    Yeah they gave them a huge pass over and added a bunch of new ones too. We really do mean it when we say do the tutorials.

    I would play this if my ISP wasn't having issues with EVE. It might have been sorted now but people were getting massive packet loss and having login issues.
    Something about it being flagged as p2p traffic and getting low priority.
    Couple that with the horrible international congestion that my ISP is getting on peak.
    Make me sad.
    I want to fly spaceships.

    Probe scanning is the worst, but not as bad as it used to be.

    I've come back to this game after years away and it's been awesome fun.

    Including flying one of these:

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    When you say unreachable, do you mean delve or elsewhere?

    I did a trial of this a little while back, it was pretty enjoyable, think I made like 160M in ten days.

    I really can't afford a subscription though, so I guess I'll just lurk the threads from time to time.

    I bought this game years ago on Steam. Right now in my library it says "EVE Online: Incursion" -- is that the most recent one?

    Having a giant fuckin ship

    Killin mans without waiting 2 minutes for turrets to come online

    Not having to wait a month plus for learning skills to be done before I can start on battleships

    Being able to make money worth a damn without multi-account shenanigans

    Something like that

    Basically last time I played more than a year ago, about when GS was settling in to delve, all the fun came from chatting and making fun of dudes, but the actual game was boring as sin

    i opened up the game on my mac and it asked to download a 2GB in-game update and proceeded to poop on my CPU.

    So I guess I'll wait on this one for when I can not use my computer for an hour straight.

    explain something to me:
    why do people buy timecodes for EVE when it's more expensive than just paying CCP directly? I mean, unless you're buying them using isk.

    Yeah, but they cost $35. If you just sub for 30 days directly through CCP it's $15. So you're paying $5 extra for..what?
