CSM 16 - Meet Your Candidates!

Civic-minded Capsuleers,

In the last week, we have comprehensively reviewed all the CSM applications to ensure that they met the appropriate guidelines and eligibility requirements. It is with great excitement that we present to you your candidates for the upcoming Council of Stellar Management!

From Wormhole residents to War-Dec corporations, these candidates possess broad knowledge about EVE Online and mean to represent a myriad of different gameplay styles. This information is invaluable to us, and while we look forward to working with CSM 16 there is still much work to be done.

The CSM 16 Campaign Period begins now, 20 May, and runs for just over two weeks until 4 June. During this period, you will be able to learn more about your prospective candidates as they look to earn your vote in the upcoming elections. Each candidate has a forum thread on the EVE Online forums with a brief overview of their platform. Since the CSM elections utilize the STV system, it is possible to select a variety of candidates to vote for.

Learning about CSM candidates is paramount! While many will make themselves available in the EVE media sphere, the CSM campaign threads are a wonderful place to learn more about the prospective candidates, interact with them, and follow along with the campaign.

In a continuation from last year, we will also be hosting brief interviews with the candidates, taking place on 25 May - 28 May, live on CCPTV. We’ll announce the interview schedule on 24 May via Facebook and Twitter, so you’ll know exactly when to tune in to hear your favorite candidate. If you can’t attend live, no need to fear! The VoD will be saved giving you ample opportunity to listen to the interviews for any - or all - of the candidates during the voting period.

EVE Academy – Forge Your Path in EVE Online

Academic Capsuleers,

A new resource has been launched to enhance the new player experience in EVE!
EVE Academy is a website aimed at giving new EVE Online players the best start by providing a tailored learning experience. It provides a wealth of information designed to help new players decide who they want to be in New Eden.

In EVE Academy you will find links to four career paths representing some of the high-level objectives and gameplay styles to aim for as an Explorer, Industrialist, Enforcer (PvE) or Soldier of Fortune (PvP). Within each path you'll get skill plans, beginner ship fitting examples, and curated links to resources created by the EVE Online community. There’s much more to check out so head over and see how the Academy can help you excel at anything in EVE Online.

The site is currently in beta with a baseline of content already available which will be expanded upon over the coming months. Post-launch, the Academy will also be updated with the latest new player relevant information as new features are added to EVE Online. This site is a part of the ongoing effort of welcoming and helping new players find their footing in EVE Online.

EVE Academy was developed in collaboration with players and will improve with input from the EVE community. You can suggest resources, generic and career specific, as well as provide feedback on EVE Academy either directly on the page, or in the forum thread in the EVE Forums.

New EVE Online music release available now

Ambient Capsuleers!

More sounds of the system have just become available via Spotify, courtesy of CCP Oldboy (Baldur Baldursson).

The 20 atmospheric tracks of this fourth EVE Online release will give you that spaced-out Capsule ambience no matter where you are, leaving you blissfully sailing amidst in the black

“The emotional soundscape of EVE deepens pilot’s immersion, allowing them to lose themselves in the wonders of space,” said CCP Oldboy. “The construct of these compositions varies from tonally rich tracks to pure ambient textures, giving focus to the world that is shaped by the players that inhabit it."

You can find Oldboy’s latest to stream on Spotify here.
