Finally got accepted into Eve University last night, after another hour-long chat with one of their recruitment officers.
I'm going to move my base of operations up to Korsiki, the location of their HQ, so I can better take part in the classes and fleet operations that they run. It's only 8 jumps away from where I'm operating now - not far, but far enough that it makes sense to take all my assets with me. So I started gathering them up from the stations they're currently scattered between, and spent the rest of my time familiarising myself with the corp's rules and installing TeamSpeak (mandatory for participating in the corp's activities). Didn't even get to run a single mission. Eve's like that: it's easy to spend hours busying yourself with minutiae, be it figuring out a skill training plan or getting to grips with the game mechanics, and never actually leave the station you're docked in. Right now I'm quite liking that slow pace, although it remains to be seen whether that's still the case once the newness of the game starts to wear off.
