EVE Online: FanFest 2012 – Party on Top of the World
Mar 27th
Last week marked the annual CCP – EVE Online FanFest. We were on hand to hear all of the good things coming about about EVE Online and more. In this event report, we give you the skinny on all the haps at the Party on Top of the World. Check it out!
The latest 'fan group hug' at EveFest this year had the developer opening their hard drives and letting the contents spill out in keynote presentations, round table discussion, and more than a few bar crawls. Gaming might not be rock 'n' roll but CCP are always ready to give it their all, wireless keyboard and headset at the ready.

EVE Online: The EVE Online Re-Review
Mar 21st
Adam Tingle has been playing EVE Online for a good long while and has plenty to say about a game that continues to outperform many of its more current competitors. See how EVE Online fares after all this time in our latest re-review. Leave us your thoughts in the comments.
Let's just get it out of the way – if I could, I would marry, buy a condo, and have children with Eve Online: It is just that damn sexy. With that said, let's get on with the formal make-out session I like to call a review.

Pandemic Legion Titan is Destroyed – news from EvE
Mar 20th
Amamake, Heimatar – A few nights ago, a mixed fleet of Faction Warfare capsuleers, mostly in dreadnaughts and battleships, ambushed and destroyed a Pandemic Legion titan in Amamake.
The planning itself was done in secrecy – only the planners themselves, Tekitha and Lock Out of Shadows of the Federaion and First General of Wolfsbrigade, along with a few trusted aides were informed of the plan, with the hope that it would help keep details of the attack from Pandemic Legion’s spy network.
Most of the members of the 85-man fleet did not know the full plan even as they set off for the selected locations and found ships waiting for them there. Before long they were rewarded with a sighting of a titan.
Cloaked ships suddenly lit off cynosaural beacons, a titan jump bridge was established and the fleet jumped in to attack the Erebus.
That part of the plan can be said to have gone off perfectly. Unfortunately a large contingent of the Pandemic Legion fleet was only one jump away, waiting for their scouts to report a target, and most of the combined Shadows of the Federation and Wolfsbrigade fleet was destroyed in short order.
When asked for comment on the destruction of their More >
CSM Candidate Interviews: Part III – news from EvE
Mar 20th
With just hours left in the CSM elections, this may be the last chance for voters to learn a little about the candidates.
Interstellar Correspondents asked candidates several questions in order to better understand who they are; where do they live? What do they do? What qualifications do they have? Some of the candidates are very serious while others take a lighter view of the universe we live in.
We have only included candidates that responded to our request. The field is much larger, and we encourage you to vote for a candidate that you trust. The full list of candidates and voting opportunities is in the link at the bottom of this article.
Sollana
Sollana operates in nullsec space around the Providence region. She focuses on industry and combat and claims that “defending Providence is a busy pastime.” She is currently a director in the executive corporation of CVA and “when needed acts on behalf of our CEO within our corp, and with others on the behalf of CVA and its allies.”
While Sollana believes that the CSM system is “not broken”, she thinks it is “in need of some TLC.” She claims that “capsuleers are a fickle bunch, CSM is here to get More >
CSM Candidate Interviews: Part II – news from EvE
Mar 20th
With just hours left in the CSM elections, this may be the last chance for voters to learn a little about the candidates.
Interstellar Correspondents asked candidates several questions in order to better understand who they are; where do they live? What do they do? What qualifications do they have? Some of the candidates are very serious while others take a lighter view of the universe we live in. Here are their stories:
Issler Dainze
Issler Dainze spends most of her life in lowsec and is “interested in seeing lowsec made relevant.” Her time is spent managing logistical chains for her industrial corp which produces T2 ships. As for her role in New Eden’s community, she claims to have driven the issue of “ambulation” and has served on the CSM twice.
When asked about issues regarding capsuleer governance, she believes that it is “all but guaranteed to be run by the powerblocks that do not represent the majority of New Eden.” As for the CSM’s purpose, she believes that the council does influence the future and the shape which New Eden will take.
Two Step
Two Step lives mostly in wormhole space. His primary activity is combat, however he also engages in “T2 and T3 production More >
CSM Candidate Interviews: Part I – news from EvE
Mar 20th
With the CSM elections coming soon, Interstellar Correspondents asked candidates several questions in order to better understand who they are; where they live? What they do? What qualifications they have?
Some of the candidates are very serious while others take a lighter view of the universe we live in. Here are the first of their stories:
Darius III
Darius III spends most of his time in low and null-sec engaging in combat. When asked about what leadership role he has taken in New Eden, he responds by saying he has “taken initiative in shutting down incursions” in order to bring to light their greater implications across New Eden. Not to mention his leadership when it comes to innovative new ways in “tear farming”.
He also believes that capusleer governance is “perfect”. Any system that allows “vote scamming represents [New Eden] to a ‘T’”. As a CSM he belives he has “personally influenced the lives of 1500 plus [capsuleers] by killing them, not including the 100 plus pods that were AFK in Jita”.
Greene Lee
Greene Lee spends most of her time in null-sec as a member of [AAA], but admits to “knowing high-sec life very well”. She engages in combat, diplomacy, alliance leadership and leading More >
EVE Online: Closing a Chapter
Mar 19th
Change is an inevitable part of life in general, and of EVE Online specifically and big changes have been ongoing since the close of 2011. In today's One Jump Home, we take a look at some of the momentous alterations in EVE Online. Keep reading!
But when the Drone Regions were added, CCP took an alternate route when it came to the rewards players would be given in exchange for killing the NPCs they found throughout their space: Minerals. Specifically compounds which were then refined into minerals. Previously the only way to acquire raw materials to build ships in EVE Online was mainly through the act of mining. Slaving away at an asteroid for endless hours in a mining barge, sucking rocks through a tube to finance your activities in EVE Online. And for a while this was an entirely legitimate way of making ISK in EVE, there was always a demand to replace ships and modules lost in combat or through pilot error. And so CCP took it upon themselves to create these regions in order to make sure there'd be an abundance of mineral income across the game.
