Being out of w-space for a while, as I buy and fit a new Drake, a quick check shows that my level four R&D agents have been beavering away creating datacores for me. The number of datacores available to be bought bodes well for further invention attempts leading to ...

Even though it is a relatively simple matter of buying a new battlecruiser, back in high-sec, and fitting it out with identical modules, losing my Drake to Sleepers has the unfortunate effect of causing an irrational concern over the quality of the passive shield I am running. I pause ...

Ever since the corporation's first excursion in to and return from w-space there have been eager scouts scanning down systems looking for the next potential wormhole system in which to set up base. Ideally, the wormhole will lead to a certain class of w-space system, one that is challenging ...

I knew I should have kept more, but I panicked! Buying over five times as much mexallon as I need for a manufacturing run, hoping to sell the mineral back to the market to offset its rising price, gets me quite worried that I have been hasty in my ...
