THE NORKK DISCLAIMER

Before You Hand Norkk Your Location, Wallet History, and Other Questionable Life Choices

By signing into NIA through EVE Online and approving the requested ESI permissions, you are allowing NIA to read specific information about the character you select.

Currently, that includes:

• Your current solar system.
• The ship you are flying.
• Whether you are online.
• Information available to you about your current fleet.
• Your character wallet and recent wallet activity.
• Your active and historical market orders.

None of this is hidden in twelve pages of corporate bullshit written by a lawyer who has never undocked.

The official EVE Online authorization screen shows every permission NIA requests before you approve anything. NIA then uses that information to provide features for the character who authorized it.

The location and fleet permissions let NIA understand where you are, what you are flying, where your fleet is, whether people are separated, and how your current situation relates to routes, threats, camps, operations, and nearby activity.

The wallet and market permissions power your private trading workspace. They let NIA show your wallet balance, transactions, fees, taxes, and personal market orders. They do not let NIA transfer your ISK, cancel your orders, sell your shit, or spend your money on thirty thousand units of something because a Reddit post claimed it was about to spike.

Without ESI, NIA can still analyze New Eden.

Without your ESI, it just cannot analyze your part of New Eden.

What the Fuck Is NIA Now?

NIA began as a tool to help Norkk get back into FCing.

It has since suffered a complete and apparently irreversible case of feature creep.

NIA is becoming a unified intelligence platform for EVE Online: part FC command center, part tactical map, part kill-data analyst, part route planner, part market terminal, part industrial calculator, and eventually an AI-powered second brain capable of connecting all of it.

The site is organized around five areas.

Command

Operations, friendly-fleet awareness, route intelligence, saved-route monitoring, alerts, and eventually recommendations based on what your fleet is actually capable of fighting.

This is the part that helps answer:

“Where the fuck are we going, what is waiting there, and can these idiots actually survive it?”

Universe

The New Eden Atlas, interactive 3D map, sovereignty ownership, campaigns, infrastructure, system geography, security status, navigation, capital jump ranges, and live intelligence overlays.

It is meant to help you understand New Eden as one connected battlespace instead of a collection of browser tabs held together by alt-tabbing and blind optimism.

Intelligence

Fleet analysis, gate-camp detection, activity timelines, watchlists, target history, corporation and alliance behavior, compositions, doctrines, movement patterns, and other evidence extracted from public activity.

NIA does not merely want to tell you that seventeen ships died.

It wants to tell you that the same pilots have been killing traffic on the same gate for forty minutes, their composition probably includes tackle and logistics, activity is continuing, and jumping through it in a badly fitted hauler would be a deeply personal decision.

Economy

Live public market orders, regional comparisons, item and contract searches, trade opportunities, taxes, hauling estimates, route risk, cargo trips, profit per trip, and estimated ISK per hour.

Your private My Trading workspace can also show the wallet and market-order information authorized for your character.

NIA cannot place market orders for you. It cannot cancel them, modify them, or transfer your ISK.

It can, however, show you that your “guaranteed investment” has been sitting in Jita for three weeks while everybody else undercuts you by 0.01 ISK.

Industry

Production chains, blueprints, material requirements, reactions, planetary-industry chains, facility information, system cost indices, build-versus-buy calculations, sourcing across trade hubs, hauling costs, and profitability estimates.

Most current industry planning uses public market information and static EVE data. It does not currently require access to your personal assets, blueprints, jobs, or colonies.

Future personal-industry features may request additional read permissions for assets, blueprints, industry jobs, and planetary colonies. Those permissions are not being requested today. If NIA adds them later, EVE Online will show them and you will have to approve them separately.

NIA cannot quietly add new access to a token you already approved.

Public Intelligence Versus Your Private Shit

Most of NIA’s intelligence is built from public or broadly available information:

• Public killmails and zKillboard activity.
• Public market orders.
• Public contracts.
• System and stargate geography.
• Security status.
• Sovereignty and campaign information.
• Industry cost indices.
• Blueprint and material data.
• Historical activity collected from those public sources.

When NIA identifies a fleet, estimates a gate camp, detects target activity, calculates route danger, or finds a trade opportunity, it is analyzing public evidence.

It is not taking every logged-in user’s private location and throwing it onto a public map like FlightRadar24 for Ishtars.

Your private character, fleet, wallet, and market information belongs to your logged-in workspace. An unrelated user cannot search your name and open your private fleet roster, wallet history, or market orders.

Your information is not sold, handed to hostile groups, or quietly exchanged for ten billion ISK and a blurry feet picture.

That last one is still not entirely a joke.

If you know, you know.

What Each Permission Actually Does

NIA currently requests six ESI permissions.

Read Your Current Location

Allows NIA to determine the current solar system of the character you select.

In plain English: NIA knows where that character is so it can calculate routes, distance, nearby threats, operations, and map context.

Read Your Current Ship

Allows NIA to read the type and name of your current ship.

In plain English: NIA knows whether you brought the doctrine ship or decided your shit-fit Drake was “close enough.”

Read Your Online Status

Allows NIA to determine whether the selected character is online.

In plain English: You are marked online or offline. This does not reveal what you are doing at your computer, whether you are actually paying attention, or why you have been sitting on the same gate for twenty-seven minutes.

Read Your Fleet Information

Allows NIA to read fleet information available to the selected character. Depending on your fleet role and what ESI provides, that can include fleet members, wings, squads, roles, locations, and ships.

In plain English: NIA may know who is in your fleet, where they are, what they are flying, and which pilot somehow ended up six jumps behind everybody else.

Read Your Character Wallet

Allows NIA to read the selected character’s wallet balance, journal entries, and market transactions.

In plain English: NIA can show your balance, purchases, sales, taxes, fees, and other wallet activity.

It cannot transfer ISK, buy anything, or prevent you from making catastrophic financial decisions.

Read Your Character Market Orders

Allows NIA to read the selected character’s active and historical market orders.

In plain English: NIA can show what you are buying or selling, the price, location, remaining quantity, and order status.

It cannot create, change, or cancel an order.

What NIA Cannot See or Do

NIA never receives your EVE Online username or password. You enter those only through EVE Online’s official login service.

The permissions requested today do not give NIA access to your:

• Assets or hangars.
• Mail.
• Contacts.
• Contracts.
• Skill queue.
• Fittings.
• Corporation wallet.
• Corporation assets.
• Other characters that you did not authorize.

NIA cannot control your character, move your ship, activate modules, accept a fleet warp, press jump, transfer ISK, change market orders, sell assets, inject skills, steal your Titan, or stop you from feeding.

ESI is access to information, not remote control of your EVE client.

Who Can Technically See Your Shit?

NIA has three administrators: Norkk and two people he personally trusts.

That is it.

There is no alliance leadership lounge full of people staring at user locations. Norkk’s entire corporation does not have administrator access. Random FCs, alliance directors, friends of friends, and whoever offers the most ISK do not get a private-intelligence button.

Administrators may technically access live private information when necessary to operate NIA, investigate abuse, respond to a security problem, or troubleshoot a user’s connection.

Could an administrator technically see your current location or other authorized information while your connection is active?

Yes.

That is being stated plainly because claiming otherwise would be dishonest bullshit.

Are the administrators using it to hunt users, sell locations, follow fleets, or hand private information to somebody else?

No.

Nobody is forming Redeemers because you signed into NIA. Nobody is moving a Sabre onto your outbound gate because your Marauder entered a Haven. Nobody is sounding the fucking war horn because your Procurer moved one system over.

Norkk probably does not know who you are and will probably never inspect your character unless you report a problem, ask for help, trigger a security concern, or accomplish something exceptionally strange.

Storage and Unlinking

NIA does not build a permanent private movement history showing everywhere you traveled, every ship you flew, and every time you logged in.

NIA stores the current private character and fleet state needed to operate its live features. Some limited fleet or operational observations may be retained for up to 24 hours when a feature needs to compare changes over time. Those private observations are not used as public intelligence.

Wallet activity and market orders are retrieved for your private My Trading workspace and are not permanently stored as a financial history in NIA’s database.

NIA must retain the authorization information necessary to keep your ESI connection working while the character remains linked.

You can revoke NIA through EVE Online’s official Authorized Applications page. Once revoked, NIA can no longer retrieve new private information for that character. When NIA detects that revocation, it removes the stored ESI authorization and associated current private state.

As far as NIA’s private ESI connection is concerned, you revoke it and you are fucking gone.

This does not erase public killmails or public activity already available from zKillboard, CCP, or other public sources. It also does not automatically delete ordinary NIA content you deliberately created, such as settings, watchlists, saved routes, or operations.

About AI, Estimates, and Other Forms of Witchcraft

NIA combines deterministic analysis with optional AI assistance.

The evidence engine performs the routine work: routes, distances, risk scores, fleet correlations, activity clusters, market calculations, production chains, and other structured analysis. AI is used when requested or when a feature specifically calls for interpretation. It is not continuously spending tokens to write dramatic fan fiction about every Venture loss in New Eden.

Neither the evidence engine nor the AI is omniscient.

Public information can be delayed. Killmails can be incomplete. Markets can move. Players can change direction, reship, dock, bridge, filament, use a wormhole, or do something so profoundly stupid that no reasonable prediction system could have anticipated it.

NIA provides evidence, estimates, warnings, and recommendations.

You remain responsible for deciding whether the Praxis is bait.

Why NIA Exists

NIA began because Norkk returned to FCing after a long break and wanted help finding content, understanding nearby activity, tracking a fleet, and answering the question every roam eventually reaches:

“Where the fuck are we going?”

He built the second brain he wished he already had.

Then the second brain discovered markets, industry, sovereignty, navigation, and apparently no longer understands the meaning of project scope.

NIA is still actively being developed. Some features are complete, some are evolving, and some may occasionally break in fascinating new ways. Useful feedback from people who actually FC, trade, build, haul, scout, hunt, or otherwise participate in New Eden is welcome.

There is a decent chance a good suggestion will be added.

There is also a decent chance your idea is complete shit.

Only one way to find out.

The Actual Serious Part

Using NIA is voluntary.

NIA needs the permissions listed above to provide its private character, fleet, and trading features. Your private information is not made available to unrelated users and is not used to power NIA’s public-intelligence systems.

Administrators may technically access private information when operating, securing, or supporting the application. They are not permitted to use it for in-game hunting, personal advantage, disclosure, or sale.

NIA’s data, route calculations, risk assessments, market prices, production estimates, AI analysis, alerts, and recommendations may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, or completely fucking wrong.

You are still the FC, trader, industrialist, hauler, or poor bastard pressing jump.

If NIA shows a lone Venture in Tama and you decide to investigate, only for Snuffed Out to light a covert cyno and deliver a massive, unlubricated shipment of Black Ops battleships directly to your face, that remains your responsibility.

NIA does not provide SRP.

NIA also does not provide the lube.

Donations and Norkk’s Financial Priorities

No real-money donations will be accepted.

Hosting, development, storage, and AI costs are Norkk’s responsibility. Nobody needs to open their real wallet to use or support NIA.

EVE ISK is another matter entirely.

If NIA helps you find content, avoid a camp, plan an operation, identify a trade, or build something profitably, ISK can be sent to:

Norkk Senstrive

An Erebus is nice.

A Vanquisher is nicer.
