Dev blogs and announcements
All you need to know about the CSM 12 elections - Feedback
The Council of Stellar Management (CSM) is a player advocacy group democratically annually elected by the players to advise and assist CCP in the continuous development of EVE. The CSM 11 term is in its second half and we’re fast approaching the elections for CSM 12! In this new blog you will find everything you need to know about the upcoming elections for CSM 12, whether you’re running or voting. Check it out!

Fanfest Is Coming - Tickets Selling Fast!
Fanfest 2017, the incredible player gathering in Iceland from April 6-8, will be even more spectacular since we are celebrating 20 years of CCP! Check out the Fanfest website and have a look at various offers from our Fanfest partners!

New Eden Store: Convergence-Nova SKIN now available for Mordu's Legion ships
A new SKIN is available for Mordu's Legion ships (Garmur, Orthrus, Barghest). This SKIN uses the new pattern projection technology and is first of its kind for the Mordu's ships. Enjoy the Convergence-Nova SKIN with its striking orange & titanium-black color scheme!


February release
Insurance in Upwell Structures & more from
Some features from the February release are available for testing on the test server Singularity. For example ship insurance of ships in Upwell structures (that includes supercapitals and wormholes), improvements to the Industry window and more!


Issues and workarounds
Framerate issues with dust clouds?
We are aware of performance costs of the current clouds in game, and are currently exploring ways of either improving the tech behind them, or looking at how they are distributed within a site. We aren't happy with how they are and know that we are actively looking to correct them in the near future.

Rubber-banding and latency issues
We have recently received a number of reports from pilots that they have been experiencing “rubberbanding” as well as de-synchronization with the Tranquility cluster, notable latency and long session changes when travelling between systems. A number of teams here at CCP are currently working on a resolution to the issue. We would like to thank everyone who has submitted detailed bug reports, these are proving to be incredibly valuable in tracking down the source of these issues!

Explosions are too loud? Not for much longer!
After having received reports about explosion sounds being too loud, we have investigated this issue and developed a fix for it. Expect a fix for this issue within the next few days. Please remember to send us a bug report if you encounter something that is wrong in the game, please use the in-game bug reporting (accessible easily via the F12 menu) or report the issue via our website!

As someone suffering from all three issues, the Issues & Workarounds section this week brings me much joy!

"Framerate issues with dust clouds?"
"Rubber-banding and latency issues"
"Explosions are too loud? Not for much longer!"

Glad to see CCP is dealing with all three of these things. Especially the top two (explosion loudness is not so much a big deal)... especially especially the dust clouds framerate issues. Just please give us a toggle to turn off dust/gas clouds in the graphics options, same as missiles, drones, explosions, etc.

All the dust in the systems make them look like they are experiencing a smog alert !!!
Would love to look toward the stars and see BLACK not a brown soup!

Sandbox: An enclosed area filled with sand for children engaged in open-ended, unstructured, imaginative play. Also a place for cats to urinate and defecate...
