Back in the Pod

Coming back to Eve Online is always fun for me after a break. I get reacquainted with the UI, check out the latest updates and adjust my training to adapt to the changes if needed. I talk to old friends I haven't been in touch with. It really can be a social game. I checked out the Captain Quarters to see how my Nvidia 780 can handle it. It is smooth like butter. I really like the Gallente Captain Quarters. Someday I will be able to leave that room. 

Now that I am back in Eve Online I am going for something I really never got into and that is Missions.  Missions in Eve Online are defined as follows:

A "mission" is a one-time job offered by an NPC (called an "agent") to a player wherein the player must accomplish a set of objectives in exchange for a set of rewards. The reward for completing the mission is usually ISK and Loyalty Points. [source]

You acquire these Missions while docked in a Station from Agents. I suggest going through this Agent Guide. There are different types of Missions in Eve Online. Encounter, Mining, Courier, Trade, Storyline, and Epic Arc. If I missed any let me know.  Encounter Missions will be my planned focus. I used to be a full time miner which has been my only experience within Eve Online.  I plan to change that with my Drake after my skills are complete to allow me a decadent start. I like to travel and these missions are perfect to learn how to  use my Drake in combat. But what I am really after is ISK which is the bane of my existence within the Eve Universe.  Fly safe- Lateris 

Whats going on here?

Landing: OK first off I don't look anything like my profile picture for my pilot in Eve Online. I am bald, 5"6 tall, and working on the figure. So what is exactly going on here? It is my own pet project and forthcoming perspectives for Online PC Gaming. I am going to write about my experiences in New Eden, other games, and maybe some comments within the fruitful realms of other topics.

Things I write\think about: My main focus is primarily with On Line PC gaming. For Example I play Eve Online and Planet Side 2. My first online game was Star Wars Galaxies. Because of the  mechanics of SWG I love crafting, open worlds,  and the freedom of choices to build my character within a skill system. But I am no purist.  I also play Dust 514 on my PS3 with my mouse and keyboard. Project Legion aka Eve Legion is in my sites as well.  I plan to get an Oculus Rift for Eve Valkyrie so expect some posts on that. It might resemble the news at time but I like to snaggle like a snarf snarf. 

Full Disclosures: At times I will be blunt, idiotic, misinformed, and outspoken. But these are my traits and this is my expression of creativity. I am a very bad writer. I do edit live...sorry! At times I may troll you back but such is the rule set in the New Eden Universe. No big dealio. So carry on because I hope to have some fun for us post monsters.  

Cheerio: I am looking  forward to building a small revue of friends, colleagues, and allies within our genre. Welcome to "Across the Circuit".
