Minerals you mine yourself are free.

Someone who is AFK (cloaked or otherwise) can kill you.

Whether warping "through" a station is the result of the same phenomenon as warping "through" a planet. Because, they sure look different...

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

No such thing as solo PvP

Can't compete without 50M SP

Adding more EHP to a hulk will stop it being ganked

Low sec is dangerous

Null sec is dangerous

Null sec is safe

How many velators to take down a carrier? super carrier? titan?

Also if the CCP caravans do indeed drop T2 BPOs or not needs to be mythbusted.

Minmatar ships - just how much punishment they can take.

Whining at CCP can get you attention.

I'd hit that. Afterall, she's hot, she'll get cold, then warm back up when decomp sets in Blink

by far the most popular myth in EVE seems to be "passive align".

as most freighter pilots know model orientation does not effect your ability to warp (plug in nomads to make this really obvious).

the common explanation is "a (velocity) vector of length 0 has no direction, stupid"

However, if you bring a ship to a full stop and then accelerate again (by clicking on the arrow right of the speed dial) it continues into the direction the model is aligned to - so ship orientation seems to be stored somewhere independently of ship velocity.

So even if "passive align" does not exist (and it doesn't), the stock explanation for why it doesn't exist appears to be off.
