Since Cradle of War launched earlier this summer, we’ve loved seeing what capsuleers have been getting up to. Mining fleets have pushed the objectives of New Eden’s empires, achievement hunters have raced to tick off every last challenge, and destructive battles have erupted across lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space. Through it all, veteran capsuleers have been welcoming fresh pilots arriving through Exordium.
Speaking of new players, all this talk of Cradle of War has caught the attention of one particularly interested party.
Meet Valva, our newest developer. She’s been chewing her way through the new Epic Arcs, and now she reckons she’s ready for the next step: leading her very first mining fleet. It’s a bold move for a rookie FC, but she’s no coward.
Today at 13:00, head over to the Fenris Creations Twitch, where FC CapitalCowPilot - equipped with her own gaming setup and custom-built keyboard - will take command of a public mining fleet in the system of Jouvulen. She’ll be putting hoof to hardware attempting to chew through New Eden’s asteroid belts one rock at a time. Hopefully.
Twitch Drops will be active during the stream where you can score the Orca Nautgripur Industrial Input SKIN! On top of that, watch the stream for at least 30 minutes to earn a commemorative Twitch badge to prove that you were there when FC CapitalCowPilot took control of a fleet!
Once we go live, Valva will open fleet invites and call on capsuleers to help clear the belts, haul some ore, and hang out with the herd. Whether you’re a hardened industrialist, fresh out of Exordium, or just here to find out whether a cow can outmine you, there’s room in fleet!
This might be your only chance to take orders from a cow in New Eden. Then again, capsuleers have followed stranger FCs…
We’ll see you in the belt. Try not to start any beef.
