I wonder what else in this expanding and amazing 'verse we also have not seen yet... =]<br /><br />Man is am amazing animal... tell him it can;t be done and step back and watch the naked ape go! He'll figger it out... just you bet he will! Especially if there's a buck to be made innit!! LOL I will bet on Man's ingenuity everyday and twice on Sunday!<br /><br />To the point, I really liked the BSG '04 warp effects... especially when Adama hot dropped the Galactica inside the atmo, began falling like a million tons of death, launched fighters and BOOM! Warped out!! Man that still gives me shivers!Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-13394992305566181222013-01-05T19:50:10.402-05:002013-01-05T19:50:10.402-05:00Thanx... always pleased when my word impact others...Thanx... always pleased when my word impact others. Very cool feeling. =]<br /><br />I often make BMs inside the dock of the stations I frequent (Rens, Dodi, Jita, etc.) and BMs out past 1000, 2000km as insta-warps from and into the dock and so I avoid the stoopid warping THRU a station thing.<br /><br />And I agree, too much Immersion 'could' slow down the gameplay... but only if it was ALLOWED to by CCP. Deeper Immersion features could be made a player choice. Oh you would still be in the same verse and live, and die, by the same rules such as they are, but YOU could choose to dock or undock in a more detailed manner, or not... its a radio button in the Esc Screen.<br /><br />I, for one, would love a small cut scene style rendition of my ship actually being tractored into the station and through the vast corridors with other ships moving about until I am settled in at my dock. Then a cut scene of my Pod ejecting and landing on the porch... but this would be in my local client only, everyone else would see me just land at the station and go "poof" as usual.<br /><br />Customised gameplay options... =]Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-23180326466543175292013-01-05T19:36:19.199-05:002013-01-05T19:36:19.199-05:00I have oft pondered the 'removed' aspect o...I have oft pondered the 'removed' aspect of our gameplay in Eve. but, I can deal with it because as the Captain of a massive starship you are not the one flying it anyway. You are most likely buried deep inside in a darkened Command Center with multiple massive screens giving you the 'big picture' tactically and strategically. You are sitting in your Capt Kirk Chair (special ordered) barking out orders and making the BIG DECISIONS of LIFE and DEATH... so, yea, I can accept the current way-we-play because this is not a fighter game... it is far more a tactical game and I like that.<br /><br />But I am playing around with a programmable mouse and joystick to see if I can make the stick generate the mouse clicks in space needed for manual flight. If I ever get it working right you can be sure I will KEEP IT TO MYSELF!!! =P Manual flight in PvP can be the difference between me looting his wreck or him looting mine.<br /><br />I get my RvB on occasionally and have found if I can keep my head about me in a fleet fight when flying support tackle (which is all I fly ATM in RvB) and MANUALLY fly my ship avoiding orbiting, direct approaching, etc. I have found I can actually last longer on the field. I have been able to break off warp out and re-engage when I was sure I was gone... and I believe it was because I was not predictable.Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-22399605526293724472013-01-05T18:56:11.663-05:002013-01-05T18:56:11.663-05:00Warping is FTL travel therefore if you want to res...Warping is FTL travel therefore if you want to respect Einstein you should perhaps refrain from warping.<br /><br />I'd guess that the trope dates back to Star Trek and the idea is that when you warp you're not quite in space. (Later this was shown more graphically with Star Wars' hyperspace imagery). So if you're not in space, you don't have to worry about hitting planets.<br />Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-31193560698123847792013-01-05T18:44:48.376-05:002013-01-05T18:44:48.376-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659098399807697001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-86814252811429697212013-01-05T17:24:29.691-05:002013-01-05T17:24:29.691-05:00Oh wow big post.

Great ideas and lots of stuff to ponder.<br />For me the main thing breaking immersion is, spreadsheets in space.<br />I have optimized and worked my way around the UI for months now and still i only see maybe 50% my ship and whats happening in space. The rest is covered with the tables, charts, tools you need. <br />This gets worse if you get into an actual fight. And most times one is zoomed out to see whats going on.<br /><br />And you never really sit in the ship anyway, you never really fly it. So even for a space simulator its not nearly there. Its more a fight in space simulator, like being a commander of a space fight maybe.<br /><br />I wouldnt mind some hands on actual flying for once.

I loved diving into the deep end of the logic/rational pool and I came up, I feel with a decent foray into the physics and possibilities inherent in our beloved 'verse.

Go yo...Wow, that's a low of words and graphics. Go you! Yeah, there are immersion breakers aplenty in EVE Online. The computing power required to overcome them though is staggering (and may not exist at this point in space/time.) One tenant of SF as a genre has always been you have to get enough of the science right for the reader to then suspend disbelief when you stray from the known science. The really big between-the-lines question here is: is EVE Online real enough in all those other ways for you to suspend your disbelief concerning the immersion breakers? When CCP gets to that point for you, can you accept it and immerse? Where is that point? That's for each of us decide.
