Quote:I kinda misphrased that, I mean a ship that is a couple upgrades up and can actually do something besides fly around and do nothing.

Also I think that the first ship is actually a shuttle...

Well, changing your ship class won't take long, while mastering this class + modules/weaponry - will.

What can be said about EvE: It's not right to compare it with FL since it's more RTS-like than simulator. Game is very hard-to-learn, requires much of your time, as was said above. You'd need to buy 1-2 months before you can start playing it for free. Some manage to buy PLEX during trial, though. And yes, you don't need much time to master Frigates, they are the smallest craft but very agile (especially Minmathar ones), bunch of them can burn things fast. Choosing your class more depends on your tastes, I'd say.
The interesting thing is that EvE was released few months later after FL. Due to great devteam it keeps being the most interesting MMO around, if you've ever played it, you'd understand me.
Reading about it's history and local features will make you interested, I'm sure.

What do you mean by play for free?

Do you mean like selling in game currency for cash to pay for the sub?

I've never played an online game other than Freelancer so I don't know about these things...

Are you even allowed to do that? Won't you get banned for it or something?

If you get rich enough in the game (like my brother) you can basically use in-game money to buy another month to play....so you can play for free if you are rich in the game Tongue

kthnxbai


the first five minutes of my trial i spent it wildly zooming in and out, thinking that i was actually travelling. lolnope. Eve's ship controls are annoying, and its basically wow in space. freelancer is twitch-based, but eve is click-click-click.

for those of us who remember elite, freelancer is like a margarita pizza:

its basic, with cheese and tomato. However many 'toppings' eve has they have forgotten to give the pizza base, so you essentially have soup. that's fine if you like soup and have no teeth anymore, but if you wanted pizza you will find eve unfulfilling

I believe there is a free two-week trial you can get for EVE. That should be just enough to expose you to the game's simplest mechanics.

PS. Don't skip any of the tutorials.

There was a sig here, once.

that's official folks - its gonna take more than two weeks before 87 is finished. a leading developer of the disco mod said earlier today "don't skip any of the eve tutorials".

It's not official unless it's in Developer golden-yellow.
