215: Crow Killers

“There are a lot of players in nullsec that should really be in highsec”

Nullification Changes: CCP reworks interdiction nullification to expand the ships that can use it’s new version, bury the interceptors that already had it, and generally up the difficulty (of finding targets) for PVPers everywhere

-Also, warp core stabilizers got an interesting rework: much more safety for -50% drone DPS

Mobile Observatories have finally come! We discuss this game changing feature for cloak addicts like Noir.

-Speaking of Noir. Contract Updates! You won’t want to miss the details on this wild lowsec brawl

CSM election season begins! The cast highlights some interesting names on the ballot

Were nullified fleet interceptors a problem?
