Once the Empyrean Age patch goes live on June 10th, you'll undoubtedly want to get stuck right in to the action. Players of Eve Online are able to participate in any number of in-game professions and activities, including mining, manufacturing, trade and combat (both PvE and PvP).
The playing environment in Eve Isk consists of over five thousand star systems, almost all of which can be visited by the player. Each solar system is connected to other systems by one or more stargates, and in this way neighboring systems are organized into constellations and constellations are in turn organized into regions. Although fighting between warring factions can occur anywhere in EVE Isk, most of the fighting and faction warfare missions will be concentrated into stretches of low security space around the borders between warring factions.
