Crossing Zebras Episode 22

We’re back! The best podcast in all of Eve Online is back, large and in charge to bring you all the latest news and gossip from the the game. This week, Jeg and Xander are joined by two very special guests. The first is our favourite dev, CCP Fozzie who joins us for a second time to correct us for a multitude of previously committed heinous errors on the show. Thankfully, he also released a rather important dev blog yesterday that has rather large implications for those of you who care about POSes. The second guest is rather well-known for not only despising Eve Online podcasts but also for having one of the most controversial and well-read blogs in the game. Making his first ever appearance in any Eve podcast, we have none other than Poetic Stanziel.

With such an outstanding array of talent to hand, it would be remiss of us not discuss those upcoming changes to how POSes work, a large chunk of general chit-chat on the CSM8 election (including the final ballot which was announced while we were recording) and a wee bit of conversation following the live stream Dust/Eve link Q&A from yesterday.

Introductions

POS changes for Odyssey – We pull apart Fozzie’s recent dev blog on the upcoming POS changes for Odyssey, what they can mean for the average player and what the feedback on the plans has been from the community over the past 24 hours

(28:55)

CSM8 Elections – We spent a fair bit of time pulling apart the CSM8 elections. By pure coincidence, as we were recording, the final ballot was posted in preparation for the election starting the following day. We discussed who got through to the final ballot and with how many votes. Myself and Poetic argued the relevant merits of tactical voting in an STV scenario. And Fozzie explains to us how STV actually works properly.

(1:29:29)

Dust/Eve Live Stream Q&A – After yesterday’s live Q&A with the the Team True Grit discussing the link between Eve and Dust, we look at the upcoming expansion Uprising as well as the long term implications of the impact to Eve itself.
