Devblogs
  • Community Spotlight: EVE Bet - Forum discussion
    • CCP Eterne's latest Community Spotlight introduces EVE Bet. EVE Bet is an easy-to-use website that players can access through the EVE in-game browser. Bets can be placed on both real-world sporting events and a variety of in-game events, such as the Alliance Tournament XI. This Spotlight explains also the inner workings of EVE Bet and presents interesting statistics.



Devposts on the forum and news
[list]
  • Odyssey 1.1 - Ore Prospecting Array sites
    • After Odyssey 1.1 the ore sites spawned by the Ore Prospecting Array upgrade will be higher quality in better truesec space. Also the general ore composition of large (Scordite to Plagioclase), enormous (Omber to Hedbergite) and collosal (Pyroxeres to Hemorphite) clusters will be changed.

  • Odyssey 1.1 - Minor Dominix change
    • The drone tracking and optimal range bonus for the Dominix will be lowered from 10% per level to 7.5% per level.

  • Odyssey 1.1 - Warfare Link changes version 2
    • + Link bonuses is changed to be a command ships skill and not a role bonus. The skill bonus will be 3% per level third bonus for that skill.
    + The bonus provided by the information warfare skill and info mindlink is switched back to lock range.
    + The base strength of the Interdiction maneuvers link is 8% for T2 (6.4% for T1). This gives it a maximum strength of 34.5% as opposed to 38.8% in the earlier proposal and 53% on TQ currently.
    + Gang link bonuses will not affect capital local repair modules.
    + Navy Mindlinks will require 100k LP, 100m isk, one of each of the T2 mindlinks that they combine. (This adds about 150m to their price total)

  • Odyssey 1.1 - Command Ship changes version 2
    • Additionally to the Warfare Link change updates mentioned above, CCP Fozzie also updated the command ship changes. Especially the Nighthawk (Kinetic missile bonus changed to 7.5% per level of Caldari Battlecruiser, Missile RoF bonus changed to 7.5% per level of Command Ships) and the Astarte (Medium Hybrid damage bonus changed to 7.5% per level of Gallente Battlecruiser, Medium Hybrid RoF bonus changed to 7.5% per level of Command Ships) got skill bonus updates.

  • Alliance Tournament battle recorder
    • With opening the CREST for the Alliance Tournament, it was possible to create nice battle recorder and playback tools. At the end of AT XI two tournament recorders are available CCP Tournament recorder and the 3D Match viewer at null-sec.com.

  • Data and relict sites in Wormholes
    • CCP Fozzie would like to make especially explorers in wormholes aware about looting data and relict sites. When you're looting scatter containers in wormhole space, make sure that you have plenty of free cargo space available or you'll miss out on the high volume stuff!

  • Predict the ATXI Winners - Results
    • The winner of the AT XI "Predict the Winners" contest had to be decided by CCP Eterne via flip of coin. The lucky winner is Kardiara who wins a nice bundle of Razer Gaming equipment including keyboard, mouse and headset. Congratulations!

  • CSM8 Town Hall #2 on August 17
    • CSM8 Town Hall #2 will take place Saturday August 17, at 1900 EVE time. The focus of this Town Hall will be the upcoming summit, the recent balancing changes to HACs, Command Ships, local reppers, and gang-links. Of course the CSM will take also questions from any EVE player (past, present, future).

  • Odyssey 1.1 - Jump Clone skills, reduced cooldown and increased amount of clones
    • With Odyssey 1.1 additional Jump Clone skills will be introduced. Informorph Synchronizing reduces the time between clone jumps by 1 hour per skill level. Based on player feedback, we introduce also the skill Advanced Infomorph Psychology which will add 1 more jump clone per level.

  • Alliance Tournament XI - Day 5 and 6 replays available
    • CCP Loxy has published the replays of the matches from final days 5 and day 6 of the Alliance Tournament XI. Check out the day 5 and day 6 on our CCP YouTube...

    Still lovin' it!

    Every week I've found at least one or two things that I hadn't picked up on through the week, and I'm on the forums quite a bit.

    I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

    These recaps really are handy. There's always something listed that I missed.

    Thanks for keeping up with them CCP.

    Domi nerf :(

    [Farnsworth] I'm sad now :* [/Farnsworth]

    Upon reading the specific thread;

    Incredibly poorly thought out Domi nerf no less :(

    [Farnsworth] I don't want to live on this planet anymore. [/Farnsworth]


    It seems the people in charge of Eve dont understand what "Bring in line" means....
