EVE Online players will know this by now, but “Blackout” was chaotic and fun. The forced removal of instantly updated chat channels in the most populous regions of the game sewed plenty of PvP and market chaos, leading to a lot of fallout, some of it wasn’t so good though. Despite a reduction in botting
So there’s some pretty bad news today for EVE Online players. Developer CCP just dropped some major news concerning the referral program, announcing that it will no longer reward PLEX at all to those who recruit new players. We won’t mince words here, you can find the new reward structure down below. Also, this is
CCP has been working hard to bring veteran players back, and new players in, to the world of New Eden and EVE Online. The push to free-to-play with alpha clone states was just the beginning, over the last couple of years, things have gotten a lot more interesting and complex. Although one area new players
When asking EVE Online players about “Ratting” and how to do it, or the practice of killing NPC ships for ISK, you’ll often get inundated with responses that amount to, “Use a VNI, and tank your resists to the rats you’re fighting.” This is great advice for an era of EVE that’s long overdue for
A relative newcomer to the NullSec scene in EVE Online, Skill Urself is gearing up to shut down operations at an alliance level, setting the stage for a pretty major shake of the eastern part of NullSec space. The northeast of NullSec, often colloquially referred to as the Drone Regions due to the presence of
Politics is already an incredibly complicated topic in EVE Online. The psychology of the EVE players is a very complex beast, and understanding it is key to designing the game that they will want to keep playing. And one key element of that process is understanding when and why players wage war. After all, EVE
CCP is about to shakeup New Eden in a big way. EVE players seem pretty excited about these changes, and they should be, they’re very helpful for increasing player engagement in crucial game mechanics. Currently in EVE Online, the movement of jump-capable ships (ships with a jump drive that can move between systems without Stargates),
According to a recent dev Post by CCP RedDawn, Eve’s exploration aspect will soon be seeing some tweaks and changes. The focus of the changes will mainly be targeting the mechanics of Data Sites. The changes proposed are intended to help re-balance the Data Sites and make them more useful and profitable for players. To
With the new sovereignty system less than 36 hours away, a lot of new developments have come to fruition and the potential nullsec political landscape changes are starting to take shape. This post will be my attempt at a general recap of some of the noteworthy events in the last week. ProGodLegend Departs Nulli Secunda
Alton Haveri reports on the Amarr Empire’s surprise release of DED based shielding technology to capsuleers, with many believing it to be a move to improve relations and garner their assistance against the impending Drifter threat. Meanwhile, the absence of Empress Jamyl Sarum from public appearances continues to drive speculation about her wellbeing. Start playing
Target Caller just published an article asking for ideas on how to make SOV Null more appealing to players, and not just those in large coalitions. The primary focus of the discussion will be how “Phase 3” of SOV changes will possibly impact the balance of power among player groups – as well as what
CCP recently detailed coming changes to various aspects of EVE Online. They are continuing the process of streamlining module tiers for ease-of-use, as well as a nerf to sentry drones to counter the power of drone platforms in the current meta. CCP Fozzie just announced the upcoming Sentry Drone changes for the Carnyx expansion: Hey
So, the promised but not so secret announcement from Imperium has dropped. Mittani is planning to do a dual victory lap after their EVE win recently. They are first going to burn down a Revenant. Yes, they’ll build the rarest super in the game and then let their members shoot it. But, that’s not the
In a world where most “propaganda” passes by unnoticed as nothing more than low-quality gameplay with generic buttrock layered on top; there are always a few bright stars. Today brings us two examples of said shininess. First up is Test Alliance – Fly The above video is an example of how simple edits and stylistic
This week has been relatively quiet in terms of both SOV warfare and political drama. A few fights have broken out as the Fountain invasion and subsequent Delve war end, capsuleers brawl with Drifters in Yulai, and HERO opens up shop in Fountain. As NC. completes its’ withdrawal from Null and SOV, it seems they’ve
A new Scope video was published by CCP today. The subject was the autopsy report on a captured Drifter corpse. Surprisingly, the station in Yulai where the report was being broadcast from came under attack from a group of Drifter battleships. The Drifters lost multiple battleships while only killing 10 capsuleer ships (1 Malediction, 1

It’s no secret that the coming changes to SOV will be the death of some current aspects of life in Nullsec portions of New Eden. I’d like to take this time to speculate on what that future might look like, and how players might react to it. I’m going to break this down into a
A lot of news coming out of the galactic West today, A jabber ping from GSF/CFC head TheMittani details both a coming CEO update, and plans to remove coalition forces from the region of Fountain. It appears the idea of forming a super dense defensive pocket around Deklein is alive and well within the CFC.
An amazing trailer that blends the eloquent and insightful words of the great Carl Sagan with EVE Online.
Check out the return of TheMittani to the Meta Show. The usual suspects of Laz, and Nystrik join him to discuss the general festivities in EVE Online.
