This week we look at the February update as somehow we are already two months into 2023 and Bixtarqi discusses what enforced Photon UI means for the players. We look at some CSM reflections on the CSM summit and COULD IT BE, are we one step closer to getting logistics ships on killmails? We go over the most important parts of what was a big patch this week and review the PLEX for Good campaign that's being run in response to the devastating earthquakes in Türkiye& Syria. The market update also makes an appearance, and it looks like Large Skill Injector price just keeps going up!
Bixtarqi looks into what all these in game mails from faction leaders are all about and where the new HQs are going. What do the mean for direct enlistment? CCP have released a blog on the sounds of EVE that explains the importance of new SFX and music released as part of Uprising. Did you know you can now hear the difference between close range and long range weapons? And we get a weekly market update with a look at the value of the Expert Cerebral Accelerator.

A faction Titan was killed during the Final Reunion move-op so we look into that mother of all killmail's and get an update on the 'war'. There has been some unofficial updates on the Tranquillity server hardware upgrades so we review some tech specs while on the software side a buff to Pochven has surprised a few players. We also look at this week market movements with PLEX & Injectors continuing to see high demand.
The Hype this week is all about a half a trillion ISK killmail thanks to the death of another Alliance Tournament hull. We look at the December Report and what on earth happened to Pochven income and what is Pochven anyway and why are you stuck there if you haven't played the game in a couple of years. We go over the Lunar New Year event, the rewards and packs available in the store and Bixtarqi speculates about what's next for PLEX after hitting an all time high.
This week Bixtarqi continues looking at the Producer's letter that was sent by CCP Rattati and reviews what was discussed in the follow up stream with CCP Burger & CCP Convict. Getting pilots into fleets is touted as their biggest focus so we speculate what that could mean! A Hydra was killed moments before recording so we look at the damage and we review this weeks' patch notes and market movements.
