This shit is indecipherable but always cool to hear about. I really think someone could chronicle EVE and actually make a pretty decent TV show based off of the events that happen. Like Battlestar Galactica that doesn't go to shit after 2 seasons.

Speaking of Star Citizen, that game's supposedly instanced, but if I can deliver something like THIS with all human players, it won't matter how many people are on the screen at EVE Online at the same time.

So based on what I have heard. There is a population cap on the server and CFC was able to get most of their fleet in and TEST who didn't stage their fleet quickly enough could no longer bring more ships in once the server pop cap was reached.
So the fight was lopsided with a 2 to 1 ship advantage for one side.

Got excited when I read the thread title. As soon as I read Eve Online I was disappointed. Never seen one of their "giant" spacebattles before?
Imagine the assault on the Death Star in Star Wars. Pretty exciting, right? Unfortunately this is the only thing you get to see:

That Asakai battle was pretty cool.
That moment when all the bright flashes appear followed by titans/carriers warping in.
That kind of thing just isn't possible in themepark type MMO's.
I think game's like EVE(one's that prioritize player interaction and driven content over completing static content) is where the genre should be headed.

This is a real thing that is being made.
I believe the goons started an invasion into TEST space about a month ago. I haven't read up on what exactly led to this battle taking place today.

This.
I hope next gen we get a Destiny or Star Wars game that allows space battles of just 100 combatants, but with 25 fps graphics.
Face it Tiger..

I wish it was Ace Combat in space instead of this ant squashing battle.
I wish somebody made a game like that.

only there is no way star citizen will be about to pull off the scale
This is true, we'll see if EQ Next lives up to what it's being hyped as.

While I am excited at this historical event, I don't know what I'm watching....
Reinforced? Doesn't that mean there's still one more fight left?
Yup
You can almost taste the spreadsheet

As someone who's actually been in fairly big fights before, while the actual battle can be exciting if, you know, you load, the amount of waiting around you often have to do before one of these fights is boring as shit.
Of course, you want to talk about boring things in EVE, shooting towers is (or at least was) the worst thing.

Now what would crank this up for me is if you could send a team of Dust players onto someone's battleship to invade it and they'd be battling against either automated defenses that the EVE player purchased or you could potentially have another FPS corporation there for the ambush.
That would be cool to watch... although I'm not sure if reducing the game speed or server speed or whatever it was by 90% would make something like that possible.

That would be awesome, and I'm surprised it hasn't been talked about. Instead of having EVE ships fire on Dust players, have them transport the players onto other ships (maps) instead. Even if the transport or target ships get destroyed, the players can just respawn and try for another.
Boarding missions? Sounds great. It would actually work in this scenario as the MMO is significantly slowed, the FPS would have ample time for a deathmatch / conquest style match aboard ships.
