    nothing like mechwarrior at all.  its just a very sandboxy MMO set in space, thats all.

    Everything creates huge amounts of negativity on the internet, that's what the internet is for: Negativity, porn and lolcats.

    Ok is it skill based though with attacks or just watch your forces attack on thier own?

    you target something, and activate weapons/other mods.  its the same as other MMOs where you target someone and activate a skill.  If you've ever played an MMO before, its like that... but in space.

    In pvp it can be very much like mechwarrior pvp, it all starts with your ship and its load out and then it comes down to teamwork and having a plan with some finer points of ship management and control along with situational awareness. Its very much like playing RTS games just ignore the people who claim its just pushing buttons and watch what happens as they most likely fail at EVE pvp.

    Currently playing:

    EVE online (Ruining low sec one hotdrop at a time)

    Gravity Rush,
    Dishonoured: The Knife of Dunwall.

    (Waiting for) Metro: Last Light,

    Erm except that in MechWarrior terrain affects your defense/offense/accuracy/etc. In EVE nothing affects combat other than slamming into something by accident when trying to go fast. You can't dodge behind something to avoid enemy fire like you can in mechwarrior, etc.

    If EVE actually had collision detection on asteroids, stations, ships, etc (for purposes of weapons fire, which it doesn't) it would be much more interesting.
