If you are as curious as I was as to what the contents were to EON #18 then look no further!

One of the featured articles is called PAST FORWARD which deals a lot with sovereignty and also upcoming expansions. Here is an excerpt from their press release:

EDIT: Work now completed - server back in service.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

---disregard below---
The default chat server will be unavailable 31/12/090 9:00 - 02/01/10 09:00hrs Eve time.

Greetings all.

I am blown away by the number of downloads of Eve Instant Messenger so far! It has just exceeded 500 downloads and the number of test rooms on the default server number in the low twenties. So based on that I think the general uptake or experimentation with Eve IM is quite high at this early stage. Thank you.  read more »

Hi all.

As promised, a gift to the community.

Eve Instant Messenger is a Jabber instant messenger client that uses the Eve Online API to authenticate chat room participants. This ensures communication between all members without the need to use a multitude of IM services. It also provides a function where alerts can be broadcast to all chat room participants to act as a "Call to Arms". Eve IM can be opened or minimised to system tray.

You can download the Windows Installer here:

Hello all.

Thank you for being a loyal reader of my blog and the other content on this site.

Starfleet Comms has been in existence in many forms over the years, initially supporting Starfleet Command fans but for the last 3 years supporting Eve Online.

You might want to coin the term "agile" as we leap from doing one thing to another.

We still want to support Eve Online but feel you want more than a blog or blog host. You deserve more than a news aggregator and you don't want yet another forum.

So we plan to change. Soon(tm).

Change is coming. Be ready.

This was my second visit to Fanfest and I'm absolutely certain it wasn't the last!

Each time I've gone though I have been expecting some wild announcement or earth shattering news about the game that non-attendees would not hear about until afterwards. Each time I've been slightly disappointed. But that is the only thing I have been disappointed with, everything else is great fun and CCP really do pull out all the stops to make it as engaging and fun as possible.  read more »

Some pod pilots in Eve might be happily going about their daily business, blissfully unaware of the tension, angst, subterfuge and ecstasy that is part and parcel of the current Eve Online Alliance Tournament 7.

However there are those that are more aware of this phenomenon and many more are becoming aware day by day. There are even people interested in this Tournament who have not had the pleasure of being in a goo filled pod. Rude, I know.  read more »

WOW! Now I'm sure a lot of you could probably be a bit more wordy however there have been some fantastic matches in the recent qualifying rounds of the latest Eve Alliance Tourney.

Looking at forums, reading the rabble rabble over at YouTube and the general hubbub, it's clear that opinions are running high over techniques and personalities involved.  read more »

Hey there. Max here. Lol, that's rather irritating isn't it? But after reading the forums over at Eve-O pretty much solidly this past week, Cat O'Ninetails' post style tends to imprint on you. Reading from work at break times I hasten to add!

Annoying as it is, alt posting seems to be the norm rather than the exception over at Eve-O. Thread starters seem to always be alts - rarely mains.

As I scrape the OP and the OP's name, this has become more apparent and frankly, a shame.  read more »

Greetings,

Well, I never did get around to playing much as I promised myself in my previous blog. I got wrapped up in improving the comms link function here instead. Plus work is a bitch but hey, we all have to suffer that at some point.

The commslinks have now been improved over their previous state. Now the commslink title reflects the title of the thread. Which is a vast improvement over "Bobby Joe Posted 2009.12.01 18:00:01". It definately makes it more readable.  read more »
