Trek MMO like Eve-Online

[Borg451]

This is a thread for people who know what Eve-Online is like.

would you like to see STO similar to Eve?

perhaps parts of Eve would work well or not?

what do you think?

I think EVE's passive skill system would work well in STO.

I've seen a lot of fans that are worried that they'll have to accept orders from some twelve year old loser because he has more "skillz" than them. Skills he achieved by playing 24/7. EVE's system helps even the playing field between casual players and the obsessive losers with no life.

Another thing I like in EVE is that you can change professions without giving up your current skills. You can start out as a fighter, try out mining and industry for a while, then when you get bored with it, grab your fighting ship and gear and pick up right where you left off.

The same should be true of STO. Your character should be able to transfer from security to command without forgetting how to fire a phaser.

Asides from EVE, I played City of Heroes/Villains, Star Wars Galaxies and Earth and Beyond.

In E&B and COH/V, changing your profession (or class in COH/V) was impossible. The one you picked at the character creation screen was the one you were stuck with.

In SWG (when I played it anyway) all players had a certain number of skill points to spend on levels in their profession. If you spent all of your skill points and wanted to try a different profession, you either made an alt character or you had to give up levels in your old profession to free up skill points to use on the new one.

In my experience, EVE's approach is unique. What other MMO's use it?

i dont think any do...

also i dont know of any 12yo in eve.. i guess it is a serious game and not for kids..

i hope STO is like that... tho if it wasnt,, why would we have to follow a 12yo if thy had more skills?
