This dev chat discusses "Operation Nemesis," a significant event for EVE Vanguard that coincides with its free open access period starting September 16th. The conversation highlights how this event will serve as a major playtest, showcasing a vertical slice of the game and its integrated narrative and world-building. A key focus is the cross-game integration, where player actions in EVE Vanguard will directly impact the EVE Online universe, a concept being expanded beyond previous "Insurgencies." The event aims to create a visible and meaningful connection between the two games, offering players rewards in both and fostering a shared universe experience.
