An intense massively multiplayer space simulation game perfect for those sci-fi fans out there. This game primarily consist of 4 playable races: Amarr Empire, Minmatar Republic, Gallente Federation (my race) and Caldari State. Each comes with various bloodlines which separates them from one specialty to another. They also have their own fleet which is the most important. Ranging from small fighter frigates to huge thousand times larger (and rarer!) Titans with their doomsday devices that could wipe out hundreds of ships in one sweep. Each race's fleet of course has their own specialty which will be Amarr for versatility, Minmitar for speed, Caldari for armor and Gallente for firepower.
This game has a lot more to offer than piloting space ships but basically, you can choose your role weather you want to be a fighter pilot, miner, builder or a head of a corporation. A corporation by the way is equivalent to Guilds in mmorpg's.
Leveling up a character doesn't exist in this game, instead you learn skills. A skill pack must be purchased (if you don't have the skill yet) for you to learn it and may take around 30 minutes but when you increase the level of that skill, the time of learning increases and may take up to a week. Yes a WEEK!. Even if you log off the game, the skill you are learning is still in progress. These skills are required for you to learn newer and more advanced skills, fit armaments on your ship, create a corporation, build a ship mining advanced ores and many more. The skills you learn determine what type of character build you have.
Another thing I'm amazed about this game is that, it has an in-game calculator and browser. Ain't that neat!. As you open the map, It will show you somewhat a picture of a milky way but it IS really the whole EVE system's map. You can actually click on the smallest dot of light and go there by the use if your built in warp drive and every space station's nearby Stargate (which looks like a gun and makes you a bullet and fire you to your destination literally).
Last thing I have to say, This game is a bit complicated and its not for those people that are very impatient and wants action right away. You can try the game and I strongly suggest that you go through the tutorial first before proceeding because it will pretty much teach you the basics. See you in game!
