開發商Fenris Creations為《星戰前夜:晨曦》推出的資料片[Cradle of War],玩家很快將其縮寫為[COW]。官方見狀順勢玩梗,宣布團隊迎來最新開發者:一頭名為Valva的冰島奶牛,遊戲ID為FC CapitalCowPilot。官方推文一本正經地介紹:"她聽說EVE很難,所以為了學習技巧,目前正在Jouvulen星系領導一支公共採礦艦隊。"

為了讓奶牛真的能玩遊戲,官方在牛欄里架設了顯示器和特製按鈕,Valva踩下按鈕即可觸發遊戲內操作。直播中,觀眾能看到這頭奶牛操作採礦船在太空中收集資源,還能解鎖社群獎勵,旁白則一本正經地穿插各種奶牛小知識。

直播結束後官方公布戰績:在觀眾幫助下,Valva的首支艦隊清除了三個區域,開採了近1800萬立方米的礦石。官方也強調一切以Valva自己的作息為主,呼籲玩家不要打擾她 "採礦"。這場直播最終持續了約4到6小時,最高同時在線觀看人數突破4000人。
As it turns out, a cow CAN play EVE! Thanks everyone who showed up to mine with FC CapitalCowPilot. With your help, her inaugural fleet cleared three belts and nearly 18 million cubic meters of ore. That'll make for a lot of explosions down the line. During the fleet she fired off 35 command bursts, activated the PANIC module, and typed many combinations of "OOOOOO" and "MMMMMMMMMM". And to top it all off, she tanked a whopping 2.5 million damage before becoming the first ever cow to lose a Rorqual in highsec. A very specific accolade, for sure. During the stream FC Bee and Zelus announced that the Cradle of War: Major Update (COW:MU) is coming September 22nd. We'll have a more detailed look next week, but until then - fly safe! https://twitter.com/EveOnline/status/2095217805410889933
至於[Cradle of War]資料片本身,則為《星戰前夜:晨曦》加入了新的軍事戰役內容,玩家可通過任務推進所屬帝國目標,並新增名為Exordium的新手區域。不過比起資料片內容,顯然這頭奶牛主播更讓玩家們印象深刻。
