I logged in Heluene last night having cloned to find a route to pull through some loot to hisec. I had quite a bit to shift (in isk value) and wasn't willing to risk a long chain of connections, so I gave it up as a bad job and decided to do a little scanning … Continue reading Escape from Solitude…

It's been a very quiet EVE week. I had every intention of playing quite a bit, but life has a way of distracting and diverting you. What started as a great weekend last Friday, having seen my rota for the coming seven days, quickly turned into a nightmare. I was unceremoniously dumped with being on … Continue reading Tumbleweed…

Another day, another wormhole... and I'm still not bored, there's always something to see or someone to do (or be done, of course). Lots of PVE for me this morning, taking advantage of a quiet constellation whilst everyone's asleep. My children were occupied with screen time, so I figured I'd join in. I made just … Continue reading Inject for success, maybe…

Just a quick trip out in the Vital Spark this evening. Literally one jump into the next system and into a wandering C3. I've spent much of the evening on my alt running calm and agitated Abyss sites for the first time. I really like the Dark ones, and the ambience is incredible. I'll be … Continue reading Paying it forward…

It was hard to EVE today. Weekends always are. For the first time in longer than I can remember I've had a few days off work in a row. Yesterday was spent with the kids visiting a local animal sanctuary and buying them clothes for our pending vacation. Today was chores day, and in between … Continue reading Nothing Ventured…

I've temporarily relocated to Solitude. Not for any particular reason other than a desire to see places that I haven't seen for many years. Most of my formative years were spent out here, exploiting the riches that a low population offers. Sadly now it's not as quiet, but I've been having fun making some isk, … Continue reading A little alone time…

This evening started in a pretty mundane fashion. I had shopping to do and things to sell, so I stripped down the worm I 'stole' from the wormhole a few days ago, piled up my exploration loot and headed to Amarr to put up a few market orders and offload some salvage. I also wanted … Continue reading Profit and loss…

After a gruelling 30hr shift at work, I returned home to spend some time with the children and squeeze in at least an hour of EVE time. I work away from home a lot so I value these times, and as such some personal pleasures have to give way. My wife is also very understanding … Continue reading Ambition is critical…

Morning guys. I'm at work this morning so just a quick, no-frills update. Following on from my last post, I was thrilled to receive a response from Apollo Lemmont, the unlucky Magnate pilot I engaged with. Apollo was kind enough to provide me with his perspective on the lead up to our engagement and its … Continue reading A victim’s perspective…

Yes yes, I know, I was leaving for the night... I got a pass for a few hours so I decided to go and make some isk on a whim. Not happy with the idea of screwing around in lowsec for hours on end for minimal gain and the slim chance of bagging an explorer, … Continue reading A little aside…
