Further to my previous post about Penumbra, the Caldari Epic mission arc, I’m pleased to report I managed to complete the saga without the predicted loss of my battleship. Even better news was the total profits. If I was a ‘proper’ EVE player, I’d be able to give you an Read more…
Every now and then, I bounce around in our favourite space sandbox looking for the next thing to try. This time I settled on trying out one of the Epic mission arcs. All the talk lately has been about the new pirate faction interceptor-friendly ones, but as I’m still only Read more…
The Comparison In the violent universe of EVE, there are two main ways for a capsuleer to inflict said violence; turret-mounted guns and missile launchers.

He wrote this account of his experience: 5:25The Alarm goes off at 05:25. I quickly turn it off Read more…
As a follow-up to my previous blog about a TREAD Alliance fleet operation I took part in, shortly after I had the good fortune to catch up with the Fleet Commander, known publicly as ‘Boris’. He was kind enough to give me the inside track on operation organisation and the Read more…
