Salvaging on-line

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Last night I got my salvager on-line. After training the mechanic skill to level three, buying the skill book for the survey skill and training that to level three, then spending a cool 919,000 ISK for the salvaging skill book itself and training the first level, I was finally ready ...

Screen grabs in EVE Online Mac

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

I wrote before about how the keymapping for screen grabs in EVE Online is locked but makes no sense for the Mac version. The only solution I found was a general hint simply referring to the in-built screen grab mechanism in OS X, which is to hit Cmd-Shift-3. I already ...

Sucked in to space

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I got a bit caught up in EVE Online last night. Unfortunately, it wasn't because I was making such good progress. I got caught up because my ship kept on getting blown up. I made contact with a couple of new agents after I had completed the Cash for ...
