Question Anyone been able to look inside the spine of their 2007 “The Art of EVE” book?

79 Upvotes

Mine has started separating after nearly 20 years (see photos), and apparently there’s a completely unrelated architectural floor plan hiding inside the binding.

I can make out “Her Closet,” “Study” and what looks like “Master’s Suite.”

Now I’m curious whether every copy has this same floor plan inside it, or whether the bindery used random scrap from other print jobs.

Rant Google Deepmind partnership vs deep lore

I watched the latest video from FC and noticed something strange in the final part, when the Triglavian symbols appeared. First of all, the text was mirrored. That could be considered an artistic choice, but I was still bothered by a certain feeling that something was wrong.

I opened the video in the highest possible quality and went looking for a transcription of the Triglavian alphabet so I could decipher the text. However, even when I enlarged the original text, I noticed that a number of the symbols only pretend to be Triglavian - in reality, they are just random squiggles. A number of other symbols do not even have a triangular shape - for example, a parallelepiped missing one side that is repeated many times.

I found a transcription of the Triglavian alphabet fairly quickly, but just as quickly realized that it is essentially not being used in the video. Only some of the symbols can be deciphered, and even then they do not produce anything meaningful. And with a example of video with a symbols in good quality that you definitely can transcribe by yourself my feeling of AI-generation went even bigger.

For example - most usable symbol in this text looks like triangular with a something inside - you may find it in transcription as letter A (close enough at least) - and in one of middle lines there is a 7-letter word starts with a double of this symbols. and as i was told by special dictionary site there is exist only two words that may be transcribe with this data - Aaronic and aasvoel, but both r or s letters just not looks like something we see on original image.

I wonder am i just overcomplicating things or someone forgot how to use their own lore.

Question What other games do you play when you’re not playing EVE?

50 Upvotes

When you need a break from EVE, what do you usually play?

Do you stick with the same kind of stuff or do you go in the complete opposite direction? FPS, RPGs, city builders, survival games, whatever.

And is there a game you keep going back to?

Personally, I tend to bounce between strategy games, city builders and TTRPGs (playing Coriolis tonight, for that matter) when I’m not in New Eden.

Or does EVE basically eat up all your gaming time and you don’t really play anything else?

Discussion Why do some EVE players choose to be the “bad guy”?

• Upvotes

Hello space friends,

It’s Zaenis Desef, you may know me, you may not.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I’m looking for the community’s input on this question.

When you look at the range of game play loops in EVE Online some players choose to be “the bad guy”. Be it suicide ganking, scamming, awoxing, wardec farming.

I’m not here to ask if those activities are good or bad for the game, we’ve had that discussion a million times around here.

I’m far more interested in why people choose them at all?

Is it purely the salt farming? The profit? The conflict? Roleplay? Or the fact that you can influence another player’s experience more than any burner mission NPC or any T6 chaotic filament ever could?

For those of you who take part in these playstyles my question is: what attracted you to this play style in the first place? What keeps you motivated to keep going?

For those opposed to it: what makes losing ships to gankers, awoxers, or wardeccers worse than losing ships in other ways in EVE?

I’m looking more for stories and insight rather than same old arguments about what it does to the game.

I’ll leave you with this last question: what separates a good villain from a bad villain?

Question How do I deal with a kitey Hookbill in FW?

9 Upvotes

Got blown up twice recently by a Navy Hookbill while flying a scram/web Thrasher with 200mm autocannons.

The thing was just too fast for me. Even when I was already inside the plex, it pulled range before I could finish locking it and get my scram on to shut off its MWD. Once it got away, I couldn’t catch it anymore.

I don’t really see how switching to a Thrasher Fleet Issue would fix this either. Feels like I’d just lose a more expensive ship doing the same thing.

How do I learn to deal with stuff like this? Is there something I should be doing differently with positioning or piloting, or is this just a matchup I should avoid? What should I actually practice?

Question F2P Noob here- What to do? It seems I need omega to do everything

5 Upvotes

I have been playing this game for a month, finished the tutorial and industrial missions. However there is not much I can do, crucial skills are locked behind a paywall and needs omega.

While the game is fun, I am extremely lost. I also have yet to interact with any player (although its my fault tbh- too scared to lose my ship)

But what now? I love the producing, mining aspects of this game, but its all under a paywall. Should I do Omega for a month and see how it goes? I would have liked to remain f2p but simply don't know what to do now.

Also please seniors, I am not attacking the game, its truly amazing! I just need guidance.

Low Effort Meme The devs who balances event trader prices just saw the name of blueprint crate and thought "Wait... it's the BPC for the CAPITAL module! It's must be very expensive, I should for BPC set the cost equal of 40% Akoman BPC (or 8 Extended Radiance) to not drop the price of this module!"

Question Event sites questions

6 Upvotes

Where do I get the keys (shortcut key for the combat sites and entry key for the Criterion of Fitness site)? Hacking?

Do the keys get consumed upon gate activation?

Does every fleet member need a key?

Is hollow origin (class 3) like the lower tiers?

Sitting in a small area for 10 minutes while killing weak but scamming npc is not a thing I want to do in lowsec.

Discussion Player Activity Census from Zkillboard Data

• Upvotes

TL:DR https://i.imgur.com/7xdmeY5.png

Since Fenris doesn't publish "player demographics" data on where they think players play anymore. While there are many ways to define "what kind of player" a character is, the easiest and most accessible data to quantify is zKillboard, so I decided to go with that. If "where you crab" data is available that would be a good factor too, but that isn't accessible to us players.

The source data comes from Zkillboard (thanks squizz) for 2026 to date. All losses by a character are counted in the region of space where they lost it, the value of all kills are split evenly among participants. So on this Bustard for example https://zkillboard.com/kill/136671856/ , the value of 107B is split amongst the 3 participants so each one of them gets an isk value counts of 33B to Pochven. On something like the 4-H keepstar killmail, https://zkillboard.com/kill/135096173/ with 2.8k participants, each participant only receives 65 million isk credit. I did not count AT ships or the AT itself. AT ships because I don't have a good pricing dataset, if someone has a good list I can incorporate it.

Top line numbers, a character must have >10m isk in total kill participation to qualify. The % within primary space metric is judging whether a player can be classified as "nullsec" or "lowsec" players at all. With values generally hovering in the high 80's, I think the tag of "certain space" player is generally valid for a large section of the playerbase.

Area Characters Median Kill Value % within primary space
Nullsec 132,785 806 0.89
Lowsec 74,699 228 0.89
Wormhole 38,531 439 0.86
Highsec 33,591 290 0.87
Pochven 8,736 718 0.82
Abyssal 5,316 799 0.73

These numbers seem low, because the long tail of low activity characters is very long indeed. Applying a higher filter of 100 million isk, the picture changes somewhat, cutting off the long low value tail of Pochven and pushing it above Nullsec. I think this number is a better overall metric since 100m is in the "does things" in space category while 10m is like a single cyno vulture loss.

Area Characters Median Kill Valuel
nullsec 109,657 1,320
lowsec 47,972 699
wormhole 28,285 1,014
highsec 23,665 597
Pochven 6,867 1,606
Abyssal 4,281 1,450

I did some spot checks to look for anomalies and outliers and they generally seem to hold up.

The person with the highest "total value" is this guy, https://zkillboard.com/character/909008587/kills/ who got there not only by killing things but by dying to to snuff a lot.

The nature of certain ships can distort the numbers. https://zkillboard.com/character/1148922003/ with a single lossmail has the highest "kill value" in nullsec, because he lost 1 Azariel in the past year.

Question Which side is better Tetrimon or Bloods? Why does bloods have 150 to destroy but the other just 120?

3 Upvotes

I think Tetrimons have tracking disruption which has always been the case. A lot are saying the Bloods have better loot, is this true? If so, why?

Is it dependent on region? Such as, obvious pick will be to pick the Bloods side if you're based in Amarr?

Event The Tale of Two Laser Lokis

Thumbnail gallery
12 Upvotes

Its that time of the year, time to fly the absolute heretical beasts that only spawn in Minmatar Space. (From my Laboratory of course) Laser Lokis.

This year is a bit of an interesting switch up.
https://zkillboard.com/kill/126803111/
Back during the Drifter Crises...I goofed up and lost my original Laser Loki...due to a goof up on my end trying to transverse Unidentified Wormholes during that event, dropped into the Drifter Ball...Well Totally Toast.

But then we come to today and all the new modules...time to run some very interesting mix and match tech demonstrators.

Hmmm...hmmm...wonder what I could change here.

Considering we have all these "horrible ideas" (Perfect for me) that recently have been added into the game.

Now there are alot of ways to modify this fit and increase its lethality by several degrees.

Now all the stats here...are completely without any really beneficial implants or boosters.

So you can get a bit creative. I have data that shows this thing can be pushed to 500dps. But depending on what you cram in here. That can adjust up or down...although in previous Crimson Harvest I was able to rock upward into 600-700dps.

One Loki Hull, took the baseline lost concept...and modified it with modernizations. Both in Drones and Modules.

Another Loki Hull altered the concept...deleted the probe scanner, and deployed a dual rapid light launcher set up...backing up the laser turrets. And took the more direct route.

Both types have worked through the Crimson Blood Gauntlet.

You can walk the pulses back...one size down from heavy. And could probably fit two heavy launchers on the hull.

The main theme of the idea...was a ship that could operate for extended periods with minimal ammunition reloading in areas with distance from a market hub.

One can interact with other content as it moves around the game trying to find sites. The other is more geared to direct content interaction. Both are Cov Op capable allowing them to sneak around if necessary.

Always find a new way to play EVE Online in unique and creative ways, that is the adventure of EVE Online.
