The current "This week in EVE" gives on overview of the week from July 12th to 18th

Dev blogs


Official news
  • Drone damage exploit notification
  • An exploit involving drone damage has been brought to our attention. Abuse of exploits will not be tolerated. Players who’ve utilized this exploit are encouraged to pre-emptively step forward by filing a support ticket under the “exploits” ticket category. Players who suspect they’ve been on the receiving end of this exploit are also encouraged to file a report in the “exploits” support ticket category.


Devposts - Chatter


Devposts - Crius
[list]
  • Final list of Crius issues on the test server
  • The list of Crius known issues on the test server (open, already fixed but not applied etc.) was updated and now shows the final status. Thank you all for your help pointing out issues!

  • NPC standings and benefits for industry - why and why not
  • CCP Greyscale points out that grinding missions to receive benefits for industry is not the best way. A better way would be if you could receive industrial benefits by engaging in industry.

  • Not all ships/items are covered by a narrow team speciality
  • While teams can have a broad and a narrow specialty (more about specialties in this blog here and here), not all items and ships are affected by these specialties as CCP Greyscale explains. This is done purposefully.

  • Discussion and community feedback led to a slightly different job pricing model
  • CCP Greyscale informs that after a lengthy discussions and a lot good feedback from the community, the job cost pricing model was changed so that it is now based on the combined values of input materials...

    You might have noticed that I have structured the weekly summary a bit more into topics in the hope that this provides a better overview that is easier to read.

    Thank you for the updates and the change to make this easier to read thru.

    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.

    The new overview is Horrid..... is there a way I can just make the window look like the old? the freaking noise, graphics and layout is so distracting that it actually makes it harder do Research and Building.


    Please say there is a dumbed down interface. Been using the old one for years and really don't care for this one at all.
