This is a page explaining terms and names that used to be obvious, but because of changes in the game are not entirely accurate. These names and terms are well known, but their origins may be lost to history.

  • Nullsec, Zero Zero Space: All space with a security status of 0.0 to -1.0 used to be listed ingame as 0.0 security status, and was refered to in various derivates of 0.0.
  • BCU: The Ballistic Control System used to be called the Ballistic Control Unit, and while the full name is usually stated correctly, the Acronym stuck.
  • Killmail, Lossmail: Kill and Loss records used to be sent to your character by the Mail system. This was changed to a much more reasonable system in your character info, but the long used name stuck.
