To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Great news for the crew at CCP and hope EVE continues to get better and grow. I know I am looking forward to seeing Dust 514 and how they tie it all together. I think that will make the EVE universe explode 🙂

Am looking forward to playing Dust* some time soon but until they change EVE Online from the "point-and-click" gameplay I won't play it again. Even so, EVE deserves that prize for their continued efforts to make the server more stable and faster and lag free, kudos for that.

So what is this Dust 514 that you guys are looking forward to so?

Man that's still bums me out that it's point and click. What specifically does that mean, you literally point at something and click to fire and that's the combat in a nutshell?? Or is there a bit more to it than that? Either way, that's a deal breaker for me. A game like EVE should have the most nuanced and deep combat system in the space sim world, bar none.

Are there any plans to overhaul and/or change the combat system in the future???

Check this thread Shant, eve-online-f29/dust-514-coming-t431.html

EVE Online is more strategy based combat and yes more point and click that something like FL, Jumpgate Evolution, Star Trek Online, etc.. I haven't heard of any talk of changing the combat engine at all. But best thing I like about CCP is there dedication to bringing new FREE content for everyone.

What I would love to see in Dust 514 is the ability to have like assault ship with troops that can attach to the large cap ships in EVE and kill the crew from the inside and have PvP battles on the ships as well. But your small little ships have to make it past those nasty flak cannons first 🙂
