Oye, m’beltas! If you’re not familiar, The Expanse is a book and TV series chronicling the adventures of the crew of the Rocinante as they navigate the perils of a war-torn solar system. Throughout, one of main drivers of the plot is the oppression of those who live and work in the asteroid belts. When […]
Love him or loathe him, if you’ve spent any amount of time in Hek in the past decade you almost certainly know of him. In truth, this is an acknowledgement long overdue. You see, despite having no formal affiliation and having declined my many attempts to recruit him, he is nonetheless the Godfather of the […]
A time comes in every wannabe cartel boss’ life when he has to admit that things just aren’t working. While I still believe in the business model I tried to rollout for Phase 2, I lacked the motivation, organization, and influence to make it a reality. And so, I am humbly walking back those changes […]
Although each bosmang has a great deal of autonomy in how they run their fleet, in order to be considered a legitimate HMA Public Mining Fleet there are certain standards that must be met. These standards have been put in place to create consistency in function and appearance in order to create a unified public […]
A common concern of miners across New Eden is how to do so safely. While there is no such thing as complete safety in this galaxy (and what a boring place it would be if there were) there are things that you can do to reduce the likelihood that you will receive a failure on […]
Day 1 It’s hard to believe my three-month rotation is almost up. At the end of this week, I finally get leave to head planet-side and visit my family. Knowing that every wreck I pull in brings me one step closer to them makes all the difference. Don’t get me wrong. I love the work […]

The rules are simple. 32 Pilots will be entered into a Single-Elimination tournament. Once pairings are announced, each pilot will have five days to […]
As many of you are likely aware, CCP has recently made changes to Security Status as it relates to high sec systems such as Hek (see Changes to Security Status & Abyssal Filaments). While this may seem like a godsend for the mining community, I am inclined to disagree. As I’ve shared before, ganking is […]
Ganking Ventures with a Catalyst is like clubbing baby seals. Sure, it’s fun, but it’s not terribly sporting and more than a little wasteful. So, what is a connoisseur of combat to do. Well, if you’re Jak’rat, the answer is to even the playing field a bit. Why shoot Ventures with an over-powered anti-frigate platform […]
I am proud to announce that we have finally managed to install SeAT on our trusty web server here at RogueCorp HQ. As some might be aware, we first began using SeAT about four months ago as a means of managing Discord access (among many other functions). Unfortunately, due to technical issues with the virtual […]
