[EVE] Caldari and Minmatar cockpits

[Windzarko]

Kersh found this via a link on the EVE forums and I thought it was hilarious and decided to share it:

Also, an ensuing conversation after posting this may well lead to Kershan gutting a keyboard to mod a Boppit to be a Caldari controller...

Minmatar "ejector seat controls" aka "so it turns out the duct tape won't hold" button.

 

[magosreborn]

lol, there seems to be a distinctive lack of duct tape in the minm cockpit , also isn't the "Over heat all button" a fire axe ?

 

[Windzarko]

also isn't the "Over heat all button" a fire axe ?

Oh yes

And I love how many of the hull breach lights are lit

 

[Ronin Storm]

I love the Caldari panel. It's totally what we do.

 

[magosreborn]

And I love how many of the hull breach lights are lit

Give the panel a shift kick and they should go out, nothing to worry about. honest .

Saving up for my Mael atm, that is slightly better built than the other minm ships as it looks like a ship and not a flying construction site

 

[waterproofbob]

That is a lot of tech for what is essentially a flying scaf rig with a sail.

Love it.

I wish sometimes that you could control EVE a little bit more like Freelancer; then I could see if I could do some other crazy control setup for it.

Like on WoW once, I managed to play one of my characters using an arcade stick setup that Kersh brought round (it only works for one or two characters I have, the rest need more than the 8-9 buttons Kersh's thing had).

Imagine just needing a joystick and a few buttons for pitched fleet battles, especially if you're in something nippy like a AF or interceptor...

mmh yeah Jumpgate should be well up to that task, i'm hoping codemasters have a newer build at i37 that i can take a more in-depth look at

 

[thatbloke]

yea at i36 it was there, certainly seemed like it coul dbe a fun game.

Certainly had the massive amounts of numbers that would please the theorycrafters, and also the run n gun shooty shooty stuff was (kind of) there....

 

[Windzarko]

I heard someone talking about Jumpgate before... and mentioning that they got the graphical effects to "look so good and feel so right that it induced motion sickness in most people"; that story got a grain of truth to it?

 

[thatbloke]

dunno i didnt try it for long

Will get more of a play with it at i37 assuming codemasters are there

 

[PsiSoldier]

graphical effects to "look so good and feel so right that it induced motion sickness in most people"

I won't be able to play it then, on this old PC

 

[Iron_fist]

i had a peak at the machines it was running on, they were Q6600 with 2GB ram and the 368MB 8800GS so by no stretch of the imagination fast by todays standards and it was sitting pretty mucn v-sync with no tearing

 

[Windzarko]

Games looking really good doesn't always need an uber-computer to work it; depends on your definition of good-looking

I think EVE looks damned pretty on my rig, and I've got everything down quite low (and the sound off) to avoid lagging to my death in a mission; last thing I need when speed-tanking in an AF is to get lagged out while issuing movement orders, or lagging so much that I fail to notice that I've been webbed (both of which would prove fatal, and the former of which cost me my first Jag)

 

[Tetsuo_Shima]

they were Q6600 ... by no stretch of the imagination fast by todays standards

Hey, you! I've got a Q6600 in my machine, and it is rapido.

Not as rapido as my ultra awesome Pentium 4!

 

[Tetsuo_Shima]

Ah! You've got me licked, there.

I still have that old P3 768megahurtz processor in my cupboard ...

Maybe you do, but you don't use it in your main PC now do you.
