Penny Abramovic's Salvaging Enterprise is continuing quite nicely. The recent recovery of two alloyed tritanium bars and three melted capacitor consoles amongst all the wrecks, which just happened to be floating in space near my Caracal with the smoking launchers, made over two million ISK alone, and that was ...

I mentioned before about trying to find out some intelligence on the enemy ships I am fighting in EVE Online, but didn't really make much progress of my own. I tried finding some ship scanners to help me inspect the systems of the ships for valuable data, and looked ...

I worked out that what I had thought was a graphical glitch in EVE Online is in fact a useful feature of the tactical overlay. When I had the tactical overlay displayed and was activating various modules I was getting some changes in intensity of the overlay, and didn't ...

I made what must be a noob mistake in EVE Online. When I first became a capsuleer I trained in the learning skill, remember others mentioning its importance, as it reduces training times for all other skills. My training in the Caldari military had also given me a ...

It's a good thing that the wrecks of spaceships are generally tougher than the spaceships themselves. For example, they can take a missile blast from close range without disintegrating.
In perhaps related news, I need to remember which button in the cockpit activates the launchers and which activates the salvager ...

It could really have been just an ordinary evening spent in EVE Online last night. I flew a few missions, salvaged some modules, made some ISK. There doesn't seem to be too much to report on. The most interesting event of the evening seemed to occur during ...

Last night I got my salvager on-line. After training the mechanic skill to level three, buying the skill book for the survey skill and training that to level three, then spending a cool 919,000 ISK for the salvaging skill book itself and training the first level, I was finally ready ...
