What came first, chicken or the egg?

I have too much brain activity on Friday...

Eve is made by players, run by players and built by players.

If everything is manufactured by players, who made the
first ships and structures, and with what?

If you always stay ready you don't have to get ready.

CCP made the first ships and structures. With lines of code.

Your assumption is incorrect and therefore the question is invalid.

Are CCP still adding ships and stuff? I read that they
have financial people keeping an eye on ingame
economics to avoid total disaster.

To avoid real life.

A fair misunderstanding of poor choice of words.

I meant what tools the first players had?

"Have you ever looked for the root of production? Take a look at a Tengu and dare tell yourself that it was created by the muscular effort of unthinking brutes. Try to build a frigate without the knowledge left to you by men who had to discover it for the first time. Try to obtain your ammo by means of nothing but physical motions–and you’ll learn that man’s mind is the root of all the goods produced and of all the wealth that has ever existed in New Eden."

Most mitochondrial DNA lineages found today in contemporary Icelanders can be traced to the native populations in Ireland and Scotland and Scandinavia.

You know, a rookie ship does come with a civilian miner module. It could take a long time but as long as you have that you can get into the economy. CCP made the rookie ships, then players make anything bigger than that, it's a pretty obvious question.

This post brought to you by CCP's alpha forum alt initiative. Playing the eve forums has never come cheaper.

I think its a fascinating and bold move if Eve actually started like that.

There used to be a professional economist watching and balancing things, but he left. I don't think they ever replaced him, but I'm not sure. Actually Eve having an onboard economist was a big selling point for me when I started. "Holy crap, this game's economy is so intricate, reactive to market forces, and realistic it needs an economist? And this game company put one on the payroll? How amazingly excellent is that?"

Too bad CCP doesn't occasionally mention the economy in their marketing/P.R. If I say to my other adult friends "I play a game about spaceships fighting each other," they just look kind of uncomfortable and don't know what to say. But if I say "I play an online game with 100s of thousands of players competing in an intricate, realistic, hyper-capitalist economy," they get interested.

As the game didn't have a real tutorial or any sort of career agents back then, mining in the starting ships (now called corvettes) is what started it all.

There was economy presentation on nearly every fanfest. I think, that since CCP Dr.EyjoG left, they use the analytics team as previously, where CCP Quant works for long time. He publishes economic reports monthly.

The egg came before the chicken, because of evolution. The first chicken egg was laid by something that wasn't a chicken.

Easy. Eve spontaneously came into existence when first time a Viking wrote a line of code. That Viking amazed at what Eve was logged in and was immediately podded by his best friend who found it earlier. That second Viking sold the login link to another Viking for a fortune but gave the third viking a previously used Plex for his isks. And with that Eve came into the world. That first Viking spends his days spinning a Rifter in a station somewhere in Jove space. He is the first bitter vet.

Earth did. With the same stuff we use now.

Pretty sure there used to be NPC seeds for some ships on the market. Just like how skillbooks are NPC seeded now. I wasn't around then, but gossip is never wrong.

Along with the ship seeds there were also npc buy orders for minerals 1,4,16,64...4096 isk for them.
