Was this the game that had full 6 degrees of movement, i.e. descent-like controls?

No

it actually is 6dof..but it's not what you think. Think freespace without as much control of your ship..but the game itself is a blast to play..and absolutely beautiful

Since Von Halcyon posted about Eve a couple of years ago, I picked up on it and have enjoyed it immensely.
Trinity is now being patched and I look forward to it...even more so once I upgrade the computor.

I tried it when he mentioned it too, been playing ever since. Now if I only I had the money to upgrade to enjoy all the new shiny...

So, who are you guys in game then?

Sam Dravis - PURE. member living in Vale

*couldn't help myself :p

For a second I thought it was an old topic because of a few names involved.

Looks pretty cool Delly.

Lrrp. Part of Coalition of Empires in Syndicate.

Figures, youre both Reds to me

That's what makes it fun though. <3
Who are you with anyway?

I'll give you a hint. We blew up one of your alliances Motherships last week.

Youre right, it is fun

You mean the guy in his nyx down in ad? LOL. A few folks were involved with that as I recall (too lazy to look up the kb).

It was the most satisfying 40 minutes of my eve carreer.

Was that the MoM that was gate camping lo sec and racking up 100's of kills a day? I'd say well done.

I'd agree. Although when he posted about it on the pure boards he didn't really seem bothered by the loss at all.

Which sucks since I can't even afford to fly a BS in pvp atm.

Of course he wasnt bothered by the loss, it was built from ill-gotten parts.

and no, he wasnt camping that gate racking up kills. He was in mid transit and apparently waiting for his next cyno when our scouts happened upon him and took the initiative of killing the cyno badger he was using and dropping the first of many dictor bubbles.

Nice kill either way.

The biggest problem about Eve is the cost. Like WoW, you have to pay for each month. Of course I can understand why, being the servers cost a lot to run, but games like Tibia can afford to be free and feature premium accounts. Another problem is the graphics. Eve just got SM 3.0 with Trinity and won't have SM 4.0 (DX10) until mid next year while FPS's like Crysis have SM 4.0 (DX10) now.

DX10 is a vista only feature currently, and meh, I dont feel like that paticular flamewar at the moment.

As for cost, if you can make enough isk (the games internal curency unit) you can exchange that for game time codes other players buy.

While you do have a monthly cost, it is only around 11+ dollars a month if you buy in 6 month block. The nice thing about Eve is added content and expansions are at no charge.

Getting back into exploration and just finished a radar site with loads of parts, datacores and tuner BPO's. This one site would generate enough isk to buy 2-3 months of gameplay.

For about a year my alt was running a mineral based business. I made about 37 billion isk and was making up to 2 billion a week when I stopped. I might start again here in a few weeks, but im not exactly broke yet. So yeah, if you know how to make money in the game and get good at it, you can get rich with relative ease.

Re-enabled my long-dormant EVE account when Trinity was released. My name in there is... well... you won't have any trouble finding me. ;p

Sadly, the lack of ability to actually FLY my ship is still driving me completely batty.

The solution? I'm going here when it's released: http://www.jumpgateevolution.com/

It's as close to a true 6DOF MMO as we're gonna find for a while.
