It also has a browser that shows every single skill, ship and module in the game and will figure out what skills you need to use them. I consider it a vital part of my Eve gameplay. Zurn,

If a crash can wipe it all out I don’t think many people would put up with it too long. And whether the loss of Steve was actually due to a crash or not, it could’ve been.

Dangit, you've made me consider it! I still have reservations about some things, but the mining bot part was really the number one sucky aspect of it, which prevented even exploring anything else in the short term. Is there a good skill-preview website/program somewhere, like the talent calculators for WoW? Maybe even a guide to what to take for various occupations, like merchant-fighter, trader, mercenary, pirate, super-miner or whatnot? Wow, skip the mining phase? Dangit, you’ve made me consider it!

IIRC, the Titan took 9 months to build - partly because due to the secrecy involved. 99% of ASCN members were not even aware what was going on - they thought they were mining/building for different projects (smaller capital ships, stations, POSs and so on) and a large chunk of cash/minerals was raised simply in taxes collected from player-built ASCN space stations. In EVE, nothing major can really be had by yourself. Capital ships, mining outposts, even higher-end combat vessels - you would be grinding away in the asteroid fields almost full-time just to handle the upkeep. On the other hand, if you have a corp working for a common goal, a few hours a week is all that's required for each member to feel as if they've accomplished large things. That's where EVE has an upper hand on the ego-centric MMOs like WoW. Since recent wisdom suggests that MMOs are all about community building, I cannot fathom why more MMOs don't adopt EVE's scale and systems. wolfgangdoom: You better believe some of the stuff in EVE makes WoW weapons look trivial.
