Now that the crew has made it home from Vegas, we sit down to an all panelist episode to take a deep dive through Eve Vegas 2019. A recap of news includes the Fraternity SOTA that TIS live streamed on Saturday, the Inner Hell wormhole evictions that were capped off with a Keepstar kill and some interesting stats from the Halloween Trick or Treat 100% PvP loot event. In the last half of the show, we get into the details of some of the proposed updates led by “Team Talos”, a new development team led by CCP Rise, which will be bringing bi-monthly updates focused on veterans to Eve Online.
