Howdy Chris. I'm about one year from graduating with a BS in computer science so jobs have been on my mind. In relation to the gaming industry, with a degree like mine, what's the difficulty involved in getting into the industry, especially with no prior game development experience? Mind you, I am experienced as a programmer, just not in relation to games. :)

If you could share your experiences, that would be great.

Awesome, thanks. I've made attempts in the past to begin my own game, but all ended in failure due to trying them in the middle of some very busy semesters! I'll make a good attempt this summer, as I should have much more free time.

Perhaps it was a Joystiq article talking about economy, I believe. I'm sorry but I can not read the forums or Joystiq to find it because I am at work and thus behind a filter.

I think this might be it: Joystiq

Howdy, I've got a question regarding jump points; Will some of them, similar to EVE, be random, as in that they can spit you out to different systems on different days/weeks? Or will they all be static?

According to my step brother, the randomness of some jump nodes in EVE was an interesting gameplay aspect because corporations could make large amounts of cash exploiting their quick jump times, sometimes for attacks on other people, and sometimes for quicker trade routes.

I believe they said you can either pick it up yourself or you can generate a contract to have it delivered to you, and that contract can be picked up by an NPC or by a player, and you can also hire protection and other goodies for that pilot to ensure your cargo gets where you want it to go.
