Dev blogs and official information

• Community Spotlight: Thirty Days in EVE Online - Forum discussion
Kudabeybe Ahmed is fresh to EVE Online as he began playing on November 24th after picking up an EVE Online account through Steam. Since then he had learned about PLEX and set himself the challenge to earn enough isk in his first 30 days to buy a PLEX from the in-game market. Kudabeybe has been recording and releasing since then a video for each day of his experience in EVE Online. Check out the interesting videos!

Featured Fansite: Sovereigntywars
The Featured Fansite, presented by CCP Gargant, is this time Sovereigntywars operated by Shalee Lianne. The blog and mainly focuses on everything related to Factional Warfare. As you will soon come to realize from reading the blog Factional Warfare is more than simply flying into the systems and blowing your enemies (or your friends) up. Playing the market, doing agent missions, manufacturing, and many other aspects all come to play to be successful. Explore Sovereigntywars!

Duality Opens For EVE Universe Data Migration Testing

For the next few days, the Duality test server will be open to test a system where the EVE universe data is not directly authored into the database, but instead will be authored to files in a source control system. This will allow for much more flexibility for changing game data. More information is available in the forum thread by CCP Lebowski.

New Eden Open II schedule changes

The initially announced dates of the New Eden Open II have been changed. Signup's start at January 7, ends at January 20. The NEO II matches start on March 1st and end at March 16. Check CCP Gargant's new post for the full schedule!

Ongoing improvements to large fleet battles

As CCP Veritas confirms, we have continued efforts to improve the experience of large fleet battles. Occasional node crashes, such as in recent massive battles, are not due to server overload but due to undiscovered bugs (which get exposed only in very rare cases). Errors, which resulted in previous node crashes, got already fixed on Tranquility!

CCP Logibro loves his Fedo

CCP Logibro loves his Fedo and will call him Squishy - some people think this is a questionable move. Did the Yule Lads bring you a Fedo as well? Check out the EVE Advent Calendar if you haven't already!

CCP Fozzie and his abilities to see into the future

While everyone knows that CCP Fozzie is a robot sent from the future, he also can be very elusive with rarely outright denying things as crazy as they might sound. I guess we all have to wait and see what the future will bring!

Tea? Did someone mention tea?

Delicious tea! The only way to be sure. Of course this fact is also known by CCP Falcon.

Visiting Fanfest? GM The Doctor has great advice!

As someone asked about food in Iceland due to visiting Fanfest 2014, GM The Doctor stepped in and gave a quick overview of good burger and fast food places. Check it out!

Center of New Eden

CCP Falcon steps forward and enlightens us once more with his never-ending wisdom. The physical center of New Eden (not counting number of jumps or travel distance) is the system Mohas. The player Darkblad (famous for his German EVE Infolinks) hosts many information of New Eden's topology here, originally compiled by Archentar Symonia. Dive into that pool of information!

The best sound in EVE?

Some consider the squishy sound that a pod makes when you kill it the best sound in EVE ever. CCP Falcon seems to agree here.

You are...

Another snipe by Chribba

Yay, another Friday with a great overview, Thanks Phantom \o/

Small note: The host of interesting information about New Eden's Topology mentioned above was in fact compiled Archentar Symonia. The original pages got deleted during a server rework/relocation @ planet risk. I just preserved that information as it is in fact source of many facts about the world we're playing in.

Next week neither.

Nor the week after it.

Hi, I love your games but q;) but I love to do production, but I am limited to t1 because t2 blueprint blueprint are not purchased or have suddenly always the same player on the monopoly of t2 bpo I finds its a shame because this is a part of the game stopped for me, and when there na of t2 bpo this is almost useless bpo impossible to have pretty bpot2 vessel etc and its going moin are person who made ​​the production t2 bpo because they stopped playing or t2 bpo lost ..... therefore possibly t2 item will be more due purchasable price for moin = producer prices rose but hey thank you and good games - = (*) = -

Nice weekly update, thanks! I'm hoping someday when the in station play comes online it'll be a place to let my Fedo roam. No mention however of the Stratios I'm hoping Santa leaves under the tree.
