Ace Question: Plans for a Metagame?

Having played for a couple days, I have come to wonder about if there is any information concerning a metagame.  The entire game is laid out as if there is supposed to be some overarching map with the galaxy and thousands of sectors burning in the flames of combat.  So…any one know anything about this?

Good question. Personally, I assumed this would be planned for launch, given how difficult it is going to be to incorporate post release.

an open universe isn’t planned yet but the devs allways did listen to the wishes of the community…

I would love to be able to play a quick game of craps in the hangar bay while waiting for a match to start :slight_smile:

This is not accurate.

 

A metaverse is currently in development, That is all i can say, as it is understand NDA (none disclosure agreement)

it is not accurate due it is outdated…but my second statement allows variation in it is meaning…

 

the faq says there is no pve - there is pve (scenarios)

 

the devs once said you are only allowed to take one frigate, one interceptor and one attack ship into battle - you can take up to 4 frigs or inters or attack ships…

 

which leads to the conclusion there might be a “metaverse” though i doubt we will see it anytime soon (not until t5 is released and balancing issues are gone…that would be my earliest guess)

That depends wholly on how they have divided up their labor and resources.  There are most likely several teams.  One working on bugs, one working on ships, one working on balance, art working on other things…etc.  It could be that there is a team working on a metavers that is unattached to the other teams.  Ahhh the wonders of diversification…nothing is ever a single strait line.

_ 20. Can players acuire enemy territories? _

The backstory of the game sets limits to what humanity can do in the galaxy. In a word since the space is naturally unstable players will not be ably to capture enemy territories once and for all though it will be possible to obtain domination in certain zones. It also should be possible to secure captured territories with turrets or automated stations, but these are still to be designed.

 

_ 21. Is there a global map? _

Not in the day one. We just haven’t defined its final view yet but this doesn’t mean that the map won’t appear some day.

What I expected from Eve is in this game. Eve is a relaxing game (to me) though, all that music in the background, and the feel of the universe… the vastness of it. Hopefully, they’ll do something and catch a glimpse of that “vast feeling”. Even something like Freelancer would suffice.
