Taking the hits

Monday, September 8th, 2008

It is time to deal with a pirate invasion. This is the kind of straightforward mission I like to get from my agent, and my agent seems keen to offer me this kind of work. Go out and blow up some rats, she says. It takes all ...

Guristas Extravaganza!

Friday, September 5th, 2008

My level three agent in EVE Online has another mission for me, tantalisingly named 'Guristas Extravaganza'. It sounds more like a codename for a lavish party held for some guests of honour, instead of brutally destroying the ships of an opposing faction. Thankfully, it turned out to be ...

Swifter salvaging …in space!

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Having bought Flycatcher, my Cormorant destroyer, and fitted it out with tractor beams and salvaging modules I have been able to zoom around clearing up the trail of the dead left by Coiled Snake, my Drake battlecruiser. Since the first couple of flights taken on behalf of Penny Ibramovic's ...

The Repair Station

Monday, September 1st, 2008

In working to clear The Blockade I wore myself out a little in EVE Online. From picking it up as my first level three mission and finding I had to beat a hasty retreat, to striving to afford a Drake and fittings in order to stand any chance of ...

Clearing up The Blockade

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

In a concentrated effort, I managed to run and complete my first level three mission, The Blockade, before it expired. It took buying and fitting a Drake battlecruiser, several retreats to recharge my shields and repair some scorch marks to my armour, and around 3,000 heavy missiles in total ...

The Blockade

Monday, August 25th, 2008

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, ...

The race is on!

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

I need a few million ISK to insure and fit my Drake before trying to complete my first level three mission, which will default to failure within a day. It's lucky there are rats all over the region, as my agent is keen to give me as much work ...

Caracal down

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

My plan to complete my first level three mission before it lapses to a default failure is looking more likely, which is surprising considering that I went back to the deadspace pocket with my Caracal and a plan. It was, in retrospect, a feeble plan, but I thought I ...

Stupid drones

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

You can't keep Kruul down. He just keeps on getting clones revived and can't help but kidnap damsels. It's a good argument for genetics. It's lucky that I worked out he only calls for help from elite mercenaries when directly attacked, relying only on his rather less ...

Cloaked and daggered

Monday, August 18th, 2008

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 ...
