“There has never been a more exciting time to try EVE and become the spaceship pilot you always knew you should be,” proclaimed Jon Lander, EVE Online’s senior producer. “The EVE universe is, now more than ever, staggeringly ripe with possibilities for adventure, stories, profit and, well, really satisfying explosions with the new missile effects.”

EVE Online recently hit the headlines thanks to the ‘Burn Jita’ event which saw thousands of players seeking to ‘reboot’ the game’s economy by making the most active quadrant in the galaxy the centre of death and destruction. No doubt CCP are seeking to use this renewed interest to bring new players into gaming’s most notriously free universe and frankly who can blame them?
