More spachips

[Fattyboy43]

I recently looked at the eve website as i was curious to see what it was about.
Whilst looking i spotted the spaceships they had to offer and couldnt help thinking mindark should release tons more spaceships like eve! As at the moment theyre is pretty much only the quad ms sleipner and privateer to travel in. Surely this would make space travel and battle epic any one with me?

Thanks fattyboy43

Spaceships*

I think it's good as it is, if MA was to release a lot of NEW spacehips the existing ones could lose a lot in value.

Better to focus efforts in doing those nice mecks! Want one today!

Mecks? + thanks for the reply and good point

Thanks fattyboy

More ships will come, but the player base is only somewhere between 4000-5000 active players, cf EVE with millions of active players LOL. Entropia universe needs more players first. Also our space is tiny compared to EVE.

4000-5000 active players, not that I question your numbers Few Scars (although a source would be nice), but frankly Im shocked....so few? Wasnt the amount of registered players around 500.000 or something? If such is the case MindArks and PP major target should be aquiring a huge influx of new participants and evaluate their retaining strategy of the existing player base. Atm there is no real need for more bigger space ships....I know a few that are very active, Kronan/Normandie/Saratoga, but I see a lot of ships around SS Caly for example that barely seem to move at all.

I think (based on data from entropia life, my things, calculation and approximation), that everyday online for EU is 4000-5000 players (per 24 hour), max 5000-7000 when starting popular events.
In EVE online - about 60000-70000 (per 24 hour), but most players in EVE have more than one account, 2 is normal, some players have 3-5 accounts. 10% from all active accounts in EVE is trial accounts. That's give us real statistics in 25000-28000 players online everyday.
EVE have another gameplay, based only on spaceship using. A Universe in EVE splitted to different systems (like Planets in EU). In EVE we have more than 7000 systems (incl. WH). How 4000 players from EU can use 7000 systems - i cant assume. Maybe EU needs some more ships, but here is ... nowhere to fly, really. And PvP in space holding back a progress.
For me is enough one Quad for CP or FOMA or service like EFA, for reaching planets. And Slepnir for Planets. If there are more fuel-efficient vehicles - it would be good!

Andy,

I do realise EVEonline is another game altogheter. Although I never played it myself I know it differs on 2 major points. It has a no RCE and as gameplay its closer to WoW (as a typical MMORPG) compared to Entropia. Ofc, any WoW player or EVE player might totally disagree with me here. I do play WoW on occasion when my PED card runs extremely low . So yes....that does attrackt a whole different audience. Thanks for the info provided!

As mentioned before by someone else, I know space in Entropia is fairly small. I just took a ride once with the Normandie to experience the warp drive. The Quad suits me perfectly fine for all spacetravel as Im not a trader or crafter so I dont need to shove stackables around. Im the mere typical explorer. As for space being lootable PvP, MA clearly stated in the past that it is done by design to give each planet a chance to built their own economies.

Still I think the playerbase is fairly small. I know Entropia is a niche, as it is a RCE with a rather steep learning curve and no *magical ring* . But increasing the playerbase would improve a lot for everyone. Both to get the planets more populated and their economies running (influx of cash, trading between players getting a boost, more incentive to improve your profession) as it also improves the social experience.

Cheers, Roni

EVE is more better than WoW. But!
Tons of scammers, spammers, suicide pilots, wars (i.e. wars to noobcorps from old partipiants and more-more "good things") and NO RCE makes this game not very nice (for me). Now i stop playing EVE (after 3 years).
Adding more vechicles to EU now, affect only they auction prices, nothing more If MA gives to all players Motherships (one in hand ) and create space for its flying, this (maybe) affect to export-import operations between a planets!
