Took awhile to read through and after reading this a few times, had a sleep then returned to read again. The part about the dreams, that you had explained. I feel it’s how many Capsuleers who stick with Eve Online experience subconsciously a dream about New Eden and reason why they continue to play. ---

Over the weekend, I was told in chat, this is not Eve Online, it is EVE Online? That EVE is an acronym for Everyone Versus Everyone. If this is true, I would like some official citation on it, and wouldn’t it be EvE and not EVE? I looked up some alternate possible acronyms and in bold are the ones I liked; Evolution and Ecology Easy Video Editing Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator (Wall-E’s girlfiend) **Equal Value Exchange** Essay Verification Engine Exemplary Voluntary Efforts **Emergency Medical Evacuation** Economic Value of Equity **End Violent Encounters** Epidural Volume Extension Extreme Value Engineering **Electronic Vehicle Entry** Effective Visibility Execution Expected Vertical Error Have fun! ---

> [@DrysonBennington](#): > > Miners are not lazy. If miners were lazy Eve Online wouldnt exist. So for all of the Criminal Gankers who attack mining ships for whatevet reason, YOU’RE the reason for inflation and increased cost of ships. This tells the Prophet you have little understanding of economics, which is ironic at best. If those ships did not explode, the need for your services would drastically drop. > [@TheHound\_OfGreys](#): > > a valid argument from you That is because the argument is, and already has been won.

> [@Felix\_Frostpacker](#): > > Wormhole bloke who doesn’t gank in HS and also believes this is not the Eve Online from the old days? Not sure, just another faceless name in help chat. I think if EVE is an acronym, I would like it to be **End Violent Encounters**. I guess is don’t matter, which makes it all antimatter and explodes. Have fun! ---

Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to deploy a sticky bomb that attaches itself to the side of a ship as you pass. That is what I now want to do to one of your ships! ---

They did! 🤣 So much so I gladly subbed them just for the scouting. Can’t kill Goons if you can’t find them and certainly can’t defend against them if you don’t see them coming. Never mind the mind-boggling amounts of isk from wh pi. (“Gain” your own wh with just 2 alt’s and get back to me on that one.) Ever have your Noctis (Of all ships?) warp in and save your main? Alts were part of the spider web of how we found our targets back then. I just kept them active because even though they could pay for their acct’s, they are handy! 🙃 Shame we don’t have any intelligent new players posting on the forums anymore for me to give isk to… ---
