Down the Chain

Guides

The written version of the campaign. Every guide is dated, stamped with the game version it was written against, and graded the same way the Atlas is. If a number came from a rewards table rather than from play, it says so.

Fits

Every ship named in a guide has its own page, with the fit, what it cost when we bought it, the skills that carry it, and which Atlas sites it will actually clear.

How to read these

The grade badge on a guide is the weakest link in it, not the strongest. V means it was run on camera and the episode is linked. B means at least two independent sources agree. C means one source, or our own theorycraft that has not been flown yet, and it will say which.

The date is not decoration. EVE ships three expansions a year and the fast-moving parts of the game outrun their own guides. When a page here passes an expansion cycle without being re-checked it starts saying so at the top, in the open. See methodology and sources.
