Media companies are suffering in the wake of the sudden plummet in viewer count, with companies all across New Eden asking: Why? “It’s as if thousands of viewers of our televised programs lost access to their viewing screens” says an analyst for The Scope. Viewer retention is very important for these companies, and thus several new shows have been pitched in order to reel back in the lost consumers.

The premise for Hanger Wars is rather simple, but very interesting. Several entrepreneurs take great risk in buying out closed off and sealed storage hangers of pilots that have disappeared, been captured by CONCORD, or have retired from their capsuleering ways. What lies inside? That’s for us to discover in real time alongside those that buy out the hangers. “One day you’re finding blueprint originals valued in the billions, the next day you open up the hanger of some wacko that stuffed dead rats full of Veldspar and left them to rot in his hanger,” says Bill Jones, one of the regulars of the program.

So far the series has been a big hit with test audiences, and is expected to be well received among the general populace; its premise being much like the lives of many of us here in space. You win some, you lose some, and you have to deal with a lot of sticklers along the way. In the premiere episode we were allowed to watch for review purposes, there was a bid war lasting over three hours for a hanger lot that belonged to a former well-known Jita scammer. Let’s just say the five point four billion ISK investment for the hanger didn’t pay off.

Hanger Wars, coming this summer to a holo-viewer near you, has good potential to be a smash hit in this flurry of inactivity for the visual media of New Eden. I personally can’t wait to see what lies within the hangers of New Eden, and I hope you tune in to find out as well.
