Today's (Oct 3) is the last day for the Universal Glory Sweepstakes! CCP is giving away some nice stuff. Just watch this vid and answer two questions on the entry form: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGplrpWvz0I&feature=player_embedded

I was fooling around with Last.FM and discovered something: If you go to "Create a Station" and enter "EvE Online", Last.FM will start playing spacey music. :) Thought that was interesting. :D

Ask ten players what they want and you'll get 10 answers, plus a whine. Still, some issues just keep coming up over and over again and never cease to get attention. If you had to choose only one issue to be addressed in 2010, which one would it be?

Absolutely epic. Goonswarm has managed to destroy their own empire by failing to pay the bills. Word has it some of the top Goon leaders are away on vacation or something and may not even be aware of what has happened. :D The question is, where will they go if they lose Delve? That certainly...

Here is a variety of EVE Online info from Fanfest 2009 provided by various sources. Dominion presentation live from the stage at Fanfest 09, presented by mmorpg italia: Part 1: MlTUIA7LfeM Part 2 ReMqMPcDo7s Another look at the new planet graphics: fC6umiqm3gY Miscellaneous...

This isn't very good quality, but here's a video showing a warpin to a planet sporting the new graphics. This particular planet is live on SISI at the moment. http://dl.eve-files.com/media/0910/planetwarpin.wmv

It looks like motherships are finally going to get some love. Thank goodness! It looks like CCP has been listening and is going to implement the changes suggested by players. According to the latest dev blog, there will be no more Motherships in EVE. In their current form, Motherships are...

Is this a good game?

This is a topic I see crop up from time to time in EVE. Do you think the gates actually improve EVE's gameplay? There are those who feel the gates manage to make space feel small and crowded instead of vast and mysterious.

The EVE Online Alliance Tournament is the ultimate battlefield in which the top pilots in EVE Online fight for the glory and honour of their alliance. 64 Alliances compete over 3 weekends of intense, explosive action, with the final weekend broadcast live via EVE TV in High Definition. Video...

Why is that?

I'm looking for a new ship for small gang PvP and possibly some gatecamp work. I usually fly a BS, but I'm tired of being slow and getting ambushed by gangs of smaller, faster ships. Suggestions?

I've been thinking about what role the different ship classes could play based on their strengths and weaknesses. While they don't really differ from class to class as much as in actual historical naval warfare, there are some things that one class will do better than another class in Eve...

This is a brilliant promo vid: 08hmqyejCYU It worked so well that even though I've been having fun with X3, I think I'll resubscribe for a month (yes, I'm a soft touch). :) I hate this, though. There is always such a long time between renewals for me, that is takes the better part of a day...

CCP Unveils DUST 514 Cologne, GERMANY, Game Developers Conference Europe – August 18, 2009 – CCP today revealed DUST 514™, a console-based hybrid MMO/FPS set within the EVE universe. The announcement, which included a video featuring gameplay footage, was made during a keynote address by CCP...

Will anyone from around these parts be attending Fanfest this year?

A lot of whining going on these days about lasers being the "I win" button. To be perfectly honest, I don't agree. The only thing I see is a weapons system that actually works and hasn't been nerfed to hell by CCP. I say the right thing to do this is to fix the systems that have issues...

Every pilot does stupid things from time to time. In EVE, it seems that screwing up in public (or in fleet) and suffering the ensuing embarrassment is much worse than the actual loss of ship and ISK. So what stupid things have you done lately?

You can't read too much into a poll like this as many people do a lot of different things in EVE, so let's just talk about your main.
