‘EVE Online’ sees massive, 2800-man battle, screenshots released

EVE Online, CCP Games’ space simulation MMO, experienced its largest skirmish to date over the weekend, incorporating more than 2800 different online players.

I won’t pretend to know all of the intricacies of this 2003 PC title. There are in-game professions and activities, such as piracy, mining, trading, exploration and combat, as well as plenty of ships just waiting to be piloted. A player-run economy also exists, but I don’t follow EVE Online for the core gameplay.

No, I pay attention to this bizarre world for events like what you see below.

Now, if you could just tell me what’s actually going on in these screens, that’d be much appreciated. Thanks to Reddit user “itsatrapski” for all the shots.
