Nice read into a world I've never visited and know very little about.
I am really interested in how the economics of the newspaper work. How are they able to obtain the ships they report from? Do people have a subscription, donate? A pity this wasn't addressed in the article.
- JokerDan 8y agoA good little ship that supports cloaking is maybe... a 2-3 weeks of training in terms of skills and relatively cheap at 30-40m for a basic fit with bonuses to warping and agility. Could easily source that yourself over a few hours but no doubt, they more than likely take donations to their corporate wallet in game.
- Ntrails 8y agoYou could probably beg for a covops/stealth bomber/etc in about 20 minutes of casual jita spam. There's usually someone feeling kind (it's even been me on occasion)
- Firerouge 8y agoFast stealthy ships are trivially cheap.
- avree 8y agoThey sell ad space on their website to player-run groups in EVE. These groups pay ISK for the ad space, the in-game currency. [1] That ISK is paid to writers for each piece they write. The ships they report from are cheap as chips, so not really a sourcing concern given that their reporters need to be hardcore enough EVE players to understand and write about their subject matter—and as a result, would have made enough money in the game already to afford the type of ship you need to do this.
