Okay, so it looks like I'm babysitting my housemate's EVE account until he gets home, so I just had to make the setup work:

From left to right: Laptop running EVE-Mon; EVE running on work laptop; EVE running on PC.

I'm using Synergy so I can control everything from the one set of keyboard/mice. I had a bit of an issue with EVE dropping out when it was losing focus, but there's an option in Synergy to stop this from happening.

This is just begging to be played, but it's downtime now which is CCP's way of reminding us all that we have to eat, and take care of all those other bodily functions.

Okay so I've been guilty of every six months picking up EVE-Online and playing it for a day or so before getting sick of it.

And I've succumbed yet again, but this time it feels a little bit different. I'm approaching the game with a clear plan for what I want to acheive and am having a longer-than-usual run.

But in order for me to progress, I think I'm going to need to get some mates playing cooperatively so we can do group missions, etc - making it easier for the group as a whole to progress. And therein lies the problem, I think. I've always tried to play EVE by myself, but it's really a group-based game.

Incidentally, my corporation - House of Awesome - is now recruiting, so drop in and join in the fun ;)
