Damnation test flight

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

W-space beckons my new Damnation. The new connecting w-space system to our own leads out to high-sec space, so it is an easy journey to pilot Bad Badtz Maru to the corporation tower. So far, though, all I have done is fit the Damnation and fly it through ...

Melting arkonor

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Arkonor can really glow! Granted, at least one of the capsuleers needs to have impeccable mining skills, and perhaps just the right camera angle is needed, but pulsing strip miners on two Retrievers and a full complement of drones results in an impressive light show. If there were ...

Mining Badger

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Running missions for production agents unsurprisingly turns up the occasional challenge to mine some rocks floating in space. I take my Retriever out to the deadspace complex, and my corporation colleague comes along in a, uh, okay. A certain someone may be in denial about losing her Hulk. I ...

Jane's Guide to the Starships in New Eden

Friday, August 21st, 2009

As another mining expedition in w-space comes to an end, with more than a few jet-cans full of exotic ores transported back to the corporation's tower, a lone capsuleer appears on the local communication channel. In w-space, no one appears in the local channel until they openly broadcast, which ...

Back in the pocket

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Operations continue in the w-space system we have declared our own, undeterred by occasional losses, even if they are unsettling. It is all a learning experience and as long as we continue to adapt we will be successful and profitable in the rich w-space environment. Despite the loss ...

A shock to the system

Monday, August 10th, 2009

It's quiet in the w-space system. Too quiet. But then another engineer turns up at the tower and we decide to strike hard at some of the more exotic asteroids lurking in one of the gravimetric sites. The rather large arkonor asteroid that was in the site ...

Stripping rocks of ore

Monday, June 15th, 2009

I am still working for my Core Complexion, Inc. agent, still with the aim of raising my standings with that corporation. It has been so long since I started doing this I had better remind myself that it is for the purpose of Tech II production, where getting access ...

Blue lasers of icy death

Monday, June 8th, 2009

My Core Complexion, Inc. agent is probably wondering where I am. He asked me to get him some ice within twenty four hours and it has been almost a week since I undocked. I'll simply claim I took a wrong turn at the stargate, he'll probably believe me. ...

Ice mine

Monday, June 1st, 2009

'Get me some ice, would you Penny?', asks my Core Complexion, Inc. agent. Uh, will do, guvnor. I'm not sure why his secretary can't handle such a request until I find out he wants more than a couple of cubes for his daiquiri, ten thousand cubic metres of ...

Wintergrasp mining risks and rewards

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Wintergrasp is not just a zone for a regular PvP battle, it persists outside of the battle times. It isn't quite an 80th level zone in its own right, as there is no standard quest hub or paths in to the area, but there are NPC mobs extant outside ...
