For the longest time I've been overlooking EVE since I'm really not the MMO type.

Then a friend I used to work with told me about it and I couldn't help but to try it out for myself.

Right away the downsides to the game slapped me right in the face which I'm sure most people that left the game left it for the same reasons.

-skill requirements to use equipment and the skills in question are trained over time, not by playing.

-click to move, not direct control like a flight simulator

But I overlooked these faults and kept playing, and you know what, it's a really deep ass game as far as game play mechanics go. Essentially everyone that plays Eve is a businessman whether they realize it or not.

-Your combat vessels and equipment are assembled from resources
-Your resources were refined from ores
-Your ores were mined from asteroid belts

Everything you see in eve was ore mined by a player, refined by a player, and then manufactured by a player. If you don't like mining you can buy the ores to refine and manufacture, and sell the finished product to make a profit, or just mine the ore, refine it, and sell the resources.

The economy is player driven, you don't buy things from NPCs, you buy from other players. Overprice something and people will buy cheaper from other locations. Buy out a particular thing from everyone so you're monopolizing it and people will HAVE to by that equipment for your high price.

Scamming is allowed, telling someone that you're selling something for a high price and there's a buyer that they know of that will pay twice as much and they'll buy from you and try to sell to the other buyer to make a markup only to realize it was actually you again and you withdrew the offer leaving them with the overpriced equipment.

Combat: fight how you want to fight, jam your opponent from targeting you, use a webifier to slow him down making him an easier target, jam his warp drive so he can't leave the system, sap his capacitor so he can't repair his vessel.
Likewise if your friend is on the receiving end of this torture, use ECCMs to help him overcome target jamming, use your own repair drones to repair his ship, transfer energy from your ship to his, and start shooting back with a myriad of different weapons, rail guns, gatling guns, lasers and missiles.

So fleet battles of 50+ ships can be very intricate, knowing what ship to jam and what to web can make the difference between owning the star system or leaving in your escape pod with a billion dollar loss.
