Your introductory review of Eve was interesting. I have been playing for over 2 years, and would love to see what you think after a couple years. The problem right now is that the game has gone to the blob. Not only have the developers consistently put things in favor of blobs, they have created no technologies in the game for players that give even a remote chance of dealing with simply being out numbered by lesser ships. There is no skill involved anymore, it's either you have numbers, or you run, and it is only getting worse with the coming update. CCP has input many new ships, that favor gang tactics, and continue to degrade the power of individual ships to hold their own. In any setting, after so long, technologies would be developed to improve the chances of survival, but there are none. Your T2 fitted Battleship (130mil to 200mil, fitted and insured) has no chance against 5 much smaller cruiser class ships, and your ship costs 3 to 4 more times to outfit, then those 5 cheap cruisers (50 to 75mil all fitted and insured), but you can't win, you can't get away, you're just dead. It is removing the need to train for months, and spend lots of money to get to flying Battleships and Carriers/Capital ships, when a group of small ships can take you out. What they are doing is moving away from 'useful' specialized and powerful ship classes, and towards more general and weaker ship classes. Good players all say the same thing, "Pretty soon we will all be flying an Ibis with Civilian Gatling guns (the rookie ships new players start with.) In trying to entice new players to the game, the are seriously gimping the veteran players who have invested lots of time and money to build a strong character. CCP is snatching the prize from us just before we achieve it, and folks are voting with their feet. There are lots of other problems with the game I won't bore you with. In the world of stock trading where I come from, I say Eve-online is a mature game, lots of faults, bad decisions, all making your subscription decision a hold or sell at this point, definitely not a buy.
