It is not uncommon for people to want a figurehead to rally behind. It is human nature to follow a leader whether they gained that position through charisma, competence, luck, or (in my case) persistence. Although deeply flattering, this is actually something I have tried very hard to avoid. It has always been my goal […]
At the HMA we have one rule that stands above all others and forms the core of our values. Don’t be an asshole. It seems straightforward but what does it mean and how does it influence our operations? Specifically, how can an organization that actively welcomes gankers and griefers claim that they are not assholes? […]
Normally, the HMA likes to save our accolades for those who directly contribute to our goals and objectives. However, we also like to recognize pilots who embody the spirit of Eve Online. Along those lines, we would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of Wrathful Hawk and his corporation Clipped Wingz. Their accomplishments […]
Here at the HMA, we like making friends almost as much as we like making enemies. And, best of all, is when you can have both. On the surface, New Eden appears to be a galaxy driven by conflict when in reality it is driven by relationships. Every single organization lives and dies by the […]
You know you’ve made a name for yourself when the self-titled “Heroin [sic] of High Sec” feels the need to reach out and insult you directly. To be fair, I have been very vocal in my opinion of the entire Safety. organization. However, truth be told, I have a great deal of respect for them […]
I have a confession to make… I totally forgot our anniversary. You heard right. The HMA has been around for a year already. Although I had already been running public mining fleets for some time, it was on March 16th, 2021 that our organization was officially founded. Initially known as the the Hek Mining Authority, […]
On behalf of the Hek Mining Association, allow me to thank you for finally giving mining the attention it deserves. Mining has consistently seemed an afterthought but these recent changes are a massive quality of life improvement for us rock farmers. However, we are concerned that in your zeal to right past wrongs you may […]
The Hek Mining Association prides itself on making Hek a cleaner, brighter, and more regulated system. Our members work around the clock to ensure that our belts and spacelanes remain clear of obstacles and reckless pilots. Often this work goes unnoticed and unappreciated. But, not today. Today, the HMA we would like to recognize Xenon […]
So, our April Fool’s Invasion has come and gone and if we could sum it up in one word it would be… disappointing. We expected a lot of things when we decided to run a mining fleet in Uedama, the gank capital of New Eden. What we did not expect was for Safety. to fail […]
The Hek Mining Association would like to formally announce a very special fleet taking place. Although, as our name would suggest, we normally keep our operations limited to Hek and the surrounding systems, on April 1st, 2022 the HMA Public Mining Fleet will take place in Uedama. Yes, you read that correctly. For one day […]
