Whay you’ve described is the sandbox nature of eve…which is gameplay.

Again…sandbox nature. It’s not that we don’t want fights to be ‘unfair’, it’s that we don’t want fair fights to be forced on us.

It’s the basis of eve. [See the 8 golden rules of eve.](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/8-golden-rules-for-eve-online/3973)
