Dev blogs and Videos

• Trailer - EVE Online: Rubicon
The trailer for the next expansion EVE Online: Rubicon. Watch it!


• A Tale of Two Reasonable Things - Ship Maintenance Array Loot and Tech 3 Subsystem Refitting In Space - Forum discussion
This dev blog by CCP Fozzie shows how good features are developed based on interaction with the CSM and the community. The newly available re-fitting of subsystems on T3 ships in space and the looting of destroyed ship maintenance arrays are two examples of such excellent interaction and feedback.


• The New Character Selection Screen - Forum discussion
CCP Fear presents the new character selection screen. The main focus in the development here was on faster loading times and on improved usability.


• The Interbus Ship Identification System (ISIS) - Forum discussion
The ISIS is an in-game ship progression tree which dynamically shows all ships in EVE Online and their availability according to the character's skills. To further improve the visualization of the ship tree, new ship masteries based on the reworked certificate system are introduced.


• Better Living Through Mobile Structures - Forum discussion
With Rubicon we do the first steps towards a future New Eden where capsuleers have more power to shape their universe. CCP Fozzie shows the first four new deployable units as part of this future vision. Read the blog for further details!


• Operation Spectre - Event Breakdown and FAQ - Forum discussion
CCP Goliath dives on behalf of the live event team into background information of Operation "Spectre", the required planning and the execution. This blog also answers several questions asked by the community following recent events.

This article explains with a step-by-step instruction how you can transfer a character a regular EVE account to a Steam integrated EVE account.

Forum signatures are working again

As promised earlier by CCP raRaRa the forum signatures are back and working again. Well done!

EVE music on Soundcloud available again soon

CCP Manifest works hard to bring back the many EVE tracks to the CCP Soundcloud page - hopefully all the awesome tracks are back within a week.

Veteran home

Fanfest 2013 we promised veteran players subscribed for 10 years an exclusive 'Veteran' station in high sec. As easy as such adding such a station might sound, the devil is in the detail. We hope to have the station ready before next Fanfest though!

Impressions of a large fleet

A wonderful immersive story describing the true events around the empire led capsuleer assault on pirate facitilites are rightfully praised by CCP Goliath. Thank you, Gulboy, for writing this report!

Ideas for more structures

CCP Fozzie asks which more mobile structures you would to have available after Rubicon. What would you like to see?

Issues with Custom Offices on Singulary exist only on the test server

Issues with Custom Offices in Highsec on the test server do not reflect the development status of those structures, but are due to the nature of mirroring data from TQ to the test server.

CSM 8 meeting minutes

Meeting minutes from the CSM 8 Summer meeting are not published yet. While the meeting minutes are outstanding, CCP Dolan is working on them right now. In general the meeting minutes are important to review the work...

Keep up the good work.

Hmm... veteran home.... i still lack few years

There is. It's the only reason I log on to the official forums: It's worth the effort to make sure you keep going.
