It has its addictive qualities too where you feel you could go on playing it forever while knowing you have got to stop playing it for your own good.&lt;p&gt;Years later I got introduced to Elite Dangerous and it&amp;#x27;s been a lot more fun than Eve. Elite gives players the opportunity to fly by binary stars, fly through neutron star jet cones to overcharge fsd drives, combats close to stars, land on planets and even more simulated activities. If you have a VR the game becomes a unique experience. The game&amp;#x27;s map is based on Milky Way galaxy and the systems are procedurally generated. I remember last year the devs announced approx 112000 individual systems were discovered and this is about 0.028% of the total. Anyway, a few months ago I solo traveled to Sag A* and returned later to the bubble (where Solar system and surrounding systems are). It took me 2 weeks to complete the trip and at times it was pretty boring. On the other hand it is the only game that let me experience the stress of flying near a black hole and I am grateful to the devs for making it possible.</text></comment>

The things we see here on HN and hear about in regards to Eve online are incredible. Even when listening to the Talk Python podcast one dev from the Eve Online crew came on to talk about it all.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s pretty incredible, and these articles are never not fun to read about. There&amp;#x27;s also from time to time the World of Warcraft articles that pop up on HN.</text></comment>
