The HMA Structure Network has come under assault. Before the week is out, battles will be waged to determine whether our free community structures stand or fall. And so, we are issuing a call to arms to all interested pilots. As some of you may already know, HMA defense is coordinated through Rogue Corps. If […]
It’s that time of year again where we vote for the upcoming Council of Stellar Management. For those who aren’t familiar, the CSM is – in essence – a focus group that CCP consults with regarding the direction of the game. While it is important to understand that they hold no actual authority they do […]
I wish to announce that the both the Hek Mining Association corporation and Hek Mining Alliance alliance (see Accept No Substitutions) are now under HMA control.

While anyone can, and is encouraged to, run an HMA fleet a Bosmang is one who has shown that […]
Now that I have your attention, please allow me to elaborate. I am not quitting Eve. I am not quitting RogueCorp. I am not even really quitting the HMA. However, I am taking a step back and focusing time and energy on my own corporations. The truth is that I’m tired. I am tired of […]
Let’s get straight to the point… structures are an expensive pain in the ass. And yet, they are an essential infrastructure element for many groups.
