Dominion is upon us
Having arrived at my temporary home in Massachusetts, I must say, I forgot how cold it was up here in the morning. Luckily I was greeted with some news to warm me up a little (the coffee didn’t hurt either). CCP Games has announced the latest expansion for EVE Online and it will be named Dominion....

Harnessing the power of Dust, Part 1: Dreams
Cross platform play has been a buzzword of sorts as the expansion of network technology, console technology, and the desire for gamers to challenge opponents anywhere in the world on any platform moves closer to reality. Taking a leap in that direction, CCP Games recently announced the c...

Why leave highsec? It's cozy here and they have ale.
It is a shame that more players aren’t motivated to move out there. 0.0 is fun, but an entirely different game. Granted, the gamers play the game as they see fit, and nothing is forcing you out there. However, the notion that one can simply walk into 0.0 is folly. It takes time, effort, and motivatio...

The Stealth Bomber could get a new launch bay
As the development of EVE Online progresses, balance issues plague game mechanics and the pilots who use (or abuse) them. Most memorable to this capsuleer was the nano-nerf, a fix that took nearly every ship in the galaxy and tweaked speed to bring the super speed tanked nano-vessels back...

Is faction warfare dead?
When Quantum Rise hit our screen for the first time, players of EVE Online finally received one of the demands they had been pestering CCP for since launch. The major empires were going to war! A beautiful cut scene showed us the escalation of hostilities, as a Gallente Mothership plowed in...

Apocrypha, just not feeling it
As EVE Online: Apocrypha moves to within 24 hours of launch, blogs blaze with screenshots, guides, and tips. There are Apocrypha training videos for eager pilots wishing to get a head start. There are oodles of wiki updates and a plethora of discussion over at Scrapheap Challenge. Yet beyon...

Band of Brothers falls to hack or brilliant Goonscam?
Now now, before you burst out with tears of joy at the demise of BoB, there are some things we need to consider. The act may have been foul play since claims by Elitus of Reikoko hint at a possible hack. “Log shows 500 mil was removed from the wallet stating, ‘mittani says hi’.” Who the heck is Mitta...

My roam with the Pirate Queen
Pirates, according to M. Tullius Cicero, were hostis humani generis, the enemies of all mankind. Their swashbuckling, killing, and stealing have been a bane to society for thousands of years. Yet their freedom of spirit and anti-establishment demeanor have been qualities romanticized...

Patch: EVE client getting a boost...again
As claimed by Mr. Bjarnason, “Quantum Rise 1.0.3 the EVE Online client will be by far the best performing piece of software ever constructed in the entire history of mankind :-)” I certainly hope so, more so for his sake than my sake since the forums are a dangerous place to make such claims. Perf...

Blog Banter - Enduring Allure
Sitting in a cold and dark room for months on end, reading the same magazine article concerning a game I had never heard of drove me stir crazy. It was called EVE Online, and I was captivated by a world in which limits are only as high as you want to set them. No rails, just pure sand for players to di...

Foreign policy in EVE
The grand alliances (BoB, Goon, Morsus Mihi, and Against All Authorities), whether they realize it or not, are taking an approach to their neighbors that the real world has dabbled in before. The two styles of policy some might be familiar with are raison d'etat and realpolitik. The two con...
