Today we look to the stars of Hek, a location in Minmatar Republic space: bordering the threshold of both highsec and lowsec space. Home to the Hek Mining Association. My name is Kaito Subaru, a miner, just like the rest of you. I came to EVE: Online from what is shy of 16 years ago, […]
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 […]
NOTE – This is an outdated post kept alive for the sake of posterity. For our current guide, see How to Run an HMA Public Mining Fleet [Updated]. As I am on vacation at the moment, and therefore not running my usual fleets, now seems as good a time as any to write up a […]
To your average miner, ganker is a dirty word unfit for polite company. They are seen as a depraved and cowardly lot incapable of “real pvp” which accounts for their only targeting “defenseless miners”. If you would bear with me for a few minutes I would like the opportunity to change your mind. To be […]
