Celebrated capsuleers, 

The pinnacle of the 20th anniversary celebration of EVE Online, EVE Fanfest 2023, is fast approaching, and we are thrilled to welcome a record number of capsuleers to Reykjavik to participate in cosmic revelry of epic proportions. There is a lot in store for this year’s attendees, including exciting activities like the legendary Fanfest pub crawl, tours with EVE devs and the Party at the top of the World; fascinating panels and guest talks; screenings of the Making of EVE Online documentary; and of course this year’s EVE keynote, which will take a look at the past, present and future of New Eden. EVE Fanfest 2023 is sold out, but that doesn’t mean that those pilots who won’t make it to Iceland need to miss out! The universe of EVE is expansive, and so is Fanfest, and you are all invited to join us on the Fanfest live stream.

While the number of attendees we can welcome to Reykjavik is limited, all will be welcome to join us live via CCPTV for tw...

Hardworking capsuleers,

For a limited time only, the EVE store is offering a new Union Day pack at a great value. The pack includes impressive looking Executive SKINs, Caldari crew jackets, an Advanced “Boost” Cerebral Accelerator, 1,000 PLEX, as well as 256,000 SP.

The SKINs included in the Union Day pack are brand new and exclusive, with bright orange nanocoating, paying homage to the stark yet harmonious contrast between the hard and fast work ethic of the Caldari workers and the virtues of honestly earned leisure time. Each of these SKINs is certain to turn heads wherever your adventures take you in New Eden.

In addition to this, the New Eden Store is offering a similar bundle, but replacing PLEX with Omega Time, as well as hosting a sale on past Executive SKINs for a limited time. Make sure you check them out.

Intrepid capsuleers,   

In the past week, compelled by leaked footage of an invitation from the enigmatic figure known as the Deathless and lured by promises of immense fortune from the Socety of Conscious Thought in exchange for information, pilots across the cluster ruthlessly hunted down Angel Cartel and Guristas commanders in search of any clues which might illuminate a pathway to the pirates’ destination.  

Launching toward an unknown finish line, capsuleer groups matched fragmentary data with ancient navigational technology extracted from Jove Observatories in a relentless race toward the Deathless’ invitation – and in only a few days, these perseverant pilots found what they were searching for: four cloaked Jovian stargates, long-hidden in the shadows of space. 

The first gate, in Turnur, and the third, in G-0Q86, were discovered by a WinterCo Research Group comprising the pilots BOOOOM BOM, CrysisDeathgun YoRHa, I-cute money plz, Martin Zhang, Rabbit P, 1125 ljw, and www-poi.

Greetings capsuleers!

Over the last two weeks, we have reviewed all the CSM applications to ensure that they meet the outlined guidelines and eligibility requirements. In the last two terms, our goal was to achieve a 72-hour response time for applicants - a significant improvement from the earlier 2-week waiting period. This year, we honored this commitment for 75% of the applicants. However, a few applications experienced delays, mainly due to weekend schedules and a higher-than-expected volume of applicants. Our aim is to continually refine and streamline this process. Insights gained from this year will inform improvements in future cycles, and we thank all candidates for their patience and understanding.

To give a summary and reminder of the timeline for upcoming CSM18 key dates:

• 1-15 August – Candidate submissions open

• 2-18 August – Application processing

• 23 August – Live candidate announcement <-- We are here

• 23 August – 3 September – Campaign period <-- and here!

• 4 September – 11 Sept...

Sleuthing capsuleers,

Following the disruption of Guri Malakim activity surrounding ancient Jovian sites by capsuleers earlier this year and the still-ongoing recovery of fragmentary destroyer schematics from Angel and Guristas commanders, corrupted fragments containing structural data for what appears to be a Jove stargate have begun to circulate, marked with an enigmatic emblem. Simultaneously, footage has emerged of both Cartel commando Rafik Zohar and Caldari Navy defector Esri Hakuzosu meeting with an unknown representative. The footage, showing the representative offering an invitation from the mysterious figure known only as the Deathless, has begun to spread across GalNet:

It would therefore appear, fearless capsuleers, that there are one or more stargates out there, waiting to be discovered. While it is unclear where such hidden stargates might lead, it is of the utmost importance that their locations be discovered as soon as possible. They may provide valuable insight in...

Hello spacefriends and welcome to the latest Community Beat! Lets take a look at some of the cool things that are going on across the community:

Nottingham Player Meet

Since several CCPers were in staying on in Nottingham between AT weekends we decided to put together a player meetup while we were in town. Hosted at the Bunkers Hill pub in Hockley we had expected maybe 20 or 30 people to turn up but in the end over 60 people came out to hang out for the evening, enjoy a few ales and talk about our favourite hobby - internet spaceships!

CCP Zelus, CCP Bee, CCP Swift, CCP Kestrel, CCP Overload and CCP Convict were all there along with members of the EVE_NT AT crew. We also had current, former and prospective CSM members and one of our hard-working ISD volunteers joining us too.

Some lucky players took home stunning Lloyd George watercolor prints featuring ships such as the Widow, Drekevac and Hel, as well as Rifter USB hubs. We had a great time meeting everyone and sharing EVE stories with y...

The final weekend of Alliance Tournament XIX is almost here!

32 Alliances entered the Tournament and, after an absolute bloodbath, with the loss of 11 flagships with an estimated value of between 600-700 billion ISK! After some truly epic matches we have to say goodbye to the following Alliances from the tournament.

Eliminated

We thank them for their efforts and wish them good luck in future tournaments!

This leaves us with 18 teams, of which, 16 still have the power of their Flagships.

With the action boiling up over this coming weekend, let's do a quick recap on the tournament so far as well as details for this weekend's events!

It's been a little over six weeks since the tournament trumpets first sounded in the first rounds of the Alliance Tournament, the feeder rounds, back at the end of June/start of July. With 48 teams registering at the start of the Tournament, we needed to whittle that number down to 28, combined with the 4 winners from last year, which gives us our regular, 32-team, Double-Elimination bracket.

The full list of alliances is as follows:

Combatative capsuleers,

To mark the arrival of the long-awaited Alliance Tournament XIX, pilots can now trade just 10 PLEX for 10 days of Omega time, over at the New Eden Store! You have until 23:59 UTC on 20 August to seize this offer.
