![]() It is indeed one of the things I like most about this game along with a blank slate.Įarning ISK is a matter of doing Encounters, which is easy enough, simply select an activity you wish to do (combat, transport, investigation, mining) and then click the mission you want to do and warp yourself there. ![]() ![]() For myself, the core experience for what defines Echoes for me is the streamlining of the EVE universe in particular, the UI feels very clean with a pop out overlay that has everything organized neatly along with a navigation panel which already comes with filters that allow me to select what I need before minimizing it again allowing me to enjoy the beautiful scenery of that which is New Eden. Should you wish to get more SP points faster, you can opt for the Omega standard or Omega Combo. If you’re only an alpha you will be restricted to tier 7, which is pretty reasonable as it gives you access to most of the game, though getting the basic Omega only costs 4.99 USD per month. Train enough of these and you will level up, which in turn will give you access to a new tier of ships. In a game like Echoes where social experience is paramount, the developers had the great idea of making one of the tutorial missions of joining a corporation in exchange for SP points, which in turn let you train skills. This is especially helpful, particularly in the beginning days, when the market was considerably under developed and a basic frigate could cost millions though it is much more stable now. sell X amount of ISK on the market place) which in turn furbish you with more rewards such as ships and further give newer players goals to accomplish as they acclimate themselves to the game. Given the complexity of that which is Echoes, the developers added another layer of Advanced tutorials which give you multiple objectives within them (e.g. The basic tutorial gets you familiar with all the things you would expect: how to control your camera, fly your ship, use the UI, and how to start earning money for yourself. Unfortunately, your efforts are fraught and your ship is destroyed before waking up in a new clone, but at least according to your shipboard AI you have some PLEX in hand before blasting off to your new adventure. During this sequence, the player gets an opportunity to interact with the story, if in a limited fashion, but still helps give an introduction to the world of New Eden. The first thing that hit me upon creating my character was the opening sequence which has a pilot rescuing a ship that is coming under attack, throwing the player into the action right away. I do hope in the future the game allows you to customize your character’s looks rather than selecting a pre-designed portrait. Character creation is rather simplistic at this point: upon selecting one of the four factions (Gallente, Caldari, Amarr, Minmatar) you select a portrait from one of the bloodlines (your character’s race essentially). Launch day was handled quite impressively with many in the community expecting the server to go down, but its clear the developers at Netease did a good job of preparing for a game that had a lot of hype with over 5 million people pre-registered. Typing is a bit of a pain, but once you get the hang of it it’s bearable. ![]() I suspect that has to do with my hardware rather than the game itself. Overall, it doesn’t feel like much of a difference from playing a regular PC game, though performance could be a bit better. I found it to be the smoothest in performance and a very short boot time compared to Bluestacks or NOX. It should be noted that in writing this review, my experience of Echoes comes from playing it on MuMu, Netease’s official emulator. Eve Echoes has been out for close to two months and so far I am finding myself thoroughly enjoying a fresh universe which is begging for new stories to be told. ![]()
