The Crane makes quick work of getting me back to my mission base. I jump pod in to A Matter of Brevity, one of my Drakes. When I catch up with the my two corporation colleagues it looks like we are running level four missions, judging by the ...

It is possible to love your Crane too much. I am thoroughly enamoured with my personal blockade runner, speeding courier packets half-way across regions, delivering manufactured modules to varied markets quickly and easily, and although I smash through low-sec with some trepidation at least I don't avoid it. ...

'I've got rats to kill!' It's worth shouting about encounter missions when working for agents that are far more inclined to want packages delivered. Unlike courier missions, where it is unnecessary to drag others in to the tedium of jumping several systems across and back again, encounter missions ...

I'm warping to rendezvous with my corporation friend, sitting on an acceleration gate that leads in to a level four encounter mission for Lai Dai. 'There may be four battleships in there', she informs me, as I impetuously activate the gate before she can steal all the aggro from ...

I'm currently working for a manufacturing agent with Core Complexion, Inc., which involves mostly courier missions.

I call on my agent and he has some work for me. 'Cadet Ibramovic, would you do us a favour and blow up a diplomat?' Sure thing. Wait, what? It's as if he's been eavesdropping on my thoughts, as I've been looking for something a little ...

Trying desperately not to repeat myself, I made the journey back home to Caldari space, got my mission-running and salvaging ships to an agent's station, and set a skill training that would take around a week to complete, thus stopping me from poking around the EVE Online certificate planner, at ...

Monday, December 1st, 2008
My new plan to run missions quickly to gain faction standing more efficiently, ignoring bounties, loot and salvage, starts off well. I pop in to New Eden and pick up my first mission of the evening from my agent, the Repair Station. There isn't a better mission for ...

I jumped back in to a pod to blow up more spaceships in EVE Online. I knew I wanted to and that I would have a good time, but another factor that became apparent after a little more thought influenced my decision. Having joined a corporation in a ...
