Fanfest just wrapped for 2016, and EVE is already totally on fire once again. World War Bee now has the potential to explode into a Goon Civil War with the return one of it’s infamous former CEOs. That man is the one-and-only Darius Johnson, former CSM member, CCP employee and now, head of the revived
These past few days have led to even more drama in the great World War Bee. Two major developments have occurred, one which everyone saw coming, the handful of other changes being a little less expected. SMA FALLS First, we have the full retreat of Imperium alliance SMA from Sovereign NullSec space. No one is
As MBC and CFC/Imperium forces continue to engage each other on the field of battle, Spacemonkey’s Alliance is suffering in Fade. As of this week, Fade has all but fallen to MBC forces; with Pandemic Horde claiming the most systems, including the former SMA staging system of O1Y-ED. The drama with SMA leaving Fade has
After the fleeing of CO2 from the Imperium, yet another alliance has chosen to pull back from the fighting to save themselves. While not as bad as leaving the coalition, the admission that SOV under Aegis is too much to handle in a large defensive war that is implied by the SMA announcement is pretty
It would appear that projections in my initial post about the Imperium, formerly CFC, surviving the ongoing defensive war have just taken a turn towards being proven false. In a somewhat shocking turn of events, the head diplomat for the long-time member alliance Circle-of-Two, has announced that they’re resetting the alliance. As of writing, the
For those even remotely paying attention to EVE over the last few months, the last couple weeks have been an amazing mixture of tensions and terror. Entire books could be written, although probably not Kickstarted, about the decisions and general attitude of certain alliances in EVE Online that led to the current war. The sum
Over the last few weeks, various alliances and figures within the Imperium (formerly CFC) have faced a fair amount of backlash, departures and criticism. Earlier today, that trend continued. Noted member corporation of the GSF Bat Country has formally announced their departure from the alliance and NullSec space in general. As of today, Bat Country
As the Imperium continues it’s campaign to bring it’s contentious Viceroyalty program to LowSec space, the local residents are all too happy to resist. The small skirmishes had throughout various LowSec regions culminated in a large brawl in the Black Rise system of Nisuwa. The total number of pilots involved approached 600 throughout the several
Citing the torrent of criticism and bad decisions made by leaders on the project, The Mittani announced the closure of the project. He did however remain hopeful that the project would return with significant changes in March 2016. The project itself faced an onslaught of criticism since it’s inception. Ranging from questions of motivation and
UPDATE: An extensive series of leaks regarding alleged collusion among Imperium and other Null alliances has been posted on Reddit. A variety of logs and screenshots have created a damning series of allegations against the TMC kickstarter for the Fountain War book. Check the thread here. As expected, the resulting threads are filled with bickering
The following opinion piece makes assumptions about the tactical and strategic nature of various alliances within New Eden. The motivations, targeted entities, and overall objectives are likely to change rather quickly. Take this piece with a grain of salt. A recent announcement from within the Imperium shows that the currently dominant NullSec coalition will be
With the announcement of the Imperium invasion of Providence. Everyone and their grandmother have been reviewing the Imperium war plan and considering whether or not they would want to play “Honorable Third Party”, and deploy to the area to get in on the action. Based on various leaks, at least two other non Provi or
This week has seen it’s fair share of drama, combat, and general capsuleer shenanigans. The major developments are somewhat unexpected, as Fozziesov has not been the great catalyst for fights over space that some expected. The trend of alliances losing space looks to be more heavily influenced by political drama. Although it seems all but
The release of Fozziesov has created quite a bit of action in terms of EVE gameplay and the overall meta-game. Discussions on this iteration on the Meta Show ranged from spying and intel changes within the Imperium and New Eden in general, to the psychological impact on the game. As well as the potential swings
At 03:30 EVE Time in the system of 1-5GBW a POS belonging to BRAVE which contained a Supercap assembly array came out of reinforce. This was the second of these POSes in the system to come out after being reinforced by Black Legion. this week. After losing the first POS to a BL cap blob,
With small clashes breaking out all over New Eden this week, plenty of supers, capitals, and their pilots and crews met their end in these last tumultuous days of the month. HERO and BL. continue their skirmishing over Fountain, while Imperium and friends are spending time brawling in Providence. NC. and PL continue their wars
As a supercap fleet belonging to Imperium was tackled by a combined 40 dreadnaught with dictor support hotdrop belonging to Black Legion. and Fountain Core. In response, HERO and Imperium forces piled into KVN-36 to attempt to extract the supers. Of the initial move op involving 6 supers, 5 of them went down quickly. Despite
Fountain Starting off the week, lets focus on the region of Fountain. Wherein HERO coalition has begun beating the drum against Black Legion. in the Chimera constellation. Black Legion currently holds the valuable system of CHA2-Q. They have begun to expand, creating a deluge of timers in the systems of; 7BX-6F, 6VDT-H, NY6-FH, and HMF-9D.
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
With HERO settling in to their claimed half of Fountain, the defensive lines of Fozziesov are starting to take shape. It seems that HERO will use the chokepoint systems of K8L-X7 and 9-VO0Q as the lines in the sand to mark the edge of their territory. The idea of holding a little over half of
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 recent rumor of BRAVE returning to Null has been confirmed. Lychton and June Ting announced the plan to temporarily set the Imperium to positive standings to allow line members to carry on unimpeded. This was later confirmed via both a leak from LAWN, and jabber ping from Imperium head Mittani. Below, readers will find
Just moments ago, The Mittani confirmed recent rumors of Fatal Ascension shutting down. He did this in a coalition wide jabber announcement which you can read below, Enjoy! Another former Fountain sov holder, Executive Outcomes [.EXE], is also making changes – though rather less drastic. Their move from their current home in Cloud Ring to
