Eve Online Game Overview

Eve Online is a massively multiplayer online game MMORPG or MMO in a science fiction space setting. Players pilot an array of customizable ships through a universe eith over five thousand solar systems. Most solar systems are connected by jump gates which players may use to travel between the systems. Solar systems can contain stations, moons, planets, asteroid belts and complexes.

Eve Online players may participate in many in game professions and activities including manufacturing, mining, trade and combat. Eve's character advancement system for training skills is in real time thus skill points are gained even while not logged in to the game.

Background

Having used up most of Earth's resources long ago, humankind began colonizing the rest of the Milky Way and eventually expanded to most of the galaxy. War broke out as the races competed for the raw resources of the galaxies. A natural wormhole was was eventually discovered which provided a link to another galaxy although it was unstable. Construction began on the Eve Gate which is an artificial wormhole generator which would link the galaxies after the natural wormhole closed. Unfortunately the Eve Gate was detroyed when the natural wormhole eventually collapsed. Cut off from the rest of the universe millions of New Eden's colonists starved. Five colonies managed to survive and return to prominence and together they rebuilt society. The 5 Coloniers or Empires are: the Amarr Empire, the Gallente Federation, the Minmatar Republic, the Caldari State and the Jove Empire. Players choose from 4 of these, Amarr, Gallente, Caldari, Minmatar, when creating their new character. The Jove race is not playable.

Universe

Eve Online Ship Image

Players may visit most the Eve Online enviroment, Tranquility, which has over five thousand star systems. Solar systems are connected to other systems by stargates and neighboring systems are organized into constellations and constellations are organized into regions. There is a total of 64 regions. The central regions make up most of the high security space with some low-security systems in between. Surrounding these are regions with no security. In some solar systems a player might be alone. Systems contain different types of celestial objects, making them more or less suitable for different kinds of operations. Typical solar systems consist of asteroid fields, stations, and moons. Players can use moons to anchor their parent corporation's structures for production and research or for moon mining. Asteroid fields can be mined for minerals. Other objects that can be found are the aforementioned stargates, complexes and a player may even stumble across a historic site.

Advancement

Eve Online is different from other MMORPG's because the characters do not gain experience through actions or completing tasks. Characters learn skills by training over time. It is a passive process which occurs in real time and the learning process will continue even if the player is not logged in. Higher level skill take longer than lower level skills to train and each skill has 5 levels each level taking longer to train. The skills are associated with five attributes: Intelligence, Perception, Charisma, Willpower and Memory. Each skill has a primary and secondary attribute, thus the higher these attributes, the faster skills that use them are trained. Other skills and implants can increase attributes speeding up the training process.
Due to the large number of skills available to characters, it simply is not realistic for characters to acquire perfect skills for all ships and weapons. Players may choose to acquire acceptable skills in many fields or perfect skills in a few.

Economy

The Inter Stellar Kredit or ISK is the Eve Online currency unit. Players may trade between themselves for items, use the in game market system, place and accept contracts between players for assets and services or use a Loyalty Points store.

The Loyalty Points systems allows players to use Points in combination with other assets to acquire standard items at a reduced rate.

The Eve Online econmy is for the most part player driven. NPC merchants supply some basic items and equipment. Players can manufacture items ranging from basic ammunition to capital ship hulls, through the use of blueprints and in-game skills. They may sell these items or use them for their own needs. Pricing and availability of goods varies by region contributing to an economic environment influenced by scarcity of resources, specialization of labor and supply vs demand. The economy is tied with the political aspect of the game which is also player driven. Player run corporations rise and fall as they compete for market dominance as well as territorial control.

Eve Online's economy is known as an open economy, there is no fixed amount of ISK or materials in the universe and is automatically balanced by introducing extra materials in underpopulated areas to encourage an even spread of players.

Combat

Combat in Eve Online is a combination of tactical intelligence and spontaneous decision making using a point and click interface. A character's capabilities are determined by skill, ship and hardware modules fitted into the ship. Outside of targeting and selection of weaponry, combat is nearly hands-off. Most aspects of combat such as maintaining a certain range and the firing of weapons is controlled by the ships onboard computer although the player may choose to fly the ship manually rather than rely on the ships computer but distances between ships tend to range in kilometers so reacting to a target's speed, direction and maneuvers manually is very difficult. Drones can be used in combat or in a support role such as providing extra shield for a gang freind or in a utility role such as electronic warfare.

The open player versus player combat system and the tendency for ships to drop some of their cargo and equipment when destroyed offer incentive for player piracy. Pirates risk being flagged as criminals by CONCORD and becoming open targets to all other players. Players may place a bounties on another player which provide work for bounty hunters.

The rich resources available in low security space reward large co-operative groups which are usually formed when several player owned and operated corporations band together forming alliances. The jumpgates allows travel between star systems and includes a number of choke points by which careful alliances can garrison in order to restrict access to claimed 0.0 systems. Corporations and alliances also have the ability to manufacture Starbases(POS) to mine resources from moons in a system. These require substantial support to remain in operation however once an alliance mounts and maintains such facilities it achieves a status of sovereignty until an enemy destroys them and replaces them with its own.

Agents

Eve Online features NPC Agents from which players receive a variety of assignments. Completed assignments pay ISK, various material goods, gifts and Loyalty Points which can be redeemed for other goods. Completing Agent missions also raises the players standing in the corporation or group that the Agent represents but lowering their standing among competing agents. Raising a plyers standing allows them to access more valuable and dangerous missions through higher level Agents.

Security System

Eve Online Ship Image

Eve Online features a PvP system where combat between players is permitted anywhere within the Eve Universe. To maintian balance of free aggression, Eve has uses a security index system. Each solar system has a security status which ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. The lowest end of the scale is lawless space while the highest end of the scale provides protection to players with sentry guns and CONCORD( NPC Police ).

Players committing illegal actions in 0.1 - 1.0 ( Empire Space ) lose standings with CONCORD. Loss of status varies depending on the crime commited. As players lose status their ability to enter certain levels of secured space becomes increasingly limited.

While breaking the law in high-security systems (that is, those with a security of 0.5 to 1.0) means certain death (surviving a CONCORD attack is considered an exploit) for the offender, this does not guarantee the absolute safety of the victim: a well-planned suicide attack can still successfully destroy a ship before CONCORD and sentry guns can neutralize the aggressor.

CONCORD has no influence in lawless space and the dynamics for player interactions is quite different. Corporations ally with each other to defend a region of space to which they claim. These alliances are often in conflict over contested systems and send gangs to raid each other. Although lawless space is dangerous and difficult to defend the rewards are much higher as asteroids contain more valuable ore and bounties on NPC pirates are much more rewarding.

Death

When a Eve Online player's ship is destroyed, a wreck is left behind. Cargo hold contents, ship modules, drones and ammunition that were not destroyed can be recovered by any player. Additional components of the ships structure can be salvaged which can be used to build ship enhancement modules. To mitigate the loss of an expensive ship, they can be insured.

When a ship is destroyed, the player is ejected in a pod. The pod may be destroyed also if another player chooses to fire upon it which will kill the character within the pod and will be revived as a clone at a pre-determined cloning facility. NPC's will not attack a pod. Implants installed on a character will be lost when he or she is pod-killed.

Implants and Boosters

Implants are plug in modules which can be used to increase a character's attributes or provide bonuses to combat, mining or other skils. Once an implant is planted they cannot be removed without them being destroyed. Boosters are a type of drug and may are one time use items. They provide combat, defensive, and navigation bonuses for Eve Online Characters

All players start with a small number of core skills depending on choices made during the character creation process and need to buy skill books in order to acquire new skills. Each skill has a different multiplier, or "rank", that determines how long each subsequent level takes to train. For example the basic skills with low ranks may take the player 10 minutes to train to the first level while high-ranking skills like Capital Ships take months to train to the highest level. Each skill may have pre-requisites - a requirement that other skills must be trained to a specific level before it can be trained.

Blueprints, Manufacturing and Research

Most Item in Eve Online are created by players through the use of blueprints. Original blueprints may be used without limit, researched to improve manufacture time or cost, and copied. Blueprint copies have a limited number of times which they can be used and cannot be researched. Tech I blueprints can be purchased from NPCs. Tech II blueprints are for more advanced items and can be invented from their Tech I counterpart BPCs which results in a Tech II BPC that can be manufactured. Manufacturing and inventing from blueprints requires resources including minerals mined and refined from asteroids and moons, construction components (which are created from other blueprints), and items either dropped by or salvaged from NPCs.

Player Owned Stations POS

Starbase structures are required to build Player owned Stations (POS).They consist of a number of modules and one control tower which is available in different sizes. POS modules are availible for such uses as storage, moon mining, defense, weapons, manufacturing, laboratory operations and ship maintenance. POS can also be used for group or Corp bases
