"Butt heads"?
Wasn't Tabula Rasa somewhat of a failure with a small-to-mediocre subscriberbase?

Damn i hope this will open a can of awesome. Maybe i'll start playing MMOs.

After I played WoW for 2 years I wished E&B was still around(aka good). I really hope this lives up to it's claims.

Who would have thought the genre would find its resurgence in the MMO space. I suppose its because traveling space by yourself is okay, but doing it and knowing that others are taking the journey with you( and you can blast them into vapor) makes it more compelling.

I couldn't agree more. I've played a healthy selection of MMO's from all over, and E&B was just pure fun. It suffered from a lack of updates and it just generally felt like EA left it hanging because it wasn't a mega-hit right out of the gate.

I need a new action fighting game and EVE was such a disappointment. Earth and beyond was also a disappointment, but I actually really got into the game and played it for over a year before quitting.

This seems to sound a little like Jumpgate and Vendetta Online. Those two don't have huge publishers funding their development though. VO especially has great potential but just doesn't have the install base to intrigue me enough.

- "ArchRivals": interesting flyiing koreangrinder
- Infinite Space or something.. I forgot the name. A HL2 mod with space combat.
- "Continuum": but this one is 2d.
- "Galactic Combat", a StarWars mod for BF1942. A rival of Desert Strike, but there was not continuation on BF2, BF42... so is dead now, I guest.

If they had done some more marketing, fixed some of the critical server issues, and actually gave a crap, E&B would probably still be going today.

I had more fun with E&B than I ever did with any other MMO. It's a shame EA had to ruin it.

And the included PDF states that their codebase is currently running on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Maybe the perfect Sci-Fi MMO? Allowing players to play on foot and in a ship is a pretty nice feature. It will let the players decide what they want to focus on.

I, for one, will rarely be seen out of my ship :D
