Anyone here playing EVE: Online?
The best MMOG out there IMO.
The big ship in the background is a Apocalypse, the most expensive ship in the game. ~100 million ISK (compare that to my wallet, which right now holds about 17 million ISK, after lots of hard work.
)
The game is full of details, like this abandoned mining station.
Mark IV hauler, used to.. haul cargo (minerals, ore or whatever).
Me in a shuttle.. The game is so huge so sometimes you have to use shuttles if you want to get someplace quickly. The haulers for example are very slow. All ships can go warp-speed though.
My ship, Moa class. In warp drive. Warps at 3 AU\'s per second. 1 AU = the distance from the earth to the sun.
When mining, watch out for pirates trying to steal your cargo. As a beginner you start out as a miner, to get cash and upgrade your ships. After you have bought a good enough ship you can do missions for argents, killing pirates, pirate leaders etc. and get cash in reward.
The game also has user made "factions" or "clans" which you can join (I’m member of JuBa Corp), these clans can wage war on each other if they wish.
Me on a mining operation with the corp, we are in a 0.6 level system which can be fairly dangerous if you do not watch your back. The good thing with going on mining operations is hopefully that your buddies will help out when the heat comes.
The game is huge, me and my brother have been playing for about 4-5 months and we still have visited maybe 2% of all systems. The skill tree in the game is also enormous.
The EVE galaxy, each dot on this 3D map is a system which you can visit. (not the best picture)
In a few months the developers are going to release a big patch, codenamed Shiva. This will add a whole new race (there are already 4 races), with its own mini-galaxy etc.
