  • I am surprised they abandoned this...kind of a shame

  • I sure hope they eventually put this into the game.

  • @prestb Same but seeing how its been 4 years since this demo was showed, I am doubtful.

  • @steelorigin Well it turns out it was fake. It was confirmed by some CCP guy, so that really brings down my mood towards this. Still a cool idea though.

  • @prestb Thats ashame, this look pretty good, they need to do this already.

  • @steelorigin I agree completely.

  • 5 years and this still wasn't put in the game? Why is this still not implemented???

  • Ships in EVE don't have enough power to leave Earth's atmosphere, out of warp speed anyway.

  • Space ships don't have the aerodynamics needed to atmospheric flight!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @sevlarievlis

    Think before you say something. If your car had jet engines pointing to the ground it could fly too (with proper build)... Take aircraft Harrier as an example... Game future advanced spaceships that human kind wont invent for another hundreds of years, they travel with light speed in space.

  • Comment removed

  • so many things they do never come out, like the early stage RTS - command and conquer style on the planets prototype. And after FOUR years in development by a team of around 100, we get a TINY room to walk in, WOOO.. SIGH!!

  • @arcadia1701e apparently you are unaware of how difficult stuff like this and walking in stations is to implement into a game such as EVE, if it was as easy as you think it is then CCP would have done this years ago.

  • oh sweet ship

  • @CmdrSmirnoff

    This vid is fake. Please edit your description.

  • @Sethbeastalan This vid is not fake this vid was run at fanfest a few years ago, in the full clip before the vid is played the ccp rep states that this clip was made for the ppl at fanfest and had not been shown before and would never be shown again, hence some guy shot this on his phone.

  • This is not atmospheric flight, just a mission (i.e. deadspace) with a backdrop.

  • Quite literally all in their head huh? Does that mean the clones are in the tanks all the time on dmt for their clone lives? heheh

  • i think it will be stupid if in atmosferic flight we will be using the standard ships we actually use in space

  • think in this day and age atmospheric flights shouldnt be a problem....

  • This was posted in 2006. I've been playing since 2006 and this is the first I've seen/heard of this project. While this is cool in concept, I don't think it's coming within the next few years. Like the Jove regions, it's just a rumor, it'll probably never happen.

  • @Kukafuchi This vid was uploaded in 2006. ;) Been around awhile. I had seen it soon after the initial upload but always figured it was just a proof of concept vid and not much else.

  • i hope this planatary flight comes out ^^ yay for grammar its late and i am tired so bite me

  • what agent is this?

  • um can i ask if this is some sort of expansion?

  • why were they clapping? the ship was flying at warp speed trough space near a gas giant and than * PLOP* he is right above a planet. ?

  • i dont get it? on what did the ship land on?

  • Not even close to Infinity

  • Comment removed

  • @apo5 look at the date of when this video was uploaded: of course it wouldn't have been as good as Infinity back then. Eve will never actually implement this as it would be damn near impossible to implement new game mechanics to go with it. Also, they're releasing dust 514 as a kind of 'planet surface' alternative, lol. If i ever see Infinity released I will be chuffed though, looks to be a truly epic concept and build so far.

  • @apo5 Agreed. But infinity is about 50% done. 5 more years ftw

  • Why would you faggots argue something that can't be proven?

  • @vortigaunt911 ive heard somewhere that internet spaceships are serious business

  • My 14 day trial demo that i installed in steam isn't working ):

    Any help guys? Thanks

  • is this gonna be in the tyrannis expansion

  • @honkthedank

    No its not

  • Will it ever be implemented?

  • why not?

  • Tyrannis is about building up Infrastructure and manufacturing lines on Planets like a RTS and not about you flying around on the surface.

  • But I mean like in the future, like with other expansions, would they implement you flying across the surface like in this video.

  • i hope they bring in first person flying n combat.....oh and collidable shiz 2

  • collidable is not gonna happen.

  • actually first person AND collidable ships will not happen

  • hey this is game evolutions! ?

  • this is bullshit i was on that sort of place and its not an atmospheric fight it in space retard

  • @ziv101

    I agree, this is just inside of the gas cloud, no atmospheric cloud.

  • @ziv101 Watch the rest of the video....

  • @ziv101 > Yeah, you in some kind of nebular storm.

  • @ziv101 wow... are you blind? You can clearly see landscapes below the ship. r-e-t-a-r-d

  • It a demo that you use your ship or other thing dude and i dont know how to move on it but i have it it really greats Acaully dude and no fair im installing it i mean't it like shoting and i know how to move over other s-h-i-t

  • Atmospheric flight has propably been cancelled.

    Not sure, but theres a high possibility.

  • probably is cause ships are mostly made out of certian materials and those material break down the moment they enter any atmosphere and well...the ship would just fall apart...

  • @FS9Media It's not a matter of physical durability. Any ship that can take any sort of combat hit would be able to resist re-entry with it's shields. The issue would be getting back up. Also, the larger a ship is, the greater it's gravitational effect on other objects will be. So trying to land a frigate will do less than say a Maelstrom.

    Gamewise, it's an issue of rendering the planets so that you can actually put physical objects on them( you can fly through them after all.)

  • @Jorgon01

    Well yea sheilds will be able to resit re entry but who cares ones the ship comes intontac with atmosphere it will weak and break apart even if its done re entry

  • @FS9Media

    That's not true. We have space shuttles that can survive re-entry WITHOUT shields, and they've done it loads of times. I'm saying that if a large enough ship like a Battleship lands on a planet, the amount of energy required to break it free of the planet's gravity would be enormous.

  • @Jorgon01

    It i s true because ships are mainly made of of a certain material that BREAKS down if it were to come into the atmosphere... i already mentioned before

  • @FS9Media

    If ships were made of materials that broke down when they came into the atmosphere, the first lunar landing would have ended in failure, as would have all other missions into space. If an EVE ship's hull can withstand torp hits or whatever, it should be able to resist the friction of re-entry.

  • @Jorgon01

    Then the ships sent into space were made out of diffrent materials...dude i even just searched it up. ships are made up of like 90% of tritanium...heres the definition of trtanium

    "The main building block in space structures. A very hard, yet bendable metal. Cannot be used in human habitats due to its instability at atmospheric temperatures. Very common throughout the world."

  • Awesome, now when will this be released?

  • yea

  • i hate peoples who filming theyre screens with a cam!!!

  • I hate people who dont know the difference between "their" "they're" and "there"

  • hey im a swiss!

    my motherlanguage is German.

  • @cartesiaLive

    So u dont like people who , cant speak proper english , So ur a racist`?

    or do u believe the whole world should talk perfect englih , just cause u do ?

  • @maxer107050

    The sooner people get witht the program and adopt English as the only language to be used on Earth, the better off we'll all be.

  • @maxer107050 Not sure how that makes him racist. Plenty of people from all races can't speak English. Plenty of people from all races can speak English too.

  • @cartesiaLive Yeah, because their ignorant in they're grammar! Those damn floozies.

  • @cartesiaLive oh yea? well i hate ppl who dont put a period at end of there sentence, genius.

  • @cartesiaLive HATER xO

  • @cartesiaLive They're just angry because their ship got damaged in the game shown there^.

    lol.

  • @cartesiaLive i hate poeple who care to know he diferance between "there" "there" and "there"

  • this was done at a demo. So he has to film it with a camera.

  • ???

    whats the different?

  • this is at a public place where a bunch of people show up to view this specific demo. not a personal computer.

  • *sigh* its a public demo at a public place. he cant use a public computer and install fraps on it and record the demo while there a bunch of people watching it. That is like going to BlizzCon and installing fraps on one of the world of warcraft computers that were demoing the new expansion.

  • ahaa now i know what you mean...

  • well, the new planet graphics are coming out with nezt update, probably getting ready for this. I would say the expansion after dominion for this

  • Kinda lame, lets keep it in space. It would be sweet if you could bombard planets once Dust 514 comes out though.

  • Atmospheric flight will not happen.

    Guess what your ships are made of.

    Tritanium.

    Guess what melts/boils in any heat?

    Tritanium.

  • Actually, it states that pure Tritanium is 'unstable' at atmospheric temperatures. Since ships are made of a tritanium alloy, with armour and shields active, perhaps this will prevent the Tritanium from becoming unstable.

  • The game isn't exactly realistic. You hear the explosions in space as well as launching of weapons etc. Your ship has flames coming out of it when damaged yet their is not the oxygen to keep the flame going. I don't know whether it'll happen, but CCP are not going for realistic simulation they are going simply for game.

  • If ya read up on the history of eve and the stories in its universe all these questions are answered. For instance as a human who is stuck in a permanent neurogel that makes you become one with your ship in mind and body you can only sense things through sensors and the like. Thus an interface that generates visuals and sounds for your mind to play off of was developed .This allows pod pilots to not go bored or numb and have the mental fatigue of no stimuli.Its quite literealy all in their head.

  • Yes, I know. I played Eve for over 5 years and my character was over 100m SP so I read a lot of the back stories, although not. Although nice backstory makes no difference, it's a fictional story, it's like claiming the Matrix is realistic. Eve Online isn't meant to be realistic, it's Sci Fi. As a programmer I can say no MMO is realistic due to constraints, go read a physics book if you disagree, compare to Eve. If Eve was true to how space works, it would be a very boring game.

  • Indeed you are correct it would be fairly dull, i know it dosent claim to be a simulator, but i do like how they toss in a lil of what i like to call 'pseudo science' to at least give some sense of depth and reason. Also i know programing constraits fairly well as a 3d artist i am always geting programers to hammer them into my head  XD.

  • True, I like it as well because of the extra depth in the game. I think there's a lot more to it than any other MMO I've came across so far. Ah I envy you, I've never really had it in me to be good at art.

  • @Pentence best mechanic I've heard for sound in space games yet - do they happen to have an explanation for the fact that you don't decelerate in space due to no wind resistance?

  • @yarahahrwe you float in space so you build up movement or inertia and it takes opposite thrust to slow you down thats why you drift

  • @gridlock112 yeah that's what I'm referring to :p I've never seen a game that requires reverse thrust for deceleration, they all simulate wind resistance cause that's what everyone's 'used' to

  • @yarahahrwe in eve you do decelerate in space due to the warp drive needing to be "anchored" in spacetime to be able to create the warp bubble. Tends to have a drag effect. (predicted to also happen in RL if we can ever make a bussard ramjet)

  • shields retardo?

    and have you ever heard of adding tungsten plating

  • have you ever heard of "hide passive modules"?

  • Guess what is a fictional metal and will do whatever the hell they want it to?

    Tritanium.

  • They said they were considering adding joystick flight for frigates EXCLUSIVELY for when you're doing special missions where you fly in an asteroid and such.

  • this is in space its a mission where you destroy an big ship i think it is an ion storm

  • They never promised anything. They have had plans for the stations and such for a while, and will eventually release it but they never promised a damn thing about atmospheric flight. If you don't like EVE that's just fine and dandy, it's not for everyone that's for sure but please don't come in and rant about how much you hate it.

  • They are releasing walking-in-stations next year. And as you can imagine, that takes a long time to develop, so stop your whining.

  • Im sure now you play a much easier kids game, such as WoW or runescape?

    Need you be taught how hard it is to make these things?

  • I used to play Eve. How can you call it planetary flight, when its a fly towards the click navigation system

  • Can anyone tell me when, or if this is coming out?

    I don't have Eve online (yet) but if this does come out, then I will SO buy Eve!

  • cool

  • still it looks so darn great..

  • has this been implementet yet?

  • No. Just old ideas CCP was cooking up. Hopefully we'll see it someday...

  • sweet :P

  • seams like a waste of development time and resources... just what exactly are you suppose to be doing on the planets exactly?

  • I dont think this is an Atmospheric video...Its probably a deadspace.

    Occasionally I get a very similar one...except mines is extremely bright, but looks exactly like this one.

  • No this is most definitely planetary flight. This is very old footage of something CCP was cooking up, but has not made it into the game as of yet.

  • Yeah...towards the end yeah. In the beginning though, It reminds me of one of those Deadspaces though..

  • Woah! Is this all part of the Ambulation project?

    I tried EvE more then several times. But I couldnt get into it due to these restrcitions wich apparently Ambulation will improve on. Is this correct?

    Looks very potentially awesome.

  • i cant see how half the ships can fly in atmo because they dont have an air-frame of any kind. I mean look at the megathron, if that thing went into a planets atmosphere it would drop like a rock.

  • They'll probably create a whole bunch of special atmospheric ships that you could take planet side. Probably frigate or cruiser sized ships, but nothing like a battleship or larger.

  • You don't know that. How do you know they don't have an air frame? Obviously the ships in EVE have some sort of stabilizing air frame to be able to just sit still in space without floating off somewhere.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that only frigates could fly in the atmospheres... I could be wrong.

  • I thought the explanation they gave as to why the ships couldnt go into atmosphere is because the substance that the ships are made of degrade in atmospheric conditions...

  • oooooooooooo.... ^^

  • I miss engine trails :(

  • why did they change that?

  • I guess it's because of the ugly mess caused by trails combined with lag and warping. It was still worth it imo.

  • there is soooo much that could still be added onto eve.. its like an everexpanding universe

    i bet gay WOW cant do that

  • You be surprised... however, if you look at the lore of WoW all Blizzard is doing in continuing on of those stories rather then introducing something outlandishly new that effects the game as a whole, oooh wow meta-gaming, big woopdido.

  • lol your opnion is a biased one so you cant really give a fair educated thought about it. eve is a sandbox game where the only goal is to do whatever it is you want. WoW is a linear game with clearly defined goals for you to shoot for. theres pluses for both sides but when it comes down to it its a personal preference. if you love eve fine you dont need to bash wow and vice versa. if your to stupid to understand eve is a niche game then you shouldnt be playing it anyway

  • I hope that they someday add this in Eve Online so that players can do more than just fly in space, but get down there on the planets and kick a little ass. and with Ambulation maybe someday we'll be firefighting on the ground.

  • O_O I always saw ads and stuff about that game but that just looks fucking AWESOME

  • Comment removed

  • lol watch the whole movie and then post stupid comments, gees talk about making a fool out of yourself

  • Why is it that people that think they know everything comment on a video, that was intended as a look into exactly what it says (atmospheric flight) and start flaming everyone? because I've now been told I'm the following: a tard, noob, and an idiot, which I don't think is true.

  • Comment removed

  • W A S D system would make station ambulation and atmospheric fligh perrrfect...

  • HELL NO. Joystick flight would be much better. :P

  • well not everyone has one, and you cant count on ccp to bring it in quickly, it would take 3 years worth of fanfest preview of a joystick system for them to release something like that :O i swear they've been showing atmospheric flight for 3 years and station walking for 3 years.

  • I would rather CCP (...and any other development company) take their time and get it right rather than rush it :)

  • Yes though i guess introducing it 3 years (or more) before anything is released is a bit much, Im not neccisarily complaining abou this, mainly because when they do come out with somethings its extremely epic and well worked on.

    However whatever way it goes, eve is still the greatest. it'd be hard to bring anything that drastic into the game without re doing the game mechanics ALL over. which i guess is why. plus we know they LOVE to seal every single last exploitable glitch which takes time.

  • Bioware take their time to get things right...

  • isnt tritanium unstable at atmospheric tempuraures and isnt that what those ships are made of?

  • doesn't exactly look like a habitable planet

  • i rekon the stuff used in ships would be refined or treated to protect the hull.

  • Atmospheric flight, walking in stations... all we need next is walking on planets with some FPS action and EvE will pretty much cover every type of game you can think of.

  • if they made this game controllable by joystick it might be interesting

  • It would no longer be a mmorpg but a flight simulator.

  • fine by me!

  • Actually, I am wondering... without joystick controls, how are they going to have us flying around planets? There is a crash safety right? :p

  • i was thinking that they add a joystick option so if you want to keep it a point and click you can or if you want to get a hands-on feel for it then just flip controls and you're there

  • I don't think it's possible to do that, since the joystick players would get obvious advantages over those without it or just issues with the game engine.

    Like:

    - Evasion possibilities

    - Crashing into other ships/structures

    - Flying does not depend on skills anymore but only your ability

    - etc.

  • true true

    but if they could, i would just like to you know, joyride it

    just fly around to fly around

    you know, have fun and stuff haha

    but i do understand what you mean though =]

  • I understand, I would love the joystick option too, and if CCP would find a way to work around those issues, I would probably put in an application to work there :p

  • haha, good luck with that =]

  • Thank you :p

    I'll need it

  • On the flip side, I think lasers/missiles/etc would still hit/evasion wouldn't be a possibility. No matter what, it's still a huge number crunch. And if the missiles start to miss, make 'em heat seeking.

  • what's wrong with player abilities overcoming the skill point system? At least then people with a fuck ton of skill points aimed at their ship would have to work harder to win against others of the same/lower skill level. ofc they would still have an advantage, so it should be perfect.

  • WHAT?? and make this game like freelancer??? Fuc that!! This game is fine without the use of a joystick.

    You would have to keep picking it, putting it down so you could use the mouse.

    Noway they could make the game work on joystick alone.

    Keep it the way it is thanks.

  • Freelancer is miles better than eve.

  • Freelancer is miles OLDER than eve, and without the mods the game would have died years ago.

    And come on!! how is freelancer better than EVE??

    The depth of game play in FL is so shallow its not funny, as for he voice acting...(your kinda new here) is about the only line you hear. Over and over and over and over and over......and over!!

    Freelancer is tiresome, repetitive and bor i n g zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

  • it may come out this year, along with walking in stations

  • How did you get in the atmosphere? I tried once but the planets are pushing me away.

  • You can't do it yet. This is just a teaser of something that may come out Someday

  • Aaah, I see. Damn that would kickass.

  • this might spell death for infinity: quest for earth

  • I tried to fly into a super Blue Giant star....Left my computer on for hours... not even close...

  • I admit the idea of planetary defenses would be awesome.... planetary combat would be even more so. But..... unfortionatly I believe CrusoeCale is correct. If one day they do make it towhere there is a Shooter type MMO linked to EVE, like mercs fighting planet side, it would be nice but far fetched at best.

  • Well that "pop up planet" would be a moon, and the reason it came up so quick was because he was in warp. Low video quality might explain the ship that looks like "ass", because if you have ever played EVE you would know nothing in that game looks bad.

  • dude he recorded the video with a video camera no wonder it has crappy cuality and the guy must think we are retards

  • I AGREE!!!

  • eve would be so much better if you could actualy fly on planets and walk in stations ..

  • i know, imagine how long it would take to make that type of upgrade.

    well unless they only have one type of terrain for planets.

  • Actually I think Planetary flight, governance and even some form of strategic planetary surface interaction is on the drawing board for CCP. I can only imagine what the game would be like if they were able to pull it off.
