Looks good. The problem with EVE is that there is no sense of location (new nebulaes hopefully fix that). Freelancer was awesome in this regard as the more exotic systems were miles away from the safety of the easy areas. Gave the universe some SCALE.

EVE isn't really a spaceship game anyway. PvP combat you stay zoomed out looking at a spreadsheet [/bittervet]

I played around with the beta of BP.

Wasn't really that impressed - the controls were klunky, there was really no proper tutorial or reference for how to do things, and it was utterly impossible without a joystick (or two) because you couldn't crank the mouse sensitivity up high enough.

Pretty, yes, but not so much in the gameplay from the week or two I was putzing with it. Might still be able to log in, dunno.

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Oh look. The game has an in-game encyclopedia about the universe.

* Seriphyn looks at CCP.

The game is open beta, EVE has been out for almost 10 years...

Black Prophecy looks fun, but other than being Internet spaceships, it's a VERY different game from EVE. I think it looks more like SWG JtL.

Having played a little bit of both, yeah that is a fair comparison. As I've said before I played a bit of it but didn't really like the feel of it. Might just be that if I'm shooting at things in a "twitch" type game I get bored unless it is another player though. vOv

Looks like a blend between Freelancer and EVE. If it stays F2P I might have a look at it.

I think the main problem we'd have with any SF/Space Opera game is that we'd always be using EVE as a comparison.

And there is no equal. Likely never will be. So we have to decide how much of a down-grade we want to accept, in most cases.

Honestly its not very comparable. Immersion wise Black Prophecy totally wtfpwn Eve spreadsheet (tm). They are just not focused on the same things.

Assuming it were to happen perhaps Mortal Online would be an adequate home.
