Dev blogs and announcements
January release 119.1 has been deployed
The EVE Online January release 119.1 has been deployed on January 12th. Find out more about this release on EVE Updates; the full details are available for you in the patch notes. Please also use the feedback thread for further info.

YC 119.1 version 1.1 - Published on January 13
The version 1.1 of the release YC 119.1 has been published on January 13. It includes a fix for performance issues loading corporate hangar divisions in Citadels.

Exploit Notification – Generation Of Tech II BPOs From Destruction Of Citadels & Engineering Complexes
We have been made aware of a bug with Citadels and Engineering complexes that can cause the generation of Tech II Blueprint Originals upon their destruction. This bug is considered an exploit as of the timestamp of this news item and will be actioned as such. Inform yourself about other declared exploits.

118.10 Release To Be Redeployed Due To Issues With 119.1 Release
Due to an issue with the original 119.1 release on January 10, which resulted in server stability issues after its deployment, the 118.10 release was re-deployed on January 10. After the issue with that release was fixed, the 119.1 release was successfully deployed on January 12.

Credit Card Payment Issue Fixed!
Between January 10 and 12, we have received reports about issues with credit card payments. After investigation, we have been able to rectify this issue, which was related to a broken credit card form that was not allowing the correct input of card details.

New Eden Store: Glacial Drift SKIN now available
Following the Yoiul celebrations, the intriguing Glacial Drift SKIN is now available in the New Eden Store for 53 ship hulls (all "Alpha" hull ships, 13 per race, plus the Venture) for 1800 AUR each.

Timelapse - The Development Of EVE Online
Have you ever wondered what the code base of EVE Online looks like, and how it has changed, developed and migrated over the years? Using Gource.io, we visualized the changes to EVE's code base over the years. Check out the result in this video Timelapse - The Development of EVE Online. Further details can be found in the video description on YouTube.

Low numbers of dev blogs in 2016?
After being pointed to a record low of published dev blogs in 2016, CCP Falcon explains that - especially in 2016 - we have been moving the focus away from long text based blogs more towards videos, interviews, presentations and presence on other media. While text based blogs certainly have their merits, other forms can be valuable as well.

You guys will have some competition when Star Citizen finishes. Whenever it finishes.

On another note: have you considered making Eve Online completely free then adding in more micro transactions. I just ask because I also play Tera Online, War Thunder, and World of Warships. I don't know your budget but I would definitely play Eve all the time if it were completely free and I would still purchase items from the store. Just a thought.

Microtransactions should be a definite no go. Introducing rampant inflation would only cause more problems.

If they should add anything, they should add an introductory incursion class designed to be doable in cruisers. Of course, this would pay similarly to 3/10 DED sites or whatever, and not be nearly the "ISK printers" that the higher incursion classes would be, but making an introductory level of incursions available to alphas would be nice.
Alternately, Angels' Incursions or similar as a counterpart to Sansha's Nation in Minmatar/Gallente space.

They really have to do something though. There really is no point in playing this game as a f2p. I haven't played in 7 years and recently came back as a f2p player but now my best ship is a Caracal :(

Not sure if I'll be staying long tbh.

I recommend this interesting article on Crossing Zebras Things you can do with an Alpha clone by Cosmo, you might be surprised about the many different and exciting things you can do in EVE as Alpha!
