Aug 28, 2021 — CCP Zulu published a [dev blog](//www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=934) on Sunday, June 26 which talked about an upcoming summit with the [CSM](//wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Council_of_Stellar_Management) and CCP to "discuss the events of the past week, to help us define and address the real underlying concerns, and to assist us in defining and iterating on our virtual goods strategy.**"** During the last two days the CSM have discussed these issues with CCP Zulu (Senior Producer for EVE ...

Aug 28, 2021 — Hi! CCP Punkturis of BFF here with another feature coming in the Winter Expansion! Remember when we published the [font dev blog](//www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=2401)? You guys gave us a lot of good comments from that and the majority was about the font size. EVE's current UI has been designed based on a certain fixed font size.  For a UI to properly work with scalable fonts requires the design itself to take that into account from the start similar to how HTML works in webpages.  ...

Aug 28, 2021 — Killmails are great.  They serve as reminders of good fights (or dubious mistakes).  They let you measure losses inflicted on your enemy in cold hard ISK.  They also demonstrate some interesting choices in ship fitting, or cargo-movement attempts.  If you're so inclined, they provide a way to track your kill/death ratio, and measure it against your peers.  I especially like the ones where a pod gets squished.  But I’ve always felt that those pod-mails were missing a certain... something. **In t...

Aug 28, 2021 — Hybrid turrets have fallen out of grace. Maybe they weren't that amazing to begin with, but things have gotten somewhat worse in recent years. The speed change made it more difficult for blaster ships to get in close. The webifier change meant that blaster tracking suddenly wasn't good enough. The projectile boost made hybrids worse by comparison. Whatever it was that broke the camel's back, this is where we are now; Hybrid turrets do not compare favorably to the other turret systems. How we ...

Aug 28, 2021 — I am proud to announce that this winter, we are going to release some long-anticipated ship balancing. Specifically, capital ship balancing. For a long time, there has been an outcry in the community that fleet fights are stagnating and are just not as fun as they should be. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of pages of forum threads dedicated to this subject both on the [official EVE Online forums](//forums.eveonline.com), other EVE forums, as well as in blogs and articles. There is no shor...

Aug 28, 2021 — It’s been a tough week in many ways, but I wanted to share some updates on the crash reporting that we put in, and what we’ve learned and done about it: We’ve listened to the fact that some of you want to have the ability to turn crash reporting off – as such**, you should be able to run with /noBreakpadUpload as a startup argument for Eve starting from Tuesday’s patch to disable this.** Rolled into that patch – fixes for 3 or 4 of the top reported crashes that were easy and safe to make. **...

Aug 28, 2021 — I always find it fascinating how the most life threatening issues often come up from the smallest, most innocent moves. For instance, you could enjoy a meal at home, drop the dirty cutlery into the sink with the firm intention to clean it the day after, only to realize two weeks have passed and the kitchen is now inhabited by a new indigenous, hostile life-form derived from all the junk you forgot to wash during that time. The same shocking, and quite horrifying principles apply with ship balan...

Aug 28, 2021 — Patch notes For EVE Online: Odyssey 1.0.20 Released on Wednesday, August 21st 2013 ## CHANGES **Miscellaneous** * Optimization for the bug report system Patch notes For EVE Online: Odyssey 1.0.19 Released on Tuesday, August 13th 2013 ## CHANGES **Miscellaneous** * Updating the bug reporting tool in preparation for the launch of the new bug reporting system. Note that bug reporting is still disabled within the client. Further information about our bug reporting improvements can be ...

Aug 28, 2021 — As some of you might know we've been working on something called Corp Locations (formerly called corp bookmarks). The concept is quite simple really. Once Crucible is released, you will be able to share your bookmarks with your corp so anyone in the corp can see them and use them. Well, you're not exactly sharing them, what you are really doing is copying them and giving them to the corp. There is a little bit more to it than that though. To protect our server the corp bookmarks are cached so t...

Aug 28, 2021 — Dear space friends,  To date, the EVE Online third party development community was only permitted to sell its products for ISK. After careful consideration of the growing requests for change, we set out to establish a program that will allow these third party developers to charge a fee for their services, if they so choose, but in such a way that also lets CCP protect its intellectual property and protects the EVE Online community from potentially harmful applications.  An overview of our tent...

Aug 28, 2021 — Attention explorers!  I am CCP Affinity from Team BFF and we have many exciting features in store for you this winter.  CCP Bettik and CCP Big Dumb Object, formerly of Team Commie Pinkos, have joined the BFF ranks to form a multidisciplinary Flying in Space super team that's been making stuff for the Winter Expansion! * In an on-going commitment to iterate on existing content we've been filling the gaps for the DED complexes. We have added new DED complexes, rated at 3/10 and 4/10 in difficul...

Aug 28, 2021 — Hello! First of all we want to thank you for all your feedback and interest in the [Player Owned Customs Office](//www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=2899)! We have gone through the thread and thanks to the efforts of the community team as well as Team Pi members sitting up all night following the thread we believe we have a pretty good grasp on your feedback and your concerns (let us know if we don't). One thing that really stood out was your concern for the transition period when all...

Aug 28, 2021 — Following the [announcement](//www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=4769&tid=1) by CCP Manifest on Wednesday, October 19 concerning the goals of CCP and the downsizing of staff, it became clear to many players that the EVE Community team was one of those affected. The loss of our colleagues, friends and mentors has saddened us greatly and we wish them all the very best for the future. So what is happening with the Community team now? Will players see less communication from CCP on the develo...

Aug 28, 2021 — Hello! I am CCP Cascade, Associate Technical Producer working in the Core Technology Group. I have been given the role of Internet Herald to tell you about some of the projects the Core Infrastructure team, CCP Atropos, CCP Mandrake, CCP Sputnik, and CCP TopKnot have recently worked on. The team works on a lot of in-house tech that you don’t often get to see, but they also work on some pretty important stuff that you see every day, such as the installer, patcher and repair tool. You might know ...

Aug 28, 2021 — Hi! Here‘s a few more little things from Team BFF to make your life easier. We didn‘t have much time for doing this so we mostly just harvested good ideas from the forums and prioritized by how much work it would be to implement them (and things that I personally find annoying when playing EVE - heh). ## Filtering skills This was asked for a lot in the [comments](//forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=36240) thread for my last [devblog](//www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=3097)...

Aug 28, 2021 — Greetings fellow EVE enthusiasts, we are _Team Special Circumstances_ and the topic of today will be the _EVE Online Launche_r. ### **What? Launcher?** The EVE Online Launcher is a new little program that makes sure your EVE client is up to date and is always ready for flying into space. You might think that the Launcher is just supposed to launch EVE Online, but that's just one piece of the puzzle. Its primary function (not counting launching the game) is to update EVE Online on your computer...

Aug 28, 2021 — The four price indices of New Eden have been calculated for September 2011.  For more detail on the indices, please refer to the [Market Indices page on Evelopedia](//wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Market_Indices). Prices of PI made POS fuel rise by 15% from last month.  The index blog for August mentioned the negative correlation between the prices of PI made POS fuel and ice products.  Sure enough, this month sees ice product prices decline, but only by a meager 1.4%.  This is less than one would...

Aug 28, 2021 — My apologies for the length of this piece, as it is an art blog, which are usually long as we don't do many of them, and there's quite a bit I'd like to cover. Forewarned is fore-armed. ;) With this blog, I am proud to present our new turret system. ** Why turrets? Why not X, Y, or Z instead?** It has been nearly a year since we started this renovation, and we have accomplished much in that time. Even though there was a partial renovation of, at least, the look of the turrets during the Tri...

Aug 28, 2021 — You might or might not have noticed a thread a couple of weeks back where some rather tech-savvy EVE players managed to fiddle with a couple of files in the client, effectively enabling them to put their own video content onto the Captain’s Quarters main screen. Although we worship the sandbox and love it when you use our game to do things we could never have foreseen, we really don’t like it when people start fiddling with the EVE client files, mostly because it may get you into trouble the nex...
