Also this isn't Skyrim. Its a battle and not an exploration game.

It's an MMO, which kind of implies being able to roam around a bit. I hope they end up adding it in within the first year, I want to be able to scope out good places to put bases and things like that, and being able to hunt for resources and loot would just be awesome.

Not everyone likes shooting people all day every day (myself included, despite being pretty good at it) Sometimes, you just gotta explore alien planets with your dropship.

My guess is that locating resources will continue to happen in Eve. This is a core mechanic in Planetary Interaction, which is basically mining. You perform scans of the planet from orbit to see where you want to place items and structures based on available resources.

As for the exploration part, I wonder if that will come with PvE.

When I play EvE, I do PI, so I know all that stuff. It wouldn't detract from PI players at all, if anything, it would make them infinitely more valuable. What would you rather do, scour an entire planet for resources, or ask your PI buddy to scan down pockets for you?

dent 308 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 967	Posted - 2012.09.07 12:30:00 - [2] - Quote Thats what we are testing, 30 minutes isn't very long. Get on voice comms in a squad. There are channels you can use to meet others. LFSquad is a good one.

Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2012.09.07 12:39:00 - [4] - Quote There are alot lot and lots of featuers not in yet and wont be in by launch. Exploration Districts may not even on the list for the first year of expansions. They hinted that magma worlds may be exploration based however no confirmation. The galaxy generator is being tested currently on one planet before they begin seeding it for the entire galaxy or at least for the area we're going to be fighting in. There are 60,000 planets but its going to be a while before we get them all in.

Forlorn Destrier ZionTCD Legacy Rising 914	Posted - 2012.09.07 20:46:00 - [8] - Quote You have to purchase HAV and Dropships; only the LAV's are free. The purpose for the game is to simulate a warzone for control of a planet. Each planet will be divided into districts (10-20 districts). Each district is a combat zone. The team that wins the most districts win's the planet.

I believe the LAV is the only free vehicle right now as far as militia ones go.

Maken Tosch Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 1592	Posted - 2012.09.07 20:55:00 - [12] - Quote As others have pointed out, a lot is still missing in terms of features. Much of it will not be fully realized until maybe a year after its initial launch this year. This is because CCP games has a long standing history of taking it slow first and make sure things are working as smooth and balanced as possible. This is evidenced by their work with Eve Online that has been running for nine years under this mentality. Some would argue that other companies have implemented full features upon release, but that its because those companies have vast resources. CCP is a small business in a country whose population is less than that of the total number of active subscribers.

crazy space ZionTCD Legacy Rising 879	Posted - 2012.09.07 20:59:00 - [15] - Quote this is a real beta. While there will not be free roam on planets there will be free roam on the stations above the planets and you can look at any battlefield that is owned by you. Maybe even walk around and defend it from NPC drone attacks. Should be fun.

Also the disclaimer was to signify a joke When you say after the fact that it is a joke, it doesn't make the first impression go away. I didn't even take the time to read the disclaimer because what you said angered me. I apologize. Keep in mind as well, that playfully picking on people in text format, especially on forums where people have been attacking others for no reason, can be hard to pick up on.

Shiro Mokuzan 220	Posted - 2012.09.07 21:39:00 - [20] - Quote A) It's a beta of a game that's going to have features added over the years to come. That means it's not finished, not by a long shot. B) We're fighting on a few districts on one planet. There are going to be around 5000 planets available at launch (or soon thereafter). C) Next time you're in a battle, zoom all the way out and realize how huge the maps are and that we're only currently playing on a tiny part of it.

The game worlds are ever changing and always revolving into different aspects. The game world can change after a period of time. So freeroaming a map that can actually change is pretty useless. Changing, as in, the buildings and structures can be moved. You can look up CCP Dust514 presentation on http://www.dust514.com/community/press/ and find the 1hour long presentation speech that talks about the game world mechanics.
