A New EVE Online Ship: Oveur's Beership!

Oveur at his best!

Seriously though, I don't know if this little video actually showcases the new graphics for the planets and asteroids that we've been promised, but if it does, I mean OMG!!!!!!! Can anyone who attended Fanfest let us know more about this video?

And the Icelandic Gods created Planets...

...for capsuleers to admire and despise at the same time.

EVE Online Postcard for Tuesday July 7th, 2009

Treenara, my character, is Gallente. Pure Gallente. She's actually my second character. My first, Saoundra Meezo, was Amarrian. I have to be honest with you guys, I chose my characters solely based on their races' ships. And the Amarr have always had, in my opinion, the best looking ships in New Eden.

The Providence is one such ship. It gives me goose bumps whenever I cross path with one. There's something majestic about this behemoth that gets my geeky nerdy side all excited! The shot above does that every time!

What's your favorite looking ship?

Oh dear! What happened to the Helios?

Earlier today while running a few missions in Khanid, I was chatting with some mates on The Drone Bay channel - which you should all join by the way! - when all of sudden, my good friend Madok Ironfist cries out in desperation "What have they done to the Helios!".

Now now, what was this? One of the reasons that my main is a Gallente is that I prefer the look of their ships - besides the Amarri of course! So when I heard that the Helios had been overhauled, I felt concerned. After a bit of research Madok had emailed me the two screenshots below. Low and behold, the Helios had been tampered with! I don't know about you, but the new look, hints at a Caldari influence. That wing sticking out is very reminiscent of the look and feel that a lot of Caldari ships have, or Caldari stations for that matter.

I'm on Madok's side on this one! This is a downgraded look for a ship that looked amazing and reminded somehow of Boba Fett's Slave I ship. Don't ask!

Old

New

What's your take on it? The new or the old?

My new Myrmidon

The first thing I did when I arrived back in the Federation was to get myself a new Gallente Myrmidon after reading about it in the last EON issue I had made plans to get one for myself.

The above screen shot was taken on my way back. I'll be posting some additional information on the set-up I've chosen after some research. I'll actually make a list to the various ship set-up I've used and mentioned.

EVE Online: Rifter 3D model in the works

While looking up Technorati for EVE Online blog posts, I came across an interesting post on LiveJournal from Evil Dr Ganymede and his 3D model of an EVE Online spaceship, a Rifter.


It's a work in progress, but you've got to give it to him, the guy has a real talent. Head over to this thread on the Lightwave Group forum to read about his experience and to see the progress he's made so far. I've taken the liberty to create a set on my flickr account with all his shots so far.
