A class 3 w-space system full of signatures appears on the other side of a wormhole, enticing the engineers to pay a visit and drag home cargo holds full of profit. I enter the system with a colleague and we both start scanning the system to get a lock ...

I'm not available for long, so I log-in to update my skill queue, adding a couple of minor but useful skills at the end. The extra skills are just enough a delay to extend my training so that my current skill can end and I can start learning a ...

Dominion patch 1.0.2 for EVE Online has been deployed, and the patch notes give me some reassurance that I'll be able to pilot through New Eden without exploding my client. Now I need to steel my resolve, get back in to my pod, and reconfigure just about every setting ...

It has been six months since Kirith Kodachi instigated a wide-scale stalking campaign. When I participate and post a map of my most visited systems in New Eden it is not long since joining my current corporation. With only a short stint in a PvP corporation and plenty ...

There is still not much to find in our home w-space system. This makes finding the wormhole to the neighbouring C3 system quick, and I poke the nose of my borrowed frigate through to see what is on the other side. First, I bookmark the wormhole itself, as ...
