Dev blogs and official news
Corp Little Things & Friendly Fire Control - Feedback
CCP Punkturis introduces a first set of improvements made to the management of corporations. Those improvements will especially help CEO's and directors to manage their corporations better and more efficiently. Introduced will be also a "Friendly Fire" toggle which allows player corporations to choose (with a cool down of 24 hours) if friendly fire within the corporation stays legal as it is now or if it should become illegal so that CONCORD will take action. Also read CCP Masterplan's explanation on Friendly Fire and Factional Warfare and check out additional information from CCP Lebowski. Please also note that EVE isn't get "easier" by this, it just removes some unwanted consequences of current mechanics.

Fanfest 2015 Silent Auction - Servers & T-Shirts & Guns.. Oh My! - Feedback
The tradition of having a Silent Auction at Fanfest 2015 for charity continues on Fanfest 2015 with something very special: we will auction off original server blades from the Tranquility server! Those blades will be slightly modified (covered in poly-carbonate and decorated with an engraved EVE metal plate), but otherwise all original. Discover which other items will be available in the auction and read CCP Falcon's blog.

Fanfest 2015 - The Quafe Vexor Has Landed
Everyone who purchased a ticket for Fanfest 2015 is eligible for three ships decorated by Quafe: Quafe Tristan, Quafe Vexor and Quafe Dominix. While the Quafe Tristan has been delivered already, we now see the Quafe Vexor getting distributed. If you have bought a Fanfest 2015 ticket, check your redeeming system!

EVE Online: Flight Academy
The EVE Online: Flight Academy is a series of focused video tutorials made by CCP Customer Support to support both existing and new players with useful information. While just recently started, we also see tutorials about NPC and player corporations, planetary interaction and the API. Visit regularly the Flight Academy on YouTube as new video tutorials are added several times a week.



EVE Probe
Make a scene with EVE Probe - good dev support!
With the latest release of EVE Probe you now can create your own scenes to playback (don't forget to share those scenes and images!), but this is not the end of the EVE Probe development. Creating more complex scenes with camera animations is on the to-do list as well as fixing existing bugs. Beyond creating beautiful images and aesthetics, EVE Probe with own scenes considerably helps discovering bugs in the graphics engine and performance bottlenecks. Get the latest EVE Probe installer and play around!


Fanfest 2015
St. Patrick's Day during Fanfest
St. Patrick's Day is during the Fanfest 2015 week and of course we can't miss this opportunity as CCP Guard points out correctly. We also have CCP Puck, who organizes the Fanfest soccer tournament, suggesting to have some nice green kits for the players in this match.

Weather in March for Fanfest? CCP Explorer knows what to expect
When asked about the weather in March in Iceland so that visitors to Fanfest can pack accordingly, CCP Explorer knows exactly what to expect: unpredictable weather! While this sounds a bit odd, it is true nonetheless. Weather in March in Iceland is especially unpredictable, so be prepared for everything.

Soccer match player vs devs - name required
The soccer match player vs developers during Fanfest 2015 is developing nicely, but now we need a name for this event. Your help is required!


[u]Game...

Thank you very much

Keep it up!

Thanks for the update CCP Phantom!

Thanks for the update! Don't worry, it is soccer, not football.

I for one was disappointed to find that CCP removed the learning skills from the game, i think removing attribute points and, implants from the game is a horrible idea. These feature are one of the most original mechanics in any game and, bring a unique aspect to the game that i enjoy playing. Back when the learning skills where available, players who decided to invest heavily in this skill tree were rewarded with faster skill queues. Please do not remove attribute points from the game CCP. Enough damage has already been done.

Just my opinion,

Thank for the post.

I would like to point to CCP FoxFour's linked post as explanation and for further information. Settings are stored at the client installation location. You can use multiple installation directories to store different client settings. You also can use symbolic links for that as quoted in the original post.
