Cover feature: '200 Rounds'

Tom Czerniawski - better known to some as scumbag mercenary Istvaan Shogaatsu - pens a tale of three scavengers lured by the legend of treasure aboard a desolate ship, an opulent cruise liner that once ferried the rich and famous across space. The mission is simple; get in, get the loot and get out, and perhaps buy a small orbital platform among the gated farways of Jita… at least, that's the plan… Other stories are 'The Dragon' by Andrew Dice and 'My Better Half', also by TC.

New Edens

Atmospheric flight was first demo'd to a whooping crowd at Fanfest 2004, but since then CCP has diverted all mention of players ever being able to fly across mountains and land at ground bases across EVE's countless planets. Until now.

Movie Epic

We talk to the talented team behind Darwin's Contraption, the CG movie trilogy that's been more than two years in the making. Plus EveTV's anchorman, SpiralJunkie remembers what it was like preparing for, and broadcasting at, the second Alliance PvP Tournament.

Iron Tide poster (for subscribers only, while stocks last)

This issue we bring you a fantastic free poster, the acclaimed Iron Tide by Meridius. This poster is huge, virtually a meter wide in fact, of pure EVE pleasure you can hang on your wall. On the reverse is a picture of what EVE looks like during downtime. This poster is for ALL subscribers (whether new or current - we're too good to you), so if you want a poster click on that link.

Insider Guides

With the EVE CCG in the hands of players, we've decided to start a regular look at the game, with this first installment looking at deck construction. Our other guides are more concerned with in-game mechanics, with in-depth probing into to moon mining and mission running.

Plus

DigitalCommunist takes Stealth Bombers for a spin in Testflight, CCP's Magnus and Redundancy tell us their stories and we have character profiles on Omber Zombie, Raem Civrie and Caytlyn Rose. Somewhere amongst all this, Stavros also pops up, but that page is easily removable.
