Introduction

We welcome Mynxee, Johnny Splunk, and Helios Anduath, of Signal Cartel and Eve-Scout

Ash is absent for real-life reasons, leaving us without our full panel of hosts for the first time ever

Question for the Panel

What makes you come back to Eve when you leave?

Phyridean's Pub Quiz

Last Episode's question: What is the only planet in the game named after a capsuleer?

Answer: Eclipticum, in the Kor-Azor system, named after Ecliptical, who won the Amarr Succession Trials for Doriam Kor-Azor

Congratulations to Razk Geary for getting it first, and to the 21 other people who submitted the correct answer!

Thanks to Yanarfal for coming up with this question!

This Episode's question: What was CCP's name before it became CCP?

One person who gets the correct answer will be drawn at random, and will receive a SKIN of their choice worth up to 3455 AUR value!

Mailbag, Corrections, and Updates

• Tarek Raimo gives us another lore-based insult or exclamation: "Son of a mangy slaver hound!"
• Tarek also wrote in to remind us of the Doctrine of Sacred Flesh, which prevents capsuleers from becoming Heirs in the Amarr empire
• Thanks as always to our Patrons: Benji, Chris, Raspberry Jam, Stalence, Alex, Brian, Liam, Bensel, Jack Dancer and Elange, and our new patrons: Neville, Gabrielle, Voltaire, Steven, and Bjorn!
• We'll be sending out stickers to all patrons who have pledged at least $5, and have provided me with a physical address, at the end of May.
