EVE Tip or Tool of the Week
Hendrick Tallardar & crew have a new project
Video project designed to help new players understand the many facets of EVE Online
—The common tips —
- Don’t fly what you can’t afford to lose
- Always make sure your clone is up to date
- Join a corp
- Don’t be afraid to lose your ship. It’s just a tool.
- If it looks like a good deal, it’s probably a scam
- More great tips
EVE NEWS
Manual Controls coming to Eve!
- Video from SiSi
- only pitch (Up/Down) and yall (Left/Right), no Roll… and no looping !
- need joystick (and pad ?) support
- Lanc wants a throttle!
CREST Public API: Market Data
- And flexible Cache Time (reducing useless calls)
- CCP should also fix the APIs that return past CachedUntil information (they did not refresh?)
Premiering at EVE Down Under, the latest video released by CCP has taken EVE Players by storm
- Hit 1 MILLION views this weekend, this was one of the first videos to hit 1mil views since B-R or Battle Asakai
- Big spike on newcomers in EvE after the video is released
- As a reminder, for those who want to join there is a 21d trial with an invite code [https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=4fd9dba8-e05a-44d1-b3c4-278459c936f8&action=buddy]… and AIEU gets a PLEX when you fully subscribe: we give you half back and give free ships in corp with other half… so join us for full benefits ! (and the PLEX is at 1b currently !)
Big Talk
This week our big talk is about the current ISK price to buy a PLEX, joining us to discuss this new milestone for the Plex and Isk conversion is Lockefox, Blogger at http://eve-prosper.blogspot.com/, show host of the Eve Prosper Market Show, and co-host of Hydrostatic podcast.
Q: 1Bil isk for a Plex…
A:
- large uptick in average logins recently: http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility
- 10d resub event for dormant accounts active in October
- Huge interest after the new trailer
Q: What does this mean for the average player?
A:
- those not PLEXing their accounts: mostly nothing. Costs of goods stay flat
- those PLEXing accounts: reevaluating their income generation vs PLEX costs
Q: Are the costs of ships, modules, etc. going to go up as well?
A:
- PLEX != inflation
- PLEX is like gold
Q: Is this bad for newer players trying to PLEX that second account?
A:
- ISK → PLEX for services is going to become more and more untenable
- Expect 1B to be a pretty hard steady-state, but could go as high as 1.2 by fanfest

The kill of the week is an interesting killmail we have found through our countless hours of reading through the killmails this past week. It could be the most expensive fit loss, the most hilarious fit loss, or a completely random because reasons!
