Cover feature - ‘200 Rounds’
Tom Czerniawski – better known to some as scumbag mercenary Istvaan Shogaatsu – pens a tale of three scavengers lured by the legend of treasure aboard a desolate ship, an opulent cruise liner that once ferried the rich and famous across space. The mission is simple; get in, get the loot and get out, and perhaps buy a small orbital platform among the gated farways of Jita… at least, that’s the plan… (Other stories are ‘The Dragon’ by Andrew Dice and ‘My Better Half’, again by Tom Czerniawski.)

New Edens
Atmospheric flight was first demonstrated to a whooping crowd at Fanfest 2004, but since then CCP has diverted all mention of players ever being able to fly across mountains and land at ground bases across EVE’s countless planets. Until now, that is…

Movie Epic
We talk to the talented team behind Darwin’s Contraption, the CG movie trilogy that’s been more than two years in the making. Plus EveTV’s anchorman remembers what it was like preparing for, and broadcasting at the recent Alliance Championship.

Iron Tide poster (for subscribers only)
This issue we bring you another free poster, the acclaimed Iron Tide by Meridius. This poster is bigger than the one given away last issue, virtually a meter wide in fact, of pure EVE pleasure you can hang on your wall. On the reverse is a picture of what EVE looks like during downtime. This poster is for ALL subscribers (whether new or current – we’re too good to you), so if you want a poster and are not signed up to receive a regular dose of E-ON goodness, you’d better do something about it.

Insider guides
With the EVE CCG in the hands of players, we’ve decided to start a regular look at the game, with this first installment looking at deck construction. Our other guides are more concerned with in-game mechanics, with in-depth probing into to moon mining and mission running.

Plus
DigitalCommunist takes Stealth Bombers for a spin in Testflight, CCP’s Mxmus and Redundancy tell us their stories and we have character profiles on Omber Zombie, Raem Civrie and Caytlyn Rose. Somewhere amongst all this, Stavros also pops up, but that page is easily removable.
