As I’m sure many have noted in recent weeks, the sovereignty maps have been changing. Dramatically. Large chunks of space, held [...]

by Silene Derbhan … What the hell are you doing, Silene ? Before beginning today’s story, I’d like to point out a big flaw in the terms used to describe the main careers accessible to Eve’s players: carebears or pvpers.

Eve Newb: Following the Gang

13. November 2008

2 Comments

by Sam Guss … One of my enjoyments in flying in 0.0 space is joining alliance-ran roaming gangs. Every corporation and alliance runs their gangs slightly different and most even has a couple different ways. For example: running ship or tactic-specific types of gangs depending on the goal of the roaming gang. This is lesson #1 [...]

A Newb’s Look at the Quantum Rise Expansion
