[Rubicon] Deployable tractor beam unit - first info

CCP Fozzie reveals the first iteration on the deployable tractor beam unit coming with Rubicon on November 19. Packed volume is 100 m3, storage space when deployed is 27.000 m3 and the tractor range is 125 km. Only the owner (fleet membership etc. is irrelevant, this structure is strictly personal) can take loot the content, but everyone else can destroy the structure and loot the wreck.

[Rubicon] Low sec entry-level combat exploration

CCP Fozzie presents an idea, first born from a player chatting with CCP Masterplan and now implemented with Rubicon: most of the highsec combat exploration content (combat anoms, DED complexes and unrated complexes) will be available in lowsec as well. This content in low sec should help small-scale organizations and beginners as well as veterans to some degree.

Concerns about warp acceleration changes in Rubicon?

Concerns were raised about the warp acceleration changes coming in Rubicon. CCP Fozzie confirms that the short and long term results of those changes will be monitored closely and, if necessary, adjustments will be made. At the moment the changes are all within the expected parameters.

This week in Eve: Somer Blink blows up in CCP's face, CCP activates wall of silence, tries to pretend nothing is wrong, and hopes the playerbase won't notice.

You somehow forgot to add that to your list, so I fixed it for you.

Once again a hardy well done....
