Any other space based game is clearly a copycat, because space sim starts and ends with Eve.

So after reading some of the Battlestar Galactica Online forums, looking at screenshots, watching the videos and reading the site itself...I fail to see how it is a cheap copy of EvE in anyway at all? Aside from them being both space based they have nothing in common. BSGO has far inferior graphic quality, it uses a WASD control system, it is more like WoW in space...frankly it looks like crap.
Actually...it looks about as interesting as watching flies eat ****. Which doesn't surprise me since the show had pretty much the same entertainment value.
So in conclusion I do not think it is a copy of EvE at all...if you think that then any game based in space is a copy of EvE and there were many others before EvE that were based in space. I seriously doubt they look up to EvE for inspiration either. No threat to EvE at all. NO BOOBIES LEFT BEHIND! |

TL;DR: the game is in space, so it must be a copycat of EVE!

I've actually been checking this game out, so I may be able to provide some insight...
I've been "scouting" for a free space-based MMO, because within three months my EVE subscription will unfortunately run out, with no chance of reactivation in the near future. I saw this and signed up.
It's a beta, so there were naturally many bugs along the way (they just had an update today, and it fixed a lot). The combat is pretty fun, actually! The turrets don't use tracking like in EVE, but rather in order to fire the enemy ship must be within so many degrees of the bow of your ship and must be within a certain range (preferably your optimal). Missiles are similar, but unlike EVE they won't fire if the enemy is too close (which caused me to get "meh", because I like spamming missiles ). So in a way, if you're smart and orbit correctly (just like in EVE) you can get under the guns of an enemy. In PvE this is fine but even then it's difficult, so kiting/facemelt DPS ftw. The combat also feels more "realistic", I suppose, for a space-based game in that you don't have an overview to tell you the distance/speed/rad/s of a target; you're given a general radar and must figure it out for yourself. It's very easy to misjudge an enemy's position, which in the depths of space I'd imagine is quite accurate. EVE's ships are more user friendly, you could say.
One of the things about BsGO is that it's very grindish...even more so than running L4s in hisec. Your ship needs fuel ("tlyium") in order to jump from system to system and to use afterburners, so you'll find yourself mining quite a bit to get it. Oh, and while on the subject of mining, unlike EVE (where every asteroid is neatly labeled and you know it will contain whatever minerals you need), you need to scan each asteroid to see if it even has resources at all (and most asteroids, don't). So mining is not an AFK activity, but a grinding activity. Luckily once you venture into more dangerous areas of space it gets more interesting, but then...so does EVE.
BsGO features a passive training system, similarly to EVE. Unlike EVE though, you actually need to grind for XP points which you then invest into training a skill up. The bonuses are invariably a pathetic 1% per level, but then I do believe you can train the skills to up to 10, or something. Not sure.
One of the things that is in VERY stark contrast to EVE is how long it takes to get a new ship. Be prepared to stay in the same ship for quite awhile, unless you're willing to shell out real-life money for Cubits (in-game currency). But then, if you're going to spend real money on an MMO, why not make it EVE?
So tl;dr, there's similarities to EVE but in some ways it's quite a bit different. If you have money to spend on an MMO, play EVE. If you're a college student who's just ran out of money for EVE (such as myself), you may find BsGO a satisfying substitute until you can get back to EVE.

Some of us played the BBC version of Elite and not the C64 rip-off.

It's by no means ground breaking but it's also not an EVE clone.
It's good for passing the time while mining.
