The most dangerous game

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

The sleepers don't seem so tough. They may be more diligent in determining active threats and keen to pop drones but our simple two-man fleet recently managed to defeat a few waves of frigates, cruisers and battleships, and when we were bolstered with another fleet member we sailed through ...

Engaging sleepers in w-space

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Waking up in w-space puts me rather an unfamiliar position, and not just relative to the rest of the galaxy. Being away from normal space, and the market, agents and stargates that I have taken for granted so far, I find that I am entirely reliant on my corporation ...

Boldly going where I haven't gone before

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

I can be quite timid at times and I know I am too shy for my own good, despite how it can appear in communication channels, which explains in part my adventures in New Eden being almost exclusively in high-sec and mostly solo. I also know that I really ...

Returning to the navy

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

I am currently avoiding my Core Complexion, Inc. agent after he asked me to get him some ice quite promptly and I end up distracting myself with three days of skill training before I can help him out. I am not one to sit around idly waiting for my ...

Battlecruiser vs. NPC battleship

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Having interrupted a diplomatic exchange by blowing up one of the emissaries the two factions are rather aggravated. With one diplomatic vessel not even scratched during the attack the other faction is suspicious of their involvement. Now my agent tells me it is time to drive home the ...

Driving an initial wedge

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

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 ...

A return to level three missions

Monday, January 12th, 2009

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 ...

Preparing to restart level three missions

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

I wake myself up and jump in to my pod, punching virtual buttons to work out where I left myself after coming home to Caldari space. I see an available agent on my station contact list and one ship and one shuttle in the hangar. I quickly assume ...

Coming home to Caldari

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Having quit my corporation in EVE Online I leave myself in Minmatar space with several PvP-fitted ships, a mission-running Drake battlecruiser and a salvaging Cormorant, and plenty of recovered modules. My next step is uncertain, so I ponder my options. I have thought about broadening my skills, teaching myself more ...

Cost versus benefit in PvE mission running

Friday, November 28th, 2008

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 ...
