I think the actual gunplay part of Eve combat is pretty abstract. For me the joy comes from the prep and risk. With out belaboring the point, I view combat as a sort of test of the fit of my ship and the tactics I am employing. Did I match the strengths I anticipated against the weaknesses I expected? Combat is short and brutal and best done with major risk. The game is designed so that there is no clear "best" anything and for me that's where the depth is.
