"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 33/2014 can be found here. Available is also the overview 2014.

The current "This week in EVE" gives on overview of the week from August 16th to 22nd

Dev blogs
  • An Update on Bug Reporting, Part 3 - Forum discussion
    • CCP Goliath informs us about improvements to the bug reporting system. It is now possible within bug reports to communicate with the developers/volunteers (and the developers/volunteers with you) and that you can edit your bug report.

  • Incursion changes in Hyperion - Forum discussion
    • Incursions are going to be changed with the Hyperion release. Especially the small Scout sites will give more rewards, but also Assault sites are improved. Additionally, Vanguard sites in Nullsec can be shared between more pilots without a reward loss.

  • Sharing is caring - Overview improvements with Hyperion - Forum discussion
    • CCP karkur presents an exciting feature coming with Hyperion: share your overview settings per drag&drop. Simply drag the settings into a chat channel (or notepad etc.) to create a link which will load those settings into the overview of those people who click that link. Details about more features, such as an overview history, are available in the blog. Check it out!

  • What third party developers probably want to know about Hyperion - Forum discussion
    • With Hyperion we also see improvements to the API, CREST and the Image Export. Read CCP FoxFour's blog to see what third party developers can expect with Hyperion!



Official news
  • Hyperion Release Page
    • The Hyperion release page has been published and is available now for you. Enjoy this beautiful page while you read more about some of the most prominent features coming with Hyperion on August 26th.

  • Hyperion Patch Notes
    • If the high level overview of the Hyperion release page didn't give you enough details, then dive into the information rich patch notes! All the coming changes of Hyperion are outlined in the patch notes with great details.

  • Hyperion Release Theme
    • While you revel in the Hyperion patch notes or as you browse the Hyperion release page you might want to listen to the freshly published Hyperion Release Theme. Enjoy this latest tune on Soundcloud!

  • In development video: Features of EVE Online's Hyperion Release.
    • In this "In development" video we see CCP Guard and other developers talking about the Hyperion release which brings changes to Wormhole space, Incursion rebalancing, new apparels and services in the New Eden Store and more. Check out this video.

  • Alliance Tournament XII - Review of the first weekend
    • The Alliance Tournament XII began on August 16h and will continue for three more weekends until September 7th.

Don't despair, there are three more weekends coming with the next action already waiting on Saturday, August 23rd.

  • Alliance Tournament XII - Prepare for Round 2
    • After an exciting first weekend, the Alliance Tournament XII is now in full swing with the second weekend starting on Saturday the 23rd of August at 15:00 UTC. This weekend we will see teams already fighting with all they have for survival not being eliminated from the tournament. Tune into the free live broadcast and follow the exciting matches, upsets and turn arounds!



General topics
  • God speed to CCP WhiteNoiseTrash
    • After years of audio development, CCP WhiteNoiseTrash is leaving CCP and thus the audio development team. The perfect moment to thank him for all the work he did, the wonderful features he developed, and to reflect on all long way from the old times when "EVE has sound?" was a common phrase to the amazing soundscape we have in EVE Online today. Fly safe, CCP WhiteNoiseTrash!

  • Scan IDs Consistent Across Downtime
    • CCP Masterplan is a genius and as such he makes the seemingly impossible possible. This time he persuaded the server code to keep scan IDs consistent over downtimes, no...

    (looks at Hyperion's New Eden Store section)

    Wait a minute... no tights?? Sad

    (looks at latest Sisi build)

    No tights seeded, indeed.

    (stiffs upper lip as the weight of yet another disappointment with CCP's usual ability to deliver settles)

    We are disappointed, CCP. TYFN.

    Many thanks for another good weekly update.

    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.

    Most people turned of audio in EVE years ago, good riddance, now hire a bugfixer.

    There used to be a working RSS feed for the main EVE News channel, but it has been borked since sometime before the summer. Feeds for patch notes and dev blogs are still available, though.

    While I certainly appreciate having this collation on the forums, would it be possible to get the news feed back up and running again?

    5 out of 8 replies are positive. Not bad for Eve Forums. I'm looking forward to seeing the effect of the wormhole spawn changes.
