Hello Spacefriends! So this is going to be an extremely personal and reflective post. It goes into significant personal details that I have never shared with people other than my wife, however I feel the time has now come for me to tell this story. Given how much the eve community has supported us over … Continue reading Becoming Me
How to Conduct Research 101
The events on Twitter over the last few weeks have had all the hallmarks of a trainwreck - I know I shouldn't watch but just can't look away. And now we have the recent "disclosure" by an individual within the community that their (for lack of a better word) "toxic" behaviour was deliberately designed to … Continue reading How to Conduct Research 101
What is Wrong with High Sec?
Everywhere I look at the moment, Eve discussions tend to centre around one specific topic - High Sec is broken. If it is, then it is time to finally show my ignorance and actually ask the question "Why is High Sec broken?" Make no mistake - this is not a post about me outlining all … Continue reading What is Wrong with High Sec?
Photographing the Cosmos
At the beginning of last year I set myself a challenge, something I never thought I'd actually be able to accomplish. I began a 365 photography project. Take a photo everyday for a whole year. I'd always had a passing interest in photography but was really at the "beginner" level. I dusted off the dSLR … Continue reading Photographing the Cosmos
A Year and a Journey
*This post is a bit different to what I would normally write, focusing more on the personal goings on in my life in recent times. I began my Eve Online journey back in 2013, a couple of months before the Rubicon expansion came out. At the time I was living in a remote country town … Continue reading A Year and a Journey
An Unexpected Expedition
It was meant to be a shake down cruise for the crew and capsuleer of the Celestial Being after so long away. Fifteen jumps and the intention to investigate any cosmic signatures or anomalies that showed up on scan. If it also meant taking out a few Serpentis goons along the way then all the … Continue reading An Unexpected Expedition
Getting back into the swing of things
"What the fuck did you do to this ship?!?" Clearly the docking foreman was about to have his work cut out for him. https://i.imgur.com/jpeGYOv.png "Relax will you. It's just a couple of scrapes and your the best there is. I'm just a bit rusty after so long out of the pod is all," explained Kailii. … Continue reading Getting back into the swing of things
Waiting in Station…
The alarm ringing in her ear, Kailii groggily sat up in her bed and reached out to turn it off. Another day was about to begin. Outside her quarters she could make out the sounds of the night shift workers coming home while the day shifters prepared for the work ahead them. A far cry … Continue reading Waiting in Station…
Well that escalated quickly
Despite stepping away from Eve a couple of weeks ago, I've found myself still touching base with the community (some friendships are hard to leave behind). I watched in mild amusement as reddit got mad over changes to the play styles of the 1% of the 1% (just remember folks - real capsuleers would biomass … Continue reading Well that escalated quickly
Moving on (for now)
Sometimes an idea for a post rattles in my head for days, sometimes even weeks. Right up front, with is me saying farewell to New Eden (who knows for how long though). That's right - as amazing as this game is, and more importantly the community that surrounds it, it is time for me to … Continue reading Moving on (for now)
