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 ...

I am convinced that I need Damnation. Well, a Damnation, the Amarr command ship, for wormhole engineers fleet operations. Apparently, the bonuses it gives would be quite suited to our current fleet options, but I am swayed when I see its crow-like black-on-black hull. The Damnation is ...

I have seen the video trailer for DUST 514, the forthcoming first-person shooter (FPS) based on the EVE Online MMORPG. I'm not terribly impressed. My first impression is that it is, indeed, a first-person shooter. But, oh my, look at those huge spaceships shooting powerful weapons at ...

I really like the Crane. I borrow Kename Fin's when she's not looking, and when she's around pretend I couldn't possibly borrow it in a reverse-psychology manoeuvre that naturally ends up with me zooming across the galaxy at hugely impressive warp speeds. It warps faster than a shuttle, ...

I finally get my first rigs fitted to a ship. I have been aware of their benefits for quite a while, just as I have been aware of their multi-million ISK costs. As much as I would like a significant boost to my shield recharge time on my ...

When looking for materials for my manufacturing runs I have previously found a stash of minerals for sale at a bargain price, whereupon I snap up the entire stock, take what I need to use, and sell the surplass back on the market at a marked-up price. This gets ...
