EVE Online: Dominion – UI Showcase

By Xeross Posted in EVE Online, News & Stuff Leave a Comment

Hey Folks,

With Dominion (which is coming on december the 1st if I recall correctly) there’s a whole lot of changes, Not only the new sov mechanics but also improvements to other things like the in-game browser, mailing and fleets. Now MinerPewPew (Yes that’s his character name) has created a video showcasing these new UI changes, you can watch it streaming below and you can download the high quality version here.

They’ve made the UI look a little slicker, updated the character screen and changed the loading bars too. I must say these changes look very promising and I can’t wait for the release. And if you want leave a comment with your thoughts on these changes.

Regards, Xeross

New Signature

By Xeross Posted in Graphics/Design Comments (4)

After having this as my signature for a while I wanted something more glassy and spacey (To fit with my blog being mostly EvE related). So after spending a while in my Design Studio (or in other words Photoshop) I came up with the following:

New Signature

I’m satisfied with the overall result but I want to somehow make it look more glassy and maybe add some animation to it. Now to finish this post I’d love to hear your comments, criticism and suggestions on this so leave a comment.

EVE Log: Past and future skill training

By Xeross Posted in EVE Online Comments (2)

Hey Folks, I thought I’d let ya’ll know what I have planned for the coming weeks/months in terms of skill training and what I’ve been training lately, so here it goes (I seem to like this kind of intro a lot).

Past

Well first of all let’s see what I’ve been training the last few weeks.

So basically I’ve been specialising in mining lately, so I’ve trained primarily skills related to mining and mining vessels, I just completed all the training required to fly a hulk a few days ago (I’ll go over the fitting in another post like I always do), so I’ve been mining with my shining hulk the last few days.

Future

I’m now training (I already planned it in EVEMon) to fly an Orca, so far I’ve finished Leadership I and I’m now training Mining Foreman to level 5, after that Mining Director I and then Industrial Command Ships I, and then I can fly an Orca, all I need to do then is get an Orca (which I get from my corp when i finish the website).

After that’s done I’m planning on cross training for Caldari Battleship V and Marauders I so I can fly a Golem (I really want one ^^), this will take about 108 days so I’ll be busy for a while in terms of skills. and well after that I’ll just go further into mining (Processing, Related Skills) and ofcourse further into Mission/PvP ship fitting (Turrets, Shields, Armor, whatever is needed).

Afterword

So basically that’s it, now you know what I’ll be up to in the coming 120 days.

Quick Update

By Xeross Posted in Gaming, Personal Leave a Comment

Hey Folks, I thought I’d throw in a quick update about what’s happening lately, so here it goes.

First of all I’ve been in bed for a week with a fever (Ranging from 39-41 degrees centigrade) thus I haven’t done anything worth noting in the last week, I’m still recovering, the fever is gone but now my ears, throat and stuff start going a little downhill.

Second of all because of this sickness the week flew by because of sleeping almost the entire week, so now my training for my Hulk is finished I purchased one today and have fully fitted her, she’s bringing in a nice volume of about 4000m3 of ore a cycle so I’m happy.

And third of all I’m trying to get some of my programming projects into motion again, an application I’m developing and am intending to sell a subscription on is still in debugging phase, I’m debugging it with someone I met that needed such an app so that’s going nicely and I have some websites I need to finish (Like the Corp website) so I’ll need to start working on that again too.

Regards, Xeross
