Can you actually see battles happening now or is it still "get one updated frame every few minutes"? I remember back in the day when we had 1,000+ ships in a system attacking LV and basically you used to just sit there and hope that what you were doing was having any effect at all.

It's realtime. You're flying spaceships around, targeting enemies, and getting shot at with the only speed limit being how quickly you can shift attention to the next important thing.

  There is a mechanic that when there are too many ships in one place, time slows down.

    Sure, but it’s never extreme like the above poster described. That’s also only for large battles. Outside those, EVE is almost always in real-time.

      That's pretty cool, ten years ago the only real "fun" in battles was dicking around on TeamSpeak.

  What? There is a thing called time-dilation. They slow the game time down so they can handle it all. You'll be running at 10% of normal speed for large fights and it sucks.
