Molden Heath – Teonusude Republic Independent Agency Division [T.R.I.A.D] has announced that a capsuleer has reached the highest agency standing available.

Axl Borlara has been crowned the first capsuleer in the agency’s history to achieve the highest standing possible of 10.00, an achievement which T.R.I.A.D founder DeT Resprox, was very pleased to announce: “To reach 10.00 is an incredible achievement in itself and shows Axl Borlara’s dedication to the cause. Axl is now the proud owner of the first ever issued ’T.R.I.A.D Elite’ medal which is only awarded to those who have reached 10.00 agency standing.”

Axl described his feelings towards receiving the highest standing and what he did to achieve it: “I am somewhat surprised to say the least, but very proud of the achievement… The majority has been supply missions via the T.R.I.A.D market. The agency has its own fully functioning market. Capsuleers can sell items to the agency, gaining agency standing and loyalty points as well as the obvious ISK.”

When asked about capsuleer participation within T.R.I.A.D, DeT Resprox stated that “some campaigns can have up to 30 capsuleers involved. These campaigns can last several hours, days or even weeks depending on the objectives. In the past month, 137 missions have More >

New Caldari, The Forge – Sansha’s Nation forces have been assaulting trade routes throughout New Eden, disrupting both market hubs hubs and popular shipping routes. Over the past two weeks, Sansha’s Nation forces have attacked multiple solar systems including Kador Prime, New Caldari and Altrinur. It is their newfound interest in trade routes, however, that is causing concern among capsuleers. Capsuleer Ace Echo, who was present during the New Caldari attack, said “This recent rash of attacks seems to be part of Kuvakei’s plan to disrupt and destroy capsuleer resistance directly. Attacking the economic base of the galaxy is a sure way to grab attention and to do damage to the core of New Eden.” He went on to speak specifically about the New Caldari incursion. “This assault, close to a gate into Jita, was successful in taking out many neutral trading ships that were unsuspecting of the dangers at the gate.” He believed that a Nation attack in Jita itself would prove too difficult for a Nation force, however, drawing swift and powerful defence. Capsuleer Grideris, a combat pilot with an anti-sansha stance, also expressed a belief that Sansha’s Nation is focusing its attacks on trade routes. “I believe they More >

​Stain, New Eden. Some days ago, an intrepid reporter took it upon herself to request an interview from Sansha Kuvakei, the man behind Nation.

Tell me about your early life, where you went to school and your early childhood.

“I would like to begin this interview first by expressing my gratitude for this opportunity to communicate directly with the people of New Eden as well as my admiration for your bravery in visiting our base of operations here in the Stain region. I sincerely hope you find our accommodations pleasant. My origin is not unlike that of millions of other young Deteis citizens raised during the war. Naturally, it is the great Gallente-Caldari War I speak of, a conflict that dwarfs anything you have experienced since. My family was deeply involved in military technology and mass production, eagerly providing anything we could to help the State defeat its mortal enemy.

The most important lessons I learned during that time related to the strategic advantage of high technology and the problem of sustained morale over lengthy campaigns. These issues would later contribute to the founding ideals of Nation.”

What inspired the founding of Nation?

“In this modern age of snapshot battles and week-long wars, I doubt More >

​Luminaire, Essence – Eve Online Hold’Em Poker [EOH] will be giving away one of the Alliance Tournament IX prize vessels, the Vangel Amarrian Cruiser, as top prize in a multi-table poker tournament to be held tonight.

The special 30 man multi-table tournament will begin on August 7th at 22:00 New Eden time, in celebration of EOH reaching 30,000 account registrations over the past three years.

The capsuleer in first place will receive a Vangel, with second prize being 12 Pilot Licence Extensions, and third prize being 6 Pilot Licence Extensions. The remaining 27 capsuleers will also win a prize, ranging from a Bhaalgorn to a Cruor. To enter, capsuleers had to have played on EOH between Friday 29th July and Saturday 6th August. 30 of those players have been chosen at random to participate in the multi-table tournament.

Speaking to EOH owner Selene D’Celeste, she explained why she chose a Vangel as the top prize, “the Vangel is one of the nicest looking ships to come out of the Alliance Tournaments, and it is also very new. This makes it a very nice choice as a prize.” When asked if 30 man multi-tables were typically hosted by EOH, Selene replied, “we regularly host multi-table More >

The next mass test will take place on Tuesday, August 9 at 20:00 UTC, and will be held on the Singularity Server.  We will look at changes to the docking and undocking process along with general performance in fleet fights. The SisiLauncher tool is available for this test.

We need at least 350 players to come out and test but 550 would be the ideal number for this test. Testing should last between 60 to 90 minutes and all participants will receive two million skillpoints on Singularity.

See this thread for more information about how you can take part and this EVElopedia article for more information on mass testing.
