How it plays
Friends usually join or found a corporation and fly as a fleet: mining, hauling, running missions or hunting other players.
Everyone shares one universe, so a small group lives alongside alliances of thousands.
Lost ships stay lost and learning takes months, which suits a patient group.
The game is free to start; a subscription lifts the free account's limits on skills and ships.
