Incidentally, Eve is the source of my favorite overflow bug! By putting a ship into a region of space that reduces the range of its weapons and using various range-debuffs, players were able to decrease the range of certain weapons by enough to get the range variable to roll over. This gave them near-infinite range on weapons that were intended to be short range. Since the short range was a tradeoff for very high damage, suddenly having infinite range was game breaking. However, the people who discovered the bug were clever, and did not abuse the power enough to be detected for nearly a year.
