238: CSM17 Roundtable #2 feat. Stitch, Arsia, and Phantomite

-Stitch Kaneland, Arsia Elkin, and Phantomite join us for a very special lowsec edition of the CSM roundtables

-With no Alek in sight, Zeero and Diamond put these three candidates through their paces on lowsec, force projection, and how well they will (or wont!) work with the nullsec reps in CSM17

-Speaking of, accusations of misconduct fly as we get into #6RealTalk territory with our CSM16 incumbents

234: The New Guys

Zeeroak Ool and Diamond Fury join the show as regular hosts

-Noir. pilots Diamond Fury and Zeeroak Ool join Alek (and the cast in general) for a packed show

-The EVE community thanks the newly minted CCP Kestrel for all his contributions as a player and CSM representative

-Contract Update: Placid Faction Warfare

-A followup to the Prospector Pack discussion. Is Zeeroak is the retained player CCP has been talking about???

-Big Patch Note Breakdown covering changes to Citadel weapons and the Proteus

-EVE’s deep south burns as RC/FI.RE reignites and Imperium sets Feythabolis ablaze

-Alek commentates the Anger Games Open Scrims

-Host Highlights: Diamond gets his first Noir. payday, Ikeo tanks like a boss, and EVE Uni fends off an NPC titan (pictured above)

233: Solitude Summit

Our Solitude contract went better than expected

-Alek is joined by alliance leadership types Martin Lockheart of Hardly Competent, blogger Xuixien of Solar Wind Security Solutions, and Henrick Suzaku of the Caldari Militia’s SPD

-Contract Update: Solitude turns on a dime after a pair of pitched battles breaks defender morale, leading to the near-collapse of Greater Solitude Commonwealth, a political realignment of the region, and an early job well done for Noir.

-A follow up to our carrier buff poll

-CCP ignites a community firestorm by offering magic Retrievers for cash; we cover the controversy, CCP’s response, and the continuing player backlash

Talking in Stations celebrates 6 years and founder/host Matterall retires from the show. Unfortunately Craigbot eats most of our discussion about it 🙁
