Three funny parts of Fanfest 2026

Fanfest 2026 was great and many have summarised it.  I won't be doing that here.

Instead i want to show you three items that i found funny.

1) The new player finding a 700 billion Molok BPC in a drop

2) The most newly created player, Beejen Tildadi, attended Fanfest 2026

3) The player in the Lan Party fleet staying alive the longest

The new player finding a 700 billion BPC in a drop

In Crimson Harvest a crate would drop with any Blood Raider blueprint and so a super small chance of a Molok BPC.

One Molok BPC made its way into the universe and was picked up a 6 month old player with 11 million skill points, no alts, in a backwater system doing missions.

. . . . . . and then decides to courier it himself to Amarr in an Impairor (the Amarr empire default corvette that is free).  It might be called Imparior.

The clip at the right time from the Day 1 talk is here.

The most newly created player, Beejen Tildadi, attended Fanfest 2026

On Day 1 FC Swift and FC Larkin were doing the initial slot going through some of the notable player events of the past 12 months.

They had just introduced the oldest player character at Fanfest 2026 who set up his character on the day Eve Online started and then introduced the newest character to be set up who was also at Fanfest 2026.

A certain Beejen Tildadi.  But i fear it is not pronounced perhaps as first thought . . . . . .

The player in the Lan Party fleet staying alive the longest

The Lan Party was on the Wednesday 12:00 to 18:00, so for those arriving a bit early (i got in on Wednesday afternoon).  It was PvP roaming on high-spec gaming PCs, drinks, and a pizza buffet.

Seems they were jumped on by Fraternity and one player just seemed to stay alive longer than others . . . .

Creating my own Eve Online music

Ok, this post is a bit off the beaten track.

But following Oz and theOneAndOnlySidar creating their own music (both available on Spotify: The Oz song Green Lines Climbing High and TheOneAndOnlySidar songs) i thought i would give it a shot.

I am using Suno - i have absolutely zero musical abilities myself.

Suno

This allows me to put in a simple description of the style, genre, instrumentation of music i am trying to create to let the magic of AI to do the rest.  Includes adding lyrics.  The whole song is created.

I used copilot to create the lyrics.

Suno then puts it all together.  First shot was pretty decent.

What i found easiest was to get copilot to describe music that i liked in the suno prompt format.  That gave me loads of ideas on how to create a description of the music i wanted to created.

Marvellous.

I thought up the song titles!  Can't leave it all to AI.  Got to keep one step ahead of Skynet.

On a more serious note - this is a live example of how AI will change careers.  The songs i produced would have cost thousands of pounds and many days using expertise that would take several years to learn.  And there was me producing it in under an hour, on my first attempt with Suno.

Future steps

I have only been testing this for a few hours but i am hooked.  I can easily see myself producing an album of music i like related to Eve Online.

My songs so far

Both Eve Online trading related.  Both relaxing.  No loud ballads from me.  yet.

Night Trading

Regional Trading

Trial music

I was actually trying to get the lyrics fit into this music and this music the AI created.  But the addition of the lyrics changed things a bit.

I clearly have more to learn in how Suno works.

Alpha Market Trading - Omega bought, project completed

3 May 2026

The background to this series: i aiming to use Regional Trading between Jita and Dodixie to take an alpha account to Omega status.

My wealth is 2.4 billion having converted 500 Plex worth 2.2 billion into Omega one month ago and last night 500 Plex worth 2.4 billion into Omega to sustain my Omega status.

Sell Orders this morning are 2.7 billion and 187 million isk vs 1.5 billion Sell Orders when i bought the first Omega - therefore i am in a better position to retain omega and therefore i consider this a success.  And will close the project now.

I have proven i can firstly get from alpha to omega and then retain omega.

Orders on the Market

Current Wealth.

If i only look at ISK + Market Orders + Items in Inventory that are to be sold (so ignore my catalyst, ammo etc), then my worth is 2.3 billion which is made up from

ISK 0.2bn

Plex 0.0bn (=0 Plex)

Inventory 0m

Sell Orders 2.7bn

Provision 0.5bn

I have always taken a 20% provision against my Sell Orders which reflects the Transaction Tax that will be paid when the items sell + the cost of reducing the price to keep it competitive if required + the eventual reduced price when sold.  In reality, i rarely end up needing this provision.  But lets keep things conservative and understand that the only ISK is ISK.  Everything else is an approximation until sold.

Alpha Market Trading - 4.7 billion having bought Omega. Ready to buy my next Omega

2 May 2026

The background to this series: i aiming to use Regional Trading between Jita and Dodixie to take an alpha account to Omega status.

My wealth is 4.7 billion having converted 500 Plex worth 2.2 billion into Omega.

The aim is now to renew Omega within 30 days to prove it is sustainable.  I have until 5 May to do this vs todays date of 2 May.

I am now about to buy the next Omega to give me 30 days added on to stay Omega status.

Therefore, this will not be my last post on this series but i have now completed the aims of taking alpha to omega and staying there!  With 3 days to spare and Sell Orders of 2.5 billion (vs 1.5 billion when i made Omega status 57 days ago) - therefore i am in a better position to retain omega and therefore i consider this a success.

Alpha Market Trading - 4.4 billion having bought Omega

1 May 2026

The background to this series: i aiming to use Regional Trading between Jita and Dodixie to take an alpha account to Omega status.

My wealth is 4.4 billion having converted 500 Plex worth 2.2 billion into Omega.

The aim is now to renew Omega within 30 days to prove it is sustainable.  I have until 5 May to do this vs todays date of 1 May.

Therefore, i will give it one more day (tomorrow is Saturday) to invest in the market before i start to gather isk to buy the 500 Plex to buy the Omega

New Skills

My main character is now:

Retail 4 and Trade 4 - which gives it 53 selling slots.  Therefore over my 5 selling characters i have 121 slots but i suspect from here on in i will only need the 3 characters.

Broker Relations 4 - which means every item listed costs 1.8% (vs 3% base fee).

Accounting 4 - which means that every item sold attracts a transaction tax of 4.2% vs 7.5% base fee).

Advanced Broker Retaliations 4 - which means that relisting fees are 0.65% vs base of 1.5%

When to start collecting isk to buy plex?

I now have 5 days until my account needs a new Omega.  I am not sure if i can make it - it will be close.
