From CEO Pyrex – The Undisputed ‘Lord of Dust’ New Eden does not need another shooter wearing an EVE logo. It needs one that understands why losing something matters. That is the test I am setting EVE Vanguard when 24/7 paid alpha access opens on PC through the EVE Launcher on 10 November 2026. This

Stop guessing, protect your ISK, and build a production chain that can actually scale. I make most of my ISK through invention and Tech II production. I currently run 15 accounts, so it is fair to say I have gone a bit mad with it—but that scale came later. What hooked me was the process: copying, i

Manufacturing in EVE Online can be one of the most satisfying ways to build your place in New Eden, but it is easy to make the process more complicated than it needs to be. Whether you are taking your first steps into industry or trying to make an established operation more efficient, these five tip

We have done a few videos on mining but never written actual words.... so thought we should do that. This is a practical beginner-friendly guide to mining ships, ore compression, survey scanners, drones, and group mining in New Eden If you would rather just watch this, click the pic below to see the

There’s a moment in every long‑running Factorio series where you look back at the save file, stare at the chaos you once called “a plan,” and think: Yeah… we’re not done here. That’s exactly where I’ve landed with Warp Drive Machine, the absurdly brilliant mod that took over my life for ten episodes

TL:DR - A personal update from the Some Time Later newbro challenge: ship progression, corporation growth, missions, mining, standings, skill plans, and the slow process of building a home in Amarr space. A Quick State of the Corporation When I started this new character, the goal was absurdly simpl

TL:DR? - I wanted to make a beginner-friendly guide to restarting in New Eden, earning early ISK, flying Tech 1 frigates, looting missions, using the AIR Career Program, and finding the fun in small-ship combat. Read on if that sounds fun or watch the below video: Starting Fresh in EVE Online Someti

https://youtu.be/fhYVfDvAqeI EVE Online has always been a universe defined by player ambition — the kind of place where a single capsuleer can rise from nothing and carve out a legacy through grit, creativity, and a little bit of chaos. That spirit is exactly what fuels the new Zero‑ISK Hardmode Cha

This is for the video that is soon out that covers what I think are the top ten things to do / be aware of when returning to EVE ONLINE after a long break. That return point is obviously different for each player so we took a holistic view and went with what felt right. Post in the comments if you d

Interesting partnership in play now between Fenris Creations (CCP Games redux) and Google Deep mind. It shows AI is going to be come part of the EVE world but the question is how, here is a short overview that looks into a few user stories that create use cases for AI in EVE Online: This is a sneak

Hi all So you likely saw this video about the updates we are working on with regards to the EVE Trade Computer Excel sheet thingy, https://youtu.be/-d__aETCUCU The file is in no way complete but if you want to have a tinker and try it, feel free! Some notes - the file takes a while to load each time

Hello Space Empire Builders, It is my overwhelming joy to present to you the latest version of the EVE Online excel sheet that helps people restock, sell things, build stuff and manage buy and sell orders tool.

Hello Space Business Buddies We are now into version 1.5 - This is a huge update in terms of fixes to stupid things that were just broken and also to include a more developed version of 'Dave's Auto Garage' and split out a Structure building app also.

Hello Space Friend, So we now are ready to release this 2nd tool, this one has quite a bit of power as it helps traders spot opportunities in the 4 market hubs of EVE Online. VIDEO LINK HERE https://youtu.be/Vd1Nj23RUjQ The way it works is that it pulls against a set of defined items (ships, modules

It isn’t often I say things like that ‘the next big thing’ because I am a British Gent, I find that understatement is often the right thing to do. Many times, in my life, absolute chaos has happened around me and all I would do is sip my proverbial cup of tea and fix a firm stance ready to respond i

2025 was quite a year for the coolest among society, aka us gamers. With plenty of new releases it saw me once again playing games released years ago (as is tradition) yet there were some real stars this year and I felt a need to sit and write stuff about each of them. So here is a little run down o

When we set out to create an excel file it was with the express desire to resolve what in the game was a major pain in the bottom which was placing sell orders for all the nonsense I made in industry. There would be times when I would be cycling 15 accounts and over 30 accounts making stuff and I wo

Okay I will start this entire mini splurge of mind juice with a bit of a caveat, I know a lot of people hated it, I will only go into why I thought it was a great thing to have and then address why perhaps it wouldn’t work for a CCP product. EVE Online to me has always been a game where you feel lik

The extraction shooter genre represents one of the most fascinating evolutions in multiplayer gaming. At its core, the genre blends the tension of survival with the reward of successful escape: players enter hostile environments, gather loot, and must extract safely to keep their spoils. This mechan

Multiboxing has quietly shifted from being a quirky niche in EVE Online to a defining feature of the game’s ecosystem. What was once the domain of a handful of hardcore players has now become the norm, with fleets increasingly populated not by dozens of individuals, but by one person juggling multip

There’s something uniquely satisfying about drifting through the stars, mining asteroids, refining rare elements, and slowly building your own empire from scratch. For me, space games that incorporate resource gathering and crafting aren’t just more fun—they’re more immersive, more strategic, and fa

Never heard of this game? Well its easy to understand why, the marketing for this game is almost non existent, the cover art is wildly misleading and the name itself is kind of off putting as it both it’s a technical term for terrible things that can happen to those that delve the watery depths and

So the dreaded Omega clone is something that every EVE player has to deal with, the wise amongst us will watch all year round for the best plex deal / Omega deal and often they sub their main for the full year based on this. Single big cost but over the months works out to be the best deal. But is i

TL:DR - This base uses the fact that you can infinitely stack minerals in printers to build certain things, use it while its there to avoid portables being stolen from. https://youtu.be/bRGqqRpQyjU?si=kPyQsCQAvmhIIh_t The Changes to portable storage was a bit eye opening when I saw it, thing is, its

EVE Online’s economy has always been a complex, player-driven system—part stock market, part supply chain simulator. But with the release of the EVE Online Excel plug-in, the game’s financial landscape has shifted dramatically. This tool grants players real-time access to market data across all stat

In the ever-evolving universe of New Eden, CCP Games has long been a pioneer in crafting interconnected player-driven experiences. With the emergence of EVE Vanguard, a first-person shooter module set within the EVE universe, the potential for deep integration with EVE Online opens thrilling new dim

Factorio has long stood as a paragon of systems-driven gameplay, a sandbox where logistics, automation, and industrial scale converge into a deeply satisfying loop. But for players who’ve mastered the art of conveyor belts and circuit networks, the question inevitably arises: what’s next? Enter mods

I must sing the praises of this mod, I consider myself a long time Factorio player but must admit a large percentage of my thousands of hours in the game come from the various hardcore mods that some people seem to take great pleasure in making, deploying like a time vortex grenade that they lob int

EVE Vanguard has landed, and with it comes a wave of speculation: is this the long-awaited successor to Dust 514? Is it any good? While still in alpha, Vanguard already hints at a pedigree that could make it a standout in CCP Games’ expanding universe. Dubbed PROJECT NEMESIS, this new iteration invi

Maybe its just me but I find that CCP does odd things at just the wrong time that end up having an impact to their success. Bold statement right? Okay I should quantify that a bit but over my 20+ years of being a customer of CCP Games I have always enjoyed their products and think they are unlike an

EVE FRONTIER – IS IT EVE ONLINE 2.0 Weighty topic here, so I have been a customer of CCP games for well over 20 years now, I have given them upwards of £10,000 GBP which is rather eye watering when you think about it. Having had over 20 accounts at my peak, I have easily maintained upwards of 15 acc

When I started creating the giant white elephant that quickly became PROJECT SNOWFLAKE, I realised that the potential of space platforms was something truly special and unique in this new game. The story started when I realised that in my early game of Factorio Space Age, I didn’t realise that I cou

So this post is about what we are trying to do in the videos at the moment. Basically Snowflake base as a platform kinda sucks as a manufacturing plant as you cannot use bots and logistics, belts is all you have with arms. so its kinda oldschool! So the challenge of what we were trying to build was
