Tiamat release on February 17
Friendly fire toggle for corporations - how does the transition work?
Before Tiamat it was not possible to choose if corp members can or cannot shoot eat other without CONCORD intervention. CONCORD never intervened in that scenario. With Tiamat, corporations will be able to choose if they want to allow CONCORD to interfere or not. During the transition, the option for already existing corporations will be set to the non-intervention policy so that immediately with Tiamat nothing will change regarding FF. Only after that transition the corporations will be able to toggle on the intervention policy.

Svipul - why are the bonuses as they are?
The tactical destroyer for the Minmatar, the Svipul, will be introduced with Tiamat. CCP Fozzie explains in detail the reasoning behind the ship bonuses and why they are as they are. Don't miss out on these interesting details.

Simply enter in any chat channel on Singularity the message /copyskill to update your character on Singularity with the skills your character currently has on Tranquility.

Forum threads and the DB
Amongst the many threads on the EVE Online forum, one is extraordinary (or monstrous as some people put it). The "The Like and Get Likes Thread" thread by Fallen92 and outstanding by far: More than 138.000 replies, over 2 million views and even more likes, 6900 pages ... CCP DeNormalized just shudders when he thinks about the poor DB handling the thread.
