Capsuleer mobile skill tracking

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

In my overview of portable EVE Online skil tracking last week I mentioned how I wasn't able to get Capsuleer running, only trying EVE Tracker as a result. I will point out again that it was only because I had shut down my computer and didn't want to power ...

Moving module icons on the HUD in EVE Online

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Back when I first took on The Blockade I noticed that some of my modules appeared in the HUD in different positions than expected after installing them in the fitting station interface. I was expecting them to increment on the HUD from left to right as they were fitted ...

Entering corporate life in EVE Online

Friday, October 17th, 2008

I am now a member of a corporation in EVE Online, one that isn't state owned even. After all the drama when looking for a corporation previously I log back in to find I hadn't previously exited from a couple of the recruitment channels, remaining in them by default. ...

Bringing home the scientist

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

My agent is happy with the Green Arisite ore I was able to acquire, particularly as it meant a different faction was denied the ore resource as a result. Now he wants me to find a particular scientist, saying something about him being an AI specialist. I probably ...

Portable EVE Online skill tracking

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

I recently downloaded EVE Tracker to my iPod Touch to be able to keep track of my character's skill training in EVE Online on the portable device. I'm not entirely sure of the application's utility, because if I'm not near a computer when the training completes there is little ...

New Frontiers: Raw Materials

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

My agent asks me to mine some Green Arisite, a variant of the Gneiss mineral, for a new research project. There a catch in that the ore can only generally be found in low-sec systems. I ponder this for a minute, as going in to a low-sec system ...

Still not in an EVE Online corporation

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

I'm having a difficult time trying to find a place for myself in New Eden. I had applied to one corporation but the time zone difference has meant that I have yet to be on-line at the same time as the recruiting officer, and I really don't feel like ...

Silence the Informant

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

'You want me to blow up someone's ship in a huge fireball that ensures no survivors, and pay me handsomely for doing so? Sir, do you have a newsletter, because I am intrigued by your ideas and want to subscribe to it.' Agents don't buy people's silence through bribery, they ...

On clones and losing skill points

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

All the skill training I've been doing in EVE Online has been pushing the limits of my fragile brain. Well, okay, maybe not my brain but certainly that of my clone, and I am quite fond of my clone, she's like a sister to me. It is time ...

Getting to Jita

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

There have been many times where I have wanted to stay away from Jita because of the problems caused by the sheer number of ships in the system. But however much I am able to stay away from the system there is the occasional reason to visit the busiest ...
