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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

After my introduction to level two missions in EVE Online I contact my agent to pick up another couple of missions, now that he trusts me enough to offer me the decent jobs. Before I take any new assignments I hit the market and look at different launchers, after ...

Penny Ibramovic checked out of space station Haatamo to jump to strange new systems, to seek out new agents and new clusters of rats to kill, to boldly go where everyone else has been some years before me. My choice of agents offering me level two missions first took ...
