EVE Fiction

I'm pretty new to Eve and have recently become interested in its practical law I found this page https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/New_Eden_crew_guidelines and I've just been wondering several questions.

• Are the crews families onboard the bigger ships like battleship and up. And how much on average would that increase numbers.


• How may people would on average be in a customs office or POS.


• And finally what about crew numbers for industrials, freighters and Mining Ships.

Sorry btw for any rookie mistakes this is my first ever forum post.
Thanks :)

Thanks that was most helpful.
It's a pity they don't have any average numbers but I guess that I'll make an educated guess from the information provided.

Hello Cathy Okagima

I had originally thought of writing about the ships in EVE, and looked at the Enterprise like multitude of window like lights on the battleship hulls. I looked up the crew lore, too, and saw there was information, but not an exhaustive amount.

Since you posted in EVE fiction, are you interested in the fiction of EVE? or even writing? The story canon seems off and on as to whether or not they incorporate the crew or not in their narratives. I am a player, an actually have a skeleton crew in my first story, and this has consequences eventually. I was trying to write a story that could be relatively easily followed by an inexperienced player not knowing the vocabulary, and introducing crew into my busy story would have left the readers head spinning.

Its the same thing that happens when you get an EULA from your internet provider. It is information overload, as the EULA gets longer, instead of more information getting processed, less or none gets processed. This is of course, not advisable, its just what happens to some consumers, and is an example of what happens with too much packed into a story.

Do you plan to incorporate crew in a story?

Who did they convince to go with me on my badly fitted cruisers when I couldn't fit a ship? Heck who goes now?

The Teacher: Part One

Well pardon my butt and call me a honeyfrog, but when I look at my Providence for example, I see thousands of little windows along the whole hull (even under the plates when you set your camera right). I can't imagine why would anyone decide to build such a giant ship with so many windows mostly for nothing if your theory is right. Personally I think there is a rather large crew on every freighter, directly maintaining the giant engines (for example one of the side engines of Providence is bigger than entire Titanic), the cargo monitoring, docking & undocking the monster, or just in general the capital ship itself. You know, it's a two and half kilometers long behemoth, after all.

Or, those windows are actually from rooms and cabins for when you transport live people? Like tourists, dancers, militants? But that doesn't answer the question why they are all lit all the time

However, I can imagine the cargo loading is mostly automated. Though it's unrealistic as hell that I can load 918 thousand cubic meters in less than a second. But that's a different topic

You're right

I really don't like big ships half-empty. I'm a weird honeyfrog. I stuff every ship with maximum crew.

Never realised that every time i blow up a NPC ship i kill most if not all of the crew onboard, as a mission runner, i wonder how many people i've killed over the past 5 years....
