We are now flying at full speed through the CSM election season and Anger Games 5. In the past two weeks we have seen several candidates going out there and giving interviews on your platforms as well as being interviewed on CCPTV. The first weekend of the Anger Games 5 concluded last weekend and the organizers of Anger Games 5 will return this weekend on CCPTV with another amazing weekend of brawls.
CSM SEASON VOTING STARTS SOON
In the last Beat we talked a little bit about what the CSM is and for this week we will take a closer look at the campaign so far. At the beginning of every candidate’s campaign, we ask them to write a post on the EVE Online Forums. This is not just to introduce themselves as individuals who might not be familiar with them but to also lay out their plans and what they want to focus on during their term. These are now all available for every candidate for anyone to see so if you want to get to know them a little better before deciding on who to vote for then check it out.
Every candidate gets ten minutes on the air over at CCPTV to campaign their cause and we have so far had two evenings of interviews. If you missed them then no need to worry as you can still get the VOD’s. The last round of interviews will be conducted tonight, starting at 18:30 UTC and runs until 01:00 UTC to wrap things up before the voting starts.
Voting for CSM 17 officially begins at 11:00 UTC, Tuesday 7 and runs until 10:59 UTC, 14 June.
There will be a German CSM townhall for German speaking candidates to answer live questions. We will add the information here in German as well.

It's time to prepare for epic battles, as a new season of Skyforge's biggest competition — Pantheon Wars — is about to begin! Pantheons will once again battle to determine who is the strongest in the game, and earn some Argents along the way. Gather your best fighters and start training, because the first battles will take place on June 12. Winners will be rewarded with valuable prizes and a substantial prize pool!
Taking into account your feedback after the previous season, we have prepared important changes that we want to tell you about in advance.
Pantheon Ranking and Bidding
When you open the Pantheon interface, you will see a new tab called "Rating", which displays all the communities in the game. The ranking is calculated by a special formula and depends on several factors, including (but not limited to) the number of Pantheon members and their Might.
This ranking will not only allow you to see the strongest and most active Pantheons in the game, but will also help in organizing Pantheon Wars. Starting in Season 7, only the top pantheons in the rankings will be able to participate in the Golden League bidding. Their number depends on the number of Pantheons on the server. If the name of your Pantheon is highlighted in gold, then you can participate in bidding. This will help to avoid situations where the bidding involved Pantheons that did not intend to participate in battles. Now, we will see battles waged by the true strongest Pantheons!
IMPORTANT: In order to implement this update, we need to remove Vindicator status from members of all Pantheons. Don't forget to give it out once the Pantheon Wars begin, but keep in mind that Vindicators have also been affected by some changes!
Vindicators
The most powerful and resolute Immortals participate in major competitions such as the Pantheon Wars. Therefore, starting from Season 7, only players with Vindicator status will be able to participate in battles. Also, we have reduced the number of Vindicators in Pantheons. Previously, Rank 10 Pantheons could have up to 50 Vindicators, and Rank 15 Pantheons could have up to 100. This number has now been reduced to 25 and 40 respectively.
At the same time, we have increased the rewards for Vindicators who participate in battles. They have a great responsibility — Vindicators represent their Pantheon in battle, and therefore their rewards must match their title!
This change will not only reward combatants fairly, but will also fix a problem that was raised during the last Season, where some Pantheon members would enter a battle only to receive a participation mark, then collect their reward at the end of the Pantheon Wars.
Rewards
We'll share more information about the rewards for the winners later, but we want to announce that starting in Season 7, the final award will be distributed among the 8 strongest teams in the Golden League! The bulk of the prize pool will go to the three winners, but we also want to support the other participants who demonstrated good results in the competition. We will reveal what part of the prize pool the teams will receive, depending on their place in the final rankings in one of the following articles.
Argents from the prize pool will be given out automatically a few days after the end of the Pantheon Wars. The sooner a well-deserved reward is received, the better!
We want the Pantheon Wars to be fair and exciting, and the rewards to be worthwhile. We'll be sure to keep an eye on the competition and may adjust some elements as needed. We look forward to the first battles and your feedback. Don't forget to share your opinions about the new changes on our Discord server.
Start training and get ready for your first battles, which will take place on June 12!
[Update note 0.1.1] - Fixed blocked on the entrance floor in gas station. - Fxied Can't pickup lamp. - Fixed stone axe can't destroy. - Fixed hitbox. - Increased item drop rate on single player.
