Very interesting.
FW is something that came around long after I left EVE so I'll be doing some research. But from the sound of it, I'd say that's exactly the mix that'll draw in MAG, CoD and BF3 players and get them hooked before making it a hell of a lot more complicated.
I like that direction CCP! I don't think I could've come up with a more elegant solution. |

I like that direction CCP! I don't think I could've come up with a more elegant solution. Yeah, I thought that was a pretty good play on their part. Plus, it might even offer them an avenue to get started on the War Barges and being able to use those. The issue of course of just throwing them in is that they fly through the same place we EVE players use, but you would figure that mercs in the employ of a faction would just be given a cyno in low orbit over the planet in question, eliminating the possibility of being jumped en-route by us. 
CCP have already stated (in FanFest I believe) that initially the war barges will be visible in EVE but EVE players will not be able to interact with them at all. CCP still have no idea how such an interaction mechanic would even work. What if you blow up a war barge with 1000 mercs on board? What happens to them? |

Mobius Wyvern wrote:Exactly. Not sure if you'd be getting that kind of player count, though. I mean, the MCCs will probably only hold a few hundred, and the artwork and screenshots shown so far make it clear that you get two of those per barge, so I imagine the count on a War Barge would only be double whatever the MCCs can carry.
Where is that artwork? I've not yet seen anything connecting a MCC to a war barge. |

they'll have plenty of time to determine all this. At first, no interaction possible with the war barge. Thus, no problem ^^ But eventually it will have to happen Random pirates will point them and try to get a ransom if they can or just kill the entire barge instead
I'm not sure we'll even have that in a year's time. There will be plenty of time for CCP and us to figure this out. |
