For me Lore is like Salt. many will say it doesnt matter, or too much will ruin the meal (game). To me though, its essential in any cooking, and anything made without it is likely to be extremely bland and only popular in the UK (yes this last part was more a jab at alot of the english cooking ive tasted, that soemhow is even popular in the irish towns ive been to, despite ireland loving some hearty delicious foods).

according to lore our ships have crews.....but for some reason the only non-capsuleer crews in the game exist in.....industry. The one part of the game NOT done in space ships!

1) Wrong. Industrial NPC ships are commonly seen leaving stations

2) Double wrong. Navy and Pirate ships are mostly exclusively normies and not capsuleers

It matters to me for immersion if nothing else.

It used to bother me that so many ships had glass "cockpits" like fighters, despite lore making it very clear that we were in pods. There used to also be a lack of windows on ships, despite lore making it clear our ships are crewed.

The lack of interactive ship crews, speaking of, is something that bothers me if only because it conflicts with lore.

Eve lore and back story is too weak to really get into. The factions are too simple and PC to be really fun.

Sorry, what did you say? I can't hear you over the begging and screams
