The recent server news confirms at least one thing; EVE-lite is not the game people want, nor does EVE-lite actually work as a game. The reason EVE itself works is because its amazingly balanced in all aspects of design. Crafting is...

...PotBS. Well, I'm not really in a hurry for level, they aren't that important for the economy.
