I haven’t posted about it yet, but over the summer I’ve been playing a game called EVE online with my friend Harvey. He got us into a corp and set me up with a skill plan. He plays a lot and reads the forums to keep up with what the popular strategies are, and gets more pvp kills than even the veterans in our corp.
A couple weeks ago my Dominix got blown up while I was in safe area… I didn’t know about the war that had been declared on our corporation making normally secure solar systems into dangerous warzones. I was surfing the internet while doing an easy mission and didn’t notice the assault cruiser sneaking up on me until it was too late.
So now I’m waiting for my skills to level up so I can get a better ship. What’s great about this game is you can queue up skills to level up and just wait for them to finish, you don’t have to do anything to level up. I think I’m going to get a ship called the Proteus, which is an advanced ship with modular customizable components. It’s going to take another month before I can fly it though… good thing I’ll be in Hawaii for a week while it levels up for me.
