Dear Sirs

EVE is the game that is extensively upgraded. Sometimes its difficult to track all of the changes and you will find them out in action. Have you considered showing link after login screen that will lead to list of patches (to game mechanics), and look like :

02.11.2012 Patch 1.4.0.01

- Autodestructed ships with agression timer appear on the killmail
- Implants from pod appear on the killmail
- Cargo size of x ship have been changed from 2000 to 2500 m3
(totally condensed, something like Patch notes from offline games)

And so on, so the player can track recent changes, and will not need to read hundreds of forum pages to stay informed.
Its a bit troublesome to implement, but I think it would benefit players.

I searched for similar idea, but found none. Sorry if I repeated some other player idea.

Or maybe show those patchnotes / link to patchnotes in the launcher?

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

This too, and link to full list, would love that because many times I was suprised by changes.

Umm ... isn't there already a link to Patch Notes in the Launcher? (right above the link to the Dev Blogs?)

The Patch notes are ok, as they contain all information, too bad those are all changes, not only mechanics. Maybe it would be possible to point out those changes by using different color. (the graphic glitches in character screen are not so important to me). For example all changes in game mechanics would be written used red font.

Other thing is that I cannot find link to patch notes neither in game launcher, nor in game.
