EVEoLution : Soon To Come - Dust 514

I wanted to take time to mention that EVEoLution will be covering Dust 514 in the near future. Since the Dust 514 Keynote at Fanfest 2014, introducing the new Dust 514 Windows PC client, there will be a large influx of players after the release. Even though I am a PS3 owner with a Dust character as old as beta, it an extreme pain to create media content from the PS3 to present on this blog. So once the PC client is released, expect articles covering Dust 514, and the twitch stream broadcasting Dust 514 as well.

To find out more about Dust 514, visit the official site at https://dust514.com/ , and be sure to check out the videos from Fanfest at CCP's Youtube Channel covering EVE Online, Dust 514, and CCP's latest game EVE Valkyrie!

EVEoLution's Carnival and Weekend Giveaway : March 29th Details!

So it's about time to run another giveaway to help promote EVEoLution, it's new Twitch Feed, in-game Channel, and YouTube channel! Just like last time I'll be giving away lots of neat stuff in hourly raffles, and the more people that are involved the more expensive the prizes! In between those hours, I will also run some lotteries, as well as run large group missions! The plan is to have a HUGE blowout of fun this coming weekend, as well as get new players comfortable with EVE Online, and its community.

EVEoLution's Weekend Giveaway! 3.15.2014

In the interest in increasing the amount of people visiting the blog and new video feed, I will be going all over the universe plugging the blog, and getting people to join the in-game channel. As more and more people join the channel, I will give away a ship or module each hour in-game!

As more and more people join the in-game channel "EVEill", I will start giving away more expensive prizes depending on the amount of people in the channel. The rules are simple:

1. Post a comment with your in-game name to this article. People that post multiple times will be disqualified. The in-game browser does not work for comments. You will have to post a comment outside of the game.
2. Join the in-game channel "EVEill". You must be in channel to claim prizes
3. At the top of each hour a random person will be chosen as the winner

While you wait, check out some of our articles to learn more about EVE Online, which is probably the second reason you came here. If you want to see an article about a topic you don't already see an article for, or would like some general help in game, feel free to let me know in the in-game channel.

Enjoy, and fly safe. o/

EDIT: Thank you all that participated, and congratulations! I will do this again soon, and hopefully have some advertising done prior so we can get more people involved! Keep watching here for updates on upcoming giveaways!

EVEoLution's Twitch Video Feed (Finally!)

As real life settles down, I decided it was time to start working on my Twitch Video Feed. In doing so, I started a single broadcast showing how easy it was to traverse low-sec, and a little w-space as well. The broadcast was saved then added to the list of past broadcasts named "The Beginning". In this I move through low-sec heading towards the EVE Gate, the beginning of EVE Online.

Rubicon and Status Update

With the recent update, I felt it was necessary to at least make a post regarding the update; as well as a status update for EVEoLution. I do want to mention some articles on the horizon, as well as a few key changes in the expansion that will be discussed thoroughly later on; as well new additions to the EVEoLution info hub.

Finally Back for More!

After a long hiatus I'm finally back to bring more guilds for your EVE Online adventure. To start off I'm working on a Capital Ship guide as my first returning article. This article will allow everyone to understand the purpose of capital ships, and how to use them. Aside from that article let me know what else you would like to see a guide for; or even written about.

With that said, I'd like to announce that I'll be using the EVEoLution Twitch channel more and more, offering lots of videos on various EVE topics. At this point, I'll probably use it to demonstrate game play, but it can evolve into a video guide eventually.

As you may have already noticed I've been keep up on the Twitter feed to show any and all of the EVE related posts made that you would want to read, instead of having to tread through all the posts yourself.

Enjoy, and fly safe. o/

[EVEoLution] - Update: Request For Comments

Hello fellow capsuleers! 

First off thank you all for helping EVEoLution gain enough popularity to be viewed 20,000 times!  Knowing that the site makes a difference drives me to give you more and more great content.


Where are the new articles?

As some may have noticed I haven't been updating the blog as much as usual. With the summer upon us, a plethora of rocks in the road of life, and a new puppy 'Cleo', I have not had the time to update this blog as much as I've wanted. To add I haven't even had time to play EVE itself. Since the Odyssey patch, I've played about 2 hours to try out the new Exploration system (expect an article on it soon), but was abruptly halted. Of course I'm itching to come back soon, and wanted to know what all of you would like to see.


What Do You Want To See?

There are still a lot of articles I plan to finish, but I want to know what my readers want to hear about. Please feel free to comment on this post with what you would like to know more about in EVE Online. Here is the list of articles in progress:

Fitting Guide - Rules of Thumb
Making ISK - Blueprints
Bridges, Cyno, and Carriers - Oh My!
Starting Planetary Interaction
Ammo Types
Moon Mining (Odyssey Edition)
Making a Successful Corporation
Understanding Tech 3 Ships
Sovereignty Explained
Security Status (Odyssey Edition)
Laser Turret Models (I know, it should have been done a long time ago)
Mobile 3rd Party Applications
Starting Capital Ships, and Skills
Odyssey Exploration

So that's what you have to look forward to at least, but any and all ideas will be done as well; so leave your comments below.


The Future of EVEoLution

I understand in this day and age, reading isn't the primary form of information demanded. With that said, I've setup a Twitch TV account for EVEoLution to start streaming EVE, and to also hold various guide videos as well. I've also started posting various EVE-related updates on Twitter. Both of these will be linked on the site soon, and hope that everyone enjoys these additions.

So that's it in a nutshell. I do appreciate everyone's comments, links to the site, and overall viewing of this site. Thank you, and play some EVE for me until I can free up time again! o7

Thank you from EVEoLution!

It's been too long since I posted a new article, at least in my mind. I wanted to take this time to let all my new readers and followers know a bit more about EVEoLution, what's going on, what to expect, and how much I appreciate their support.

There are so many articles I have in drafts that I want to finish including the rest of the gun models, and the rest of the ship types for sizing up PvP fits. I know that many are anticipating more articles like that, and I want to let you know that they are on the way. While there have been other articles I felt needed to be posted previous to any further PvP articles (like the overview articles), it is felt that everything needing to do so has been done; at least for the time being.

I also want to let you know that I have a lot of other ideas to help all of the eve community with various other sites, and cannot wait to get those sites into beta so that you know what to expect. With that said I want to mention I'll be writing more technical articles in the future covering things like IGB use with PHP, and JavaScript; things that are rarely discussed. Of course, the articles take priority over everything else, but wanted to let everyone know there are many other things being planned.

Aside from all of that, I want to thank you all for your support! To relinquish some of my anonymity I'm a single father, that is a contract UNIX/Linux Administrator, that plays EVE. I'm sure you can imagine what sort of time that leaves me to spare, but you can always make it work if you want to. I also want to give a shout-out to the guys from the High Drag Podcast for asking me to come on to talk about the blog. I'm not sure my inner-critic would have ever thought this blog to be as useful as you guys thought it to be!

Thank you all, and have fun. o7


P.S. You can now find me back in RVB-Red as the character Tenjuin. So if you see me roaming around, feel free to shoot!
