Game development
More info new Upwell Refineries
CCP Fozzie answers common questions about the new Upwell Refineries. What happens if the structure is getting reinforced? First reinforcement doesn't change anything, second one invalidates the process. The Refineries contribute to the industry index in nullsec sov.


May release
Blood Raider capital ships

Those ships are, like the other Blood Raider ships, a bizarre mix of Amarr and Minmatar elements having ship bonuses for Amarr and Minmatar skills. Those ships will pin you down (web bonus) and drain you empty (bonus to neut/nos) until you are dead. This is the Blood Raider way! Check out CCP Larrikin's additional info.

Aquiring Blood Raider capital ships
After presenting the new Blood Raider capital ships, we haven't mentioned how to acquire these powerful ships. Stay tuned, we will introduce that in the near future!

Portrait of CEO on Upwell Structures
We have a graphics update ready on Singularity. The portrait corp's CEO, which currently holds the structure, will be displayed in a non-intrusive way on Upwell Structures.

Thanks CCP, you are really doing well. Are the new star graphics part of the upcoming player research product for the search of additional planets and planetoids that was revealed earlier this year?

Keep up the changes, eye candy is part of the enjoyment and emersion in the EVE Universe too!!
