EVE Information Portal

you won't lose any content by us moving to more frequent smaller releases

LOL

Can I get the new icon sheet in highres please. I mean the one in updates.eveonline.com

2.5 hours and no update, can't log in, internet is clearly working..

not quite sure I'd call it a "success", unless they are trying to make me devote more time to WoWarships or other things and less time to EVE.

if that's the case, %100 success

Edit:, I do see an update in the launcher that shows me more stuff i can buy with RL money though... RMSuccess too.

UGH, in finally.....

Well, next week's sov release should be REALLY interesting after this.

What you guys are talking about failure. You paid your dollars/euros didn't you? Then is a complete success

*Here insert a scene of 'Sound of music' movie, any of them will do*

6 Week schedule... *looks at the date* more like 4 week? You do know that faster is not better?
Could it be the "summer hole" of 2015 is because of half the CCP stuff being on vacation? Because that would explain a lot of the following:

Improvements of Opportunities: ZERO.

Improvements of new starmap: ZERO.

Improvements of New Icons: 4 instead of 8 Drone icons sure is better, but the question is how good a quality this re-grouping really is. The rest of the improvements can't be called such, only a "change."
We have more of a fill for NPC stations and ships. Maybe this will help with the distinction but I honestly can't predict it. Also, you struck the option for a blue hue for friendly NPCs. May I ask what friendly NPCs are? There are neutral NPCs. Not friendly. The other question remains, if only NPC ships will receive the blue hue, or any NPC entities as well. I still would think it is better to colour the player ships and entities blue, so you can keep the white / grey for ALL NPC entities. This would avoid an overly blue overview when seeing lots of NPC stations.
You also talk about increased line thickness. Where? I see nothing of this. Anyone can show me a change?
Mobile Depot at least has less pixel pollution now, but I still would not understand why this icon should be associated with "mobile."
Wrecks icon change is worse than before. What is so bad with FILLED icon for full wreck and HOLLOW icon for empty wreck? Did you at least group NPC and player wrecks together?

Hecate: Good job forgetting to seed the skillbook. By the way, where did these skillbooks come from? Because I only see player-generated sell orders and not NPC generated sell orders. Not even in Gallente Space. So... where did they come from? Oh and, when will Hecate receive the obligatory nerf? You know it is not exactly good practice to release something with better stats for people to build it and fly around only so it gets used more, and then dropping the hammer on it again.

Missiles: You forgot to adjust hitpoints of FoF missiles. They all still have 70 HP across the board. And you have not adjusted Defender missiles to fall in line with the changes either. Why am I not surprised? Your entire devblog about the missile things was weird anyway.

Ballistic Control Icon and new missile mod icons:
I appreciate how these icons are thematically in line with the old icons... but what does it actually represent? At least the old icon had a proper association to what it did. What is the intent of the new icon? I can't even see what it should depict. Is that some radar dish?

Skins and cosmetics in general:
So you are capable of seeding a skin for the Enyo, but not for the Incursus? Your skin schedule is super weird.
Also, why are you pounding out so many ship skins but ZERO Apparel? You have so many unseeded items there in the client which are also visible in the market which you just would need to seed. Why don't you do that? This is getting frustrating. Especially if you tease us with apparel through other media that is not even in the game to look at!

Drones and Ishtar:
When will you finally understand that the problems with the Ishtar is less because of the SHIP but more because of DRONES themselves? How about fixing bandwith for the Ishtar instead of anything else? A cruiser sized ship should not field a full set of large Drones or Sentries. Or how about finally splitting up Drone Control range to more reasonable numbers which are also based on size and limiting the amount of Drone Link Augmentors to 1 per ship like with other modules? The Ishtar is not the problem. Drones are. But hey, you have shown a lot lately how you only care for treating symptoms instead the roots of the problems.

This is getting sad, CCP :c
I'm terribly afraid of the final stage of the new sovereignty system and the future of Eve in general if you continue this road of half-baked products and short-sighted design choices.

You could try and ask Rixx Javix if he already received the high res imagery and updated his brackets cheat sheet.

Update: There you go, Rixx Javix just published an updated version: http://eveoganda.blogspot.de/2015/07/updated-rjs-icon-guide.html

Ryde Froyer of SCC created the orders: Tactical Destroyer in Metropolis. Role Playing Character (limited to 90 day market orders) but no actual "player" character.

Oh my god! I am so glad this change was made! You have no idea how long I've waited for this module to be re-balanced properly, and now that it has, I'm jumping for joy. I'm really glad the balance team worked on such an important module.

I am glad CCP gave some love to missiles. I am looking forward to try the new modules and take my drake for a spin...
