Despite being new enough in the region that few agents are willing to give me any work, and the recent loss of the mining colony, my lowly level one agent strokes my ego by praising my piloting skills before inviting me to participate in a Minmatar-Gallente air show. As ...

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. ...

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 ...
