Fanfest’s Glorious Catch-up  CSM 17 CSM campaign threads Anger Games 5 Abyssal proving Grounds PLEX & SKINs

Collaborative Capsuleers,

As the Anger Games continue, so do the Abyssal Proving Grounds specials celebrating the infamous community tournament’s return.

On 5 June only, the second Anger Games special takes place at the Proving Grounds, this time focusing on 2V2 cruiser and assault frigate combat. And if you can embrace the spirit of the Anger Games and get furiously destructive, you can even earn some ISK. In the repeatable challenge Capsuleers will gain 10 million ISK in every match where they deal at least 4,000 damage to their opponents.

It’s also a Proving Grounds clash built for strategic, collaborative play. Fleets entering this Proving Grounds round must include one combat cruiser and one assault frigate – a hell of a combination.

All ships that enter will receive a bonus that doubles the benefits gained from overheating the following module groups:

• Tackle Modules
• Propulsion Modules
• Repair Modules
• Resistance Modules
• Energy Warfare Modules
• Turrets
• Launchers

The 2V2 is open to Maller, Moa, Vexor, Rupture, Retribution, Vengeance, Hawk, Harpy, Ishkur, Enyo, Jaguar, and Wolf hulls. Meanwhile, sensor dampeners, weapon disruptors, shield boost amplifiers, shield rechargers, shield power relays, shield flux coils, and core defense field purgers are banned in this event.

Additionally, ships that join the action are limited a maximum of one fitted local repair module (shield or armor). Pilots that join this event will also be restricted to Meta 5 modules.

Want to join the second Angry Games Abyssal Proving Grounds event? Then grab some Proving Filaments and head over to the Proving Grounds on 5 June. And, of course, the Proving Grounds leaderboards will allow you to track Capsuleer performance through the event.

And be sure to check in on the main Anger Games tournament action. You can keep up with the full schedule here, and watch live on CCP TV from now until 12 June!

Bargain-happy Capsuleers!

Until 13 June, select PLEX packs will contain a sumptuous selection of Emperor Bear SKINs, completely free of charge!

Here’s a list of the select PLEX packs and the SKINs available for each pack:

• 500 Plex + Gila Emperor Bear SKIN
• 1000 Plex + Tengu & Gila Emperor Bear SKINs
• 1500 Plex + Tengu, Gila & Sleipnir SKINs

This promotion is only available until 13 June, so be sure to head to the EVE Store to give some of your favorite ships a fresh lick of paint at no extra cost!

Welcome back to The Beat, Capsuleers!

We are now flying at full speed through the CSM election season and Anger Games 5. In the past two weeks we have seen several candidates going out there and giving interviews on your platforms as well as being interviewed on CCPTV. The first weekend of the Anger Games 5 concluded last weekend and the organizers of Anger Games 5 will return this weekend on CCPTV with another amazing weekend of brawls.

[h2]CSM SEASON VOTING STARTS SOON[/h2]



In the last Beat we talked a little bit about what the CSM is and for this week we will take a closer look at the campaign so far. At the beginning of every candidate’s campaign, we ask them to write a post on the EVE Online Forums. This is not just to introduce themselves as individuals who might not be familiar with them but to also lay out their plans and what they want to focus on during their term. These are now all available for every candidate for anyone to see so if you want to get to know them a little better before deciding on who to vote for then check it out.

Every candidate gets ten minutes on the air over at CCPTV to campaign their cause and we have so far had two evenings of interviews. If you missed them then no need to worry as you can still get the VOD’s. The last round of interviews will be conducted tonight, starting at 18:30 UTC and runs until 01:00 UTC to wrap things up before the voting starts.

Voting for CSM 17 officially begins at 11:00 UTC, Tuesday 7 and runs until 10:59 UTC, 14 June.

There will be a German CSM townhall for German speaking candidates to answer live questions. We will add the information here in German as well.
