Any of you play EVE Online? I've been thinking, should we try to raid the space after FOnline dies down? This game has heavy PVP system, player run economy and you can do pretty much anything you like. My cousin has been playing EVE Online for a few years now and could give some tips on how to get started there, and to my knowledge, you can actually pay the gametime with in-game money. He's been playing in a corporation(clan) that does a lot of PVP and they often take down bigger enemies with a bunch of smaller ships, using their superior speed to their advantage and says it's loads of fun.
What do you guys think?
There are discounts for EVE online every few months, so you can get the game +30 days gametime for something like 5€.
ELITE: DANGEROUS could also be fun for some quick raids every now and then on the online servers.

Just called my cousin and asked about EVE Online, he said that he can use the buddy-invite system to get 30 days of trial for the game. Also, if you buy the game during that 30 day period, he'll get a PLEX(in-game item for getting 30 days of gametime) and he said that he'll happily give those back to the players. One is worth 1.1 billion, so that would buy a shitload of your basic attack ships.

I've known a lot of EVE online players- including my brother, my only concern is the age of the game, and my understanding that it was dying out?
Granted, I'm certain it has a bigger player base than FOnline, but if/when the time to move comes, I'd rather we jumped in on the ground, than showed up at the dying reaches of a game where everyone says "Who did you play with? - Never heard of em!"
It's worth considering, Meng previously showed some interest
All of us officers will need to review this sometime shortly.

EVE does have something like 20k players. But it would seem like they are slowly loosing the players.
