My suggestion of a different subscription was not aimed at charging full players of EVE as they are at the moment another fee to allow them to pilot fighters, but to charge a smaller fee to those player who only want to pilot fighters. Full subscribers (current players of EVE) would be able to do this as part of their subscription.

Meh. I think that would be cool, but definitely not a different subscription or something. First, joystick-esque flying would have to be implemented. Then, make Fighters a class of ship that is pilotable. Next, allow fighters to be able to dock in motherships and carriers. If there aren’t enough pilots, then make them CPU controlled like they currently are!

Interesting idea though I’m not sure the actual dynamics of the game could take a twitch-base combat approach. Maybe not in EVE per se, but maybe, just maybe in some future EVE-based FPS dogfighting combat game. Ooh, I can picture it on my 360!

I like the idea. One of the things that the dev’s had talked about in years past was being able to pilot one of the fighters launched from a carrier. They never went with that concept.

This is something that I can see adding complexity to the game, many people may not like this as EVE is already rather complex, but I think people would grow to enjoy it.

While the idea of human-piloted fighters is interesting and I do love good old fashion joystick-based space games, I’m not sure that mixing this into Eve is a great idea. We spend a lot of time mastering the point and click interface we have. A new layer of complexity and hardware requirements doesn’t really bring much in my opinion. Being able to pilot them like any other ship in game might well be good, though. You can still perform evasive manoeuvres and switch targets just like a normal ship. Definitely something very different to many of the other blog banter posts.
