E-ON Issue 004

Issue #004

Cover feature: 'Holy Trinity'

CCP can talk the talk, but can they walk the walk? After last issue's wordy coverage of CCP's long-term plan to fluff up EVE, it's time to let the pictures do the talking. Inside this issue are new ships, old ships, stations, planets and shimmering stars, rebuilt to take advantage of per-pixel lighting, HD range filtering and other nonsensical gfx jargon effects. This is in-game stuff, mind. EVE's tomorrow today (or should that be the other way around?).

Careering

Pirate, industry mogul, spy, haulier, miner, serial corpse abuser - these are well-established paths to fame and fortune, open to all, new or old. Soon, however, there will be even more to put on your resume; how about explorer, hobo - sorry, 'salvage expert' - or, maybe, just maybe, bounty hunter?

Testflight: Interdictors

Tools for territorial control or a Dev's tribute to the lazy ganker? Somewhere in between, says E-ON's chief testpilot, DigitalCommunist, as he straps himself in to the Flycatcher, Sabre, Heretic and Eris.

Insider Guides to Skills and Piracy

With the number of skills ever increasing and the time required to excel in all of them now counted in decades rather than years, it's time to maybe think about planning which skills to train to be more effective in your chosen speciality. Also, the dark art of piracy is laid bare in a monster, eight-page guide by all-round bad egg and cad of the highest water, Verone.
