Join Aradus, Smashies, Chyph3r, and Johan this week as we go through the new Patch Notes that were a major catalyst in today's Jita Riots.

NOTE: Many extremely intelligent people will be taking to media to talk about why this New Dawn patch is completely terrible.  While we don't necessarily agree with them, we set out with the goal of trying to find a 'silver lining' to the upcoming changes.  Hopefully, we presented a few.

We encourage you to listen to other livestreams, podcasts, and check out EVE Online news outlets to get a balanced view of these changes, and to see how some of the larger parts of this patch (such as compression/waste) can potentially lead to meta-altering effects in a very negative way.  This episode, however, does not focus on the math/details of that (Aradus isn't smart enough to figure that stuff out).

The Patch Post That Started It All

This week, Doc is joined by Johan and Chyph3r as they discuss:

Hey nerds!

This is an episode to kiss the butt of the bee; we can all learn from the groups that have a solid, historical culture that they used as a foundation for their success.

If you are a corp CEO/Director, Alliance level leader, or whatever....this episode's discussion topic is important to your future success in Eve.

Thanks for listening.  We'll be going live from EVE VEGAS next week!

This week we're joined by new co-host Johan Pendersen, as we talk about:

More Reddit Linky

2. Big PAPI announcement.  Is WWB2 drawing to a close, or just more snooze-fest and Reddit spam?  Does FRAT hold the purse strings, and control the next move?  Will the NEXT blue donut focus on the ever-growing strength of FRAT?

Reddit Linky

4. Oscar Wilde said, "Nowadays people know the price of everything, and the value of nothing."  We discuss how that in our current "ZKill mentality" within EVE, that can definitely be true....but how understanding the VALUE of a ship (no matter how inexpensive or pricey) should mean more to us as players than the price tag.

Today we had the pleasure of sitting down with Martin Lockheart (Discord: Martin Lockheart#2044), CEO of Lockheart Trading Company [LHTC], head of the Hardly Competent Alliance, and one of the founders of the Kairos Initiative/Kairos Coalition.

Big thanks to Martin for coming on the show!

This week, Doc (Spence) flies solo as Chyph3r has been SUPER busy at work, so he gets all salty about Redditors and their complaining, the new CSM and a lack of Low Sec representation, and more.

We also briefly discuss the Binette Evingod memorial roam (more on that in a future montage show), as well as the challenges of Low Sec life/recruiting. 

Oh, and Stain is weird to roam....

Big thanks to ISAAC COLLINS who sat down with Chyph3r and I for a great conversation about life in LOW SEC from a gate camper's point of view.

NEXT PODCAST: Another CSM-16 Interview (Rixx Javix?  Mike Azariah?  Lets see!)

Rob and I had the pleasure of sitting down with Brisc Rubal yesterday to discuss his candidacy for CSM-16 delegate.  We talked about his history in EVE Online (and other games), his experience, accomplishments, goals, and the successes and missed opportunities in the development and evolution of Eve Online.

Many thanks to Brisc for spending time with us on a Sunday when he could've been relaxing with his family.  We all definitely appreciate his dedication to our community!
