Will take you all you need do is apply.

Rifterlings will take you after you fly with them for a week and show you are cool to be around.

Go.. fly.. kill all the things.

CCP has often explained they built Eve to let you shoot strangers in the face.

The point of EVE could be hidden in the word multiverse. To me, EVE is an experiment to support Simulated reality hypothesis.

What is the point of eve?

It is an Icelandic socioeconomic and political simulation, designed by the Psychologists at CCP to see how far the Human Psyche can be pushed towards the generally accepted notion of "evil" based on extant internal "game" factors, inequity, lawlessness, lack of consequences in real life, etc etc.

OR

A group of drunk Icelanders still sore over the cod war, got together and decided to screw with the brains of a whole generation of computer users to see what would happen, and then a marketing man said hey why not get them to pay while you screw with them?

Tadaaa welcome to eve

Then you know that the most "evil" thing that anyone can do in a videogame is utterly trivial on any real scale of morality

I doubt you do if you use it so liberally

So what part of my original post screamed "this guy is serious"?, or were you just caught up on the word "evil" and thought you'd share your worldview with everyone?.

I ask in return: What is the point of RL?

Does there have to be a point to an existence?
