#4I love reading about EvE once in a while. It's almost as if there were a completely different space world out there with unlimited freedom and unlimited possibilities. I always feel the urge to join this world and explore it -- but then I come to the realization that it probably needs an exuberant amount of time and dedication to partake in these news worthy event and that most of the time it's probably a grind.

Ever since I got a job I haven't had time for it. It really is a full time job to play, I noticed a lot of people who would play from work with cushy IT jobs.

Off topic question, is the name EVE or EvE? Usually the small "v" would denote a "versus". Is there a backstory to the name?
Never actually played it but I was always fascinated by the the extent to which the devs went to capture real life interactions inside the game. Now I'm fascinated by the extent to which the article's author went to capture game interactions in real life.

#8Amazing project! An interesting followup would be a converter script from the GTFS to the json input as a generalized format of this.
I wonder if BGP could be applied in this way to highlight "good enough" routes for public transit planning?

Games as a service tend to optimise for these kinds of players because they are the whales that pour obscene amounts of money into the game. it's part of why i refuse to buy into any game that sells itself as a "platform".
also the balance tends to suck in these games - how do you balance for someone who can basically put 8 hours a day every day in the game and someone who can log on for maybe 2 hours a week(if they're lucky)
also i may be nitpicking at this point but eve hasn't really evolved their tech stack for how popular they are(practically household names at this point). consequently the game shits the bed and is pretty unplayable when actually fun exciting events like a huge corporation being cannibalised happen...

EVE. Not sure where the "EvE" usage originated, although there is a running joke that it's "Everyone vs Everyone". Also not sure why it's all-caps.
However, generally the name originates in the game's backstory with the "EVE Gate" which was a now-expired wormhole that appeared somewhere in Earth's proximity and lead to "New Eden" which is the cluster where the game takes place.
