Jakob's Eve Checklist: o7 Fleet Warp, 7o Nerf/Buff cycle
http://evechecklist.blogspot.com/2015/06/o7-fleet-warp-7o-nerfbuff-cycle.html
Playing in the huge sandbox that is New Eden. June 15, 2015. O7 Fleet Warp, 7o Nerf/Buff cycle. The real bombshell from this o7 show was the announcement of a coming nerf to fleet warp. As more and more people thought about this, the more holes started to appear in the CCP logic. Wormholes, primarily. It really feels like it wasn't thought through - perhaps a slip of the tongue in a live show that they then felt compelled to make official? More nerfs to Ishtars via sentry drones (no details though), more...

Jakob's Eve Checklist: March 2015
http://evechecklist.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Playing in the huge sandbox that is New Eden. March 30, 2015. The end of attributes, a good time for alts. As recently posted on Reddit. Does this mean the end of attributes, with a policy coming where we'll always train at the same value as an optimal remap? Perhaps. But if you're starting up an alt this should make it extra juicy. Learn Cybernetics to IV. Plug in 4 Implants for Int and Mem. Run through all of the Core Skills you need for your alt's focus. Plug in 4 Implants for Per and Will. And yes, I...

Jakob's Eve Checklist: June 2015
http://evechecklist.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Playing in the huge sandbox that is New Eden. June 29, 2015. BB64 - Torpedoes Away! With the Blog Banter kicking back into gear, let's look at the latest: missile changes ahoy, torpedoes in the void, so let's steer straight towards the tracks. With the Aegis release we will see missile boats get their own version of the tracking enhancer and the tracking computer. On the forums there have been calls for new 'missile defence eWar' to counter these new modules. Is this needed? Small Gangs and Missiles.

Jakob's Eve Checklist: December 2014
http://evechecklist.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Playing in the huge sandbox that is New Eden. December 29, 2014. Solo Fiddling, Farming, and Podding. I've toyed with solo plexing, though I think the biggest risk there isn't so much the local Caldari as the local pirates. We have three major "pirate" groups in our stretch of lowsec that would be glad to pick up some quick kills. One of them (YUHU - a branch of Overload Everything) has settled into the same station in Fliet as Aideron Robotics. Basing out of Oto over the past few days we chased after a ...

http://evechecklist.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Playing in the huge sandbox that is New Eden. November 7, 2014. Getting a NewBro into space - my advice to him, help me do it better. Anyone here play Eve Online? When I saw that on our internal company newsgroup, how could I not jump right in. We'll call him NewBro here, to protect the innocent from all you evil doers out there. NewBro played for a while back in 2008, mostly doing mining before he quit. Now's back and has expressed an interest in high sec missioning or exploration. Skills: the good news...

Jakob's Eve Checklist: CCP's Four Product Problem
http://evechecklist.blogspot.com/2015/07/ccps-four-product-problem.html
Playing in the huge sandbox that is New Eden. July 24, 2015. CCP's Four Product Problem. That's what CCP is facing now. I've often written on the success of the Gal/Cal FW zone, even just yesterday. Today we heard from Nosy Gamer that even EveUni is now moving into the greater Gal/Cal warzone, changing their HQ to Slays in Placid. So if you are our product manager, let's look at the lineup:. So what do you do as product manager? How much more investment do you want to make in Product N? At some point do ...

Jakob's Eve Checklist: How active is the Gal/Cal Faction War, compared to the rest of Eve?
http://evechecklist.blogspot.com/2015/06/how-active-is-galcal-faction-war.html
Playing in the huge sandbox that is New Eden. June 8, 2015. How active is the Gal/Cal Faction War, compared to the rest of Eve? Innocent question on Reddit (if there is such a thing): " Is the Cal/Gal war zone any fun right now? So I made a quick reply tied to a corpies post, but let's try to back that up a bit first with a bit of narrative and then with a bit of hard data. Let's compare the Gallente faction to an infamous and large nullsec alliance. Goonswarm Federation actually at 1379. Now if you look...

Jakob's Eve Checklist: BB65 - Attribution Needed?
http://evechecklist.blogspot.com/2015/07/bb65-attribution-needed.html
Playing in the huge sandbox that is New Eden. July 31, 2015. BB65 - Attribution Needed? In most RPGs the attributes of your character are a vital part of how you're going to play the game. I'm sure that's why Eve had them at the very beginning - because all of the other RPGs had them. But as time has gone on it has become increasingly clear that this artifact of the first concepts of Eve does not add to the current gameplay or the vision of Eve's future. BB65: Attributes and Skills. Sure, you remap diffe...
