Expansion EVE Online: Ascension on November 8
Jump Range Changes
We're looking at increasing the base jump range of combat capitals for the Ascension expansion on November 8. The base jump range for combat capitals will be increase by 1 light year (with max skills the range will be then 7 ly, 2 ly more than now), for supercaps the base range will be increased by 0.5 ly (max range 6 ly, 1 ly more than now). The formula for jump fatigue or cooldown timers won't change. Black Ops of Jump Freighters won't be changed, nor POS bridges.

Visibility of skill level restrictions for alpha players
The "Upgrade to Omega" links and Omega skill level restrictions (gold boxes) in the skill bars will only show for the Alpha players.


Issues and workarounds
Market history graph - background info
Thank you for your feedback regarding the revamped market graphs, introduced with the 118.9 release on Oct 11! CCP Antiquarian brings us some background info, for example about the dot and bar size, the choice of color and known defects.


Test server and testing
Player Account Clone States and Singularity
You can test Alpha/Omega clone states on our test server Singularity! Staring this weekend, after EOB Friday 14, slash commands are available to switch between Alpha and Omega states (/alpha - Enables Clone State Alpha; /omega - Enables Clone State Omega). If you find any issues you can submit a bug report through the client, instructions on how to do this can be found here. Thank you!


Various
Two highsec static wormholes from Thera
The massive Thera wormhole hub should have two static wormholes leading to highsec, three to lowsec and three to nullsec space. Apparently there existed a third highsec static wormhole, but that was not as it should have been. Read more about the unique wormhole system Thera! A quick overview of PVP activity in Thera can be found on zkillboard.

Removal of POS - when?
With the introduction of Engineering Complexes in the Ascension expansion on November 8, industrialists will get tons of new options and opportunities. However, what happens with the current POS, will they get removed? Don't worry, POS won't be removed any time soon!

If the the clone state is still up on the test server i'll try it out and maybe give some input.

Yeah a redesign of all of the people would be nice. Maybe even put a special hangar in the stations and citadels to where you put a dancer or pet in there and they show up in the captains quarters. All in all good changes are coming, keep it up CCP.
