This familiar side-by-side comparison of the different ship types in Eve Online was updated not too long ago to include the Titans, the largest ships available in the game. You can download a full size 4.65 mb version of the image here. Seeing it really rams home the breathtaking scale that this game works on.

I don’t have time for an MMO because playing one would mean having to skip all other games, but I did, the game I’d play would be Eve. It’s easily the most unique and ambitious of all the MMOs and really the only one that hands the power to shape the universe into the hands of the players.

I note that the game has had plenty of problems lately, what with the uncovering of a conspiracy that might have enabled some of the more powerful corporations in the game to exploit a glitch to create some 3 trillion ISK of goods in the economy and the current financial problems in Iceland, where Eve is based. The latest rumour is that CCP might move out of Iceland to make things easier for itself since most of its revenues come from outside the country anyway.

I might not play Eve, but I always enjoy reading the news and war reports coming out of the game and there’s no other MMO that I’d wish more to have a long and healthy life.
