Eve Online Flight Academy tackles Planetary Interaction [Video]

CCP has set up a new youtube channel: Eve Online Flight Academy to post informational videos about Eve Online. The first game mechanic they have chosen to tackle is Planetary Interaction(PI). They have released four short videos covering the basics of planetary interaction. The videos serve to provide a basic tutorial for starting a small PI operation.

If you would like a more in depth information be sure to check out my posts on basic and intermediate PI production as well as my own PI video tutorial that goes a little more in depth into fine tuning PI production. Even these tutorials are basic referencing guides when considering the complexities of PI as a whole.

New Player Video Guides

After several weeks of work I have finally finished a passable new player video guide. These are a day zero guides the first video in the series is considering you have never even heard of Eve so they hold a tight niche. The first video also covers character creation. After that we make a quick stop at the interface just to get people oriented as they get started. The next four videos cover the first four Aura starting tutorials missions in complete. I am hoping of expanding them to the career agent tutorials sometime in the future. So without further adieu I give you my new player video guides:

Intro and Character Creation(15:09)      
The Interface(5:38)       

Covering the Basics(11:50)

Combat Basics(12:01)
The Academy(7:46)
Moving Onwards(9:07)

Be sure to share these with your friends and new pilots as they get started in New Eden. Here is a link to the playlist which moves through each video in succesion.

Eve Online: New Player Walk Through

Eve Online: Basic PI (Planetary Interaction) Video Guide

When I first started this blog the first guide I wrote was a PI guide so it's only fitting that my first video guide is on PI. Weighing in at 38 minutes long, it covers all the basic steps from skills to picking up your finished products at the customs office.

Check it out let me know what you think. If I get a good response I will make more of these longer in depth guides or shorter, again let me know. After putting in the time I have a real appreciation for anyone who makes YouTube videos and a bigger appreciation for people that put together good guides.

You can find the guide here, you can check out my YouTube channel Tactic Talisman here, and if you like what you see leave a comment or subscribe. So without further adieu I give you:

Firefly Online What the huh?!

Expect a lot of non Eve relevant posts over the next month. Things are slow its still summer lots of other fun things to do and see. So on that note check out this video for Firefly Online. If you play a lot of Eve Online I am assuming you know what Firefly is and also Serenity(and as an aside the creator of Firefly was Joss Whedon you know the guy behind the Avengers.)

It does seem like they need to hire a competent web marketing guy and maybe a web master to design a site for them. Either way out of curiosity I might take a look into this game if it ever gets off the ground. I will post the video below.

Crius by the Numbers(Quick Video)

If anyone is interested in seeing some of the new industry numbers scaling in action check out this video by Reload. He presents some interesting case scenarios when comparing jita build costs to other systems also a comparison of when teams are good and when teams may not be needed. Check it out here, or below.

New Development Video out for Crius Patch

CCP released a development video for the Crius patch. Its worth a watch nothing new was shown and no funny role playing like in some of the past videos.

First Look Video of the Industry UI Changes

Check out this video covering a first look at the industry UI changes on the test server.

Burn Jita Advisory

If you haven't heard I thought I would throw up a quick bulletin on Burn Jita. The announcement over at TMC goes as follows, Downtime Apr 25 to downtime Apr 28.

Dealing with Burn Jita, you should be able to have lots of fun this weekend. Whether you deal with it like I do and just don't log in or go scavenging wrecks its really up to you. Just don't fly your freighter around Jita and neighboring systems. Don't forget to get in an empty pod if you go looking for fun.

Basic Eve rules apply don't fly what you can't afford to lose. Hmm maybe I will fit up a few ships to go have some fun myself.

If you you are new to Eve Online in the past year let me explain a little bit. Burn Jita is an event held by the CFC(for the past 3 years now). They bring in a bunch of players and gank freighters and other juice targets. So if your doing business in and around Jita through those posted dates you have a much higher chance of being blown up.

Cool Eve Video will now follow.

CSM 8 In the Flesh 2013 Winter Summit Video

Its that time of year again. CSM voting is in full swing. Interestingly enough CCP put together a video from the CSM 8 Winter Summit. Check out it for whats it worth. Kind of interesting to see some of these Eve personalities in real life.

Eve Online Documentary from MachinimaRealm

I ran across this video series a few months ago when they were first released. MachinimaRealm youtube channel had a 3 part video series on Eve looking at various aspects of the game but most importantly about the players that impact it. I found it an interesting perspective of how people outside of Eve describe it looking in. Take a look I will link the series parts below as well.

Part 1: EVE: Starships, Sabotage & Mayhem - INFONAUT (Part 1)
Part 2: EVE: Vile Rat & The Future of Gaming - INFONAUT (Part 2)
Part 3: EVE: Benghazi, Espionage & MMOs - The Mittani Interview (Part 3) 

Explaining Fleet Battle

After the Battle in B-R5 I thought it might be a good idea to feature some good youtube videos explaining fleet combat. The Rooks and Kings channel has some of the greatest videos on null sec combat and fleet combat. If you're new to the game these are some definite must see videos. They give you a feel and a taste of what its like to be playing the game not just watching trailers. I will post a couple below but you can find their youtube channel here.

 And just for kicks I will post their B-R5 battle footage too.

In Development video for Rubicon 1.1

One of the better development videos for Rubicons 1.1 patch release. It does a good job of covering all the different things coming out this patch. There is some really interesting stuff here some of the new mobile structures are interesting. I always enjoy new visuals and of course new battleships not bad CCP for a simple content patch update.

Rubicon Expansion Trailer Delivers

The Rubicon trailer is looking pretty good. After the announcement stream I didn't think Rubicon would be very exciting and while it has been slowly growing on me I will reserve judgement until after the release of the expansion. You can find the eye can below...
