    Devposts on the forum and news
    [list]
  • New products available at the EVE Store
    • New products are available at the EVE Store! Check out the new Bombardier, Minmatar Ops Jacket, Loadmaster and more!

  • New Player Training Session Schedule

  • Supercarrier Changes Coming In Kronos
    • With the volume change of fighter bombers in Kronos on June 3rd (the volume gets doubled), Supercarrier pilots are strongly advised to prepare their drone hangar accordingly or otherwise they might end up with an overloaded cargohold which would prevent actions like warping and jumping.

  • Third Party Developer Documentation
    • CCP FoxFour presents the first steps towards a new Third Party Developer Documentation on the EVElopedia. As the previously existing documentation was in cases outdated or sometimes even wrong, the documentation is now written from scratch. This includes non-automated work as CCP FoxFour explains.

  • Difference in PLEX prices
    • The price difference in PLEX between the US and EU mainly originates in including VAT or excluding it in the sales price as CCP Falcon explains.

  • EVE API and Public CREST discussion - public wars
    • CCP FoxFour lets you know about another exciting CREST endpoint on the test server: public wars. When this feature will be available for the regular live server Tranquility is yet to be announced.

  • Does Jove space exist?
    • Jove space? CCP Falcon has spoken: nothing to see, move along, capsuleer! CCP BunnyVirus on the other hand would love the opportunity to zap your brain after you saw the marvels of Jove space.

  • Blueprint data adjustment
    • CCP Greyscale discusses the streamlining and adjustment of static blueprint data and the community provides a lot of constructive feedback. To support the discussion and to give easier access to the suggested adjustments, CCP Greyscale also provides together with explanations a downloadable set of blueprint data. Please note that this set is just a suggestion and first functional draft; it cannot be considered a final set! The latest version can be found here.

  • Back after a few years pause
    • There character 'Telekon' is back after a few years of absence. Naturally he is amazed by the massive improvements that happened to EVE Online during all the previous expansions. Welcome back, Telekon!

  • Portrait Image Server for Singularity
    • As CCP Explorer explains, the portrait image server for the test server Singularity is reachable under http://image.testeveonline.com/Character/. A link to the 1024 x 1024 portraits can be constructed if you know the characterID and is: "http://image.testeveonline.com/Character/" + characterID + "_1024.jpg" An example can be found here http://image.testeveonline.com/Character/1264928698_1024.jpg.

  • Details regarding the Exploration Loot Spew removal
    • CCP Bayesian provides more information regarding the removal of exploration loot spew. To compensate for inevitably lost loot spew, the amount of loot in the containers will be 70% of what it is now, but blueprints will drop with the same rate. The Poteque 'Prospector' Environmental Analysis EY-1005 implant has had its loot scattering bonus replaced with a +5 coherence bonus to Data and Relic analyzers. In average we see currently 65,000 hacking attempts in sites per day.

  • Update on progress regarding the Third Party Developers License
    • CCP FoxFour gives an update on the [url=https://wiki.eveonline.com/wikiEN/index.php?title=Developer_License_Agreement]Third Party Developers...

    The provided link for "Overview 2014" could use some updating since it is suggested as an archive point.

    Until the update is done, you can take a look at my overview of 2014. Starting with May, it also contains links to German translations, just ignore them. The Weekly overviews listed there link to translations (but they again point to the english version).
