A game I miss.

I'll probably get shot multiple times for bringing this up, but playing the trial for EVE made me think on this.  I was really sad to see Earth and Beyond go.  Granted EVE is a fantastic game, I really like it, but there was something about EnB, well several things actually, that I really enjoyed.  For one, you could get out of your ship.  In EVE it seems that once your avatar reaches a certain age he/she is transfused into his/her ship and that's that.  I think EnB could have done a lot more with that, such as have missions and adventures where you had to be outside of your ship, and were able to use weapons and armor of some sort.  I also enjoyed the NPC characters a great deal.  The story lines connected to them were rather amusing and some of the conversations certainly earned a chuckle from me.  There were other aspects but this is already longer than I expected and I'd rather not spend the last minutes of my life before being mauled and shot by disapproving gamers commenting here.  I am quite certain, however, that many people have games they liked that folded, and most people would scorn for liking them.  So don't judge me too harshly. :P
