely figure out how to move my ship :(
I thought this was going to be about Spore
Wow, I tried EVE about a year ago.
Couldn't figure a single thing out.

For me, it's not that, it's more that it's the most expensive MMO, like, ever.
I couldn't really justify paying that myself with my current job.

And this video was fucking awesome.
I found Eve pretty easy to learn to be honest, must be the years of learning how to play X3 - now that was a really difficult to understand game yet incredibly fun once you learnt it.
EVE Player since 2004, EVE takes some serious brains to play.
I learned most of EVE on my first day. The tutorial is really thorough.
The worst thing is waiting for skills to finish. There's no direct cause-and-affect, you just queue up skills you want to learn. For the best parts of the games, you can literally take out-of-game years learning the skills. It's dumb.

Not really. It doesn't take a genius to not fly freighters through lowsec or do their logistics right.

There's some pretty big balance issues, too. Everyone springs for the fastest ships (Dramiel, Stabber, Tengu, etc) because they allow you to run from battles you're losing very easily, even with webs on you.
So does this mean console players fight on the ground, receiving orders from the PC players who can do shit like orbital strikes and close air support? Sounds good to me.
I really, really want to get into EvE. Really. I used to play it, but I never got far. The learning curve is just so ridiculous that you have to put an unreasonable amount of time to get into it. I'm sure the game is great fun at higher rates, as it was pretty awesome at lower ones, but it was always so damn difficult.
I hope Dust doesn't have nearly as big of a learning curve, which is unlikely anyway seeing as it's supposed to be a quasi-MMOFPS.
Why can't they release the shooter on PC too? I'd definitely play that, it'd be awesome fighting on the ground for player corps.

They didn't rule that out, but at the moment it's only been announced for consoles.
Well, as I see it, the release cannot be on both consoles and PC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't consoles have slower and less precise aiming? And, therefor, wouldn't the PC players would dominate as they could aim and fire much more quickly, as well as move around and interact with the environment more comfortably?
This is just speculation. Has anyone here analyzed a cross-platform shooter before and compared and contrasted the differences in the multiplayer. I wouldn't want to have DUST dissolve and have corps that only accept PC players because they think console players are tards.
Dust 514 = console only, I believe.

This is exactly what happened to Shadowrun.
Looks cool, but how does this relate to Dust 514? Isn't Dust 514 supposed to be an FPS set in the Eve universe?
I have to restart an EVE trial at least once a year just to see if I can get back into it. I started this years early just because of that trailer :buddy:

Dust 514 and EVE will be connected to each other, beyond just being in the same universe.

I'll be enjoying hiring console players and then nuking them from orbit.

Try that with a dual-web hookbill. Overconfidence will get you eaten.

Referring to the dramiel. Rupture will eat a stabber (Stabber eats frigs/dessies though), and the tengu is toast if you hit it with a single heavy neut or dual medium neuts (standard hurricane setup). If the tengu isn't active tanked, then it's just a really big expensive nighthawk. It won't hold up to many setups half as expensive as it.
