I'm really on the fence about this.

I played EO from the initial alpha test and right through for several years beyond, then I've played intermittently off and on since then.

Part of me really wants to get in on ground floor as a hardcore industrial based character so I can swim in the InterStellarKroner, but part of me realizes this is a mobile game and will be at 10% launch population after a month or two or three.

Good luck. Because you'll be competing against pubbies who will probably cram as many blue stacks emulators as they can run on their PC <insert number here> boxing.

Do we have an app for ship fitting?

I feel that's a good way to remember this stupid game.

By that, I mean for Android. And also for when I'm pooping, before this comes out.


I'm very interested in a Vexor for some reason. I love that stupid brick.

EDIT: gently caress, of course he just did a video on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7F7lyVnNSQ

Drones last beta were poo poo, after apparently being way OP in beta 1 (I didn't play that one). So I'd stay away from drones and thus Gallente stuff to start with at least.

IIRC, the starter ship doesn't even get a drone in this version, so velatorfleet fleet doctrine is ruined here. I can't remember if missiles were good or bad in the first beta; I didn't play the second.

Heads up you can pre-install the game from the play store now. Not sure about iOS (maybe in a few hours).

Its a 1.9 gig download.

Just got the notification that its up on iOS as well .

It crashed in the same manner during the latest beta, so not really hopeful I'll get to play.

I get a crash on startup on Bluestacks but successful startup on my actual phone. Stupid computers always glitching out.

Edit: actually it started on Bluestacks after like 10 crashes and sitting idle for 5 minutes.

What's up with the different factions? Do I have to choose the same faction to poopgame with my friends, or is there a gameplay difference?

The factions are mainly cosmetic beyond a 4-5 hour investment.


The factions spawn in different places in highsec space.
They have race-specific noobie ships (all are dogshit).
They have the basic skills for those noobie ships.

Pick the one you like best.

Any idea on what zone we're going to rush to set up goonspace? Whichever faction hub is the fewest gates from there is probably the best faction to pick.

Otherwise, Caldari is probably best for early missile skills and starting near the Jita hub.

If I just pick whatever faction, am I gonna be hosed trying to get to whatever goonsquad hq. I havent touched Eve in ages

Stand by in discord for this stuff.

There is a plan (tm) but we don't want to announce anything until the last possible second. or realistically probably somewhat beyond.

Just try to fight your way in game, make a character and start some stuff training. Targeting skills are a great pick for faction neutral initial training for the first few hours, with the changes to the game catching people is super not easy and every bit of sensor resolution you can get is needed for a successful tackle.

No. You will be freely able to travel wherever you want, you just might have to make a couple extra jumps to get there.

awesome. any info on phone minimum specs for this? I just bought a moto g8 power which I assume will be fine but I've been trying to find more info

I assume I'm fine for goonsquad if I'm approaching this as a phone making GBS threads game for the most part?

They decided sometime in the last week, that my phone is no longer compatible with Eve Echoes. I guess I'll be on bluestacks until I can figure out a way to convince the google play store that my phone is fine.
