The video below is a video of two corps that waged war for 2 years! Just watch the video and it explains all! Such an amazing story and the guy did an amazing editing job with the video! 

This type of depth in a game is why I play eve! Truely worth the watch!

yes, EvE without all the spread sheets actually looks pretty cool.....to bad you need all the spread sheets to play it.

I've actually never used excel to play EvE, what are these spreadsheets people keep talking about?

I never understood what people mean when they say you need spreadsheets... as in literally spreadsheets or simply the UI? I never used spreadsheets for sure.

There are gamers out there who actually enjoy more complicated games and min/max strategizing.

 both.

most of the UI looks like a spreadsheet, and if you really want to get seriously into EvE you need your own spreadsheets to keep strack of all your enterprises, as well as projections of future enterprises.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Watching, reading, or thinking about EVE is far more entertaining than playing EVE. I love this stuff, but trying to play that game is like pulling teeth, just sooo boring.

What if all you do is pew pew?

The UI has a lot of information to display, I don't think it looks anything like a spreadsheet.

The only time you need spreadsheets for Eve is if you're an industrialist or trader.  Combat pilots have no use for them.

Anyway, I don't see why you make it sound like that's a bad thing.  It's nice to have a game that requires planning and more than 4 brain cells to play.

I've fought against Rooks and Kings on a couple occasions, very good pilots.

Nice troll attempt bro.

eve = very borrring combat.

Amazing piece of work the word epic does not justify what you guys did.

Eve will always have that special place inside me, no other mmo's comes this close to reality and the people leading fleets could easley do this in real life warfare and be on par with some of the best war generals.

I feel like i am missing alot, but what made me quit Eve was the skill training system and the long road of pain you had to endure to be on par with players with years of skill training.

Still Eve will always be that special mmo that no other mmo's come close to.

+10 from an old battlecruiser pilot :)

This "I can't understand this game, so I'm gonna bash it" is getting old and it's plain stupid.

Did you even watch the video? What are you expecting, some button mashing extravaganza a-la Devil May Cry or God of War? Do you have any idea how tense things can get in that kind of fighting when you're trying to out-think and out-fight an intelligent opponent that isn't some brainless computer entity?

Actually that's exactly what they're expecting.  You're trying to explain chess to the checkers crowd.

I find Eve combat a bit like Star Trek combat.

You just see the captain sitting in his chair giving orders and some other guys push buttons.

And ALWAYS a trick or good use of information wins the battle, not twitch skills.

I only played Eve for 1 week, to boring for me, but I HIGHLY respect the game and it's developers. It's a world and endless game. They are in it for the long haul. They don't release EVE 2 they just give it a new graphics engine.

Didn't watch the video by the way; to boring, haha.
