Return of the aggregated character stats
A year ago we published aggregated character stats (powering fantastic apps such as http://spreadsheetsin.space/ by Bellatroix, https://youreveyear.appspot.com by Aaeriele and https://pozniak.pl/yearly-stats by Lukas Rox), the data was pulled from Singularity but essentially not available for a long time. Now we come with the fantastic news that the aggregated character stats are back! The data behind these new character stats is not live data, instead it will be routinely updated. YourEVEYear has been already updated, you can also see your stats on the excellent Fuzzwork site - thank you for those excellent apps!

The Hunt is on!
Intel from the Valkyrie has revealed that numerous pilots have been kidnapped and imprisoned by a select group of Guristas. The same cell that intercepted the Guristas communications have also taken down the tech that hides their facilities harboring the captured pilots. Held for research and then transported to an unknown faction calling themselves "Schism", these pilots are doomed unless you come to their aid. Guristas Detention Sites dot all regions of space and appear to be initial holding tanks for kidnapped pilots. Guristas Transportation Sites are more guarded, found in low sec space, and often store more valuable caches of items. Search for the facilities, destroy any Guristas forces that stand in your way, loot the spoils! Also, check out the event website The Hunt!

Caldari Navy intercepts Guristas convoy in Black Rise
A skirmish close to the Enaluri stargate in Akidagi, Black Rise left a significant number of Caldari Navy vessels in need of repairs, and more than two dozen Guristas vessels destroyed. Wing Commander Hikemi Korrado of the Caldari Navy’s 37th ‘Octopus’ Squadron confirmed that “three Caldari Navy Caracal-class cruisers and four Scorpion-class battleships were heavily damaged. The contact occurred after Navy forces tracked and intercepted what was believed to be a Guristas Production logistics convoy.” An abridged report contained details of a number of frigate and cruiser class escort vessels, as well as two Charon-class freighters loaded with clone reanimation units and medical equipment, all of which was destroyed. The statement also included details of the involvement of a third force which assaulted the Guristas vessels, but as Korrado states “they were operating illegally, and independently of the Caldari Navy, within Caldari borders, without Caldari Navy authorization."

Jovian Directorate Withdraws from Concord Inner Circle and Designates SoCT as Successor
CONCORD Inner Circle President Seri Okonaya has just announced the formal withdrawal of the Jovian Directorate from the CONCORD Inner Circle, with the Society of Conscious Thought designated as the full successor state of the Jove Empire for the purposes of the CONCORD Assembly and Inner Circle. President Okonaya was joined at a special Inner Circle press conference by SoCT Elder Mentor Matshi Raish, introducing him as the Society's representative on the Inner Circle. The Society's ties with the Jove Empire have always been close and we have been the inheritors of a great cultural legacy. We have now been given the great responsibility of inheriting the role of the Jovian Directorate as partners with the four great nations of New Eden in maintaining and regulating the institutions of CONCORD. President Okonaya and Mentor...

Wondering if we are still again the sov upgrades talk about while ago ... Did this drop off the map or what.. during your summer topics of sov changes.. ??

Holy pepperoni, in-game notification about This Week in EVE \o/

No, seriously. This is awesome. Gotta spread good information around.

I for one, welcome this new animation.

Yeah, a vote for this guy would be like a vote to turn eve into hello-kitty online. Don't make me draw another picture :)

Can any ships enter these or are there restrictions?

Game gets harder and harder to follow as every 30 days CHANGES.. shake well new game next month..

Began to appear here such characters, three days from birth and pumped all skills http://eveboard.com/pilot/IronBank - it can cause an imbalance in the game, what time and again has already been written! Can't you do that the player could add 1-2 million skill in a month? But it's the little things! All the basics of EVE will soon be revamped and not for the better!(

I can't imagine making a game and getting feed back from a bunch of people who are bad at the game and therefore hardly play it. That would drive me crazy!
