I only played EVE for a brief space of time, but I have to commend on a well written and informative article. I intuited most of what you wrote while I was there, but things like can flipping were new to me.

I also have to say, the lead picture up top made me laugh and that animation you linked (CONCORDOKKEN'D!) was genius- I laughed so hard. Even having only played EVE for three weeks I totally got it. It reminds of one of the reasons I play these games- such flashes of humour unite us in a very fun way. It's a wonderful shared experience, is it not?
