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 was a little concerned when I bought my new computer a few months back. It was an expensive purchase and was replacing what was essentially a World of Warcraft arcade machine. As I had been burning out on a regular basis I wasn't sure I could fully ...

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 ...

I boarded my brand new Caracal cruiser last night, christening it Tiger Lily. It has comfy seats, an iPod connector for the stereo, and what a capacitor! No three-pronged effort here, but a Catherine Wheel of brightly lit energy, teasing me to try to drain all that power. ...

I resisted temptation no longer and subscribed to EVE Online over the weekend, after having enjoyed the two-week trial period. Even though I am already playing World of Warcraft and City of Villains I was drawn to being a space cadet and the skill-based system that EVE Online offers. ...

My trial period for EVE Online has ended. I didn't get to be a space cadet this week, although the nature of the game still allows for quick resource gathering via mining, or a slightly longer but still manageably short single mission to be run, which I managed a ...
