It was quite exciting to find that my standings with the Caldari Navy had increased to the point where I could move on from my high quality level two agent to accept my first level three mission. The level three agent only enjoyed a quality level of -18, but ...

Having gained enough of a standing with the Caldari Navy to contact agents offering level three missions I accepted my first level three mission recently. I just as quickly warped out of my first level three mission, limping back to a station to repair extensive armour and hull damage, ...

Earlier I wrote that there was no way I was going to take my brand new Drake out of the hangar without getting it insured, and that was indeed the plan. It would have been the height of foolishness to pilot a brand new ship without having any means ...

Coming out of dock from Perimeter station I hear sounds of a firefight. This isn't as uncommon as I would have expected in high-sec space, but it is still a little concerning when powerful ships decide to battle it out in front of a heavily populated space station. ...

Mission running for the Caldari Navy has my standing increasing steadily, and with it I am able to move up in quality of agents. From the negative quality level two agents I have proved myself capable or working for a level two agent of quality 16. This gives ...
