I have been following other eve blogs for a while now ever since I got an iPhone thanks to the wonderful Capsuleer application.
I enjoy reading a number of them, my favourite has to be Kirith Darkblade's blog due to his interesting writing and decision to use winmatar ships exclusively for the time being.
My aims for this blog are to see if I can get onto CK's eve blog pack and hopefully see myself listed on my iPhone. You've got to have a goal, right?
So here's a bit about my EVE career.
When I first made my character back in 2004 I thought i'd try giving manufacturing/research a go as the character creation menu at the time made it sound quite interesting (normally I go for straight damage/tank in any kind of mmo.) I started off training mining skills and such and got myself into random corporation. I mined with them a few times bit then lost interest and stopped my sub after the first month.
A few months later I was still looking for some kind of game to fill the 'space' void and thought i'd give EVE a go again. This time again I joined a mostly industrial/carebear kind of corp and started enjoying the game more than the first time around. After a while though things within the leadership changed a lot and I left to join a splinter corp called Halfwits.
Halfwits stayed in empire for a bit carebearing and actively recruited members. After a while some of our members wanted to gain access to 0.0 and we started going out to Pure Blind - 5ZKK-K.
Once I first took the steps out into 5ZXX-K the game really started changing for the better. The learning curve raised for me and there was a lot of fun to be had in the first steps of learning to PVP.
As with a lot of corps though, things change a lot over time and it's hard to stay attached. I left Halfwits and joined the Privateers in empire while looking for a more suitable corp to join.
This lead me to CAIN, I had flown with them in 5Z and after speaking with a friend from Halfwits we decided to apply as they seemed to be a good corp to join.
We were both approved and to this day are still in the corp.
I have risen through the ranks of CAIN and am now the lead Quartermaster and on the command staff of the corporation.
I have seen through a lot of things with CAIN, from tuning my PVP skills to empire wars, alliance wars, 0.0 sov warfare to factional warfare as well as being the team captain for our alliance tournament teams the past 3 tournaments (2x 4th District, 1x OWN.)
So this leads me to today. I consider myself a good pvper with plenty of experience, I much preffer small skirmishes over boring 0.0 sov warfare blobs.
Right now i've been sat in empire fighting the Orphanage alliance who have wardecced OWN Alliance. As of today they've retracted their war dec and although normally a 0.0 alliance doesn't run to empire to fight, CAIN decided they were going to this time for fun.
It's a pity that they've dropped their war dec, I was enjoying the skirmishes they were giving and I know that Abel was as well (our resident empire war dec enthusiast.)
I always enjoy a good empire war, the next one I get I will be looking to give some details battle reports.
See you in space for now,
