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 — 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 — 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 — Greetings Capsuleers, You might have seen the recent [news item](//www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=4794&tid=1) about the free implants coming to EVE this winter with Crucible. The first of these implants, the Genolution CA-1 is inbound very shortly. Everyone with an active paid account on Nov29th through Dec 2nd Dec 5th will get one to [redeem](//wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Redeeming) for their character. Pilots on trial accounts will not receive an implant, but are of course welcome to ...

Aug 28, 2021 — ## ...then this is for you! Christmas, CCP, You, and Our Thanks! Pilots of New Eden, It is that time of year again. The time of year when you curl up in front of the fire with a hot cup of coco... HAHAHA who am I kidding. It's that time of year when you all log into EVE to get away from your family so that you can actually enjoy your holidays! To help support you all through this difficult time of year we have a set of gifts for you. These gifts will be given out on December 13th, 20th, and 2...

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 — 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 — 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 — tl;dr This is a theory blog, there is no tl;dr. Sorry! **The top bit** So as you may or may not have heard, Team BFF are thinking about nullsec again, with an eye to making some improvements over the next year or so. In the past we've often started thinking about nullsec again because we were unhappy with our sovereignty mechanics (again), which leads into a nice self-contained area of work. This time our initial discussions were about resources and industry in nullsec, which are things that ...

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 — 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 — Hi all, I’m CCP Punkturis, (self-proclaimed) Duchess of Team BFF. Haven’t you all experienced the problem of being in the mood for running missions but not knowing where to find the next agent that hands out missions to your liking? Well I have! So instead of having to ask people in local to explain the agent system for you (some of the people there are not very helpful) or trying to figure this out yourself, wouldn’t it be great to have a simple agent finder? Well I think so! As you may have...

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 — 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 — **Background** During Fanfest 2011, CCP Fendahl and I attended the Planetary Interaction roundtable, and what was discussed there helped shape what we are about to share with you now. We hope it excites you as much as it excites us! One of the standout ideas that was mentioned during the roundtable was that players should own and operate the Planetary Customs Offices rather than some nebulous NPC entity. Guess what? That is exactly what we are doing! Behold the Player-owned Customs Office! **...

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 — **Greetings Pilots!** SciFiMagically, each year brings more pilots living, warring, trading and socializing in the EVE universe than the year before. “SciFiMagically” because, well, that’s not really happening in other MMOs. And later this year we’re adding some dudes on those planets around you—dudes that you will be able to shoot at. It’s like the biggest universe in gaming is going to get bigger without actually expanding? _[SciFiMagic](//youtu.be/GI53ydJaus8)_. Each year also adds more la...

Aug 28, 2021 — Hi everyone, I wrote my first devblog a few weeks ago and you were all so nice that I figured I should write another one... plus I actually have stuff to tell you about. I think we have all been webified or ewared in one way or another. To be honest, the whole thing is very confusing for a noob like me. I have lost a few ships because I had no idea that I was being warp scrambled and when I finally realized it and tried to find the attacker in the overview, it was too late. I'm sure some of yo...

Aug 28, 2021 — Greetings again Capsuleers, Crucible is here. It has new nebulae, new ships, scalable UI, lots of balancing lots of cool features and a plethora of tweaks and fixes. It’s been a long few months of getting back to the roots of EVE, and we hope this shows you, the players, our direction for the foreseeable future. We’re going to be evaluating new approaches over the next year to get new people to EVE, and we’re launching the first one right now this holiday season. Later today, you’ll find somet...
