"This week in EVE" is a weekly overview of EVE Online related news and events and shows what is going on in EVE Online. The focus of this overview is on official news from CCP: For example, dev blogs and important forum posts by CCP developers, the ever evolving background story and upcoming events. The previous weekly overview can be found here.

The current "This week in EVE" gives on overview of the week from March 7th to 13th



Dev blogs and official news
Fanfest 2015 - The Festival To Eclipse All Others - Feedback
Fanfest is the annual gathering in Iceland for players and developers to celebrate EVE Online and the EVE community. Fanfest means roundtable discussions, presentations, crazy events, parties and lots of fun. Fanfest 2015 takes place from March 19 to 21 and consists of numerous small and big things, check out CCP Legion's blog for a full overview! The Fanfest schedule can be found here. EVE TV is going to broadcast from Fanfest as well.

Worlds Collide - Introducing the Teams - Feedback
Worlds Collide is the tournament at Fanfest between the best of the best from Tranquility and Serenity. Camel Empire is going to fight for Tranquility, City of Angels is fighting for Serenity. CCP Gargant presents both teams and gives us background information about their team members. The ship setups for the teams can be found here.

Fanfest 2015 - Devs vs Players Football Match! - Feedback
It started as an idea, but now it is real: a football match player vs devs right before Fanfest! Read more about this crazy event in CCP Puck's and CCP Mimic's joint blog!

Hashtag Swag - The Fanfest 2015 Store - Feedback
Fanfest is more than just a pile of presentations; it also means a lot of fun, extra events and ... swag! Discover the Fanfest Store and what it has to offer - it is plenty. If you are not visiting Fanfest yourself, maybe you know a friend who does and can deliver some items for you?

Worlds Collide - Submitted Team Setups
Both teams in the Worlds Collide tournament at Fanfest 2015 have to submit 7 setups of ships. The opposing team then can ban two setups, and the remaining five setups can then be used in the tournament. As soon as a team wins a match, the setup they have used to score that win cannot be reused by them again in the tournament. CCP Gargant has published the ship setups of the teams; the module setup (which is also fixed for each ship) remains hidden and won't be published. Check out ship setups and discuss them here!

Tukoss Disavowed by Zainou Biotech
The prominent Caldari neuropsychological scientist Hilen Tukoss, who has defected to the Minmatar Republic and started the immense Arek'Jaalan Project years ago, has now been disavowed by Zainou Biotech. The recent mysterious resurfacing of Tukoss on the Intergalactic Summit was the final straw both Zainou Biotech and its parent corporation Ishukone to revoke his corporate citizenship.

Rare Revenant-Class Supercarrier Downed in Impass
An extremely rare Revenant-class supercarrier has been destroyed in Impass by Pandemic Legion after careful and secret preparations over a couple of months. Read more about those preparations and how they lead to the destruction of the Revenant piloted by Ingeneer in this article by ISD Lunaire Elois.

Video: Celebrity Shootout - Elise Randolph vs Progodlegend
The popular "Celebrity Shootout" section of the previous o7 Show is now available as standalone video. Watch those two legends dunking it out in space - but before they can shoot each other in the face, they have to fit a ship from scratch in two minutes. Don't miss this fun!

Video: The Scope - Southern Conflict
The Scope news agency reports about the conflict between Capsuleers in the lawless nullsec regions in the southern parts of New Eden. Check out also the daily updated, player made Alliance Influence Map by Verite Rendition.

Video: CSM - Behind The Scenes

No alliance panel at Fanfest
Due to lack of responses from people who would like to be part of the Alliance Panel at Fanfest, we had to cancel this event
Should point to https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5554898#post5554898 - currently a dead 404 link.

Wondering if you considered running this newsletter through a grammar checker, or even asked a fluent English speaker to read it for you......

What problem did you find Penthesileia?

With the exception of, perhaps, an extra comma, and a clause with a two-word sequence I'd flip in a sentence toward the end, I found nothing I couldn't understand with ease.

I'm assuming that the mention of 'Duty Free' was purely intended for the benefit of those attending FanFest and in no way suggestive that the devs are open to ethanol based bribery and corruption...
