Anybody playing? General impressions so far?
I'm still playing Eve Online at the moment, but considering switching. I had a look over the web site, and was left with the impression that it's generally still single player, but with lots of people all playing at the same time. I didn't see anything about guilds / gangs or whatever - is there a way to team up and do things like get into fights and share loot?
Is it possible to do things like mining and salvage? Manufacturing goods for sale?
How is performance in general? Does the client run okay, and is the networked aspect fine?
How big is the download?

Is it like an alternate reality type game in real time etc???
ok...so more action...i was thinking it was something like a sim city/dungeon and dragons style game.
seem like it would be fun.
does it work on mac? or is a pc thing only? (i have a macbook pro)
I'm looking at getting a new desktop, almost exclusively for gaming. For my budget I think I can get one of a good (i7 4790) CPU or a good gfx card (GTX 970) but not both.
As the resident tech head which would you go for? Or should I be more focussed on lots (16gb) of ram or silly SSD disks?
It'll be a new machine and the other CPU option is an i5 (prob 4690k). I figured that the GTX 970 counted as a step back from the cutting edge since the 980 is out and costs a fortune. The alternative graphics card would be a GTX760 probably.
I can see the difference in benchmark scores (11200 versus 7700 for CPU and 8700 versus 5000 for graphics card) but I don't really know which is likely to have the greatest impact on gaming. I suppose it's a not a simple question because there isn't really a "gaming experience" metric. Framerate/loading times/latency/prettiness all play a part.
F*ck it. I'll probably get some xmas cash from someone and spend £1200 on getting both.
Embarrassingly I can't remember my native resolution. I think it's 1680 x 1024 and I don't intend to get a new monitor. I guess your point is that if I don't have to crank out the pretties at 1920 x 1200 or beyond I can afford to skimp a bit on the gfx card. Which makes sense.
I'm looking at a pre-build - these days the saving seems minimal and at least I won't have to work out which supplier to contact if things go wrong.
