Disclaimer: Technically not 120 minutes

-CCP’s Burger and Paragon join Alek to discuss the Road to Fanfest and the questions raised by this much lauded dev blog

-Fanfest is coming!!! What should people expect out of this event 3 years in the making?

-Mining NPE and the most effective metrics for new player retention

-No more ninja POCOs: gantry now have timers and are shootable (no change to the actual POCO once it’s up)

-Gameplay options for Rorqual conduit jumping and how aware CCP are of the potential abuses

-Instant compression! Good. What’s the gameplay goal of compression in the first place though?

-Follow ups on the Dynamic Bounty System, the ESS, and the unrealized potential of bank heists

-Progression for aspiring carrier pilots? What pilots should aspire to carriers and why? What is their role if they can’t fight near tether?!

-Taxation and the evolution of EVE’s PVE structure

-CCP Burger’s feelings going into the Fanfest Keynote

PS: Pardon the initial mic quality (it does normalize).

-FanFest: This years different (depressing) feel, Abyssal Deadspace, Triglavians, PI and FW QoL changes incoming, love for Logi, and more Upwell Structures!

-The Bomb Drops: CCP Seagull leaving CCP. Alek and Jin discuss her significance, their favorite memories working with her, and cast their eyes to EVE’s uncertain future

-Imperium re-re-reinvades the north and is shredding GOTG.

-Core elements of the DRF have been routed by VOLTA, Skill Urself, and Hard Knocks: hardcore PVP alliances a fraction of the coalition’s enormous size

-Episode goes off the rails at several points including: Jin losing his shit at someone’s Teamspeak avatar, Alek triggering Jin’s PTSD about PL’s recent eviction of Provi bloc, show note planning on air, and Alek forgetting how to spell basic English words.
