In my oppinion main thing missing from EVE to make it true sandbox miracle great for PVP and PVE players alike.

Well E:D is still all talk and no show.

Star Citizen a bit less so.

But the fact is both games are still far, far away from becoming reality.

Good old ELITE is the mother of space sim nerdgasm. Can´t wait for this new game to happen, it will be epic. Braben always was a visionary, similiar to Chris Roberts.

What a shame how the industry has treated and ignored people like them.

You must be young, right?

No OP, EVE should be like EVE. This game (if it ever comes out) should be like Elite Dangerous.

Some of us actually like a range of different games.

Agreed.

Yes the main thing missing from EVE is the way another game did something.

After all, we saw how well that worked with SWG.

Also agreed. Besides, Eve already has a lot of these mechanics such as constructing space stations, having orders for parts, systems being taken over, etc (Nullsec sovereignty). When he talks about "the missions being available at that time of the famine/war will be representative of the situation"...Eve has that. It's just that the players make their own missions. Nullsec corp commanders are always planning out missions/schedules for their corp mates. Resource shortages, blockades, blockade runners (there's even a ship class specifically called that, personal favorite is the Viator)...

Eve can (and should) stay exactly as it is. From the sounds of it Elite Dangerous won't really have anything that Eve doesn't, except perhaps changes to what PvE mission agents give depending on the situation.

People that allready like and play EVE dont think nothing should be added.

Granted , that is fine.

But what about many others that tried and found EVE missing the other part - AI computer controlled part ?

Granted EVE should not be like ELITE (Although for your information EVE was based on ELITE)

When infact EVE could be much more - It could have what EVE has and than also what ELITE has.

Yes , you could have that burger and fries too ... and milkshake.

But you guys are like : Let burger be burger , and let other resturant serve milkshakes.

I see it simple as this : Game better -> more players playing = everyone profits

The whole point of EVE is that it is based around player interaction.

/this

Allthough there's ways to play it as a singleplayer, there's no point in doing it. And sorry to say, but E:D looks more like a singleplayer with added multiplayer.

Listen to what he says. Its both a singleplayer game and an MMO.

How they will ever balance that even close to well, is way beyond me. But hey, he is a clever guy.

I have fond memories of Elite and especially Frontier, but I must admit that the thing that sold EVE to me was that I did not actaully have to FLY my spaceship, just give it orders. Any Elite successor will be direct fly control I am sure, and thus just not my cup of tea.

I can see the charm though in the idea of a dynamicly changeing universe, but it need to be secured agaist you GoonSwarm type thugs and exploiters, or you will have hell on your hands.

Agree with Malcanis, and if we're using food analogies, when dining in a restaurant, you're better off ordering from their strengths.  There's a reason why McDonalds doesn't offer Chinese food, just look what happened when they tried to introduce barbacue. (McRib, yuck)

Trying to change successful MMORPG's to be all things to all people has pretty much ended badly in almost every case, focusing on its strengths is what has kept EVE so viable for so long when most every other MMORPG out there has crashed and burned.
