Wonder if they'll do an "Air 654" spinoff for consoles? |

Well we all seem to love the idea that someone has actually decided to clone Eve instead of something else for a change, but we also hate them at the same time.
Now to heck with all the lawyers and angry cease and desist letters. I say CCP needs to hire the kids that are making this game, trash the current DUST514, and make a new one based on mechs.
Now THAT I'd be willing to play. |

Hmm judging by the responses in here we can safely assume that most of the eve players are ripoffs of one another... or you haven't played any other mmo out there.
To say that WoW has clones when there were mmo's pior to WoW with concepts that WoW took in.. or better riped off from other games stories and concepts... lol
Just because EvE has mining and capacitors and cpu usage tracking and this kind of details does it mean that Perpetuum is a clone? Perhaps if you looked at Mechwarrior were tracking speeds, angles of fire, etc etc.. oh wait ripoff! Perpetuum is a ripoff of Mechawarrior.. oh wait that makes EvE a ripoff... oh wait.. 
You people are really.. ugh.
Kudos to this guys for bringing something to the market, it isn't exactly new and revolutionary but damn better than what the majority has present the gaming comunities with.
We;re not talking about the statistics (Though if you look at it, almost everything is the same in the fitting screen stat wise). "HIghslots, lowslots midslots" the Layout of the UI, minus the sidebar now being a topbar in Perpetuum, The market UI, Hangar UIs... The Chat... The showinfo window...
Linkie
also note the placeholders for the "Slots". Eight of Each...
They copied the interface, and some of the features of EvE, well patiente, most of the MMO genre copied from several game interfaces like from Diablo for instance. Seriously i don't see anything wrong with this game. |

Someone needs to head over to their forums and start stirring up the hornets nest with accusations of copying from Eve  |

Not sure how well it will do as one thing CCP has always done is upgrade upgrade upgrade. Well see... On another note if they ripped this off from CCP their country wont stand for it.... Quote:
21. Private property: 4.0
Private property is well protected by the Hungarian Constitution and a number of laws that have been made to secure one`s property. In Hungary, only a lawyer can write a contract of sale and it has to be signed in front of a lawyer or a public notary. It also has to be authenticated by a public notary. Material as well as intellectual property rights can easily be protected.
The Hungarian Constitution does not make comment on the power of copyright, but Hungary has signed all the international treaties for protection of intellectual properties and copyrights, and by this has adopted the international copyright laws. This shows that even though Hungary doesn`t have copyright laws in its constitution, it excepts and respects the idea of intellectual copyright.

The Bold/Italic/Underline is not a typo, it actually reads that way in the email. The thing that bugs me is that apparently, there is no account name, it's linked directly to my email address. Perhaps this is just a beta thing, but don't think I've ever had a game that didn't create a specific user name for the account (I beta'd for Fallen Earth, and still had to create a user name). Anyone else gotten "approval" and gotten into the game, or still waiting for the files to test clean on virus scan? Edit: Originally by: RedClaws

Yeah, I was thinking that myself. The only reason I don't flat out call it a scam is due to the sheer amount of work that has been done if it false. Videos, Screenshots, working website, etc. Of course, still wouldn't put it past the Goons . . . |

Well to be fair you have to make a character in eve before you can use the forums past browsing and ccp messes up the spelling on all sorts of emails and ingame descriptions. Must be something about english not being a primary language for non english speaking developers.  But yeah I'm waiting on the files to test clean before I take up the offer as I got my pass for the beta over the weekend too. |

Edited by: Zeba on 03/11/2009 00:29:23I'm in right now and just as I suspected its reaaaaaaly basic atm. No real gameplay past killing drones to sell loot to npc buy orders so you can get stuff. Mining is an option but the only way to get nic(isk) to buy the stuff you need is to go out on the killing fields and kill rogue robots. Production is in the game though so if you do manage to get enough nic to get started mining you can do something with the ore. Devs are pretty cool to talk to in chat and seem a bit overwhelmed though at the sudden influx of testers. Now when we egged them on to talk about some future content they said missions are being worked on now with a basic set coming soon(tm). Also a 'sov/infrastructure' system for the non noob conquerable territorys is being think tanked that based off what was mentioned in the chat is remarkably similar to what is coming in Dominion but they already know that it seems as they compare things to eve a lot when people ask certain questions. So yeah they know they are cherry picking eve and other games for the future game mechanics of perpetuum but they don't seem to care. |

Ok so here is what I've got so far.
there are 4 weapon types.
Cannons- weak dmg, low range, miss a lot (hi sig radius) no cap use.
Magnetic guns?- medium damage, long range, slower tracking
Lasers- Medium damage, medium range, fast tracking
Missles-Good? damage, medium range, no cap?
So it seems like at the moment missles are over powered :P
Now a dev stated that in this game cannons are not meant as a main weapon for any ship, they are an add-on gun that takes little grid and cpu, and is considered weak. but it's good for big tanks, and that little extra damage.
There are two types of tanking.
Armor tanking- same as in eve
Shield tanking- Every hit you take instead of hitting your armor hp instead hits your cap. So you lose energy instead of taking damage. This leaks and has limits and such if I understand correctly, actually seems pretty interesting!
Movement is pretty slow, they should get some transforming action into the game :P
Now what else I know is all skills go up to level 10. You gain sp over time and then spend it where you wish. No need to buy skill books on the market, they are always available for purchase even while not into station, they are just in your skills list as unlearned skills. it stats the price in isk and the sp needed, and you just learn it. heh, ccp that's a good idea.
There are no learning skills they put that into the character creator.
attributes seem to determine the cost of skills.
The movement type is wasd, the firing however is NOT manual. Youn target and fire like in eve, but then you have to manualy pilot to keep the transversal down while staying in range. It's actully a lot of fun to try to go the same speed as the drones so you can land every hit.
BPOs and BPCs are shown as separate objects. This is apparently done by not letting you build with BPOs. The BPOs can be loaded to always give out more and more BPCs or they can be researched. Every players gets his own factory and lab to do jobs in. None of that stupid high sec build**** of having to wait for other players. Once player made stations are put in they will have better factories up to 40-50% better. they have skills to increase the number of personal factory slots. all in all pretty cool, myabe eve should follow this example. ?
I got the name buckrogers suckers :P I hope to see more good old scifi names to follow. daniel jackson?
Oh one last thing, when you miss, you miss graphically. Seriously ccp? you can't do this yet but this 12 man team can? seriously?

Has it a LOS system. Line of sight ...

at last hows the lag so far?
