I'm waiting near a wormhole. I may be polarised, but I haven't checked yet. I've been more concerned with evading a couple of assault frigates, who worryingly seem to be more than a match for my strategic cruiser. But at least I have a cloaking device. I can watch from ...

There have been no invasions for X days. Super! Aii tells me that we have our static wormhole and an inbound connection that's at the end of its life, but that he hasn't been further than that yet. That's cool, although the corporate bookmarks look like yesterday's. Then again, that's ...

I'm out looking for activity, and hoping to find more than yesterday. I suppose that shouldn't be difficult, as a single moving ship will do the trick. A second signature in the home system isn't going to offer any help, being a mere ladar site, so I resolve the static ...

Leaving the class 3 w-space system for high-sec takes me to a system in Metropolis, and puts me close to nothing. The Mammoth hauler that returned to C3a must have had a long trip, or paid over the odds for the silos he brought home. But that capsuleer's gone off-line, ...

I'm taking time to make an afternoon reconnaissance of w-space, hopefully laying the groundwork for later ambushes. Or spacework. Either way, I start as I always do by scanning the home system. All looks normal and I resolve our static wormhole, letting me jump to our neighbouring class 3 system. ...

I'm going out to roam, and I'm not alone. Another scout is ahead of me in his Proteus strategic cruiser, looking for targets. The three class 4 w-space systems linked as a chain to our home system are quiet, the C5 further along only showing a glimmer of ...

We only have two systems to explore currently, I am told. Our static connection leads in to a class 4 system as usual, but that system's static wormhole is at the end of its natural life and prevents us looking further afield for action or an exit. I ...

When Worlds Collide, the mission that lost me three ships, came up again from an agent. The same agent, in fact. I imagine the survivors in the Heron wreck were getting a bit peckish by now. Even though my last attempt had been unsuccessful I accepted the ...

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 ...

Taking advantage of the 14 day free trail of EVE Online, I downloaded the Mac-native client and logged in. I created my first character, picking my way through each step of the creation process as carefully as I could, having almost no knowledge of the game. I ended ...
