Wasted training time!

Oh gods. I cannot imagine anything more boring than single player EVE…

It will become singleplayer if something doesent change

Unless a bunch of your ideas are implemented I can see EVE continue as multiplayer game for decades to come.

Be the change you want to see and stop trying to lobby for singleplayer EVE.

“Your idea will make EVE singleplayer”

Im adding that to the bingo card.

What will you do once the bingo card is full?

uhm, yeah…

That is exactly my point…
@Bakster_Kane wants EvE to be X4…

You’ve missed the point.

EVE is first and foremost an experience. Following that it is a game couched in a simulation.
I’ve had the opportunity to read a number of your posts, your suggestions, and your replies and it is clear that you do not understand the experience with which you are engaged.

Understandably you are attracted to EVE because it is a superior gaming experience and like fine dining it is offering something substantial, something elevated above the ordinary. However your taste buds and appetite are accustomed to fast food and as such you grow agitated at the rituals and formalities.

Because you’re a tourist and you are accustomed to the fast food experience you’ve had at home, upon visiting our country and in lieu of an easy, ready-made meal, the kind you’d find back home, you’ve instead attended your first real restaurant. And… to your surprise it was great, you are hooked. The food is great, the atmosphere is great, the all-round experience is quite honestly spectacular, all except for one thing, it’s not fast enough and it’s not cheap enough. So off you go armed with your diet of fast food experiences to offer some tips to the manager.

“Make it quicker, you offer, make it cheaper.” That’s the winning formula, you say, and you point to McDonalds, and you point to KFC and you say, look see, they’re successful restaurant chains, and big, and wildly popular and you could be too if only you’d make the food QUICKER and CHEAPER because that’s what YOU think YOU want.

EVE is not fast food, EVE is fine dining. Therefor EVE is not to everybody’s tastes. It’s not to your tastes because it’s not quick enough and it’s not cheap enough. EVE is for people who want the plot to unravel slowly, people who want to commit to something long term and meaningful, people who want to delay gratification, make plans months in advance, and politic over the finer details, people who want to play at life. EVE is a fine dining experience.
Don’t get me wrong, not every fine dining experience is great and EVE could definitely use some improvements. However those improvements are best served by people who are interested in this genre of play experience, people who appreciate what EVE is and want THAT experience to be better.

There’s an abundance of fast food games for players such as yourself to consume… yet you’ve chosen to play EVE (Probably because when you eat enough of it you realise that fast-food is ■■■■) and in your ignorance as to what makes this experience great, you’ve set about changing it to match what you know and are familiar with instead of appreciating how the game forces you to change.

I think that the example that you have given that best exemplifies this is your request that when you onboard your MCU from space that it would also onboard it’s cargo at the same time which it does not. What you’ve prioritised with this request is convenience. You want the game to be simpler, and easier to play. The fact that the MCU onboards without its cargo takes a guaranteed outcome and adds a slight amount of uncertainty to it alongside a small delay. And it is in that uncertainty and because of that delay that opportunity and chance emerge. Did you just warp off without your hard earned reward? Were you under pressure from a potential gank? Or simply not paying enough attention? EVE simulates consequences by not holding your hand at every junction. In most gaming experiences the enemy is your enemy, in EVE the enemy is as likely yourself and your own ignorance and stupidity and therein lies the flavour and the attraction. Perhaps… and you should consider this deeply, you don’t like the way that tastes…

You’ve come to understand that the alternatives simply can not compare to EVE and that is likely why you continue to play. Rather than ruin what is unique, take a break, and then return when you’re ready to appreciate what it offers.

People who play EVE Online believe they are playing a sophisticated game made for and by smart people. They figure if it costs $15-$20 a months that must be the case. But what if its not. What if CCP are ripping people off?

If EVE was made for complete dumbasses, then we would have a concurrent player count of 4 million players like WoW…

If you make games for dumbasses you will struggle to be successful.

There are plenty of games made for dumbasses that require very little in the way of thinking or time investment, such as Fortnite, and look how popular it is…
