The passing weeks have supplied more than enough videos from around New Eden. From recruitment videos, fake trailers and some hilarious or tense PvP moments, these are EVE News 24’s picks for the past month:
#1 A Story of Loss and Revenge [Eve online] by Kelvin Adestur
We all enjoy flying our spaceships around the cluster, but the unwary pilot will soon fall victim to the gate camper or roaming gang. Some will see this as a learning experience or a warning to stay away from certain places. However some will take matters into their own hands and seek retribution, as this video demonstrates.
#2 EVE Online – Random – Age of Drifters by Ryan Set Go
EVE Online is set in a dark period of the future, where war and misery are a daily fact of life for most of the citizens of the cluster, so what happens when you cut the EVE Online trailers to the soundtrack of the Avengers 2: Age of Ultron trailer? Well, the result can be quite amazing, and surprisingly on point considering current story lines.
#3 The Nano Archon -EVE PVP- by C 3 PO EVE
Some things defy logic, one of which is the idea of a nano Archon carrier! However, following EVE-Bet’s competition for solo roaming carriers, one player in low security space set out to show just what a bit of fitting ingenuity can achieve, creating this video in the process.
#4 Bombers Bar – January 4th Whaling by Butcherq
Bombers Bar is a well known NPSI (Not Purple Shoot It) community, specializing in the use of stealth bombers. One of their favorite pass times is roaming around null security space and hunting ratting carriers, or “Whales” as they are commonly referred to. This is a compilation of one such expedition and its harvest.
#5 Out of Sight | Come to Venal – 2015 celebration video by EscurKo
Out of Sight. [OOS], the Venal region based alliance, celebrated another year filled with battles and frags in its never ending war with the Imperium. In a well made compilation video, the alliance showcases its many fights, victories and leaders as it gets ready for another year of kicking ass, all set to kick-ass soundtrack.
#6 Spearfishing with Hoodie Mafia by Jerzii
The command destroyers have been a real game changer in New Eden, especially in low and null security space. Utilized in large battles, skirmishes and even by roaming gangs, these ships have become the terror of fleet commanders. This video demonstrates one of their uses, the so called “Boosh Chain”, a maneuver that requires quite a bit of skill, and luck but which makes station games a literal nightmare.
#7 EVE Online – Dark-Rising: On Time by Judas II
EVE Online is a beautiful game, and when combined with classical literature it creates an amazing video, such as this recruitment video for Dark-Rising [-DARK].
#8 Police Officer Hel gets overwhelmed by Criminal Individuals (Tackled Hel POV -_-) by MrArcheras
Even in the environment of low security space, a lone supercarrier without backup can be an easy kill. However the owner of this Hel supercarrier has been operating it without fear, surprising many of the individuals who live in the region. Yet, overconfidence can be a person’s undoing, as this pilot soon discovered.
#9 EVE ONLINE – Bergmann Federation – Alliance Spot | Enlist now! [English] by AdmiralSkoomer
Recruitment videos can be on the scale of very cringe worthy to pretty amazing. This one for definitely leans heavily into the latter category, especially with the quite excellent cinematography and a few less than subtle nods to previous EVE Online trailers.
