I figured 100 km was far enough away that they'd leave me alone. I simply thought I was out of range and they wouldn't attack. Obviously I was wrong. Speeds are definitely on par with what you're thinking, with warp speeds on the order of 5-6 AU/sec. I think you'll find it quite "realistic," as Sci-Fi goes. I hope you do at least give it a try for the free trial. You can't beat free! HG - That's a great thing about EVE - you're grinding without the grind. Things are definitely picking up for me.

I don’t play EVE (not yet anyway) but if 100 klicks is considered a far distance then there is a problem. 100 kilometers is right nextdoor in space.

Consider; in order to break Earth orbit a spaceship will need to move about 12 Km’s a second. Yep per second. If the spaceships in EVE only have the capabilities of todays spaceships, and I bet they are better, then 100 Km’s is about 8.5 seconds away. Like I said, right next door!

Putting this issue aside, I do think (who am I kidding? I know.) that eventually I will end up playing EVE. Tony has led me to many good watering holes in the past and this one looks tasty. I just hate it when he moves on to the next one while I am still drinking!

If I get closer to crunch time I may take you up on it. I just realized I need to buy a skill (which costs almost as much) before I can pilot the ship. Bummer. Vince - I'm usually a carebear, too, but I am looking forward to the PvP aspects of EVE. Maybe I'll drop you a line in-game. Ethic – Thanks for the offer.

Be on guard cos it's really addictive. For an age i was what eve gamers like to call a carebare, never leaving empire space and trying to make a living as a miner. For a while this life suited me well. I soon got tired of this and started to wonder why it was i was always so broke. The answer was simple, its a hard life in eve if you want to be good, every isk you ern you will probably slave for. So i had to make a hard choice and i started to be bad, at first my conscience bothered me but all the innocent people i was killing and the hard ernd ore that i was stealing soon started to pay off. I was starting to get rich, filthy rich. Now the eve universe has opened up for me and i cant tell you how much fun i have every time i log into the game and join the rest of my corp for a fun packed killing fest. The adrenaline really starts to pump. It's so hard to believe that a game can affect you in such a way i am totally flabbergasted with it. If you ever need any pointers contact me in game ill be glad to help my chars name is Vince Prince. Just enter that into people and places and you should find me. Happy HUNTING :) I have been playing eve for a while now. Be on guard cos it’s really addictive.
