'''The number one rule in EVE is: "Don't fly what you can't afford to lose."''' Other players can attack you at any time, anywhere. They may suffer consequences for doing so, but many players enjoy destroying expensive ships, no matter the cost to them (and many of them are very good at doing so cheaply). So while your ship may be strong, it is never completely safe, and the more your ship is worth, the more someone else may want to blow it up. Even the strongest ships can't fight off a fleet of players who have resolved to destroy them. | '''The number one rule in EVE is: "Don't fly what you can't afford to lose."'''

EVE is a game of balancing risks and costs. Fitting a cheap ship with cheap modules means you'll barely care when you lose it, but it may not necessarily win fights. A lot of gameplay in EVE is preparing for conflict, and determining how much money you want to risk in order to achieve your objectives. Having the best ship money can buy is great, but if you spend all of your ISK on it and then lose it, it's gone. "Gear" is not | EVE is a game of balancing risks and costs.
