A return to known space

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

The main problem with living out in w-space, away from the known regions of New Eden, is that there can be little to do by oneself. There is no regional market or stations, which means no buying and selling or manufacture of goods, and no agents to talk to ...

The most dangerous game

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

The sleepers don't seem so tough. They may be more diligent in determining active threats and keen to pop drones but our simple two-man fleet recently managed to defeat a few waves of frigates, cruisers and battleships, and when we were bolstered with another fleet member we sailed through ...

Engaging sleepers in w-space

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Waking up in w-space puts me rather an unfamiliar position, and not just relative to the rest of the galaxy. Being away from normal space, and the market, agents and stargates that I have taken for granted so far, I find that I am entirely reliant on my corporation ...

Boldly going where I haven't gone before

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

I can be quite timid at times and I know I am too shy for my own good, despite how it can appear in communication channels, which explains in part my adventures in New Eden being almost exclusively in high-sec and mostly solo. I also know that I really ...

Stripping rocks of ore

Monday, June 15th, 2009

I am still working for my Core Complexion, Inc. agent, still with the aim of raising my standings with that corporation. It has been so long since I started doing this I had better remind myself that it is for the purpose of Tech II production, where getting access ...

Clone jumping sounds incestuous

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Dissuading a ranking Gallente officer from taking a position best suited to a friend of my Caldari Navy agent, with the liberal use of heavy missiles, was the last mission I accepted before heading back to mine some ice for Core Complexion, Inc. Not only was it quite a ...

Blue lasers of icy death

Monday, June 8th, 2009

My Core Complexion, Inc. agent is probably wondering where I am. He asked me to get him some ice within twenty four hours and it has been almost a week since I undocked. I'll simply claim I took a wrong turn at the stargate, he'll probably believe me. ...

Finding the meaning in the colour of the places I've been

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Kirith Kodachi's Places I've Been meme has been picked up by many people, giving an insight in to how capsuleers move around New Eden. Unfortunately, also picked up by many players is the idea that the colour of the dots on the galaxy map represents the frequency of visits, ...

Returning to the navy

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

I am currently avoiding my Core Complexion, Inc. agent after he asked me to get him some ice quite promptly and I end up distracting myself with three days of skill training before I can help him out. I am not one to sit around idly waiting for my ...

Ice mine

Monday, June 1st, 2009

'Get me some ice, would you Penny?', asks my Core Complexion, Inc. agent. Uh, will do, guvnor. I'm not sure why his secretary can't handle such a request until I find out he wants more than a couple of cubes for his daiquiri, ten thousand cubic metres of ...
