EVE Online vs Master of Orion
EVE Online
EVE Online is a space simulation/ action MMO game that is among the most talked about game of all time when it comes epic space battles and deep "political" rifts between factions and guilds. In fact, the game has a social aspect that's so intricate - almost web-like - connecting every single player together that sometimes results in a melting pot that unfortunately boiled over... and that's when massive wars involving thousands of players and their spacecrafts erupt!Featuring immersive and rich lore as well as the whole universe for you to explore, the game is not all dogfights in space either - you can actually build a mining empire by excavating and trading minerals or become a cunning space pirate and ambush passing traders and their laden cargo too.
No other game does the space game genre justice than EVE Online. It can be rather complicated and somewhat daunting for a new player to start in the game, but once you got into the groove, you'll realize how brilliant this game is.
