EVE Information Portal

Looks great so far. Awesome work CCP!

Who turned off the lights in Amarr and Gallente stations (the others probably, too)? Their hangars are all dark and gloomy now.

I don't know if it comes from the suggestion I posted some months ago or not, but this is gold :D

The fedos ate the lighting cables.

We are super excited to announce Lighting 2.0.

Don't you know there's a war on? Turn that light out!

Special Offer on night goggles in the EVE Store.

The changes to fleets are nice.
But "Add Squad Members to Watch List" doesn't work properly if your squad size is bigger than your watchlist size.

One idea we had, was that it could be usefull to set a max squad size. Sounds like rolling back this new feature, but we wouldn't need it for all our fleets, just for those few where we want everybody to have their squads on watchlist.

An alternative would be larger watchlist, but as a Logi pilot I don't really want watchlists longer than like 20.

Why did I train fighters 5 again? Why did I train Gallente Carrier 5? I dunno, carriers are dead still. Guess I'm going back to my super tanked rorq that provides reps and can tank incursions.

So I'm missing something obvious here, but how do you set the bio for a Citadel?

I kind of like it, to be honest. There are some spots that could be touched up for sure (only seen Amarr and Caldari so far) but I wouldn't mind keeping the darker EVE lol.

The only thing about the warp-ins is... I wonder if FOF missiles would stop firing since there's technically no enemies on grid now between waves. I haven't tried FOFs for this event yet as I've been using 2 Confessors, but... if I break out my 2 Tengus I'll have to switch from HAM to HML so I can try FOFs.

I think the reason the rats aren't interfering too much as you say... is that some of the drone rats aren't even aggressing. Some are, no doubt (mostly the random swarm of drone drones and the boss cruiser/BC/BS), but a lot of the regular frigs/DDs/cruisers that warp in in waves just never shoot me. Very weird. Probably getting patched in Wednesday or Thursday morning.

Great job on the Vexor remodel! It's subtle, and therefore doesn't destroy the ship's identity, and yet a definite improvement - especially since now it's fully symmetrical (though it was certainly not the worst case of the baffling and generally unappealing asymmetry you folks are so inexplicably fond of .) For the very first few seconds, I was dubious (mainly because the one I was looking at was wearing the Guardians Gala event skin, which looks worse on the new model), but it quickly grew on me, especially when I noticed the folding armatures, suspected they retract in warp, tested it, and found that they retract and then some! :) My only (slight) criticism is that they look a bit Xmas-tree-esque from the rear - perhaps slightly too many lights, but not too bad (except on the Guardians Gala skin - again, there not so great.)

Now, if you folks are taking requests for future remodels: how about finishing building the Raven? The shipwrights clearly gave up and went to do something else before they finished the port-side - or perhaps they just stuck everything that was supposed to be on both sides, all on the starboard side... (While we're at it, the Omen also got rolled out before the shipwrights finished bolting on a fairing on the port-side....)

Also, nice choices of skins for the event, they are all among (in my opinion) the better looking ones. I do wonder, however, about the distribution of these skins - for example, they seem to drop with equal probability across ship classes, so one is just as likely to find a carrier skin as a frigate skin. To me, this seems rather silly - skins for rarer ships ought to be more valuable, especially since A) players flying those ships are more affluent, and B) there are so fewer of those ships in game than of the smaller ones (perhaps even more so now after the carrier nerf, if the sour-grapes one-trick-ponies' whining about the stiffening [not, mind you, removal] of their "I win" button is to be believed, anyway.) Also, aren't you (CCP) worried about the medium to long term impact of such a glut of skins on your skin sales in the NES?

Anyway, all round, I'd like to say "thanks, and good job"

EDIT: Addendum: One thing regarding a UI change: why the new "reload all" sound effect? It's rather annoying... something MUCH shorter and less intrusive would be more appropriate, I'd say. The chosen sound sounds too much like an alert. Of course, along with that, you folks COULD restore the REAL "Advanced Audio Settings" - what's up with this constant butchering of the soundscape? Tone-deaf audio team?
