As a total Eve n00b, I find the game incredibly photogenic — so much so that I often switch to windowed mode and grab my tourist camera (read: screen shot) and snap away. I thought I’d share a couple:
1. Firefly In Eve (Above)
Eve offers a variety of missions to help newcomers to Eve get their feet wet, and the cargo one picks up during such missions can be pretty funny, ranging from “one unit of damsel in distress” to (as you see above) livestock. Of course, whenever I end up carrying livestock, I think of Shindig. In many ways the Eve universe does closely resemble that of Firefly, as players often find themselves running from station to station (to asteroid belt to annoying agent at a beacon in the middle of nowhere) hauling freight, transporting “one unit of passenger,” or eliminating various baddies (or goodies) for cash — known as ISK in the game. And Eve is just as dangerous as the Firefly ‘verse: with no dedicated PvP areas, you’re exposed to the possibility of attack always.
I’m a huge fan of MMORPG’s (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) and have been for years. A few years ago I saw an ad for Eve Online and decided to see what it’s all about – and I’ve been playing on and off for a few years now. Eve isn’t just a flight game or a techno shooter or even an MMORPG, it’s a mirror of life with the restrictions removed and set 20,000 years in the future.
