All about EVE
Switchblade:
that's about right, yeah. EVE is very much a two-tiered game in combat - with actual fleets entering the fray, it falls to fleet commanders to come up with not only the overarching strategy, but also the on-the-spot tactics (calling primary and secondary targets, mostly), with individual pilots then deciding which modules to activate in which order to cynch it.
Slick:
Man you guys make this sound awesome, I want in. This is exactly what I want right now, especially if there are good battle tactics.
I disdain 'army of one' sort of tactics, lone commando who can kill an army. I want fleet battles with big ships and logistics.
Of course, it's not out for mac... God bless blizzard, all of their software has been hybrid for both operating systems since starcraft, meaning your PC WOW discs would work just fine on my mac.

You do realize that it takes at least 8ish months to become a reasonably good BS pilot? That is, if you dont learn for things like mining, science, logistics, gangleading, social skills etc.
Not wanting to burst your bubble, I say, people always need more tacklers.
Grawsith:
Catfish Man, you're totally right. To word my rant differently, it is about fast versus slow strategy. Resources, weapon modification etc. make up the bulk of any good RPG / RTS. An FPS, in contrast, is actually very unmodifiable, because of the speed difference.
In EVE for example, there are miles between you and the enemy. In an FPS (let's say, Half-Life 2) the distance is in feet. EVE gives you the reaction time, the patience and the diligence to carry out your plan. In HL2, you got two seconds before a headcrab starts making sweet sweet love to your eyeballs.
Twitching vs. Cruising. It's as simple as that.
nihilist:
You mean kilometres. The rest of the world uses a sane measurement system.
Also: you can do some seriously in-your-face fighting; if you like to web/NOS people, fly up their ass, and hammer them from a few hundred metres away. All about your style, and what works for you.
Me, I sit in a ship 50km away and try to pound you with missiles from a distance.
