Dev blogs and announcements
EVE Online’s Growing New Great War: the Battle of M-OEE8 - Feedback
In the night to March 29, 2016, we saw massive fleet formations clashing into each other in a massive fight for control over the IHub in M-OEE8, region "Tribute". More than 5000 players participated in this battle between defending forces from "The Imperium" and attacking alliances gathered together under the name "Moneybadger Coalition". After the destruction of a total 3800 ships on both sides worth more than 450 billion ISK during hours of intense battles, The Imperium retreated as the system control was lost to the attacking forces.

Winners of the EVE Online API Challenge - Feedback
The EVE Online API challenge invited third party developers to quickly create functional prototypes (or full fledged apps if time allowed) of innovative EVE apps based on information available via the CREST interface. We received an amazing amount of 42 entries! This is a strong testimonial of the fantastic third party development community. The results, as no one doubted, are brilliant and awe inspiring. While everyone wins, we have selected a few outstanding apps and authors as winners of this contest: Pathfinder, Time for EVE, EVE Fast Fitting Assessment, and EVE Online Contact Manager. Thank you!

Fanfest 2016
Fanfest broadcast will be available
With the fabulous Fanfest 2016 being just a few weeks away (April 21-23) we would like to confirm the Fanfest broadcast stream. While, of course, Fanfest and other player gatherings are best experienced in person, we will support people who cannot come to Fanfest with a brilliant and exciting show. Stay tuned for further info!


Issues and Workarounds
Server issues on March 27
On March the Tranquility server cluster experienced some issues. It turned out that the time zone setting "UTC Dublin, Edingburg, Lisbon, London" is not UTC at all, but GMT and thus summer time sensitive. This mismatch led to the server issues with downtime jobs getting executed run 1 hour prematurely resulting.


Test server and testing
Bug reports being closed? Don't worry!
If your bug report is getting closed, don't worry! When we get multiple reports of the same bug, then often all the reports are closed except one (which contains internal reference to the closed reports) which then will be processed further.

Progress with fighter management
The test server build of the fighter management continues to improve, with the ability to abandon fighters. It is also possible to recall fighters which are off-grid. Bookmarking fighters will not be possible. Your feedback based on the test server is an enormous help, thank you!

Do the closed bug reports indicate they're being closed as duplicates and reference the one left open? Otherwise, I'll worry!
