EVE Online informational snippets

Monday, August 11th, 2008

It's time to reveal a few more minor functional details that I have discovered recently in EVE Online. The tactical overlay extends a line from your ship to your current selected target. If this target is outside of targeting range the overlay will draw a cross on the surface of ...

Deadspace reconnaissance

Monday, August 11th, 2008

My agent sends me on an important mission, asking me to recon some deadspace complexes to see if they are safe for transit for a convoy, or if pirates or mercenaries would hinder operations. With him offering a huge 476,000 ISK mission reward I throw myself out of dock barely ...

Cruising to mine

Friday, August 8th, 2008

I had read somewhere previously about finding ores rarer than normally found in a system existing in deadspace whilst on missions, and had found some omber of my own recently. In that instance, I took my Caracal home to Jita, dusted off my mining Bantam frigate and went back ...

Concluding Technological Secrets

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

The explosion-damping module is fitted, the heavy launcher is swapped out for a fourth assault launcher, all launchers are fully loaded with Bloodclaw missiles for kinetic damage; I'm ready to end the Minmatar threat I was made aware of in the level two mission Technological Secrets. The Minmatar ships are converging ...

Technological Secrets

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

My agent in EVE Online gives me an important level two mission. Codenamed Technological Secrets I am to find and capture a rebel captain, which means fighting off a few waves of his mercenaries first. I am going to encounter Minmatar ships again, so I keep the Ladar ...

Level two combat missions continue

Friday, August 1st, 2008

After my introduction to level two missions in EVE Online I contact my agent to pick up another couple of missions, now that he trusts me enough to offer me the decent jobs. Before I take any new assignments I hit the market and look at different launchers, after ...

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 ...

Making money ...in space!

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Penny Ibramovic, space cadet, has been happy dealing with the two agents in Perimeter so far. Quite how I got to Perimeter in the first place is not remembered, and probably simply the result of ending up there after the tutorial agent got bored with me. Despite having ...

When Worlds Collide successfully

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

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 ...

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 ...
