Council of Stellar Management Elections
May 06, 2008
CCP has announced that voting for EVE's Council of Stellar Management has officially begun.
Long ago, mother Earth’s natural resources were gutted to the point of near desolation, then soon followed the rest of the Milky Way galaxy. A new source of raw materials was desperately needed, and was eventually found via a wormhole leading to an uncharted system which colonists named New Eden. A fatal disaster befell the wormhole’s stargates (dubbed the EVE gates), and the colonies were cast into a technological dark age. Only five major colonies managed to re-establish the resemblance of a new society. Do you have the masterful cunning and nerves of steel it takes for a spaceship pilot to thrive in New Eden?
EVE Online is a science fiction a MMORPG set in space and is one of the very few MMOGs in which all players exist in a single enormous virtual universe at the same time. Gameplay revolves around players piloting customizable spaceships, of which there are many designs available and each of which is suited to specific tasks (bigger is not always better and faster is not always favorable). Unlike many other MMO’s that grant character advancement through earned experience points, a player’s character in EVE Online “learns” skills by training a specific skill over time, even when not logged in.
There is much to keep players occupied in EVE Online’s MMP universe including combat, research, mining, manufacturing, piracy, trading, missions and cargo hauling. While NPCs sell low-tech goods, the rest of EVE Online’s economy is player driven. In combat, spaceship builds are just as important as a player’s tactical ability and flexibility. EVE Online features an open PvP system. This means any player can attack any other player anywhere. This system is countered by each solar system possessing a security rating. The higher the security rating, the safer a solar system is for space travelers.
