With a release of 5th March, my guess is they'll go into the post in about two weeks.

I think I got my CE on release day in the UK. I think.

Bought the CE, was massively underwhelmed with the crappy rifter but I want this book I want it now oh god.


Also it better have stuff on NOH or I will be pissed.

Is there going to be version of this for us poor people? I'd really like the book. I don't really care about the extras, but I can't afford to pay like 90 dollars for a book.

I will need to recheck prices again to be sure but there is a regular copy and an e-book version coming. E-books are bound to be cheaper but there are no prices for that yet.

Also, man, those limited editions fly off the shelves fast. Too bad I might need to get the electronic version because Musterbrand does not ship to Singapore.

The standard one is like thirty bucks.

Not necessarily, often they are the same price and sometimes they can oddly be more expensive.   :evil:

In the Uk e-books are liable for vat whereas print books are not, making Orange's statement especially true on this grey hunk of over taxed rock.

For those of you wondering about the price/where of the standard: http://www.amazon.com/EVE-Source-CCP-Games/dp/1616552719

From the Amazon description: "never-before-released material detailing the settings, stories, races, and factions of the EVE universe."

Hopefully that isn't a gross exaggeration. I am really trying not to be hopeful that this will be a massive, cohesive PF dump for us. No hope. Bad Jace, don't believe in hope.

Half of me hopes for detailed, insightful and world building fiction. 

The rest is hoping for the ultimate retcon schadenfreude singularity of the decade, on a scale that will make Mat Ward look like someone you'd want handling your IP.

You're safe hoping for a massive PF dump. There should be a lot of new or updated/fleshed-out material. Two examples I know of are that we'll be getting population counts/estimates for the Big 4 and discussion of capsule and cloning technology as well.

Both of which have implications of potentially amusing/schadenfreude moments, so you should be happy, Ael. :P

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

I won't mind a giant pseudo-retcon "reorganizing". PF collections like this are meant to do that for canon - settle issues, become the definitive source. Hence, ya know, the name.

Edit: Also, it may help them avoid future contradictions with future novels. Hand the author the Source book: "Don't veer."
