  • Exploit Notification Clarification - Starbase Forcefield Ship Bumping

  • Player Holiday Stocking Stuffer Giveaway
    • In celebration of the coming holiday season, Santa Spirit is running a special giveaway event! On the 14th of December, the player Santa Spirit will set up shop in a random system throughout the Derelik region and give away gifts to players. Read more...

    People are still using Windows 8?

    What the **** kind of sorcery is this?

    When Bon Scott died and he appeared before St. Peter at the gates of Heaven, St. Peter looked at his record and told him he couldn't get in. Just then, God screams at Peter, "Let him in, Karen Carpenter is driving me nuts. I want to hear some music with balls. We'll haggle over the paperwork later." At least I hope that's what happened.

    Once more you have provided a great summary for the weeks happenings.

    Thank you.

    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.

    What do you mean with "ignoring"? Did I miss some relevant dev post on the forums or news? If so, please let me know so that the summary can be updated. Thank you!
