This site is one of my “go-to” sites to gather information. Especially when it comes to which NPC corporations carry what in their Loyalty Point Store. While most players will recognize certain NPC corporations as being a “one stop, all” type of LP rewards, some players like the feel of working for lesser known NPC corporations. It also comes in handy in low and null-sec systems, where a lot of these lesser known corporations have agents.

Navigation: 5 out of 5

I like the navigation used at this site. When you first come to the website, in the middle on the left is a list of all the various factions you can do business with. This includes the pirate factions as well. From there, it will break down into specific NPC corporations and agencies you can gain loyalty points from. At this point you are left with pages of what loyalty rewards you can buy.

Information: 3 out of 5

The database is HUGE and while I can not verify how accurate the information is on every single NPC corporation, I have yet to be surprised, disappointed or found bad information on the corporations I have worked for.

In addition to the LP store database, other information is also available including ships, videos, etc. While in my opinion, the LP database is where this site shines and is the most useful, there is still other information available from here.

Where this site loses points is in the fact that there is no “hover” info or even link to the various items. This means, while you can find out what a corporation has, to find out what this hardwire or that hardwire is, you will need to find that information elsewhere.

Style: 2 out of 5

Believe it or not, I really do like this site – but it is rather boring to look at in terms of style. It is a database site however, which prevents anything to flashy. With hover info or links to individual items, I think this site would shine even brighter and indeed would even out the style of the site more. This is an information only site, versus a reading site as it were.

Overall: 3.5 out of 5

Despite some of its flaws, the information is very useful and again one of my favorite “go-to” websites about Eve. I strongly recommend using this site to help research the corporations in the region(s) that you intend to fly in.
