My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
Icelandic developers CCP
Not
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP),
For anyone else who stared at the headline for a moment in confusion.
I was wondering why the Chinese Communist party would be making video games lmao
They just really like EVE Online.
Same here
I remember Eve Online. Excellent screen saver with spin the ship features.
I also never really got into it because it is pretty boring. Another reason is the time sink / grindfest this game is. If I want a job I will get one that pays me and not the other way around. That is ofc just my opinion and I send a glhf to everyone who enjoys playing EVE!
I played it while I was unemployed, it's great for that. You can spend your entire days in there, and forget about your problems in the real world.
I am not unfamiliar with what you are describing. Games can be of help in certain situations and as long as we don't get too lost in them and don't neglect our real life there is nothing wrong with it.
I just came off a bipolar induced manic phase. I hyper focused on eve and played it literally 8-12 hours a day for a few weeks.
The game is fun. It's a slow burn and a lot of the allure comes from the setting itself. I don't have nearly enough time to play anymore. Getting your ship into the pvp zone, finding a group, and finding a fight can easily take an hour.
It should be fun. The Fanfest presentations went well and players are cautiously optimistic about Vanguard. Dust was popular, but not successful commercially. In part, that's because it was a console exclusive that tied to a PC-only main game. If anyone has questions about EVE, let me know.
Regarding Vanguard - how will it tie in to EVE? Will Vanguard players be able to sell stuff to EVE players for currency?
I haven't heard anything about how vanguard will tie into the economy, but I wouldn't be surprised.
There's a new pirate faction-team-up called "the deathless"and several new pirate ships, and I would imagine that Vanguard players might get faction LP which they could sell or use.

CCP hf., doing business as CCP Games, is an Icelandic video game developer based in Reykjavík. Novator Partners and General Catalyst had previously collectively owned a majority stake in the company, and in September 2018, CCP was acquired by South Korean video game publisher Pearl Abyss for $425 million.[1] CCP Games is best known for developing Eve Online, which was released in 2003 and has since been maintained.
I didn't know the acronyms
EVE is sick, CCP is awesome and Dust 514 was pretty cool. Based on CCP's comments about Dust it seems like they really understand why it failed which is great. If they can create something on a slightly smaller scale with some really good mechanics I think it would be a hit. I was kinda hoping they'd go for something like CS/Valorant as I could see that meshing well with shipboard combat settings. Sounds like that's not the case but I'm sure this will be great.
Imagine that though... Small maps set inside capital ships as the setting and named as such. Fast paced combat à la Valorant... Would be cool.
The only and I mean ONLY problem I had with 514 ( I was in one of the testing phases pre release) was that it was a console exclusive, I can't stand playing shooters on a controller anymore.
Excited to see more FPS offerings.
All I want is a way to sell my ISK to recover some of the £k’s I wasted in that game. 😳
My jump freighter was lost and every year it was more of a grind to cover losses and just wasn’t fun anymore which is really the biggest problem! Nerf’s made ships bland and anything unique was nerfed so it was no longer unique… and now so much has changed there’s just too much hassle to figure things out! 😞
And it’s not like I can afford the electric to run a gaming pc these days anyway! 🤦♂️
