Dev blogs and announcements
EVE Euro Tour 2015 - CCP Does Europe - Feedback
We are excited to announce the CCP Euro Tour 2015. CCP devs are going to visit a bunch of player gatherings in Europe end of September. The Euro Tour 2015 starts with EVE_NT on September 19, continues with EVE Paris on September 21 and EVE Berlin on September 23, and closes with EVEsterdam on September 26/27. Join the fun!

Alliance Tournament XIII Kicks Off! - Feedback
The Alliance Tournament XIII starts this weekend with intense action and crazy battles. Watch the live stream (provided by ISD, thank you!) and follow all the matches Saturday and Sunday starting at 14:00 UTC. Check out the schedule and the tournament brackets!

I feel safe in Citadel city - Feedback
More design plans for the new Citadel features: When a Citadel structure is destroyed, the asset safety mechanics kicks in. This means that, generally speaking, your items won't be lost or destroyed when the Citadel is destroyed. Instead you will be able to retrieve your items either at an NPC station (that will cost ISK) or build a new Citadel and retrieve the items there.

Citadels, sieges and you - Feedback
More design plans for the new Citadel features: Citadels can be attacked and defended via Entosis Link mechanics (though no Command Node spawning). All Citadels, no matter their size, will have three vulnerability/reinforcements states windows. Additionally Citadels will have vulnerability windows that are longer with increasing structure size (and longer for lower security status of the space).


Videos
360 video - The Ships and Factions of New Eden (by Scott Manley)
Scott Manley made an impressive 360 video about the ships and factions in EVE Online. We highly recommend to watch this video (ideally in VR or on your phone) and to move around the viewport. Further insight how the video was produced and which challenges were encountered can be found on the EVE forums here. Thank you, Scott!

The Scope - Drifter forces assault Amarr Navy Headquarters in Safizon
A large Drifer force has appears at the headquarters of the Amarr Navy starting a large assault. While the Amarr Navy was on high alert already with hundreds of ships available, more and more Drifter ships arrive on the battlefield. Admiral Ren Karetta from the Amarr Navy calls on immediate assistance from all pilots loyal to Empress Jamyl Sarum I. and the Amarr Empire.

World news
Flight Trials Begin For Imperial Flagship
The Imperial flagship TES Auctoritas was sighted in the Norgoh constellation of Domain accompanied by a flotilla of escort vessels as she traveled across the Throne Worlds. Billed as the "most technologically advanced vessel in the Imperial Fleet", details of TES Auctoritas' capability have remained under close guard. It is expected that the vessel will spend up to two weeks in flight trials, testing everything from the construction and durability of her chassis, to the performance of her weaponry and engineering subsystems before she returns to Safizon for her final fitting and formal commissioning.



Alliance Tournament
Updates on the prize ships
CCP Larrikan gives us an update about the tournament prize ships, the Sansha's Imp and Fiend. The ship attributes are base values, they are the raw values and will be modified by the skills piloting those ships.

List of Flagships
Flagships in the Alliance Tournament can be equipped with all types of modules, up to Officer types. This makes Flagships very powerful, but the drawback is that once an Alliance Flagship has been destroyed, it cannot be used again during that tournament.

After another hot day, the week in review is a perfect opportunity to chill a little. Thank you again, CCP Phantom!
