Hulkapocalypse?
Posted in entertainment, EVE Online Tagged: EVE Fitting Tool, Hulk, Mining, suicide ganking Things may be warming up a bit for us in New Eden. Gaff has reactivated an account or three. I am coming to the end of a training cycle that will let him fly a Hulk at last. It might be time to leave the ha...

September in Review
In EVE Online I hit a major ISK milestone. But I was building up ISK because I had my eye on a freighter. But the most important EVE Online event was probably Yahtzee Croshaw’s Zero Punctuation review of EVE Online. Much shoe-on-head wearing and talk about tactical logistics reconfigurati...

August in Review
EVE Online Being level 80 hasn’t killed WoW for me yet. It has, however, made the game a little more like EVE Online in one very specific way. Rather than there being the grand drive for the level cap where one follows a series of quests related to an over-arcing story, it is now much more of a fi...

Learning Skills, Using Skills
Posted in entertainment, EVE Online It is not that I am unhappy with the way that the skill system works in EVE Online. In fact the system tends to favor people like me who have a bit of patience Still, I find something vaguely unsatisfying about character skills being obtained and honed vi...

Apocrypha So Far
Apocrypha marks the sixth EVE Online expansion I have been through (the other five being Revelations, Revelations II, Trinity, Empyrean Age, and Quantum Rise) and it is, without a doubt, the expansion with the biggest immediate impact on me and how I play so far.

Just Mail Me The ISK Next Time
I noticed that somebody bought a good part of my Bloodclaw light missiles from adjacent systems. 260,000 missiles went at 18 ISK each, and another 200,000 went at 20 ISK. That is 8.68 million ISK in light missile sales in in just a couple of buys. Very profitable for me, at least as a percentag...

Rewards and More Training
You get a storyline mission in EVE Online after you complete 16 regular missions. The rewards for storyline missions are usually significant both in cash and items as well as in the increase in standings you get with the faction that offers you the mission. I have gotten many valuable impl...

Sailing the River Styx
Posted in entertainment, EVE Online Tagged: Charon, freighter, Mammoth One of the things I did before I went into my holiday EVE Online lull was put up a series of buy orders out in a few more remote regions of space for ore. It was veldspar mostly, but also kernite and omber. And those...

ISK - Even Easier To Buy
Posted in entertainment, EVE Online Tagged: CCP, ISK, RMT CCP has introduced PLEX, the 30 day Pilot License EXtension. It is essentially a 30 Day EVE Online game time card that has a physical manifestation in the game. (Or a virtual physical manifestation, I guess.) That means you can...

Vengeance is Ours, and Veldspar Too

November in Review
I was hoping to have some more EVE Online Blog Pack profiles to post, but that Crazy Kinux has been jet setting around with the “Who’s Who” of the EVE Online world. I hope we’ll get back to that this month. I was going on about MMOs on a single server again, focusing on EVE Online and why its unique...

Sizing Up a Vulture
EVE is a game of long term goals, and I had no other plans for my alt in any case. Posted in entertainment, EVE Online Tagged: Command Ships, Drake, EVE Fitting Tool, EVEMon, Vulture The wonder of EVE is not only figuring out what you want to do, but then figuring out how you get there, how...

Battlecruiser Alt
I thought for a while about letting him go up the assault ship path to a heavy interdictor just to try something new. I thought it would be an interesting change. But then I decided that was probably more ISK than I wanted to spend on an alt.

EVE Blog Pack Profile: Morphisat
What do you want people to know about EVE: Eve really is a ‘virtual world’. Your character is living in this world and trying to make a living. You have to set goals for yourself and go out and find some fun people to hang out with (the corp recruitement part of the eve-o forum helps with that). Set s...

15 Years of TorilMUD
A new set of MMOs came out that drew people away. Some of us went to EverQuest II, more went to WoW, and a few are even lurking in EVE Online, but the memories remain. The guild names you see me write about here are often reflections of the Toril guild I was in, Shades of Twilight.

Making Some ISK
I can answer for how I have made ISK so far in the game: What other ways are there to make ISK? What professions out there turn a profit? Once in a while somebody makes a bad assumption and thinks I have deeper knowledge of EVE Online tha

Hauling Trash, In Style
The economic path in EVE Online can involve an annoying amount moving stuff to and fro. Buy orders to be collected. Production to be distributed. Pricing to be checked and modified. So I named it after my wife! The economic path in EVE Online can involve an annoying amount moving stuff to and...

September in Review
In addition to a second anniversary, the site also crossed the 400,000 page view mark. If I had an ISK for every page view… I’d be pretty poor in EVE Online. EVE Online Wii Coming Up Tales of Warhammer no doubt, as the instance group delves into the game, plus the usual updates about EVE Online.

August in Review
I won something in a contest! A Warp Drive Active Shirt! I still haven’t been to any sort of EVE Online event where it would impress people however. CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Petursson stirred up the “why so much fantasy?” discussion about MMOs and I put out my own views, to which I now just link b...

Worlds Collide... With Me
The EVE Online mission "Worlds Collide" and I have a history. Almost two years ago, when I first started playing EVE Online, I was given "Worlds Collide" as a mission. At least you get a booby prize for uninsured ships. I got a 45 million ISK pay out for an uninsured Raven. Who says EVE is hard core?

The Secure Commerce Commission Needs Teeth!
Highway robbery is a valid economic proposal in EVE Online! The scheme is more than a little dubious as people make alts, train them up just enough to be effective, gank away until they lose enough security status to no longer be useful, then roll another alt.

Moves, Mining, and Missions
Meanwhile, feeling the lure of alphabetically superior ore and million ISK rats, Gaff has been on the lookout for a corp that can get us 0.0 access. He has left the Twilight Cadre (something that took 26 hours because he had a "role" in the corp... I tried to evict him from the corp and found my dicta...

Return of the Drake
It turned out that I had a lot more assets in EVE Online than I thought. It turns out that some of them are worth real ISK. ("Real," as defined by me, is over 1 million ISK.) And then I brought my miner out of retirement and managed to add another 100 million ISK to the pot in about a week.

The Fifty Day Cap
One of the nice things about production in EVE Online is that you do not have to be there for it. Production there is at the polar opposite of the way it works in EverQuest II, where you must actively (or proactively if you want pristine results) participate in the crafting whack-a-mole mini g...

September in Review
One year since I started up EVE Online... at least for the first time. EVE Online Lost a few cruisers, mined a lot of ore, and trained, trained, trained. EVE feeds an obsessive compulsive need within me when it comes to training. It is very rare for me to let any time elapse without a skill training.

I Have Seen EVE on a Mac
The EVE Online interface seems to benefit quite a bit from a wide screen monitor. It spreads things out just a bit more, giving you a better view through the middle of the stuff that tends to clutter about the periphery of the EVE Online window.

Single Server Theory
One of the very cool things about EVE Online is that everybody plays on the same server. EVE Online has some things going for it that allow them the luxury of a single production server. CCP rightfully claims to have the biggest MMO universe going.

Revelation Tutorial - Part III
So with the end of the tutorial missions, that is the end of my tutorial overview. I had previously been sent to Ochishi Veilai at Jouvulen III - Science and Trade Institute School for a continuation of the tutorial missions. When I arrived, Ochishi started me on another 10 part series of mis...
