Yup, it’s that time again, time for those weekly highlights of things that have peeked my interest.
Just a quick note, Hellhounds and Hellcats are still recruiting, head over and put your application in today!
- FANFEST WILL BE FROM MARCH 24-26 OF 2010?!?!? That’s right, there will be no fanfest this year. CCP has made the decision to hold Fanfest during the spring, so that we all can enjoy the beauty of Iceland when it’s not cold enough for various appendages to freeze and fall off your body!
- CCP announced The Great Deep Safe Nerf of 2010. For the TL;DR version, you will only be able to create a bookmark that is a max of 10 AU from the furthermost celestial object in a system. No more 100 AU safe spots. They will also be destroying any objects that are at deep safe spots when the Tyranis expansion is deployed on the servers on May 18th. I personally have used deep safes a few times, but all in all, I usually fit a cloak on a ship if I am in a position where I know I will need to be safe. Needless to say, the comments thread has a strong response from the community and we should see a revised dev blog concerning this issue soon.
- The war in Providence heated up over this past weekend and well…CVA is out of Providence. It’s all over for them in nullsec for now. I tell ya, I didn’t think I would be around to see it happen. So, the big question is what happens to Providence now? We will learn soon enough, but I would not be at all surprised if Ushra’Khan ends up moving out of their systems in Catch and staying mainly in Providence. Look for things to unfold in the next few weeks!
- As always, update work for the blogs listed on The EVE Online Portal and the OPML download files Mandrill and I maintain continues.
See you out there!

Yup, it’s that time again, time for those weekly highlights of things that have peeked my interest.
I am going to take a moment for a shameless plug here. Recently I became the CEO of Hellhounds, the sister corp to Hellcats. Summer is fast approaching and we are actively recruiting. Head over to the EVE forums and check out the recruitment threads:
Hellcats, a women’s only corp in EVE Online!
Hellhounds, for the gentleman pirates of New Eden!
And now, the fun stuff for the week!
See you out there!

CONGRATULATIONS NASHH KADAVR AND HIS WIFE!
The most important news of the week happened on Wednesday, March 17th. Nashh Kadavr and his real life wife were blessed with a beautiful baby!
Now that we got the important news out of the way, here’s the EVE Online highlights for this week:
- Hellfleet continues to engage in fun piracy operations. Mynxee regales for us our latest operation in Roll Those Dice, Baby!
- CCP has released a teaser video for the Tyrannis Expansion.
- Python Cartel celebrated their first birthday, happy birthday guys!
- Titus Balls created a twitter auto-responder for the Tweetfleet. This will perform a price check for an item on the market. It’s still in development, but it works. Head over to his post, For the Tweetfleet and check it out!
- ProviWar continues. I’ve not kept up with the exact details of what’s happened in the past week, however, I am still of the mind that CVA as we knew them are gone.. The strategy of ‘don’t fight, they will get bored’ will not save them and in reality, it’s far too late for CVA to mount an effective defense of their space.
- Casellia Truza wrote an interesting article on Why “The Empyrean Age” sucks. He’s not referring to the EVE Online Expansion rather the novel that was released at the same time. I have to agree with my friend here, the book was a good ‘starter novel’ for a writer, but it lacked enough to really be called a ‘good novel’. The discussion on his post is worth a good look as well as the views on how we fans want such novels to be good.
- Petrus Blackshell over at Blackshell Ship Log wrote a great guide on turrets, a good read, gotta give it 3 acorns!
- More people updated us with what their EVESpace looks like.
- As always, update work for the blogs listed on The EVE Online Portal and the OPML download files Mandrill and I maintain continues. Mandrill has an update coming around March 21, so keep your eyes open for that update.
See you out there!

This Weekly Highlights posts is a bit different than my last ones because I have something to celebrate. I’ve been playing EVE Online as Ga’len for four years now.
Yup, 4 years….wow.
Five years ago my wife created a character in EVE online. I joined her in trying out EVE, but my attention at the time was with another MMORPG. That game fail cascaded in such a fashion that when someone utters the words, Star Wars Galaxies, well, if you don’t know, go Google it.
So, after that debacle, I had free time to spend and I thought I would give EVE a go again. That was four years ago and I tell ya, it’s been a fun ride. I’ve spent time as a carebear in Empire, fought in many Empire wars, been a solo pirate and merc, been a director of a pirate alliance, fought for a nullsec alliance and most recently, joined HellFleet for more Yarr-ing fun.
I can say that I’ve pretty much done it all. So, what do you do after four years? Well, I tell ya, I’ve spent all my time doing these things and it’s always been a surprise how things have gone. I’ll do what I always have done, just wander about and let things happen. That’s when you have the most fun, when you get pulled into something.
And now, here are some of the highlights for the week:
- Piracy fun with HellFleet is well underway. We took down a POS owned by an inactive corp. Much fun ensued, read the whole story over at Mynxee’s blog, The Measure of Success!
- ProviWar continues (http://www.eve-druid.com/ProviWar). I may no longer be fighting as a Warrior of the Ushra’Khan, but I can’t stop watching what’s going on. They are still my friends and I do hope they succeed in these operations. -A- continue their push into Providence, Sylph is no more (congratulations to Ushra’Khan) and things continue to progress as -A- takes sov in Y-MPWL and Ushra’Khan takes G-5EN2. This closed the connections from Providence to High Sec space in Tash-Murkon and NPC 0.0 in Derelik respectively. The only other high sec entrance/exit into Providence is now the R3-K7K/Misaba gate as all other systems high sec entrance/exit points have been taken. It is highly likely that this system will also fall by this weekend as I can see while I finish up this blog post on Thursday evening, CVA has lost sov there. With the only other logistical option being the use of jump freighters to get materials into the region and no guarantee of safely flying out said jump freighters, it will only be a matter of time before they regions completely falls. CVA and friends are very neatly boxed into their space.
- CCP released a very open and honest devblog concerning the server stability issues that have been plaguing the game since late November. I know I have been very critical of CCP for these issues in the past. I want to say, this devblog is a step in the right direction. The more technical information concerning these issues is communicated will lead to more of us who work with these technologies being able to provide help. Keep it coming CCP, we are here to help you and we are more than willing.
- CCP “Laser Focus” God Torfi was interview at Ten Ton Hammer on the upcoming Tyrannis Expansion, read all about the cool stuff they are going to do with Planetary Interaction.
- Silver Night has announced a fiction writing contest with some decent prizes, head over and get out those writing tools!
- The next EVE novel, EVE: The Burning Life, is available for pre-order on Amazon.com for less than the listing price. The novel should be released on March 30th as per the Amazon ordering page. Head over and order your copy today!
- More and more people are posting pictures of their “EVESpace”, you can read all about them.
- EVOGANDA has put together a little something for all us iPhone/iPod Touch users, some wallpapers! Check them out!
- As always, update work for the blogs listed on The EVE Online Portal and the OPML download files Mandrill and I maintain continues. Head over and see who we added this week!
