Eve Online - The Future is War

A small movie I put together, made up of some of my favourite parts of various EVE Online trailers and movies. I've put it to one of my favourite pieces of music from the new BSG since I love a bit of sci-fi and space warfare, and that program does it better than any other.

NOTE: The original video footage is very hi-res, so this video works best when watched in full screen - otherwise I think it's a bit dark to see the detail.

BSG SOUNDTRACK FTW!

@Alexc3217 Yea I misspoke. I meant to say that's why people use drones to transmit visuals back to a monitor instead of using sensors directly on the ship (where a window would be) to transmit visuals.

@Szeicheng Windows are weak points, EVE ships have no weak points.

@Szeicheng Ok, here's my explanation, and the one CCP use. You play as a capsuleer in EVE Online, meaning you interface with your ship using advanced technology in a pod roughly 4 metres long. When you are inside the pod you have full control of the ship and in extension its camera drones, which is what you manipulate when you manipulate the camera in-game.

@Szeicheng yes it would be impossible in side the pod (their is an incersion video i think or one of the eve trailers where you see one getting out. Also the computer proigram in the pod is ment to make all the sound so you can hear them, ( as in space no sound) Hope this helps a bit more

[Szeicheng]

@TheOverlord80 So you mean you each ship has a drone that is outside of your ship which you use to see the whole battlefield and that's why people don't look out their ship's actual window to fly?

[TheOverlord80]

@TheOverlord80 wow thats bad lol must of hit a lot of wrong buttons :) fail

[TheOverlord80]

@Szeicheng Just saying you are ment to be in a drone camra i think so i never have had a big problem with it and dont forget you are meant to be in a pod that (i understad) you cnat see out of so you cant frst person fly it , however they did yous to have a options where you could scroll right in the ship (i was told by an older player) so maybe they will bring it back if there is demand :) sorry for spelling typing this out quik before i go to work and my spelling is very bad :)

If only players piloted ships in first person like in Black Prophecy. I personally find EVE online a much better concept overall... It's sense of realism is amazing on a large scale, yet it breaks this realism at the individual player level... For such a game that embraces realistic gameplay on the macro level it disappoints me that the same sense of immersion isn't there on the micro level =( I really want to play EVE but watching the battle from outside my ship just doesn't make sense...
