Nah…you have it bass ackwards.
The entire driving force behind the Eve economy is destruction. Without that destruction, there would be no need for new ships. Thus it is pew pew and destruction that fuels the engine of the Eve economy, and without which there simply would not be any economy. With no destruction and no need for new ships and modules…there would be no need to mine, and no need for industry. The economy would grind to a halt, because nobody would be buying anything.
Thus pew pew is the real driving force behind Eve…and is the apex and pinnacle of the economy. Everything else is just a service industry for that force. Just like in the real world, people have to ‘consume’ in order to have an economy. Consumption in Eve is of ships, modules, etc, being destroyed.
