I'm posting this here as well, because it's still relevant.
The Mac launcher thread should really be unlocked until all of these issues are resolved.

We welcome you to check out the EVE Launcher with all its new features, improved diagnostics tools, and clear design. The download pages have been updated accordingly and are ready for you. The classic Launcher is still available for download, but is only suggested for Windows XP users.

How can you guys continually release updates that neglect or inconvenience your Mac customer base? Cases in point:

• The "Run game on DirectX 9" option, which is still present despite being acknowledged as an oversight. This was pointed out Dec-11/2015.
• The new launcher does not retain screen sizes for individual clients, and occasional changes or reverts graphic settings. This was pointed out Nov-14/2015.

There is also a bug where if you have Multi Launcher set to anything less than 1 second it will lock up. Fairly certain this was also pointed out previously, but if not - consider this now pointed out. Jan-1/2016.

I'm really at a loss for how things go from "Beta" to "Live" for the rest of the player base when the Mac versions are still at an Alpha state and released either incomplete or with glaring bugs, to be fixed 'whenever'. A great example of this are all the new graphic effects - which with the exception of the engine exhausts and armor damage are all but non-existant for Mac users.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
