To shake my routine up a bit, I think I'll go scanning. Once my client stops crashing and the UI stops glitching, I may even make it out of our home w-space system. Chasing a signature around for five minutes for no reason, then having the probe range ...

An exit is found to New Eden. Although it leads out to my manufacturing region, the wormhole is reaching the end of its natural lifetime, giving only a few hours before it collapses. 'Only a few hours' sounds like a long time—and it is—but the timing all depends ...

Perhaps a day too late, I invent a Crane. My partner in invention gets an early success with a Bustard BPC coming out of the laboratory, although the cost in datacores is quite high considering the number of failed attempts that come out at the same time. Undeterred, ...

Running missions for production agents unsurprisingly turns up the occasional challenge to mine some rocks floating in space. I take my Retriever out to the deadspace complex, and my corporation colleague comes along in a, uh, okay.

I really like the Crane. I borrow Kename Fin's when she's not looking, and when she's around pretend I couldn't possibly borrow it in a reverse-psychology manoeuvre that naturally ends up with me zooming across the galaxy at hugely impressive warp speeds. It warps faster than a shuttle, ...

There is a spot of luck when a wormhole opens from the corporation's claimed w-space system in to Minmatar known-space. Admittedly, it is many jumps to the corporation's base, and to my stubbornly situated manufacturing base in the opposite direction, but the wormhole exit is only a few jumps ...

My plan to stockpile minerals looks to be working at the moment. I have bought a fair quantity of most minerals at good prices and getting them back to my industrial base lets me run several production lines without running out of materiel. Of course, I will need ...

Those charming fellows with the British accents over at Killed in a Smiling Accident tagged me to post the sixth picture in my screen grabs folder.
I was hoping for an interesting and stimulating trip down memory lane as I worked my way to the sixth image in my World of ...

My agent asks me to mine some Green Arisite, a variant of the Gneiss mineral, for a new research project. There a catch in that the ore can only generally be found in low-sec systems. I ponder this for a minute, as going in to a low-sec system ...

It is time to deal with a pirate invasion. This is the kind of straightforward mission I like to get from my agent, and my agent seems keen to offer me this kind of work. Go out and blow up some rats, she says. It takes all ...
