As a total Eve n00b, I find the game incredibly photogenic — so much so that I often switch to windowed mode and grab my tourist camera (read: screen shot) and snap away. I thought I’d share a couple:

Eve offers a variety of missions to help newcomers to Eve get their feet wet, and the cargo one picks up during such missions can be pretty funny, ranging from “one unit of damsel in distress” to (as you see above) livestock. Of course, whenever I end up carrying livestock, I think of Shindig. In many ways the Eve universe does closely resemble that of Firefly, as players often find themselves running from station to station (to asteroid belt to annoying agent at a beacon in the middle of nowhere) hauling freight, transporting “one unit of passenger,” or eliminating various baddies (or goodies) for cash — known as ISK in the game. And Eve is just as dangerous as the Firefly ‘verse: with no dedicated PvP areas, you’re exposed to the possibility of attack always.
