[IMPORTANT!] Before reading this, please note that it is largely written for Eve players players, and so there is a certain amount of assumed understanding of what Eve 'feels' like to play. If you've never played it don't worry though, I've tried to be both general and concise to avoid confusion as much possible. Please also be aware that this piece is VERY GUSHY! I usually tend to avoid being disgustingly positive, but as this piece is about why I love Eve Online, being positive is kind of inevitable.

So, on with the show:
