It seems Eve would be a ripe universe for a 4X style game. Has there been any discussion or ideas about such a project?
EVE is already that, unless you are talking about a board game or some kind of turn based game.
EVE Galaxy Conquest, it’s a mobile game, pretty pvp centric, although I keep hearing they are going to bring more PVE to it.
I’d pay good money for a 4x accelerator right now…
Something like that, like Stellaris or Galactic Civilizations.
Yeah, that’s EVE Galaxy Conquest. Give it a try, it’s apparently not awful.
Disgusting.

Isn’t EVE already a 4X style game?
As player you can explore, expand, exploit and exterminate.
In fact all of the large groups in EVE are playing a 4X game like that.
The only difference with the usual 4X games is that in EVE besides a couple of CEO players most players usually don’t command an entire empire but only a single unit (or multiple if multiboxing) in one of these empires. And that unit is exploring, is gathering resources, is part of (or even commanding) a fleet defending your base or is attacking other empires and their bases to expand your empire and conquer enemy territory, together with many other units in the same group controlled by other players.
EVE seems like an MMO version of a cooperative 4X game to me.
I mean its a standard ogame clone so its pay to win by default
Ogame was pretty fun when new. Haven’t played in ages but it might’ve been my first space game.
I loved Ogame back in the day. Even paid 2 bucks to get rid of the advertisement and gain the empire overview. I shed a small tear when it went pay to win.
