E-ON Issue 008

Issue #008

Cover feature: Pirate Faction Battleships

E-ON has featured Testflight since the very first issue, but with Faction ships becoming evermore popular, and more affordable, it seemed the right time to get our ship expert, Farjung, to go into the ins and outs of fitting and using each of the five Pirate Faction Battleships. Until Tech II Battleships arrive, and even after, these ships are seen very much as EVE's high-performance muscle cars, and whilst that fact would hardly be likely to impress a potential mate, the ships are imposing enough to impress a potential enemy.

E-ON Awards Winners

It's time to announce the candidates you nominated to go through to the final round of voting in the inaugural E-ON awards, in recognition of the unending greatness of the EVE player community. We profile all the nominees and pass judgment on their brilliance.

Insider Guides

As well as part 3 of Boda Khan's guide to The Second Genesis CCG, Nyphur offers an extensive guide to those new-fangled rig thingamajigs that came out with last year's Revelations I. And if that wasn't enough, the combined literary force of Joerd Toastius and Dnightmare has resulted in a guide to exploration, which serves as a fine continuation of last issue's Probing Guide.

Happy Birthday CCP!

Having recently turned 10 years young, we go back to the dawn of EVE to find out how it was during EVE's big bang, the grand ideas, what the development process was like, all the way to the game's first release in 2003.
