I'm not ashamed to admit that I often spend evenings quietly mining or hauling on one screen while playing Overwatch or watching Netflix on the other, and there's something compelling about knowing that I'm still being productive in my downtime.
Making these activities more actively engaging might improve the minute-to-minute experience of new players, but EVE would lose something fundamental—the contrast that makes the exciting bits so exciting and the pain of loss so devastating, the slow progress that makes joining a corporation so important and encourages socialization and specialization.
When you do have the time to actively engage with EVE, a faster pace of action can be found in other activities such as combat missions and exploration sites. On the extreme end of the activity scale are PvP and the new Abyssal Deadspace PvE dungeons, both of which require your complete attention as you have to rapidly respond to changing and emergent circumstances. The user interface is another major sticking point for many new players. Unifying features such as tooltips, the taskbar, and notifications help add some much-needed cohesion and explorability to the interface, but the rookie help chat channel is still always packed with players asking for help finding the options they want.
New players also often find the realtime skill progression system unfamiliar and limiting, and some of the higher level skills require several months of just waiting to acquire.
Rich players can also buy skill injectors from other players to add skill points directly to their characters and skip those realtime roadblocks, a feature that is regarded by some to be a form of pay-to-win gameplay. Though EVE as a game is now 15 years old, the engine has been remastered over time and the graphics have been kept up to date with current standards. I get a solid 60 fps in complex scenes with dozens of ships and objects on an Intel Core i7 3. I'll occasionally drop to 30 fps in the rare scene with a lot of gas and particle effects.
The main performance constraints are server-side, with star systems beginning to lag when hundreds of players gather in the same place unexpectedly. MMOs are at their best when played with a tight-knit group of good friends, and EVE does a great job of empowering groups and rewarding cooperation.
A new player will start the game able to fly only his chosen faction's tech 1 frigates, small and fast ships with limited firepower and defences. Alone, they can realistically only accomplish basic PvE and mining tasks. But they can quickly upgrade to larger ships such as high-damage destroyers designed to kill frigates or tanky cruisers that can take a lot more of a beating, and this isn't just a linear upgrade path.
Every ship has a purpose in the context of a group, and the lowly tech 1 frigate can play the vital role of PvP tackler after just a few days of skill training and mentoring.
By that kind of learning curve, most newcomers will be intimidated. However, knowing what to expect in EVE Online is one way to avoid getting swamped with layers of information and starting out weak. Thankfully, the game is more accommodating than ever and it's high time to learn what the game has to offer before diving in. So if players commit to getting the best of the best, as in the largest ships and the most decorated officers to pilot them, then it's on them if that ship gets ganked.
Grinding towards some materialistic goal might give players a sense of purpose, but it's not the be-all, end-all play for EVE Online since most of the player's inventory can be stolen. One of the reasons why having the best stuff in EVE Online doesn't always work out in the players' favor is due to the PvE and PvP being interconnected. Most players can and will attack anyone unprotected or open and inter-player piracy is a common occurrence in the game. PvP also isn't just limited to ship-vs-ship combat.
It exists at the macro-level as well, such as market maneuvers and recruitment drives since players control the in-game politics and factions. Even if players choose to be neutral, chances are, they'll still get involved one way or another. It's best to join a corporation. The "guilds" or "clans" in EVE Online is called a corporation. The difference is that corporations can become powerful enough to have their own territory, influence, or market dominance. There are countless numbers of them in EVE Online since they're formed up by the players.
Newbies will do well to join one of them even as a stepping stone since corporation members will happily help their own from giving advice to coming to your aid.
