Sorry m8 despite the pilot stupidity part of the fault here is a for EVE developers since they have many bugs pile up year after year and the lag sometimes is ridiculous. EVE is having problems with 10% customer baseline cancelling their accounts being in the old players system base. Even their billing system has issues, evn though they dont consider them as issues, where it literally takes 5 days per year and after 6 years of playing EVE you would have lost a complete whole month of playtime taken by EVE billing system. This could become a class action suit to CCP but I guess 99% has brains for the game but not for their financial part of the game. EVE use the excuse of a billing system of 1 month =30 days so when they say they are selling you a whole year is not true since they are selling you just 360 days instead of 365 days. Even when they said their billing system is based on 30 days bill policies they check February, which is 28 or 29 days, as 30 days month so you lose there 1 or 2 days of playtime. Either you have a real 30 days policy specifying that in your billing contract or you got with the usual monthly payment policy whereyou pay for one month and start the 15th at 00:00 so you playtime should end the 14th of next month at 23:59 hours. As for september 19th I let to suspend a good account in EVE with 5 years in playtime and point out the billing issue since I started to pay years subscriptions 3 years ago started on October the 5th and today my deadline is September 19th after 3 years the chunk out 15 days in 3 years due to their billing system. Their billing system is so screw up that the year before those last 3 years I just paid 19.95 for the WHOLE year. As any other HONEST people I contacted them and told them they charged me a month base price instead the whole year for the year subscriptions I placed online and that they could charge me what was left to pay which was $111 to complete my fee for the year subscription. They told it was their fault so they wouldnt charged me the remnant.

EVE started as a great game but there so many good additions without fixing the old bugs and generating new ones plus playability is getting worst for old players. Adding the billing system issue, which by the way, they dont considered that as an issue, that make EVE lose his appeal. One thing I can not complain is about their moderators and some member from CCP since they really get fast to you answering petitions and some issue player present to them but BUGS, too much already.

Anyway, best regards,

See you around

In 2006 I was following infinity because it was a very promising game but they have one big problem, not enough people working on the project. It is not like Babylon project where they guys really pull off a complete new free game out of nothing and they finished it real fast. Infinity will take years (it is already on his 4 or 5 year develpment and I bet it will take another 5 years) As for a full complete sim there is already one for several years now where you actually enter into planet atmosphere, dock in cities and so and the is the EVOCHRON series. The latest one from VICE indeed was a piece of ART. The problem with this game is STORIES, sorryly they are not well worked even though the game is already multiplayer. As for Inifity is the guys over dont find a good team to give them a hand you for sure, as I said, will have to wait 5 years to have a complete game.

Best regards,

RG

OS: Yep, Im back

well, there are these guys who compiled the complete source code and lot of stuff of their own but when you check the amount of people who worked in the game that was huge (like 40 people) and it took them a long while to get their final stand alone release project. Maybe you know them, the ones from Babylon project which there is a final version (I think it was release september 2008 or close) of 1.8 gigabytes standalone DVD which looks and behave pretty good.

ANyway, my point is that we will indeed going to need to make a good team working on different areas to complete this project.

On another hand, the new FS2open doesnt seem to be buggy if you dont want to do your own compilation...

back to reading, I have a lot of things to check before I start doing some small simulations and practice a little bit before getting into the real deal.

Regards,

RG

Are you creating a new engine like the guys from the Babylon project or just using the open source FreeSpace 2 open???

anyway, installer seems the same but this is the last updates on the files:

FreeSpace2 open ver. 3.6.9
Launcher ver.5.5c
MediaVP ver. 3.6.8

Now if you go with the source code to create an stand alone engine that would a completly new ball game which indeed Im far behind on my skills

ok...on it...

Good then, so anything I should be reading while you put the board on?? so the engine is it freespace?? SO I could start checking since it is been a while since I mod in freespace engine.

thanks again,

RG

I want to take over the SOL war project. WHat engine would be using? freelancer, darkstar, freespace, any idea??? is there a section for this project or should I keep posting here??

thank you for the help,

sincerely,

RG

Yes indeed it is a lot of work and it is nice to hear from you OP. You have a lot of project there. I was wondering about SOl Wars as well if you could do anything with those files I sent you in C. I want to retake that project.

best regards,

RG

Anyway, I got some mails about the Mod of the year so I wanted to stop by to check how is everyone. One of the things I found interesting is that this project still alive and I wonder, even though I understand it has been really hard for just few people working on different projects at the same time, how much is done and how much is needed to get it done.

Pretty nice to talk to you again guys,

Sincerely,

RG

well guys, I almost got hang up at egosoft forum to just suggest about mutiplayer for later release of X series. People hate multiplayer there and there was a pool where multiplayer lost 46 to 78...so no multiplayer

Happy birthday m8 and really glad to see SWAT growing...

best regards,

RG

What happen to this interview????? where can I find it??

regards,

RG

Hello guys, long time no see you but Im still around. Well, I just want to drop this note here since X-universe has been death since day one on SWAT. The good news about the new X3 series is that it seems they are going to release a multiplayer patch. The game graphics are similar to X3 Reunion so it wont be a big deal to run it and the mission engine has been change big time. I think Im going to buy it and as soon I play the game I will put more info here.

So here are some good reasons to have the new X3: Terran Conflict
1.- Multiplayer (to be confirm)
2.- Modable 100%
3.- New Mission Engine
4.- Graphics (not too demanding in todays world)

Anything else I find I will post it here

best regards,

RG

Yo GUYS, Happy birthday to all of you and I hope everyone is fine and celebrating with OP whisky

I tried Infinity testing but it was pretty much on ealry beta state last year...any news what happened to this project?/

regards,

RG

Well, it is not the real Joystick feel like JumpGate, or Independence War 2: Edge of Chaor. It is more like a freelancer with a joystick and we know that doesnt work very well. I know this thread is old but since I tried the game I wanted to give my input: few words, no good enough

Niceeee....

Seriosly, anyone who want to play eve, Im there as well as Dople so give it a try....My char is Roparzh Greek (RG) which is my real name in some other language I in EVE University Corp which is a nice corp to learn everything about EVE. But who knows, we could make our own CF corp there in a near future...

..I almost forgot to ask, it would be nice to write your EVE names here so we know who to contact in game If you dont like the idea, just pm you EVE name so I can get a hold of you online

Hello guys, long time without talking to you. Well, My first impressions on EVE were written in the first thread on this forum (EVE for GANKERS) I did change my mind eventhough Im not a die hard of EVE. I ve been real busy in real life that I dont have time to play online. I have an account on EVE that just cost me $19 the first month more plus another $19 for 1 year. Well, EVE bill system made a mistake when I was buying the account for 1 year and instead of charge the whole year that would be around $14 monthly with the discount, it just charged me $19 (amount for 1 month paid) for the whole year. However I do not use a lot the account and a friend of mind over there told me that EVE got me bored because Im asocial and I didnt get any corp as regular yet. SO this is my advice to you guys about what kind of game is eve:

1.- EVE is an strategic game
2.- CHose your profession wisely and tried to develop your skills in one direction since a JACK of ALL TRADES doesnt work well in EVE. This means that if you are going to be a PVP, you have different roles in PVPs so choose your trainning skill oriented to the roles you want. If you going to be a miner just be a miner, as well if you are going to be a trader, POS, and so on. Just keep your role.
3.- EVE is one of the most expensive online games, that means that rates goes from around $14 to up $19 depending on your time subscriptions
4.- Using isk to buy TIME CARDS is not an easy task, you have to produce at least $150 million is up to $200 million monthly to buy your time card each month
5.- Patience is real important in EVE and indeed you have to be smart enough to choose your roles, pick your fights and so on

EVE is HUGE in skill trainning, Universe, ships, equipment, and commodities. Ive never saw a game that huge online plus the Economy in EVE is one of the best in the online gaming.

Anyway, I login from time to time and my account name is Roparz Greek so if you are in and see me in dont hesitate to call me.

Anyway, lately I have only 4 only games in my computer: Guild Wars (play almost never) Anachy online (almost never play) Silkroad (rarely play) and EVE (casual player) Finally, I am really waiting for JumpGate Revolution to break free cause for sure I will be heaven more active there

Best regar to you all,

RG

PS: BTW, if I see old buddies form CF in EVE for sure I will be more active and even join a corp with them (Ill be more social )

Has anyone have any news for the BETA CALLING???SInce I sent the email no news at all...maybe they're going the old way by just hiring veterans that keep playing the original JG...
