With your character created, it’s time to begin your life in space. And I really do mean begin your life. As you might expect from all the customization above, EVE Online offers innumerable career paths and ways to spend your days. Unlike Freelancer, which offered an admirable array of story-based and open-ended missions, EVE Online opens the entire universe of employment options, from the most mundane to the eerily exotic. Work for a corporation, run errands for Agents, start your own company, draft and sell exclusive blueprints, pirate others’ ships or mine asteroids for a living that would make Fred Flintstone proud. If there’s a job you imagine might be useful in space, you can do it in EVE Online.
