The Eve Tutorial Tutorial, Part 2

I’ve had a very busy few weeks, but have had this at the back of my mind the entire time, and I’ve been eager to get back to it. So before I forget where we were at, let’s pick up right where we left off… It’s now February 22nd, 2014, in Rubicon 1.2.2. 09: Training […]

The Eve Tutorial Tutorial, Part 1

I wanted to do something more practical as a followup to my recent Eve for Noobs posting, so as an experiment I’m going to create a new character and run through the game’s tutorial with an eye towards explaining in more detail what the game does not, or perhaps simply rewording where I feel the […]

The Goings On, February 1st

As usual, I haven’t had a ton of time to play lately, however I do have my HDD situation resolved, a fresh (clean!) install of Windows, and a new 32″ monitor setup. Despite not actually playing anything lately, I have found a wealth of time to invest in Eve. In-game this has mostly been training up my […]
