No matter which route you take, one aspect of EVE Online dominates the entire gaming venture and that's capitalism. EVE Online's weltanschauung is capitalist par excellence. What are known as clans, guilds and teams in other online worlds are known as corporations here. Corporations have CEOs and shareholders. Rule is not by dictatorship but by a consensus amongst members. Open up your "wallet" and you don't see just how much money you have, but a window for receivables and payables. Insurance can be bought on the ship you're trading with. Courier or Fedex type missions aren't simple at all; you must foot collateral on the goods you carry before you can even embark on the mission. And while each space station is outfitted with services like the ability to repair or outfit your ship, the only unique entities are corporate offices, hangars and brokers.
