I figured I'd start the blog off with a short intro about me and how I got to where I am. I started off as a highsec Caldari carebear running missions for the Caldari Navy, and I'm ashamed to say that I spent the first few months of my Eve career wasting away there.
Fortunately, about three months into my career, I joined Dreddit/TEST in their home in Fountain. As my first nullsec experience, the time I spent with Dreddit was instrumental in convincing me that PvP was the path for me in Eve.
Despite being terrible, I survived my time there, and left after four months of solid experience. After spending some more time in highsec with Red vs Blue, I joined my current corporation, Red Core. Here's where the real story starts.
When I joined, Red Core was a very small corporation with very big plans. At the time, Red Core consisted of highsec mission runners with an eventual goal of learning PvP and moving to lowsec/nullsec. To be honest, when I joined, we were all absolute shit at PvP (with perhaps the sole exception of our CEO).
My first two months with Red Core were spent practicing and training with the other members and developing a sense of community. We spent our time diving into lowsec in small gangs, fighting the likes of Noir and Narhwals Ate My Duck. In those two months, we went from a ragtag gang of meta-fit cruisers and battlecruisers to a reasonably solid group of battlecruisers with scout support.
Once we got comfortable, we formally moved to lowsec, where we further advanced our PvP abilities to include HACs, recons, and logistics. After some time here, we started butting heads with a corporation with hotdropping/capital habits, and decided to accelerate our move to nullsec.
This brings us to the present day. Red Core is now based in Syndicate space and still improving our PvP abilities. Despite being the most active PvPer in the corp, I am the Director of Quantitative Easing (read: any and all PvE operations). This blog will feature analysis on general Eve PvP lessons and theory that I encounter during my time here.
I've come to terms with the fact that, like it or not, Eve is now a large part of my life, and it would be incredibly disappointing to the future me if I never documented any of my adventures in this incredible game.
Well that's certainly enough wall-of-text for one post. Thanks for your time, and I hope you have as much fun reading as I do playing and writing!
Take care, and fly safe!
