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 . . . .

Fanfest 2026

Fanfest 2026 is, as we all know, 14th to the 16th May 2026 in Reykjavík.

I have bought my tickets, booked my hotel room and booked my flight from London.

Therefore, it’s very safe to assume I will be there.

I’ll arrive on the Wednesday afternoon and I’ll be leaving on the Sunday afternoon. Don’t really want to miss anything at the beginning - whilst balancing my family life (some very skilful negotiations went in with my wife to secure this trip).

And I don’t want to run the risk of oversleeping on the Sunday morning and so missing my flight home.

I’m pencilling in I’ll probably get about 8 hours sleep in the whole thing.

Anything that involves views on what happens after an undock I’ll be on receive mode. Anything that involves the markets I will just speak my words of wisdom whether anybody wants to listen or not.

I’m going to estimate it’s been about 12 or 13 years since I was in Iceland .
