The publisher likes to call it the largest collective science fiction story ever told.  Read more

There’s Andrew Groen and his Empires of EVE books! He mostly covers the Nullsec Empires.

There’s an outlook that settles in after you’ve played for a while. Your ship stops being a vehicle or a gun in your head, and starts becoming something more akin to ammunition. Especially in wormholes, it’s assumed that the moment you undock something and put it at risk, it’s forfeit. If you managed to bring it home Read more

I’m sorry you had a bad introduction, there are basically two types of EVE players. Players that prey and feast on newbies, and players that try to grow and uplift them. Both groups do it for the same reason, to eventually shoot them and pick the goodies off of their corpse, but the latter understands that if you let ‘ Read more

The support are actually part of the piece. They’re the ‘tether’ beams that anchor the ships to the Space Station in game. You can see them in the picture below: Read more

Joining a corporation absolutely increases your enjoyment. You can play EVE in a solo bubble, but you’re missing out on quite a bit. Read more

Hmm, I didn’t consider this angle. You could always have them mine for you? Read more

For anyone interested, there are ways to speed the skill learning process up now. They’re not necessary, but they exist. You can buy Skill Injectors from other players, earn skill accelerators in monthly events, and if you follow a recruit-a-friend link to start up, you get a small bonus.

I could not agree with this more.  Read more

I started playing three years ago. There’s almost nothing I can’t do in the game now. And the free things that are restricted by my skill point total are just things I haven’t decided to go for yet. Yes things take time to train, but you are never at a point where you can do nothing. Read more

Finding a newbie friendly corporation is the easiest way to get into EVE. If you’re not careful, you can find yourself lost in the crowd though.  KarmaFleet, Pandemic Horde, Brave Newbie, or whatever flavor you want. They all do great work getting people engaged in the game, and showing them how to be useful early on.  Read more

This is all being done on Tranquility. The SiSi part was him talking about testing his theories and his designs before everything went like. Everything else was done on the live server.  Read more

No. It’s really not. You do start at the bottom, but it’s not forever. And low skill point pilots can find things to do to make their way in the game.  Read more

I think BoRn2ReIgN would disagree with you about the sad part.. He sent me a message just this morning, telling me he’s got his third ship set up and ready to go, as well as a new strategy to avoid getting ganked while entering/exiting. Read more

This was definitely a very early Alpha build. Most of the features they told us about weren’t implemented yet.  I’m expecting the Alpha to open up soon to those that went to EVE Vegas.  Read more

Players have taken to looking at the map from the ‘top’ to determine the relative cardinal directions.  This site has a few examples: https://sov.space Read more

Wars happen because that’s why we play EVE.  Read more

Really, it doesn’t take a lot to get to the point where you can participate in this type of fight. You could show up, and assist in under a day. In under 3 months, there are ships you could be in that could make a big difference. You wont be in one of the Titans, but you could be the guy that causes that Titan to die.  Read more
