"This week in EVE" is a weekly overview of EVE Online related news and events and shows what is going on in EVE Online. The focus of this overview is on official news from CCP: For example, dev blogs and important forum posts by CCP developers, the ever evolving background story and upcoming events. The summary of the previous week 35/2013 can be found here. Available is also the overview 2013.

The current "This week in EVE" gives on overview of the week 36/2013 from August 31th to September 6th


Dev blogs
  • U and I made some changes: Odyssey 1.1. UI changes - Forum discussion
    • Several improvements to the User Interface were introduced with EVE Odyssey 1.1 on September 3, 2013. The usability of the drone window was improved (you can now launch / dock drones from your dronebay by dragging the drones from the according folder in the user interface into space / into the dronebay, bookmarks are sorted in a better way, it is possible to filter locator agents in the agent finder, and several more little were addressed which in total give a nice improvement. Check out the dev blog!

  • Confirming the Collector’s Edition Ship Date… and more! - Forum discussion
    • The EVE: The Second Decade Collector's Edition (CE) will be released on October 24th, 2013. The pre-purchase offer includes now the new Genolution CA-3 and CA-4 implants which gives you, if combined with the CA-1 and CA-2 implants, a bonus of 4.9% in cap recharge, cap amount, CPU, powergrid, max velocity, agility, shield and armor! If you have already pre-purchased the CE, you will also receive the CA-3 and CA-4.
    Additionally available for a limited time is the EVE: Collector’s Edition Promo Pack which includes all of the Collector’s Edition pre-purchase items plus a money-off certificate for the full purchase of the box set. Don't miss that opportunity!



Devposts on the forum and news
[list]
  • EVE Online: Odyssey 1.1 has been deployed!
    • EVE Online: Odyssey 1.1, our latest point release, was successfully deployed on Tranquility on September 3, 2013. Full patch notes and a feature overview are available. Please report issues in the EVE Odyssey Issues thread and general feedback in the EVE Odyssey Feedback thread. Enjoy!

  • Video: In development - EVE Online: Odyssey 1.1
    • In the latest In development video CCP Guard features various development teams and present their work on Odyssey 1.1. Don't miss to watch this excellent video!

  • EVE Online and DUST 514 nominated for Golden Joystick awards!
    • Both EVE Online and DUST 514 have been nominated at the Golden Joystick Awards for Best Online Game and Best Newcomer respectively. We would be proud if you would vote for us!

  • Custom delay before the radial menu pops up
    • CCP karkur explains the Radial Menu Delay in the EVE General settings. This delay affects the time between clicking something in space and the radial menu appearing and thus can help improving the user interface experience.

  • Sleeve tattoo issues are fixed with EVE Odyssey 1.1
    • Issues with sleeve tattoos from the EVE Collector's Edition not being rendered correctly are now fixed with Odyssey 1.1 amongst other things; please check the Odyessey 1.1 patch notes for the full overview of bug fixes.

  • Missions need a revamp - but content revamp is a long process
    • CCP Affinity confirms that we would like to revamp the missions in EVE Online, but this will be a long process and cannot happen overnight. We are starting to improve our set of tools, and we are also looking into issues with PvE in general.

  • [Winter] - Further Marauder rebalancing ideas
    • CCP Ytterbium read all the fantastic feedback you gave from his very popular first Marauder rebalancing suggestion and came up with a refined version. Please note that these ideas are open to discussions and not a completely fixed feature set! The Bastion Mode on the Marauder was changed; the 30% resistance boost was replaced by an improvement of the general resistances on Marauders. The armor and shield repair bonuses on the Marauder hulls got replaced by a bonus to Stasis Webifier. We welcome your feedback!

    Great work on the sumaries. They are appreciated.

    CCP's sand box is EVE Online.  The sand is owned by CCP.  We pay them a monthly fee to throw the sand at each other.  That is all that is here, so move along. Nothing more to be seen.

    Whooo!!!

    This week in EVE still ignoring :

    POS issues!

    CORP Role revamps

    Exploration!

    Null sec industry!

    Optional Cloud/Warp animation off buttons!

    Special Hanger mechanic failures!

    ALSO NOW WITH LESS SHIP REBALANCE DIRECTION!

    WTF is up with Marauders rebalance? Bastion module is terrible idea.

    Really looking forward to next weeks episode!

    Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

    Background story and in-game news
    • Results of Molden Heath conflicted
      • The Thukker Tribe has issued a report on the effect the presence of cloned mercenary corporations in Molden Heath has had on the region. The report details both the successes and failures in the 3 months since the tribe invited mercenaries to settle in the region in an effort to deter piracy. The report recommends the Minmatar Republic maintain the status quo to continue examining long term trends.



    Heh, strange metric for success. The last major EVE + DUST514 alliance ROFL just moved out of Molden Heath (Have fun in Curse dudes, sure you can hug stations even more there!).

    FYI the drop in pirate activity was caused by us going on holiday in Tasti. Normal pirate operations should resume in the next week Cool
