Community Beat for 3 July

by EVE Online Community Team3:55pm on Friday 3rd July 2026

Hello spacefriends and welcome to the Community Beat! You have been up to many cool things in the last couple of weeks so let's turn our spotlight upon some of them!


We're going to start this week's Community Beat with a banger! It's not every day that Alliance Tournament ships get destroyed, but Seira K documented a small gang fight that Honor Point took against Tuskers where they managed to snag a Skua!

Here's the fight recording:

Speaking of Honor Point, deimos24 put out his newest compilation of smallgang fights from the POV of a Nightmare. Gotta love good comms during hectic fights!

Check it out:

If smallgang is your jam, then you won't want to miss Nanobrain's newest Phantasm video. He goes in-depth in explaining his fit and then showcases some phantastic fights while flying with his copilots in Strix Riders.

Definitely worth a watch:

While some express themselves through piloting, others do so in a more literal sense. Murphy3335 posted this simple yet sleek Chimera on the EVE reddit. Drop him a comment if you liked it!

If you want more color in your life, Khezuknight posted a collection of EVE Inspired pieces in a different reddit thread. The "UWU Rorqual" might spark another weeb-wars, but who are we to judge!

Last, but certainly not least! Rixx Javix recently created a mindblowingly cool Steampunk Marshall illustration for a JUST bounty. If our capacitors run dry and we have to power every ship with a steampunk engine, then Rixx Javix wil lead the way! Please drop him a comment in the reddit thread if you think this is as cool as we did.

To end this week's Community Beat, we wanted to drop a link to the EVE Fanfest 2026 pictures, as it's our biggest EVE Community gathering. We had such an incredibly fun time hanging out and chatting to those of you who made it, and we're already looking forward to next years FF!

You can find all the pictures here: EVE Fanfest 2026 - EVE Pictures


That about does it for this week's Community Beat!

See you in the next one! o7
