It was hard to find more crew and to get those named and tech 2 modules, especially with the war going on against the Gallente. So no modules, or a good sized crew, it’s time to research some more ship setups…

So after a bit of looking back at my posts and ship reviews, I decided to go more into detail about some of the ships. For an example, the Ferox, didn’t get a whole lot written about it. And another, the Raven, I have discovered a much more stronger and efficient tank for all of those of you who love to do missions!

Stay tuned, and check out some of the ship reviews! I will also be expanding the assortment of ships to include Gallente ships, starting with some of the smaller frigates. Reviews will now also include it’s
suggest role, tactic, and any other notes about it’s setup. If you would like me to add any other technical information of any of the ships, just give me a shout out here. You may also find ship review navigation bars soon for the ease of access between each!

Most of the ships I review are just temporary ships, and most of the time I choose not to keep them. If you are interested in a certain ship or setup, I would be glad to talk to you in game and perhaps even contract it all to you!

I hope you continue to visit the website, read the blogs, share your thoughts in the chat, and participate in the surveys!

Thanks everyone.

We have a small fan base setup already and this way more people will come and read the blogs. As you tell our friends of your own blog, they will also be able to enjoy others all in one centralized site and setting up your account should be quite easy! Hope you join us and to hear from you soon!

Just popping in to say hey to all the usual subscribers.

And to tell all of you about a new update to the website.

Oh ya, its going to be good.  It’s code name is EWW 2.0 (I know it’s not well) and it’s been in development for 2 weeks.  You know how I haven’t posted many new things in the near while?  Well it’s because I have been working a lot on what is called EVE’s Weekend Warrior 2-point-o.

So you may wonder what this is all about; well more or less, I am trying to expand the website to aim for a more community based website.

Some of the features that will be included in this chunk of update are:

• Feeds from EVE
• Updated polls (I know I haven’t been to well with these)
• Updated headers from the contest
• Multi-author based community blogs

The biggest new feature will be the community blog.  This is what I was talking about above.  If you would like to journal your adventures and experiences somewhere, why not do it here?  The website has a sizable audience already and it’s a great way to communicate with other players!

The catch is there is going to be a small fee for the author’s pages and there will be some limitations, but I am still thinking a lot about that right now so don’t worry too much!

All this and more will be announce as time passes on…

Due to some people who requested for me to extend the time period for submitting to the contest, I have now lengthened the duration of the project.

If you haven’t submitted your photos, hurry! I have received some very nice screenshots, but yours may be better!

Contest now has been extended until August 15th and the winner announced on August 16th.

Good luck!

Full rules and information here!

The Rokh is missing it’s love…

But atleast my skills are certainly training, slowly, very slowly…

As you probably realized, this summer for me has been full of travels, which means I am away from my home computer often.  That poses the problem of not being able to update the website very often, put up new posts, and play a heck of a lot EVE.

Now the problem of posting new articles has been solved.  I recently purchased an iPhone and with it’s on the go internet service and WordPress application, I will be able to tell you whats up.

The only thing I can do effectively is post articles, which is what I will try to do more often.  And for the past few days, I have been checking out some other EVE websites.  Some of which are blogs and their links can be found in our links and support page!

Don’t forget to take those screenshots, I have received a few very nice entries so far!

Until next time,

Tony

I am always trying to update the website to make it better.  Even if it is just spell checking the little things, rearranging items or adding new features.

So this is a contest, if you wish, to contribute your art of EVE to the website.

All you need to do is send me a screenshot that is at least 865×180 big.  The I will crop it into the correct size and find a point of interest on the picture to place that image into the header of the website.

The image may be anything from a large capital fleet ganking a smaller fleet, your ship mid-warp, a beautiful mining scene, or anything else you may think of.

Winners will not only receive their picture on the top of the web pages, but also a prize of 5 million ISK.

Remember, it is the level of detail, quality, and aesthetics that I am look for!  At the end of this, I will clear out some of my older pictures for the new ones!

Thank you.

Rules:

• Each person may submit 2 screenshots, anyone more than two will be disqualified
• Each screenshot must be at least 865x180px
• Send your pictures to tonglil@Hotmail.com with your in-game-name
• Once the results are announced, the grand prize winner will receive 5 million ISK and their winning picture on rotation in the header of the website.
• Second prize winner will also have their picture featured in rotation and receive a Scorpion blueprint copy worth estimated 1 million ISK in game.
• Third prize winner will have their picture in rotation and receive a Ferox blueprint copy worth 500 thousand ISK in game.
• The contest closes on August 15, 2008 and the results will be announced on August 16, 2008

If you have any more questions or comments, please reply to this post.

So training to level 5 in Caldari frigate took 10 days with some implants in. Now I must train for electronic upgrades to level 5. Yesh, how long will it take to get a stealth bomber?

Anyways, sorry for the afk-ness. I was on vacation for the past week. A little journey into the Canadian Rockies.

Before I left, I set 17 orders of large quantities that could be considered to be fairly expensive in the marketplace. Now that I have returned, the wallet got a boost from 30 million to 110 million. How the heck did that happen? I estimated I wouldn’t have had a profit of 40 million. But 80 million, 2x, that’s cool!

Now with that money I will be able to afford a stealth bomber, maybe go do some level 3 missions. I haven’t done those since I lost my Drake a few weeks back. Oh that Drake will be missed.

After getting a Manitcore, my plans are to start the training for an interceptor. It’ll be another long training session, ugh.

Today is Tony’s birthday!

Will log on to EVE to check out some stuff, but I don’t think I will be on for too long.

Enjoy your day fellows :D
