"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 35/2014 can be found here. Available is also the overview 2014.

The current "This week in EVE" gives on overview of the week from September 13th to 19th


Dev blogs and official news
  • Opt-in Notifications for Oceanus - Forum discussion
    • A new notification is under constructions which will give you a much better sense of what is going on in EVE regardless if it unpaid bills, friends getting online, insurance notification or all sort of other things. The new system will be also highly configurable. With Oceanus we see the launch of a beta version with an opt-in option.

  • Some NPCs Just Want to Watch the World Burn - Forum discussion
    • CCP Fozzie comes up with an interesting summary (and graphs) on the Burner missions first introduced with Hyperion. He also gives an outlook on more Burner missions coming with Oceanus that will contain also NPC logistics.

  • A visual update of Wormhole space with Oceanus - Forum discussion
    • CCP Myrkur presents in his dev blog not only improved wormhole background visuals, he also explains the design process behind the new visuals of wormholes and comes of course with a lot of most beautiful images! Check out his blog!

  • Join Us! - EVE Online Player Gathering in Paris! October 2nd, 2014
    • To celebrate the launch of the French localization of EVE with Oceanus, CCP hosts an exciting player gathering in Paris on October 20th. We will be curating an exclusive EVE Online exhibition that includes art, some highlights from EVE Online’s 11 year history and French-localized video trailers. In addition, for the first time outside of North America, you can see the "Day in the Universe" visual experience previously displayed only at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Check out the Eventbrite page and forum thread!

  • Play EVE: Valkyrie at Tokyo Game Show and EGX London!
    • Do you happen to be in Tokyo on September 20th to 21st or in London from the 25th to 28th of September? Then don't hesitate to visit the Tokyo Game show to experience EVE: Valkyrie with Project Morpheus. Check out in London the EGX and the Virgin Media booth to get a get a hands on of EVE: Valkyrie on the Oculus Rift DK2 - or chat with CCP Leeloo, CCP Falcon and CCP Bosun who will be there as well!

  • Another EVE Vegas Winner Revealed!
    • EVE Vegas is developing into a gigantic EVE player gathering, only topped by the annual Fanfest in Iceland. Everyone who couldn't attend Fanfest has another chance now to experience an epic event with CCP devs and lots of player fun at EVE Vegas from October 17 to 19. CCP supports EVE Vegas in various ways, for example by having a draw among every registered visitor and a raffle with prizes such as room upgrades and limousine round trips. You still can register for EVE Vegas!




Background story
  • Are there traditional military branches in the Empire?
    • The interesting question came up if, for example, the Gallente have not only a fleet of space ships but also some traditional military branches such as ground troops. CCP Falcon confirms that ground troops and other traditional military branches exist.

  • Are capsuleers slavers?
    • Who is powering the capsuleer ships and how are they treasted? What is the mindset of people who are willing to serve on capsuleer ships that will in most cases just explode leaving everyone dead (except for the capsuleer pilot)? Are capsuleers the worst kind of slavers? Interesting questions indeed!

    Very disappointed with Oceanus, hard to even call it a patch. And the rest of the 'news' is hardly interesting at all.

    I'd like to ask the devs when we can expect real features that affect gameplay and shake up how stale null has become. I have been waiting since 2010 for a real expansion.
