This is an impressively in-depth look at a game I was once very fond of until I decided I didn't want to give the corrupt Randian assholes that ran it any more money, time, or attention.

It's kind of telling that even in a setting that suggests super turbo ultra space capitalism is not only triumphant but an uncontested standard of space civilization, the consistently successful pvp alliances practices something a lot like communism for their combat fleets and the pilots that operated them.

The "shareholder" system was a clownish joke and corporations were more a mandatory placeholder concept than the lived reality of people playing the game much of the time.
