Okay so this is going to be dedicated just to see who is playing and what we can do if we choose to play.
So something I propose is we be mercenaries just so we can partake in the economy but still focus on the combat.
Just a note:
From the old channels I have talked to from some EVE friends this is going to be an upgraded version of EVE in terms of political and economic game play along with actual combat that holds interest.
Personally, knowing how EVE works we would have to be tight on recruitment from SC but this is still all speculation.
I think we can be successful doing working as mercenaries but that's up to vote.
If any speculation that has come up in the discussions about this game is even remotely close to what it sounds like, we may need to be restrictive to some degree with recruitment.
Overall who has this game on pre-order and what can you bring to the table.
I'm currently in and I have the current $65 dollar deal. I forget the ship.
Give some suggestions on what we could do.

Sorry to kill the thunder but the game won't come out for a couple more years. Although I was hoping that we'd be a faction with a fleet and such and not a rag tag merc group.

I played EVE for about 2 months before I quit due to realizing I wasn't having actually any fun. So I am familiar with EVE enough with the corps, combat, economy, etc. Just not a master of it.
I haven't bought a package but I will be once I come back Pennsic since all my money is going there.
I am up for the merc idea though its a somewhat hard one to do on EVE since its centered around player interaction and reputation.

Having played EVE for years off and on, I have been a part of a number of major corporate and alliance wars that have been balanced shifted solely on the inclusion well paid, highly coordinated Mercenary Corporations. You don't know terror until 20+ gray carriers and sundry escorts hot drop on you and start flashing red.  |

I know this game is far out there but it still does not hurt to know who has it. Plus every platoon starts with a squad, so building from the ground up is not a bad idea in this case especially if half the rumors I've been hearing on some of the EVE TS's are going to be fact or not. |

The problem with Eve is that 90% of the time it is boring and 10% of the time it is Epic. And that 10% only happens when you join a good corp that does things.
I am excited for Star Citizen but I will wait until more information comes out and something playable shows up. I put money for it just because I love the idea of someone building it.

Then again all I've herd is speculation from some old friends so. we shall see as it develops. |

If given half a chance, I will likely resort to my old favorite role in EVE, which is Electronic Warfare. I simply love locking down an enemy ship, or multiple ships, with heavy jamming and watching them get picked apart by squadronmates |

I plan for a carrier to house and maintain our fighters or some long range battleship, maybe a pure AA weapons build on my carrier.
