One of the things I’ve been keen to try out since resubscribing to EVE is Incursions. They were actually released just prior to when I last stopped playing, but at that time all I knew was that they required a fleet and since I wasn’t in a corp, that was pretty much un-doable. Well, I [...]

Oh noes war-decced
Found this rather amusing. I received this mail on my Jita trader character. Shiver me timbers! My wife was pretty surprised that people would think of something like this to make money in EVE. As always, never underestimate the creativity of people when it comes to ways of screwing other people over. They probably thought [...]

Mining can be a whale of a time
So I mentioned that I would say more about the Orca and why I love it so much. There are a lot of ships in EVE, but I would have to say that not all of them are game changers. What I mean by that is that they don’t really allow you to do anything [...]

Shiny Ship Review
So a lot has changed in EVE since I took a break. When I lasted posted, I was using a Rattlesnake with a dual-boxed Raven to do missions. The Rattlesnake was a really big step up from my Dominix, and had a really awesome passive tank. However, I was finding that the DPS of this [...]

Shooting myself in the foot
Doh. Sometimes you do things that really make you wonder if you forgot to turn on the brain in the morning. Well at least I hope it’s not just me. I just got podded for the first time since playing EVE. Lost a full set of +4 implants, plus another set of missile skill hardwiring [...]

Charging off to war
The past weekend I finally bit the bullet in EVE and dipped my toes into the kiddy pool of PvP. I quit my corp (after having to wait 24 hours to remove roles, doh) and joined up with the Caldari State in faction warfare. Whee, I’m now part of the Blob! I was originally a [...]

Feeling my age
Even after 1 year, I often look at my son and think “wow I can’t believe I’m a dad”. When I play basketball on weekends, I often find myself playing with teens and or young twenty-somethings. And amazingly I find that I get along with them better than I do the older crowd, who tend [...]

CNR vs Golem
So my skills on Noork and Yannie have been chugging along while they sit at their desks in Venilen studying away like good little bookworms. Noork’s skills have been all over the place as I managed to round out most of my gunnery skills as well as get T2 small autocannons for my Rifters. Then [...]

Turns out Margin Trading isn’t completely useless
Interesting series of articles pushed out by CCP lately, detailing some of the scams that can be found in EVE. I’ve never even heard of some of these and I think the Margin Trading fake buy order scam is actually quite clever and is likely to catch many pilots since there’s no way to tell [...]

Buzzing around
I’ve realised that lately I seem to keep getting distracted easily when it comes to games. I don’t know if it’s a consequence of playing mostly WoW for a few years, but now I seem to flit in between games very quickly. Some people tend to do this naturally anyway, but for me its not [...]
