Introduction

Guest expert, Rhavas of Interstellar Privateer

Question for the Panel

What would you like to see at the other end of player-made stargates?

Phy: New skill trees!
Locke: New industry!
Rhavas: Connect to Jove Space, or space with an entirely different set of environmental mechanics
Ash: Space totally cut off from Empire space

Rhavas mentiones a series of posts on www.gamerchick42.net about some good ideas on how new space should work:

• Origins
• Enemy at the Gate
• Tomb
• El Dorado

Phyridean's Pub Quiz

Answer to last episode's question: By holding his hand in the air, the symbol of the Amarr Empire becomes the symbol of the Khanid Kingdom, as the two are reflections of each other about a horizontal axis.

This episode's question: Usually, with modules, their meta level is displayed somewhere in the name, such as “Modulated” which refers to meta level 4 laser weapons (and also a tech 2 mining laser). What meta module term is used across the largest number of meta levels, and how many meta levels does it refer to?
