In another major case of corporate espionage, embezzlement, and political deceit, an EVE Online player has stolen $13,110 dollars worth of in-game corporate assets.

I wish I could get into this game.. That learning curve though... Too much for me to want to spend the time... Star Citizen will likely be the game I go to since most people will be brand new as well.

My concern with Star Citizen (which I have backed) is that it seems clearly Pay to Win to a certain extent, with the additional ships they've been selling. So some people will get a huge jump start.

Also, I assume there will be a beta access, and if it follows Elite Dangerous, they won't do a final wipe before launch.

On topic: I played EVE for about 2 years. It is awesome, but the reputation for being a 'Spreadsheet simulator' is not far wrong. I love these stories about corporate espionage.

why not elite dangerous? i suppose it isnt money based enough, and you can't transfer credits between players

Star Citizen will absolutely be more accessible from a player standpoint. It's just a simpler game, by design. I love EVE to death, but that is literally a spreadsheet simulator. :P

Exactly the same for me ,the learning curve with EVE blew me off and now with Star citizen it feels like a new slate for everyone including me ,so we all have a chance from scratch

Wish i had the money to buy the mining ship Orion though :(

Fair play to that dude and cunning and well executed plan ,bet alot of mountain Dew was drank lol

It was a pretty damn good choice when the devs decided to let these kinds of things happen in the universe and go unpunished. There are some pretty cool stories about events that have happened in EVE.

thats intense, hope the space police dont catch him

All's fair in love and EVE. As long as you're in nullsec. ;)
