Spending ISK to make ISK

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Changing my direction from being a capsuleer only running PvE missions to industrialist requires some retraining. It couldn't come at a better time, having just been awarded the Elite Caldari Special Forces certificate, effectively completing my first career. I feel somewhat accomplished, particularly as I never made it ...

Finding my new focus

Monday, January 19th, 2009

I have considered my options of a direction to take in EVE Online and am grateful for the feedback received. I don't think I can participate in much active PvP, but this is not because I am nervous about losing my ship. Even though there is more of a time ...

Battlecruiser vs. NPC battleship

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Having interrupted a diplomatic exchange by blowing up one of the emissaries the two factions are rather aggravated. With one diplomatic vessel not even scratched during the attack the other faction is suspicious of their involvement. Now my agent tells me it is time to drive home the ...

Driving an initial wedge

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

I call on my agent and he has some work for me. 'Cadet Ibramovic, would you do us a favour and blow up a diplomat?' Sure thing. Wait, what? It's as if he's been eavesdropping on my thoughts, as I've been looking for something a little ...

Pondering my options

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

I've been running a few level three missions in EVE Online, taking my Drake out for some explosive action and coincidentally earning back some of the thirty million ISK I paid for my new chip implants. Despite a slightly shaky return to level three missions my ship can take ...

Keeping track of EVE Online skill training with Capsuleer

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

The new certificate system and planner in EVE Online offers a far more interactive and engaging method of character progression than the basic character sheet skill interface. The character sheet is still there and remains the tool for selecting which skills to train but the certificate system and planner ...

More plans for skill training and certificates

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

My first mission back as a lone capsuleer in high-sec goes smoothly, even though I find I need to relearn some aspects of combat, so I hassle my agent for more work. In-between picking up missions, blowing up everything in a deadspace pocket and salvaging dozens of wrecks I ...

A return to level three missions

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Trying desperately not to repeat myself, I made the journey back home to Caldari space, got my mission-running and salvaging ships to an agent's station, and set a skill training that would take around a week to complete, thus stopping me from poking around the EVE Online certificate planner, at ...

Preparing to restart level three missions

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

I wake myself up and jump in to my pod, punching virtual buttons to work out where I left myself after coming home to Caldari space. I see an available agent on my station contact list and one ship and one shuttle in the hangar. I quickly assume ...

Using EVE Online's certificate system

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Having quit my corporation in EVE Online I am now back in Caldari space with my options open. Wondering if I should take time to learn more about armour tanking or gunnery skills I examine my learnt skills and look what I could improve, also checking the market to ...
