Party on! (Sorry, Softheart and George. The "Baking Powder" joke by Ordaz is from Wayne's World. It's a substitute for "beg your pardon". The rest was us throwing in motre quotes from the movie). "Aaaahh! Turn it off man, turn it off! It's sucking my will to live! Oh, the humanity!"
I had not foreseen this mess... Laughs and all I hope it didn't cause discomfort or unrest! Thanks for the explanation, Peter! Stumbling upon this today has (almost) made my day!
I've always felt EVE and Entropia were like two planes on a collision course. They are trying to create avatars and planets (to get out of the "you ARE a spaceship" situation they have) and MA are trying to create spaceships we can walk around in and pilot to other worlds... plus trying to get the interplanetary trading going. I always thought CCP would get there first to be honest but really I think MA are closer to (and clearly still pushing hard for) having EVE style space stuff than CCP are to having avatars and places you can walk around on. MA already have a rudimentary system that seems to be more or less working. Obviously it will take a while for trade and combat and content to evolve but I don't think there is any sense in rushing it. I think laying the framework and having more BPs with multi-planet sourced resources will see this sort of thing evolve naturally. The EVE avatar creation is better though ;) Wist
