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. They offer freedom, flexibility, and (at sufficient scale) cost savings. So, what is a small corp that wants the benefits of structure ownership without the upkeep to do? Why, they […]
People often express misunderstanding about the nature of the HMA. While everything you need to know about us can be found in the pages of this blog, who in our busy day and age has time to read multiple blog posts. So, here is a brief summary of what we are and what we do. […]
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that after two long years the HMA Flagship was finally the target of a dedicated strike team of gankers. On 2023.04.25, a combined team of Train Wreck. and Safety Set To Red pilots targeted me for destruction. While stepping away to attend to other duties they […]
Boy does time fly when you have the attention span of a cocaine-fueled housefly, as it seems I’ve missed yet another anniversary. As of March 16th 2023, the HMA has been bringing you murder and mining for two whole years. If you’ve been with us from the beginning… Why? If you’re one of our newer […]

Honoring our love of both puns and violence, the HMA is proud to announce that we are no longer performing sanctions of unregulated miners. We will now be performing Hull Integrity Tests, or HITs, to ensure that those mining in and around Hek are doing so safely and responsibly. Although nothing is changing policy-wise, framing […]
The HMA prides itself on being an inclusive community. Everyone is welcome to take part in our fleets as long as they are willing to abide by our rules. So, what do we do with folks who either fail to abide by our rules or refuse to join our fleets? Well, whatever you want to. […]
