Translating your RL job to EVE

Posted on 2009-12-16 by Ecliptic Rift

Yargok, who writes the excellently-named blog Wherever I May Roam, had a great post idea about discussing your RL job in EVE terms. So, how would your exact job look, translated into EVE?

In my job, I’d work for some financial-industry megacorp, monitoring our portion of the fluid router network for security violations or attempts to breach our network. I’d spend time poring through the connection and transaction data, all to protect the corporation’s net from folks trying to run codebreakers on our data systems. And I’d frequently work with the CONCORD CRC in order to coordinate threat response and share intel on the sorts of activity we’re seeing or might see. Yes, the anti-explorer, that would be me.

This probably explains why I play the sort of character I do: escapism, the anti-reality…

    Heh, when you first mentioned Megacorp security I imagined you´d be one of them patrolling a gate somewhere.
    -Man that would be a boring job, orbiting the gate and shouting warnings at pirates passing by in their pods.

    Soo… anti-hacker? Cool.

    Technically my job is incident response, including intrusion detection, forensics, and threat intelligence. But yeah. ;)

    I would be a member of an industrial corporation that builds the larger stations (trade hubs, stargates, capital ships yards, etc…). Contracting with smaller corps to build the elements so that we could assemble them into the final product.
    In RL I build infrastructure projects (Dams, bridges, hospitals, etc…)
