Operation Magic School Bus Fundraiser 2025

Communications Center General Discussion

It is November so once again it is time for the fund raiser for Operation Magic School Bus. At the end of this month the Bus celebrates 11 years of helping newbros. Ages ago, I joked that I’d keep doing this until I ran out of assets. Joke’s on me, because your donations keep the Bus running and me permanently welded to the captain’s chair of this interstellar Flying Dutchman.

So, what’s “the Bus”?

Imagine a slightly sleep-deprived space trucker who’s been cruising around New Eden for years, stopping by rookie systems for all four empires to hand out ships like some kind of cosmic delivery Santa. (Santa is a slacker, he only does one lap a year) I give new pilots a solid ship (frigate, destroyer, or cruiser, depending on the age of the pilot), fully fitted and ready for adventure or at least a glorious explosion.

This isn’t some official CSM operation. It’s just me. (Well, me and you, if you donate.) If you’d like to help, you can contract items or send ISK to Mike Azariah in-game. I take anything, isk, hanger trash, AT ships . . . anything

If you’re thinking, “This sounds like a scam…” fair! It’s EVE, after all. Feel free to ask around first as there are plenty of pilots can tell you what the Bus has been doing all these years.

If you do donate, you have my thanks and the thanks of every rookie who’s ever undocked in a shiny new ship courtesy of the Bus.

Fly it like you won it,

Also @Chad_Frostpacker perfect opportunity to drop some bils on this, even just to spite a certain elephant in the room. :thinking:

Thank you, and no need to apologize, a donation is a donation and I am thankful just the same.

Is there a specific hull you could use or see as most useful? I would like to donate some ships but want to make it useful.

Thanks for making the fantastic news bulletin.

I likely hand out the most frigates so Punisher, kestrel, incursus, and rifter are the most common
