BSB, short for “Bringing Solo Back” is a very old and storied in-game channel filled with folk whose bread and butter is solo and small gang PvP. If that interests you in the slightest, I can greatly recommend lurking and reading along the channel’s conversations. You can get some great info or inspiration from the killmails and discussions about fits and ideas. If you look for a new angle to approach PvP, this is a good place to find it.
Also inspiring is the Meta Shift competition brought to life and sponsored by members of the community: Capser24 and BrainStraw invoked the contest where capsuleers can send in videos for three categories during a season. At the end, there is the chance to win hefty prices: Chunks of PLEX and AT-ships, to be precise.
The first season ended a couple days ago and the winners have been announced. A overall very cool competition, that I wanted to give a shout-out on this blog as well. I hope I can shove the time off to participate in the coming seasons myself.

In the “Recommendation” category I share content from the EVE community that I think you should check out, either because it’s great artwork, a cool story, masterful gameplay, a combination of all of it, or something completely different.
