This is simply for ballistic missiles though from what I know. This concept was also written and throughly demonstrated in Dale Brown's novels. I beleive Clancy might have messed with the idea a bit as well.

This will help to clear up things a bit. http://money.cnn.com/2004/03/24/technology...dex.htm?cnn=yes

I heard the story was really first rate. As soon as I get my new Dell in I plan on picking this game up. Gamespot says it may be the best FPS games ever. I don't think the demo really does the game justice though.

If you've ever read a Dale Brown novel you'd know that aerial mines are an idea that he has suggested for years. Dale Brown is a retired USAF pilot and he speculates that one of the "black ops" planes the USA has is what he calls the EB52 Megafortress. It's a modified B-52 with tons of toys and such and one of it's features is a rear firing aerial mine launcher. Basically it fires a rocket behind the plane which explodes into thousands of metal pellets. Good stuff.

Expansion Pack. Woo hoo! http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/03/19/news_6091798.html

No.

http://www.eve-online.com/enb/ I knew they'd do this.

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/earthbeyond/news_6091609.html [uPDATE] Electronic Arts provided some additional background on the decision. An EA spokesperson, who chose to remain anonymous, told GameSpot that the title currently has between 20,000 and 25,000 active accounts. When asked to comment on what lessons might come from the Earth & Beyond legacy, the spokesperson said, "Our most enduring lesson comes from Ultima Online, which has been going strong for eight years now. Ultima taught us that there is an audience for persistent world games. However, we may have overestimated the size of the audience for persistent-state worlds. Games based on medieval fantasy have done very well; other genres have not." The spokesperson added that monthly billing for the title will end on August 1, 2004. EA added that there are no plans to sell or license the Earth & Beyond intellectual property.

*gulps*

Wow. Very detailed Cmdr. Jonathan. I do not recall being contacted you and if I missed the E-Mail or PM I am very sorry. I will also give you my E-Mail address ([email protected]) so that you can contact me in the future. I second Ben's comments about needing to begin training. The fact that you can possible provide a server on which we can do this is a great start and would be very much appreciated. I also agree that we need to get things moving a bit faster. I think one of the main issues is that everyone is particularly busy at the moment. quote:I do have the time, money and computer to host 24/7 and lead this group;I do not think you should necessarily try to go after "leadership" so quickly though. The people in place have been there for some time and they got there because of many reasons. They have shown responsibility on the forums, have tenure (i.e. been here for awhile). I suggest that we start with the server and see where we go from there. I appreciate your posts and your attempts and I hope that we can speak in further detail soon.

ROFLMAO!

You were just in the wrong corp, Kal. :Grins: And pirating is much more difficult than that...

quote:Once I lost it, inflation had gotten so high, the premium insurance payoff couldn't cover HALF my loss, and its only getting worse.I disagree personally. The economy has REALLY stabalized from when I played right after beta. I have two accounts on EVE and at the first sign of trouble I'll get a third just to help out. I truly enjoy the game. quote:Too many megalomaniacs in that game.. Funny how people loose their morals in MMORPGs...I will absolutely agree with you on that one. There are people in EVE that do nothing but play 24/7 just so they can gank everyone else. But what games doesn't have those kinds of people? You just have to develop strategies to counter them or avoid them. EVE is so big avoiding them is not that hard to do. quote:Jumpgate incentive for Earth & Beyond refugees. Any former player of Earth & Beyond may simply send in their old copy of the game to NetDevil, and in return, they will gain access to a free, 30-day trial of Jumpgate Now that is a smart offer. If EVE doesn't do something like this I'll be disappointed because that is a damn fine way to attract new players. quote:Rubbish. I know the whole story. It was losing money and thats why S&S dropped it. Along with the fact that they also wanted to get out of the game publishing business.Not to say that I'm doubting you SC, but where did you hear/read that it was losing money? I'd be interested to read that article myself.

I think he was saying you made two threads for the same topic. Foxtrot, SC is allowed to do that....he is allow to because ehhh, basically he pays for us to post here. :grins:

1.True 2.True 3.False 4.True 5.False 6.True 7.False 8.True 9.True 10.False 11.True 12.Ehhh, your kidding me. 13.True 14.False 15.True 16.True 17.False 18.False 19.True 20.False? 21.False...god I hope false. 22.False 23.True 24.False 25.True 26.True

I'm definetly waiting for it. From the MOMENT the trailer stared I knew what it was and non of the people with me could figure out why I suddenly got quiet and focused on the screen.

Epsilon, I'm not sure how many servers there are...but if you all are only pulling 1500 a server you are in a deep crap. EVE is whooping Planetside if thats the case. We just broke the 7,500 SIMULTAENOUS players mark there. The expect to have 10,000 simulataneous players before EVE is 1 year old. And SC, I was talking to some of the folks at EVE and as it turns out S&S didn't drop EVE. CCP bought the rights back from them. Evidently CCP wanted to do it. :shrugs:

I don't think he was kidding.

At first I hated EVE. I played in beta and right after beta and hated it. I just recently started playing it again, and have found that CCP have really done a great job of bringing things together. I hope they keep it going. As for EnB...lets start the party....I hated that game...period.

I am not sure what your trying, to say.....new leadership why exactly?

I have too many weapons to list in all honesty. I collect swords and I collect guns. :-)

Right. (read: Wot?)

*screams like a little girl* It's about TIME!

ROFLMAO.

Well that is disheartening.
