Just a game I ran into, I'm starting to lose interest in the mod I'm working on now...

Seems very promising.

You get to trade, mine, fight, be a bounty hunter, be a pirate, be a _spy_.

You can build, and it can be destroyed in your sleep.

" Groups of players will be able to build and manage space stations, start up major mining operations on planets and asteroids, manufacture goods and equipment and, no less importantly, fight other groups of players for their bases and resources. "

You can build, and it can be destroyed in your sleep.

--edit--
I guess you can own more then one ship as well, and name them.
Types: Length:
Frigate: 100m
Cruiser: 400m
Battleship: 1200
Titan: 2400+

there are ALOT more features that I wish were in FL, that this game has... these are some fun ones

It sounds good at first blush, but if you've played a MMORPG before then you'll know what this translates to:

"You'll be entirely at the mercy of people who can devote 10+ hours a day to playing the game and to the few largest clans (guilds, whatever) on the server".

Designing a game so the things you work hard to aquire can be lost when you're NOT playing the game is a feature only to the masochistic. For the rest of us it's a flaw.

Finally, someone who speaks the truth. Amen to what you just said.
That whole destroying my accomplishments while I'm a work or play or sleep is just stupid.
No one has time to constantly rebuild just to have it plowed when you're not around.

Just my 2 cents.

Eve is a giant mining simulator.

i played the beta, and trust me... it has all the mining stuff fleshed out, with none of the combat.

im going to guess alot of us playing freelancer dont do so to mine.

Judging by the video clips from the site, the combat looks pretty tame. The rest of the game looks pretty good but judging by the graphics it would need super computers to run. Also I never like the idea of multiplayer only games, especially when it lags.
All the extra features look pretty good but I think the idea of cloning yourself so that you can keep going after you die is a little stupid.

Another "subtle" approach to steal the audience. The EVE guys will stoop so low? lol. You people are pathetic.

if you dont have visa,mastercard or switch, you cant pay for it, and they only take dollars, which also sucks

ok.. jus to clear the air here.. eve just plain SUCKS.. its just an economic simulator that happens to be set in space... the game is jus plain boring.. and honestly... runs like ass.. and i got a nice box too.. athlon 2.0 ghz.. etc etc..
if u want a good mmorpg.. theres 2 of them that i can stand... Ragnarok online is jus sweet.. and for space sims Earth and beyond is good too.. and u dont lose ur crap while ur away on either of them.. that feature.. if u can call it a feature.. was made i believe by bill gates possibly?(hehe j/k) i mean.. all it does is piss people off.
