Yeah it does take ages,

I have a 60mil sp cahr one ve, and it took me tiem since 2004 to reach that.

I mainly specialise, to the ships i fly i do the max damage for them.

other pilots with 40msp for isntance can fly all that i fly with lvl 4 to all, meaning he ll be 5 to 20% less effective in certain areas, up to 50% on some

so if you assume taht experience will make you elite in eve, well, you would be right by 20%

the other 80% that is is msot important aspect of that game is, cleverness wich counts to a good 20-40%

and the rest is TIME, wich earns you skills. Also money thru trade, industry, or even pirating (pvp) in general

EVE takes time, Its good when you paly it for a year kind of part time, doing the basic skills.

But after that youd better find ur self a nice big 0.0 corp to enjoy lots of fun fleet battles, ITs pretty complex enogh to make each battle feel different fromt he other, Unlike freelancer experience, EVE envolves lots of planning before a fight, or during.

If you re an alliance or corp leader, or an FC, you will feel like you are playing Total war in sapce, or Empire earth using real people, and moving them about aroudn the map.

ITs that fun. sorta, but all will get boring. EVE took ages to get boring for me, especially with the shit laods of POS warfare that has been going on.

So ATM i jsut look forward to infinity more than any game out there, I want to feel that iam really in space, cause i doubt my generation will catch on the space age in time to be of any use

If you want a bad ass guild master who would shoot u if u f with him, get an ugly one.

If you want a guild master who will make u mine fo rhim, and be a total emo, get a fat one or a know it all hippy.

Avoid people whoa re military, They re the worst kind.

I d go more of dev guys, or fps junkies, or even nerds get my vote.

I my self never like to rule a guild, simpyl too much  work  to be loved/hated  by all.

Space toons is fine, as long at its done 5 years after the game is released, like eve online. cause they decided its time to attract thsoe 5% of players who love to dress up.

frankly i think the devalopment time VS how many people want toons in the game, will simply not add up in favour. I rather have space moneys.

What i know

I played EVE online for 4 years, its been a roller coster ride, watching the game advance and at the same time kill it self, to my opinion only. I ve been in mining corp in old days, but didnt last a week. PVP was the way and been in pvp/piracy with most small known entities and its best alliance. But it sad to say that eve has got to go, because frankly there is not much elitism left.

All the noobs can get into a vaga and solo, if there is a palce left to solo. the overcrowding is what has really driven me off eve.

About infinity:

IT represents everything i ever dreamed of from a space game, Twich play, Infinity basiclly. I know i can set course this way, and i ll be going this way forever knowing that its not pointless like  you do in eve.

Try and fly towards a star in eve, Its just a background.

What i want:

I want the big ships to be slow, Nanophoon anyone? BS are huge, and are meant to turn slow, fighter are fast and therefor, go fast.

I hope that they dont ruin the game with cheap bombers that can chew on a BS class ship within seconds.

I plan on making it my full time game, of my gaming time when its out, So please don't make it hard to find something to do: e.i: searching hours for an agent to do missions./

Make pirating hard, and if you re a pirate you simply cant work for a lawful faction/corporation.

Industry, ship building, should be reasonably slow. Not tooooooooooooo slow, and not a 1 day job either to build a fraking bs.

The ability to put some of the turrets, ei rear turret on ai control, ala x3, to be able to set it up for any deffense system and such.
