I do remember playing Even Online on PC many many years ago. I didn’t have time for it and it seemed quite complicated. Eve Echoes for mobile came out of beta last week. I’ve been playing for a few days now and quite impressed.

It’s a huge universe, there are many aspects to the game I haven’t even gotten around to exploring yet. I haven’t moved to a paid “Omega Clone” account, but apart from not all markets being open to me (need to be on one of the major trading hubs to trade with an “Alpha Clone” ) I haven’t felt restricted

I’ve also played many similar empire/universe/base building mobile games. Most recently Star Trek Fleet Command was ok but once you’re over level 20 it’s pretty much Pay to Win, and I dropped out after my base and all resources got plundered while I was away for a weekend.

I play it on my 10in tablet when on the go, and sometimes on BlueStacks for PC so I can partipate in my corporation’s Discord server more easily. I can play for just a little here and there, doesn’t feel like a huge time sink.

Graphics and mechanics are very nice and definitely scratches the sci-fi gaming itch.

Anyone else tried it out?

      You say asset safety, Eve developers say Garbage Collection…

      I’ll keep it in mind but the game is so new at the moment I don’t think they’re doing that in the Eve Echoes universe until there’s more garbage littered around to clean up.

      It’s quite thematically sound I’ve read a bunch of sci-fi where old station junk is the prize. I’ve only invested $5 for a month of one of my clones to be an Omega clone instead of Alpha, I quite like the free-to-play bits, and I’m even finally getting the scavenging and crafting things bit of the game instead of just PVE
