Depending on how eves mobile game turns out I definitely might jump ship (hyuk). Eve is incredible for what it is and I love it. Not to mention the despair of knowing you'll NEVER catch up with veteran players. There's alot of people who love space games but are understandably intimidated by the learning curve of eve. This game is just proving that there's a marketshare for a less hardcore eve. But the more I play it its becoming clear it's like comparing apples and oranges. The game absolutely shamlessly (lazily imo) borrows alot from eve. There's also no insurance so those deaths absolutely hurt. Not sure where you're getting your information from. I feel like I'm the only one who is disappointed that the EVE engine has been ripped out from under CCP by BlueHole and zlongame, when clearly CCP should have been allowed to port EVE to mobile, instead of some random sketchy corp. I have not seen any news or posts that say SG uses EVE engine. I have seen people claim recently that SG is nothing like EVE, and also that SG painstakingly duplicated the EVE experience. Clearly not true, when I see "Old Man Star" on the map. ![]() In fact, zlongame is pretending they developed the tech for the game. ![]() I assume the engine was given/sold to zlongame, their subsidiary? No info is available on that. They were acquired by what is now BlueHole. But CCP is one of those cool niche developers. Corp mining all-nighters in Stain felt like work, so I left. I love EVE though I haven't played in years, and remember beta testing was fun. no creativity here, just copy and paste it's the same game engine. Blasters, autocannons, railguns, lasers, shield boosters, afterburners, target trackers, S M L. Four factions, each with their own ships, which you can fly only if you qualify. SG is using an old version of the EVE engine.Įven the factions are analogous: Priests in space, Scientists, Rebels, Imperial. The similarities are endless, in fact, I couldn't find what was different other than the models, skills, skins, ui, lack of char creator, quests, map, etc. I realized Second Galaxy = EVE engine with a reskin, and now I'm sad, and put-off because CCP is not mentioned at all. ![]() I looked at my noob frigate and it's "Civilian Autocannon-S" and I laughed. until I accidentally double-tapped on the starfield and my ship heading changed. I started Second Galax on iPhone last night and was hooked.
