CCP has introduced a massive engine, graphic, and gameplay update. Sorry I cant say more about it, but I've got finals to work on. Download the trailer, look at some screens, and enjoy a 14-day trial. It's a great thing to do over the winter break. I picked up Eve last year around this time and I've been playing since then.

Post your screens of the updated ships if you've got them. I'm still downloading the updates.

Expect the planets, skies, etc. to be updated later on. Trinity's update focuses on ship, stargate, and station graphics.

I have an old 6800GT, what's the chance that this won't die the instant I try it? Please tell me, because this looks fuckawesome.

Also: With Christmas coming up, should I try it in the trial and then consider asking for a subscription?

Okay no way I could run this, but as I look at it......

How awesome do you think Titans are going to look?

Actually, capital ships haven't changed much. They might have a bit more polies, but they ultimately look the same. The Avatar looks exactly the same, but is simply shiney now.

I will try out the trial this weekend. Too busy with school on weekdays.

If it is quite exceptional, I dare say you will see me on for some time.

Here's two more: The Caldari destroyer, Cormorant, and the Caldari Tier 2 Battleship, Raven:

I'm trying to get on the test server for others, but I'm not getting a ping. Gotta check the login stuff to see if they changed anything.

There has apparently been a problem with using the premium patch. If you're using an OS other than Linux and Vista, upgrade to the premium content through the game before 4am GMT, and update your client, then your boot.ini probably got deleted. Do not restart if you did and visit this thread just in case:

All of Eve is played on one server. There are tons of regions/constelations/solar systems, but you can go to each and every one without changing servers.

Oh, keep an eye on this:
http://zeph.h2vista.net/Eve/Trinity%20Ships
I've been hopping into ships and taking quick screenshots of them. Each one is about 1.5 MB and 1920x1200, so dont try to open them all at once.

now all it needs is realtime controls with joystick,and ships that are made of more than 50 polygons and i might consider it.

edit: i take that last statement back, SOME of the ships actually look pretty cool.
but still the ships look like a massive jumle of googled concepts thrown together with a "as long as it looks cool" mantra.

i know theres supposed to be like three races and stuff, but i just saw like 10 completely different styles in zephs imagedump.

this is whining. yes.

Wait I thought that they had like 6 different servers just to run tranquility, or do you mean server as in "There is only one server where everyone is. Without counting the test servers."

Also, Thanks for the link! Since I can't run the new patch until I open my present, I might as well see what they have in-stock ^_^

Edit: I just noticed, some of the ships (Mostly the navy issues) need to be retextured >.>

Tranquility is one server. All the test servers are just what they are. A server that things are tested on. Everyone plays the game on Tranquility and it is one server consisting of one IP address.

Good. Race isn't everything in ship design. Various ships come from various corporations with different ideals and principles.

OmegaDragon
December 7th, 2007, 04:35 PM
I would like to know where everyone who plays this hangs around. It would be fun to see what they have and what they can do. :)

Personally, I still haven't gotten to lowsec areas to pvp, I only go there if there is something I need to buy that is cheaper than highsec. I'm not ready to go there anyways. I have been told that there are frigates out there that could probably destroy a battleship. Once I have enough skills, then I will probably go in deeper.

I'm a noob so I don't understand how everything works, so take it with a grain of salt when I say, do you think we should form a H2V corporation? Can you only belong to one corporation at a time? Anyway, I say this because I only play games like this nowadays so I can hang out with friends online, and with H2V I've got a built in buddy list.

Hah, there have been two or three times this has been tried with people from GBX and H2V.

edit: For most of you who consider the Minmatar ships ugly, they're something that really grow on you. Minmatar takes really high skills to be effective. Once you get up there, you'll see them as the most beautiful things in the world.

holey shit, I want this game O__o

anyone want to sum up the gameplay of this game? can you walk inside the ships/stations? can ships be crewed by multiple people (and walked around in while moving)? what kind of things can people own (I figure you can have your own ships, but can you own space stations or anything else of note)? also, are the planets explorable (and how does the transition between space and planet work?)

FireDragon04
December 8th, 2007, 06:04 AM
It's basically a space fighting MMORPG.
You have skills you train to use better weapons and shits.
You always pilot your ship from a 3rd Person camera.
You cannot walk around stations, but CCP are working on it for a future update.
You cannot go to the planets, Stations/Outposts are in the orbit of different moons and planets.
In 0.0 your corp/alliance and conquer certain areas of space/stations if your powerful enough.
The PVP is amazing, and the PVE and Missions are better then any other MMO i've played.

Look at some Youtube Videos for more of an 'insight' to the game:
Videos such as 'this' (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6EzuaNfYn0s) or Anything here (http://uk.youtube.com/results?search_query=Eve+online&search=Search)

This is a video of the first Titan
-h5UJpO5Mik

The Amarr Titan, Avatar.

A Titan is a capital ship that has the ability to devastate entire fleets from over a few hundred kilometers away. It's the most powerful ship in the game, however it is not without its weakness's.

I myself prefer the Minimtar Titan, Ragnarok, and the Caldari Titan, Leviathan.

its basically WoW. picka target, hit Attack, and wait for it to die.

it's that lame really, can't even use a damn joystick.

there is no pvp, there is only pvpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp pppppppppp

it also takes about a few MONTHS till youré at the point where you can actually DO anythign AT ALL.

TeeKup
December 8th, 2007, 10:03 AM
The game requires an extreme amount of patience, if you didn't understand tweek's post. It's best to train a bunch of skills for a while. Thing is, the skills keep training even if you log off. Some people set some skills to train while they go off and play a different game.

OmegaDragon
December 8th, 2007, 10:46 AM

Not really. It can get pretty tactical sometimes.


there is no pvp, there is only pvpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp pppppppppp

If you fight the wrong people, then it is like that, and sometimes, you need more than 5 people (or over 200 people if you fight one of the capital ships) to take down an enemy.


it also takes about a few MONTHS till youré at the point where you can actually DO anythign AT ALL.

Patience is the key to this game. You will notice that there are alot of mature people playing, and on average the player age for eve is around the 30's (according to what I've heard.), this is because most kids that like playing WOW or something other that try to play the game are impatient and do not want to train their skills, then they go into losec and get ganked. Then after dying they whine like 3 year olds and never play again.

1) arent most games usually pvp, pvpppp+ (pvzerg) and zergvszerg anyways? >_>...

2) arent most games setup where you gotta farm and grind a shitload to even be able to pvp? Hell in l2 the pvp is only fun at 3rd class (level 76) and on official 3rd class can take like 170 days to get.

No, it's incredibly deep combat. Different fittings, ships, skills, and tactics all play into the combat. Why do you need to use a joystick? It's not a flight sim.

Eve is much more than picking a target and hitting attack. If you do that in Eve, you die, plain and simple.

Scordite was always hard to find for me in hisec. It's been a while since I played, the only system that seemed plentiful started with and A; was in Minmitar space. I wish I could remember. I hung around there all the time, met alot of cool people there.

Well, if you are close, you should go to Muvolailen. The prices for ore are high, buyers want alot of it (orders going up to 18 million of an ore), and there are plenty of asteroid fields to mine in, and there less than 25-30 people constantly. You should be able to find a good asteroid field to mine in without much competition from miners or scammers. The only thing i didn't like is that there are alot of annoying useless cans and it was a pain to find a spot to anchor them. If it weren't for concord, we would have probably blown up some of the old cans.

Thats the original gate that the humans used to populate that galaxy. I Tried to go see the gate, but I never saw anything where I think it was. I think I went to where the wormhole was, because supposedly the wormhole collapsed and destroyed everything in that system, and there was absolutely nothing in that system, other than 2 or 3 planets.

Or was the wormhole and the eve gate the same thing? :x

I'm still training for a MW D: I was using a 1mn After burner and the condor was doing almost 1km/s, if it weren't for the afterburner I would have probably died. I would have finished training for a MW by now, but I had other more important things to train.

For a starter ship (other than your rookie ship).

That should get you through some missions (key word is SOME) you'll definitely survive Angel raids when in asteroid field.

However, I would replace those gattling rails as soon as possible.

Replace them with what? Just more 150mm, or some lasers?

Also, Teek, will you be my EVE friend?

I will once I get the game back and my new computer.

Gattling rails are starter weaponry, very weak. Try and get some howitzers on there.

High five. Post up your character name when you get it back.

Howitzers, got it. Also, anyone know any good places to find laser frequency crystals near Duripant?

Man, someone must tell me if I am doing well with this ship.

1x Catalyst Destroyer - The Eclectic Bowie
2x 150mm rail guns
2x 125mm rail guns
1x 75mm Gatling rail gun
1x 75mm Gatling prototype gauss cannon
1x dual barrel small pulse laser w/ Microwave Crystal
1x dual barrel small beam laser w/Microwave Crystal

why are you using lasers on a catalyst http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c251/CN3089/Emoticons/emot-psyduck.gif





actually, why are you using a catalyst at all http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c251/CN3089/Emoticons/emot-psyduck.gif

Because Catalysts are big and shaped like wings and are the only Gallente destroyer I can find shut up.

Also lasers are fun.

Wow, huh.

Apparently my ship doesn't have enough power to sport 6 rails and 2 hybrids.

So now I have seven and one. Odd number bug me. :saddowns:

I'd get into a Battlecrusier and fit some blasters. I have done this on my Brutix and his tanking isn't too bad either. Getting all the skills good on this new account (2-3months old now) before i change to Brutix to Mermy or a BS.

Skiiran if ur a Gellente you should use Hybrid's.
If your Amarr use Laser.
Minimatar use Gat/Howz
Caldari have sick missle skills...lol.

Good stuff though, but don't fit 'incorrectly' and make sure ur tank and 'stuff' in lower/mid slots are good.

Rails are hybrids. On a catalyst, fit as many 125's on there as you can. If you have CPU issues, buy stronger rails, such as compressed coil guns. If you cant afford them, try to get up as close to scout as you can.

The bonuses are what matters when you go to fit a ship. They're what push you over edge that determines whether you can kill something or not.

7 x 125mm Railgun II
1 x 1mn AB II or 1mn MWD II

Also, make sure you get Engineering and Electronics to at least IV ASAP, and to V whenever you have the time. They give you more CPU/Grid with which to fit modules.

No, it's really gay. Actually, I think the UG- gate works, but that heads towards 87- doesn't it?
They've unbanned POS warfare, but there's a bug that makes it so when you attack a POS, your rate of fire will drop down to zero seconds. If this happens to you and you end up dealing all that damage to a POS, it's considered an exploit and you get banned for it. They really need to ban POS warfare now, because people cant attack POSs to defend their sov now :\. Smash could go down to the deep south and stick a POS at every free moon and there would be nothing BOB could do about it. The same could be said for anyone comming into Smashkill space.

My character's name is "Zeph Solaris". Look at my info and you can find my corp's name and HQ. Be sure you check the HQ tab when applying.

I'm playing it with my best friend zach and we used to play this game after I think either Firedragon or Nic introduced me to it, hah. Repeating trial accounts gets boring after a while though..

EVE FTW!

Agreed, EVE has to be the only MMO that has pulled me in, not even WoW had this effect on me.

Worth paying for it.
