I'm here 11 hours a day, I read the forums, look at evelopedia and eve-central, I even watch my skill queue timer once in a while. But what I would really like to do is download the client and log in during the one hour I'm alone before clocking out for the day and maybe some time on Saturday too. I figure I can at least spend a bit of time mining.
So can anyone tell me about their experience doing this? Is it likely to be noticed traffic wise, blocked by firewalls etc? I have played some browser based games here before and I saw someone else logged into Lineage I think. |

Have you considered simply asking if you can do so ?
If you think they're going to say No way - then it's just not worth trying to game the system.

If it were for "just one hour" then asking is obvious otherwise you are STEALING FROM YOUR EMPLOYER.
If it were for "more than one hour" then asking is NOT obvious - you're being paid to work and if you are not - YOU ARE STEALING FROM YOUR EMPLOYER.
Your call.

I just use a VPN connection between my workplace and home. Traffic wise the work proxy/firewall only sees a VPN tunnel, which is allowed and encryped.
Works fine, as EVE is not very heavy on bandwidth. A dev replied once each client needs about 6 kbps transfer rate, but the more targets and crap on your screen the more data is transferred ofcourse.

Ethics of the situation aside, it depends entirely on how secure your network is, which ports they block externally, and how over-zealous the network engineers/administrators are about monitoring bandwidth use. The traffic will probably be a lot less noticeable in a large company than a small one. Unsub or don't.-á I don't care what your reasons are, and neither does anyone else.-á Just click the button and go away - or don't. |

EDIT: Word from the wise >> "I read the forums, look at evelopedia and eve-central, I even watch my skill queue timer once in a while." Without permission to do so this can give grounds for dismissal on it's own, let alone trying to use a client. In addition, even using a laptop with your own connection during work hours is grounds for dismissal. You need clear, preferably written, unequivocable permission to do so. Some employers may be laissez faire and not care. Most are not.

I'm on salary and commission, I sit here for that last hour whether there are customers or not and probably 90% of that time there are none. The manager responsible for extending the hours was canned last week and my direct manager knows we surf the net when it's slow. I already spend that dead hour reading or otherwise "STEALING FROM MY EMPLOYER". |

If you mine in a Mackinaw, you will fill your hold in about 30 minutes roughly. You will have to retarget asteroids every few minutes, depending on how big they are. Roids that are 25k in size will get shredded in about 3 minutes.
The good news there is that, with headphones, you can easily hear when you need to change to a new roid, and you can go dock, unload, and be back into the same field in maybe 90 seconds.
Some will just get a Sigil or something and set it to mine all day, though you are really making peanuts.

eta: I do see the point though, just seems to be made in a overly high handed manner. Cough. I am not being judgemental. Not my problem.
Just pointing out what some people don't know and only find out when they get called into the office. Seen it happen too many times mate.
And as for someone's comment re: middle management. I WAS the BOSS. But I also said my guys could do what they like as long as the job got done.
Pssstt.... Now I'm middle management. I run my own show but I'm married. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

Yes, the traffic can be noticed on the network by any IT guy who's paying attention. I'm the IT guy where I work so that really isn't an issue for me. I just close my office door and fire it up on the rare occasion. :) |

I need to see if my laptop can play EVE, then i can play at work. As of right now my bosses don't about if I play games or not, what they care about is that i get my work done on time, after that they don't give a damn.
Tis nice having my older brothers as my bosses.

This. You have a job, why are you wanting to play a game? Do your work, excel at it, become a productive member of your company RL and society in general.

Whatever you do make sure youdon't install eve on your work computers, take a laptop with you.
Much less likely to get caught and even if they do catch you it's still your laptop so there isn't much they can't do, it's the same as reading a book or whatever. |
