May 22nd, 2012War Declaration:
· The war declaration system has been completely overhauled and now adds a new dynamic to how wars are won and lost. Full details are available in the Dev Blogs, 'Changes to War Mechanics' and 'War, Modules and Super Friends'.
· Wars are now declared by the CEO or a Director and not through the voting system.
· The war declaration cost is determined by corporation size and the amount of active wars the aggressor has currently. Previously it counted defender wars. Price starts at 50 million.
Several loopholes for evading wars have been closed:
· If you leave a corporation while the war is on, you cannot re-join until the war is over or 7 days have passed. This does not apply to mutual wars.
· War shedding is no longer possible. Corporations that are at war will continue to be so, regardless of joining or leaving alliances.
All wars are now public:
· You can view a report of all wars currently active and see how both sides are doing.
· Mercenaries can offer their assistance, at a price, to the defending corporation or alliance.
· Both parties can offer “surrender terms” and attach a price tag if you are a CEO or Director.
All wars will now have a war report:
· As mentioned this will be public and available to everyone.
· Contains all kills and losses in date order.
· Contains a headline showing the total amount of damage inflicted.
· A Graph is available so you can view wars by ship class.
· Defenders in wars can get help from other corporations or alliances.
· Defenders can flag themselves as seeking aid.
· As stated above, any corporation or alliance can send a formal offer to ally with the defender for a particular war.
· The ally counts as being in war against aggressor and is included in the war report on the defender’s side.
Kill mails will now be known as kill reports. More details on these changes are available in the Dev Blog, 'Spaceship Murder Notifications':
· Updated to have a nice look and feel.
· Visually displays the victims fittings with an option to save it.
· Shows the total amount of money lost by the other player.
· They can now be dragged into chat and mails.
Modules:
· Brand new modules and ammunition have been added to enhance player choice when fitting a ship. Further details of all new modules can be found in the Dev Blog, 'War, Modules and Super Friends'.
· The Reactive Armor Hardener : A low slot module that adjusts resists according to incoming damage. You can only fit one, but it lets you fight lazy!
· Extrinsic Damage Amplifier: A low slot, drone damage module which allows your drones do more damage, much in the same way that Gyrostabilizers or Heat Sinks work.
· Ancillary Shield Boosters: A mid slot active tanking shield module which lets you boost a lot of shield but at a massive need. Requires charges to operate and comes in small, medium large and X-Large.
· Target Spectrum Breaker: A mid slot module that has a chance of breaking the lock of ships that are targeting you. Downsides is that you have a reduced scan res and it breaks your lock when going off.
· Light and Medium Web Drones: Light and medium versions of the stasis webifying drones we already have.
· Cap Battery Changes: All capacitor batteries provide an inherent defense against Nosferatu and Energy Neutralizers. A portion drained is reflected back on the aggressor.
· Defender Missiles: Defender missiles have now been split into size categories light and heavy.
· Overclocking Processor Units: A rig that increases your CPU, but at the cost of shield recharge rate.

Character Creator and New Player Experience:
· The skin color options in the character creator and re-customization have been changed so the color of your skin is no longer constrained by the bloodline of your avatar. All bloodlines now have a broad range of distinct skin tones ranging from pale to dark.
· As skin tone can only be chosen when creating a new character or resculpting, all existing characters on TQ have been given one free resculpt.
· Bloodline hair-color restrictions have been lifted in the character creator and re-customization.

Factional Warfare:
· A substantial overhaul has been made to Factional Warfare and full details can be found in the Dev Blog, 'Factional Warfare Overhaul'.
Name Standardization:
· The metric which determined control over Factional Warfare systems, Occupancy, has been replaced with Sovereignty for clarity purposes.
· Factional Warfare Control Bunkers have been replaced by Infrastructure Hubs. This change mainly is cosmetic as no attribute has been altered except for signature radius, which has been increased to 4000.
· The World Map Control Panel filters for Factional Warfare have been reworked. The “Occupancy” tab has been removed, simplified filters are now available under the “Sovereignty > Factional Warfare” tab.
Factional Warfare Page:
The Factional Warfare page has been significantly improved to include the following:
· Information delivery has been clarified by splitting data over three tabs: “War Zone Control”, “Statistics” and “Rules of Engagement”
· War Zone Control display war information for Factions as a whole, lists gained bonuses, displays upgraded systems, shows a Star Map with contested and vulnerable areas. See “War Zone Control” paragraph below for more information.
· The Statistic page display personal, corporation and militia wide data regarding Factional Warfare performance.
· The Rules of Engagement tab explains basic mechanics of Factional Warfare regarding territorial contest, upgrade process, combat and reward mechanics as well as consequences for joining.
Station deny docking:
· All stations located in enemy Factional Warfare systems will now deny docking to the opposing militias. Neutrals are not affected by this change and can still dock anywhere they please.
· All stations located in enemy Factional Warfare systems will now deny service use to enemy pilots that managed to dock before Sovereignty switched hand. Neutrals are not affected.
Upgrading Solar systems:
· It is now possible to upgrade a solar system owned by your own faction by spending Factional Warfare Loyalty Points (LPs) into the respective Infrastructure Hub.
· Donating LPs is done in close proximity of the Infrastructure Hub (closer than 2500 meters) and is taken from the respective Factional Warfare Militia Corporations 24th Imperial Crusade, State Protectorate, Federal Defense Union and Tribal Liberation Force.
Upgrading a Factional Warfare system gives system-wide bonuses to the faction that owns it and neutrals:
· Level 1 requires 10,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 1 additional slot, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 10%, medical clone costs are reduced by 10%
· Level 2 requires 25,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 2 additional slots, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 20%, medical clone costs are reduced by 20%
· Level 3 requires 45,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 3 additional slots, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 30%, medical clone costs are reduced by 30%
· Level 4 requires 70,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 4 additional slots, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 40%, medical clone costs are reduced by 40%
· Level 5 requires 100,000 LPs: all stations in the system receive 5 additional slots, broker fees on contracts and market orders created in the system are reduced by 50%, medical clone costs are reduced by 50%
· After level 5 is a buffer that does not give any bonuses, but prevents the system losing upgrades directly when fully maxed. See “Capturing Payout” paragraph for more information.
· Additional station slots are only added if they exist before the upgrade. New slots are not created if the station didn’t have it in the first place. Example: a station that had copy and manufacturing slots before an upgrade will receive one additional slots in these two areas, but will not receive any ME or PE slots.
· It is not possible to gain an infinite amount of additional slots by repeatedly upgrading, then downgrading the system: additional lines being used will stay booked by their initial owner until the job expires. That means an opposing faction may have to wait for the previous job owner to relinquish his line before having access to it.
· Medical clone costs do not apply to Jump Clones.
· War Zone Control
Holding and upgrading Factional Warfare systems now have an impact in a faction success as a whole. Number of systems and upgrades hold in the same War Zone (Amarr/Minmatar or Caldari/Gallente War zones respectively) are counted as part of points, then used to unlock War Zone Control tiers:
· War Zone Control Tier 1 – between 0 and 20% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are multiplied by four next to their pre-Inferno numbers.
· War Zone Control Tier 2 – between 20% and 40% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are multiplied by two next to their pre-Inferno numbers, the faction receives 5% bonus to all Factional Warfare LP gains.
· War Zone Control Tier 3 – between 40% and 60% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are the same as pre-Inferno, the faction receives 10% bonus to all Factional Warfare LP gains.
· War Zone Control Tier 4 – between 60% and 80% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are twice as cheap as their pre-Inferno numbers, the faction receives 15% bonus to all Factional Warfare LP gains.
· War Zone Control Tier 5 – between 80% and 100% of total War Zone points: the faction LP store prices are four times as cheap as their pre-Inferno numbers, the faction receives 20% bonus to all Factional Warfare LP gains.
· War Zone Control bonuses are applied to all the respective faction members no matter where they are – neutrals and enemies are not affected.
· War Zone Control only affects ISK and LPs requirements on their respective faction LP store offers.
· War Zone Control only affects the respective Factional Warfare Militia Corporations (24th Imperial Crusade, State Protectorate, Federal Defense Union and Tribal Liberation Force). Other corporations are not affected by such a change.
Capturing payout:
Factional Warfare sites now give Loyalty Points when captured:
· Minor sites: 10,000 LPs
· Standard sites: 17,500 LPs
· Major sites: 25,000 LPs
· Major Stronghold or Major Compound sites: 30,000 LPs
· Infrastructure Hubs: 40,000 LPs
· All LP gains are split among all eligible members. Example: Two Amarr enlisted players capturing a Minmatar or Gallente Minor site would only receive 5,000 LPs for the 24th Imperial Crusade each.
· All LP gains are also split toward allied factions. Example: one Amarr and one Caldari enlisted players capturing the same Minmatar or Gallente Minor site would still receive 5,000 LPs each – for their 24th Imperial Crusade and State Protectorate corporations respectively.
· Cloaked or pilots in pods or shuttles will not receive any payout.
· Only attacking enemy sites will yield LPs – defending will not. Example: one Amarr enlisted pilot defending an Amarr site will not receive anything. The same Amarr pilot capturing a Minmatar site will be normally paid.
· Capturing LPs through Factional Warfare sites will cause the enemy Infrastructure Hub in the same solar system to lose half of the gained LP amount. Example: An Amarr enlisted pilot receiving 10,000 LPs for capturing a Minmatar Minor site in Amamake will cause the Infrastructure Hub there to lose 5,000 LPs, possibly causing it to lose an upgrade level.
· Factional Warfare sites now give 20 Victory Points instead of 100 – this was done to increase solar system capture time significantly and reduce likelihood for a Factional Warfare pilot to be stranded in a station that switched loyalty while he was away.
LPs for kills:
· Destroying enemy player ships will give LPs to the player giving the final blow.
· Exact formula is: [Given LP] = ([Market value of target ship] - [Max. Insurance market value] + [Fitted mods, rigs and subsystem market value] + [Transported items market value]) / 10000.
· Please note insurance is always counted at its maximum value no matter what the insurance value on the destroyed ship actually is to discourage farming.
· If the player giving the killing blow belongs to a fleet, LPs will be split to all friendly faction members in the grid. Example: a fleet of 2x Gallente Federation and 2x Minmatar Republic members destroy a target enlisted in the Caldari State worth 4000 LPs. No matter who had the killing blow, each Federation pilot will receive 1000 LP for the Federal Defense Union, while each Minmatar capsuleer will gain 1000 LP for the Tribal Liberation Force.
· Standing requirements
· Required faction standings to join Factional Warfare have been lowered from 0.5 to 0.0. Please note that players having negative standings will still be kicked out of their respective faction as usual.
· The Advanced Military Career Path tutorial has been adjusted in consequence – the final mission now gives the Rapid Firing skill book instead of a Letter of Recommendation.
Research agents and datacore changes:
Datacore offers have been added to Factional Warfare Militia Corporations (250 LP and 250,000 ISK for a package of 5):
· 24th Imperial Crusade: Amarrian Starship Engineering, High Energy Physics, Laser Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Nanite Engineering.

· Field multipliers for all research categories have been removed (this affects Research Point per day). Besides, all Research Points requirements to claim one Datacore have been increased from 50 to 100.
· Each datacore will now require 10,000 ISK to claim on top of the 100 Research Points
· Research Point amounts will not be adjusted in any shape or form with Inferno release.

· Clients viewing autolink items and solar systems will see the name translated into their client language if supported.
· The image in the "Show Info" window can now be dragged and dropped in chat to create a link to the type or item that is being viewed in the info window. Character portraits can also be dragged to Contacts to add the character as a contact, and item images can be dragged into the market quickbar to add the type to the quickbar.
· The "Jump To" right-click menu has been changed so it behaves like the "Bridge To" menu. That is, if there are more than 20 alliance beacons they will be divided into submenus with 20 beacons each.
CONCORD and Kill Reports:
· To avoid confusion, Capsules with a Global Criminal Countdown will no longer appear as a red target on your overview. This is reverting to pre-Escalation behaviour.
Miscellaneous:
· Detail texture map missing from the Nomad has been restored.
· If a player logs back in whilst his ship is still in space at a 1-million-km emergency-warp point, their ship will now be vulnerable to warp disruption bubbles at this location as it attempts to e-warp back to its original position.

· Users can create custom groups in the Neocom root by right-clicking on the EVE Menu ('E' Icon) at the top of the Neocom.
· Users and put any icon from the menu root, or the EVE Menu into the custom groups.
· At the top of the Neocom there is a new EVE Menu ('E' Icon) where all menu options can be found. The root of the Neocom acts as a shortcut bar and users can move icons around, delete them from the root and add new ones from the EVE menu. No matter what is done to the root, the EVE Menu always has all the options available to users through the Neocom. Users can only remove, add and reorganize icons in the root menu, the EVE Menu index is always the same. Users can drag icons from the EVE Menu to the root of the Neocom which will create a shortcut for it.
· All active windows will be displayed in the Neocom root even if they only exist in the EVE Menu when closed. The root acts as a shortcut and overview for all windows that are open. If more icons are displayed than can be shown at once they will be moved into a 'More' Menu that shows other icons in a sub menu when opened. Icons that point to menus that are currently open will always have a certain 'Open' state to indicate they are already open. If the user clicks an icon for a window that is already open it will put that window into the front if it was behind other windows, but if it is already in front it will minimize that window. Icons that show looping highlighting effect are asking for the users attention because of an update. For example if the user gets a new message through EVE Mail. This can be turned off in the Esc Menu.
World Shaping:
· The storage capacity on all Planetary Interaction storage pins has been increased from 5000m3 to 12000m3 so that it may better compete with the space port.
Modules:
· The application of bonuses that modify shield capacity have been modified in the following way: When the shield capacity is modified for any reason, the shield charge percentage will be maintained after the modification. This is primarily aimed at improving the experience of shield fleets when jumping. If your fleet booster’s bonus is applied whilst your ship is at 100% shields your shields will still be at 100% after the bonus is applied. When boarding a ship in space you will also benefit from this, so if it had full shields before you boarded it, it will have full shields once all skills have been applied. Capacitor charge will also be treated in the same way when capacitor capacity is modified.
· You can now shift click a module to overload it. The overload button will now show feedback from when you clicked it until it’s overloaded (and same for deactivating overload)
· The Black Eagle Drone Link Augmentor now correctly shows the meta level of 7 instead of 0.
· The Omnidirectional Tracking Link II now has higher skill requirements than its Tech I variant.
· We have added meta level 11, 12 and 13 Invulnerability Fields.
· We have made a slight decrease to the CPU requirements of all capital shield transfer modules.
· Triage module II now provides a 20% capacitor reduction to remote capital remote armor repair systems, capital remote hull repair systems, capital shield transporters and capital energy transfer arrays while in triage mode.

· All Kinetic missiles will now have the name ‘Trauma’.
· All Explosive missiles will now have the name ‘Nova’.

· Added automatic calendar entries for control towers indicating when they run out of fuel.
· Control tower fuel notification has been made optional.
Combat:
· Using assistance modules on a Factional Warfare buddy who is an outlaw or has a Global Criminal Flag will no longer result in a standings hit from your own faction
Agents & Missions:
· Agent entries now have information on if you have been offered a mission or accepted one from said agent.
Factional Warfare:
· We have made some changes to how Alliances can contribute and participate in Factional Warfare
· The executor corporation of an alliance may sign up for Factional Warfare in the usual way.
· When the standings check is done, standings are checked for ALL corporations in the alliance; if any of them do not meet the standings requirement, none of them are allowed to join at that time.
· If ANY corporations standing drops below the required threshold, then ALL corps in the alliance are sent a mail informing them which corporation has dropped below the requirement. If the issue is not fixed within 48 hours, ALL corporations in the alliance are removed from Factional Warfare as if they had violated the standings requirements themselves.
· The executor corporation may choose to quit Factional Warfare in the normal manner, in which case ALL corporations in the alliance are removed from FW as if they had quit themselves.
· Corporations may choose to leave the alliance at any time in the normal way, in which case they will also be removed from Factional Warfare as if they voluntarily quit.
· Corporations may choose to join the alliance in the normal way, but must meet the standings requirement for joining Factional Warfare to do so. They are joined to Factional Warfare as if they had chosen to join normally, but are thereafter subject to the rules listed.
· Corporations who are already signed up to Factional Warfare may join an alliance signed up to the same faction without first quitting.
Graphics:
· Collision for Customs offices has been reduced in size.
API:
· Added API calls:
* /char/Locations.xml.aspx
* /corp/Locations.xml.aspx
Both calls require a comma separated list of ids.
Cache Timer = 60 minutes, CachedUntil is not accurate as with any other bulk call.
These can ONLY be valid locationIDs (that is items which have meaningful location coordinates. (0, 0, 0) returned for items in hangars that could have valid coordinates) and must be owned by the character or corporation associated with the key. Any attempts at illegal input will result in a completely empty return. This is done to avoid any sort of scraping or giving out more information than is appropriate (f.e. validating that a given itemID is indeed a valid location but does not belong to the owner associated with the key). To differentiate this form of invalid input from other invalid input error code 135 will be thrown for this error.
Example call parameters: corp/Locations.xml.aspx?keyID=43&vCode=unnarCorp&ids=1000000013311,1000000013312
Returns a rowset of rows with the elements: itemID, itemName, x, y, z.
Example return rows:
row itemid="1000000013311" itemname="Cloning Service" x="-248865546240" y="-9446154240" z="192292823040">
row itemid="1000000013312" itemname="Repair Service" x="-248865546240" y="-9446154240" z="192292823040
· Created a new access mask called MemberTrackingExtended.
Renamed the access mask called MemberTracking to MemberTrackingLimited.
All current CAK keys which used to expose the now deprecated MemberTracking call (i.e. location, ship, roles and such info) have now been switched to Limited tracking. Anybody wishing to expose more information must update their key settings.
This makes the CAK version of the call compatible with the LEGACY version of the call, which would only supply the Extended version to Director keys (and all CAK keys are essentially director keys).
· Error messages for Kill Logs have been clarified to notify user that:
1) Error code 119: Kill Logs only go a month back.
2) Error code 120: The expected killID, that has been returned, should be supplied rather than whatever was supplied.
3) Error Code 118: Refresh kill log with no killID supplied for most recent kills.
4) Error Code 119 and 120: Reminder that each application should have their private kill log key.
The reason for 4) is that we do not cache the return set for various reason, only the position in the kill log. For legacy keys it is bound to userID (which is rather bad I'll admit) but for Custom Access Keys the return is bound to the keyID.
· CharacterID call will no longer potentially return a list of (name, ID) tuples including a name that was not included in the input parameters. Return will now always match to both input and return from CharacterName call return.
· As CharacterName stopped servicing typeNames recently (and nobody reported it) we've introduced /eve/typeName.xml.aspx which will accept up to 250 typeIDs (argument names ids as other ID->Name calls) and return their typeName.
· When passing in transactionIDs that the underlying transaction walker does not recognize, the code will do its best to approximate desired output and return that rather than just error. An ID will refresh the most recent transactions, too low will just use the oldest transactionID and a nonexistant one that fits between the preceding two ranges will approximate to the closest transactionID in the walker.
Furthermore, asking for the single most recent transactions, and then requesting the two most recent transaction on the same walker will now return the two most recent transactions rather than time out. Previously loading up a single record frontpage would demand that you pass in fromIDs to continue walking back in the transaction history.
User Interface:

November 30th, 2011Critical:
· Localization - As part of the migration of the Cerberus localization tool we have had to re-translate the entire UI, Notifications and Messages in-game. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, a small part of the UI, as well as content that has been developed by the feature teams for this release, will be in English for the German and Russian client on the initial launch date. Further details on the Cerberus project can be found in the blog Introducing Cerberus by CCP Shiny and CCP Ronin.
· UI - We will be monitoring the overview settings during extreme scenarios, such as a massive fleet engagement, to ensure that the overview will display properly in all cases. Should you notice any unusual behavior, we would appreciate if you could send a detailed bug report.
· Window settings on Tranquility have been reset as part of the changes to UI and UI scaling. We are sorry for the inconvenience that this will cause to saved windows.
·
Features:
· Worldshaping
· Stunning new visuals have been added to EVE Online. New nebulas throughout space will now provide players with a feeling of real immersion and allow for a better sense of scale and location in the universe. As a result of these new vistas, we have adjusted every stargate on Tranquility to align correctly to their destinations allowing for players to experience a graceful transition while piloting. Players should be aware that due to the alignment of stargates that instawarp locations, or locations created close to an object at a stargate may now cause bumping into that object. You can read full details about these changes in the blog Introducing new nebulae into EVE by CCP t0rfifrans.
· The system map background nebula has been replaced with a darker more sci-fi background.
· Star fields have been greatly enhanced to provide a more immersive feeling of being in space. Actual stars from neighboring solar systems will be displayed and the newly rotated stargates will aim at them, making them visible if they are close enough. Further details can be found in the blog Asking for directions by CCP Mannapi.
· New art assets have been created for the Oracle, Tornado, Naga and Talos. Our thanks go to Alexey M, dreamwa1ker (Pattern Clarc), David L and Michael S who submitted the original designs in the Deviant Art ‘Design a Starship’ competition. May your designs cause death, destruction and sweet, sweet tears for many years to come.
·
Time Dilation:
· In an effort to keep tremendously large fleet engagements fun, the universe will slow down time in order to keep up with the strain of simulating many hundreds of ships.
· Read more about the details and motivations in CCP Veritas’ devblog Introducing Time Dilation and watch him demo it in the Time Dilation Video Demo.
· Due to the dangerous nature of altering the fabric of spacetime in such ways, the feature will be turned on at a slightly later date. This is to provide isolation from other fundamental alterations to the machinations of the universe in order to reduce the chances of total protonic reversal.
·
Captains Quarters:
· New Captains Quarters have been added for the Amarr, Caldari and Gallente. Full details can be found in the blog Introducing racial Captains Quarters by CCP t0rfifrans
Added Captain’s Quarters functionality:
· You can now drag and drop your ship from my ships list anywhere on the CQ environment to activate that ship.
· The floating ship now has the same functionality as in the Ship Hangar view, you can double click to open cargo and right click to open contextual menu.
· Avatar camera and zoom have been refined.
· Station services window again shows the owner of the station.
The 'Load Station Environments' option in the ESC Menu has changed slightly:
· OFF: You can't enter Captains Quarter's and you have a static background image when in the Ship Hangar, hence unable to spin your ship.
· ON: You can spin your ship in the Ship Hangar and can freely switch between Captains Quarter's and the Ship Hangar. Note that if you do not go into the Captains Quarter's, nothing extra is loaded when in the ship hangar.
·
Ships:
· All Caldari State sub-capital ships have had their shaders updated to the V3 shader set.
· All Gallente State sub-capital ships have had their shaders updated to the V3 shader set.
· The Apocalypse and Impairor have had their shaders updated to the V3 shader set.
Four new battlecruisers, designed to inflict massive damage at the expense of survivability, have been released. Each of the four main factions has a new ship that will bring devastation everywhere it goes. The details of these new ships are as follows:
·
Caldari State:
· The Naga was designed in YC 109 by the Corporate Police Force as an anti-Guristas ship, sacrificing the usual robust Caldari Navy standards in favor of supporting battleship-class weaponry. It was rejected by Hyasyoda management for being overspecialized. The Naga design remained in the Hyasyoda archives, forgotten (save for a cameo in the Gallente holo-series CPF Blue). In YC 113 the Caldari Navy entertained contracts for a new tier of gunboat battlecruiser. Hyasyoda quickly submitted and won with the Naga, underbidding both Kaalakiota and Ishukone.
· Battlecruiser skill bonus per level
· 5% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret damage
· 10% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret optimal range
· Role bonus
· 95% reduction in the powergrid need of Large Hybrid Turrets
· 50% reduction in the CPU need of Large Hybrid Turrets
· 50% reduction in the capacitor need of Large Hybrid Turrets
Amarr Empire:
· In YC 113 Empress Jamyl Sarum I challenged Amarr ship manufacturers to build a new battlecruiser that would break the stalemate of the Empyrean War. Deviating from the doctrine of brute-force and heavy armor, the engineers at Viziam took inspiration from Caldari history. During the Gallente-Caldari War, the Caldari developed light, maneuverable ships to counter the slow ships of the Gallente Federation. This philosophy, along with a cutting-edge powertrain and ultra-light alloy armor plating, led to the Oracle. The Empire immediately ordered the ship into production. The Empress personally congratulated Viziam Chief Researcher Parud Vakirokiki, calling the ship ‘a work of Divine Grace for the Empire, and retribution to our enemies.’
Battlecruiser Skill bonus per level:
· 10% bonus to Large Energy Turret capacitor use.
· 5% bonus to Large Energy Turret damage
· Role bonus
· 95% reduction in the powergrid need of Large Energy Turrets
· 50% reduction in the CPU need of Large Energy Turrets
· 50% reduction in the capacitor need of Large Energy Turrets
·
Gallente Federation:
· The Talos began in YC 110 as a R&D concept by ORE. Conceived as a patrol craft for mining operations in lawless space, the Talos would have been abandoned completely were it not adopted by the Black Eagles, a black-ops branch of the Gallente government. The Black Eagles stripped the Talos of non-essential systems and bolted on battleship-class weapons, creating a quick-strike craft ideal for guerilla action. The Talos remained a military secret until YC 113, when it was introduced into wider circulation as a third tier battlecruiser. Today the Talos is manufactured by Duvolle Labs, who modified the original ORE designs to bring it in line with Gallente standards.
Battlecruiser Skill bonus per level:
· 5% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret damage
· 7.5% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret tracking speed
· Role bonus
· 95% reduction in the powergrid need of Large Hybrid Turrets
· 50% reduction in the CPU need of Large Hybrid Turrets
· 50% reduction in the capacitor need of Large Hybrid Turrets
·
Minmatar Republic:
· In YC 113 Republic Security Services learned the Amarr Empire was building a new battlecruiser capable of supporting battleship-class weapons. Determined to not lose their technological edge to their adversaries, Republic Fleet commissioned Boundless Creation to construct a gunboat to match. What they designed was the Tornado. Developed in record time and total secrecy, the Tornado is a testament to Minmatar engineering. Modeled loosely off of flying-wing designs of ancient planetary bombers, the Tornado supports multiple large projectile turrets, dealing massive damage while maintaining a small signature radius.
· Battlecruiser Skill bonus per level
· 5% bonus to Large Projectile Turret rate of fire
· 5% bonus to Large Projectile Turret falloff
· Role bonus
· 95% reduction in the powergrid need of Large Projectile Turrets

June 22nd, 2011CRITICAL:
Jump Bridges:
· It is now only possible for one jump bridge to be online in a system at any given time. If two jump bridges are online in the same system when the patch is deployed, one of them will be taken offline. If you try to anchor a jump bridge in a system that already has one jump bridge or more anchored, it will not anchor. No jump bridges will be unanchored by the patch. Players will be able to unanchor their jump bridges that are offlined by the patch.
· Jump bridges will have their storage capacity increased from 10,000m3 to 30,000m3. This is to aid with logistics.
Character Creation:

PVE:
· Six new generic missions have been added to bolster the mission selection of non-Empire factions.
CHANGES:
Technical and Engineering:

Turret Graphics:
· Tractor beams and salvagers now have their own turret models.

PVE:
· The number of jamming NPCs in over 75 Caldari and Gurista sites has been re-balanced. Please warp into danger to find out more.
· Over 100 deadspace and mission sites have been fixed so now they don't complete unless the required item has been successfully removed.

· Classic DED complex messages have been updated.
Core Infrastructure:
· The full offline installer will now be presented in the form of three files. Two 2 GB payloads (7 zip archives), and the installer executable file. This is because the total client payload has exceeded 4 GB, which is the limit for self extracting archives for Windows installs.

The framework natively supports a number of effects and animations for UI elements, and rendering interactable UI onto objects in the 3D scene. This gives the EVE UI designers and UI programmers a range of new possibilities for creating exciting user interfaces in EVE going forward.
· We have also unified the rendering coordinate systems in EVE, which makes it possible to render your captain’s quarters and avatar next to your glorious space ship in hangar.
· The patch size for this release will be approximately 550 MB but your overall client size will increase by 10 MB. This is due to the new Carbon UI files replacing older files. Do not be alarmed when your full client size does not increase.
May 20th, 2011CHANGES:
Blueprints:
· Unique icons have been created for Blueprint originals and Blueprint copies so you can visibly differentiate between them.
Need for Speed:

· We are adding support for an optional third name during the new character creation process. This is being done in order to expand the amount of available names in the EVE database and avoid having to purge older names. When you create a new character, you will put in your first two names in one box with a space between the names, and then use the second box for your third name.
· New Characters can have a selection of education options to choose from; this dictates their starting location.
· Current characters will have a grace period before having to commit to a new character avatar and portrait. During this grace period you can take your time before finalizing your new avatar and portrait to suit your tastes. NOTE: Once you accept your portrait design, you are committed to it!
Once this grace period is over all characters will be forced to create a new and updated character portrait and avatar during the login process. A final date for the end of this grace period will be announced. Stay tuned to the MOTD and news on www.eveonline.com for more information.

EXPLOIT FIXES:
· Several exploit issues have been fixed, making EVE a better world to live in for us all.
September 11th, 2009· Need for Speed - During Apocrypha 1.5 we identified and fixed several potential causes for client-server simulation desync. Additional work in this area for Apocrypha 1.5.1 revealed the root cause of the remaining desync issues. We believe that we have now fully eliminated desync issues as related to the physics simulation. More on this in an upcoming Dev Blog.
· Weapons & Ammunition - It is now possible to shoot objects that are 0 meters away with turrets, and hit them (this is still subject to tracking.)
· Modules - The Medium Targeting System Subcontroller II Blueprint can now be invented.
· Market & Contracts - The market deviation filters have now been fixed ensuring that the average price of an item is now calculated correctly at all times. When each scroll is loaded, the average price of the outstanding orders is calculated and that is used to filter out orders that are outside the range you specify. Previously the same average price was used for the sell orders and buy orders but this has now been changed so now there is one average price for the sell orders (average price of the outstanding sell orders in the region) and another one for the buy orders.
· Agents & Missions - Epic arc agent conversation windows would sometimes be blank when opened and in some cases those same players experienced problems when trying to dock/undock. This has now been fixed.
· NPC's - The description tab of all NPC corporations will display the correct corporation information.
· Miscellaneous - A server side issue has now been fixed that could cause node deaths if system administrators pressed certain buttons.
· Exploits - Several exploit issues have been fixed, making EVE a better world to live in for us all.
August 20th, 2009FEATURES:
· Ships
Black Ops ships now have a dedicated fuel bay that can be used to store fuel for their covert cynosural generators and jump drives. The bay can only hold ice; if you have fuel in both the fuel bay and the cargo hold it will be consumed from the fuel bay first.Carriers, Dreadnoughts, Motherships, Titans, Jump Freighters and the Rorqual now have special fuel bays accessible via the context menu of the ship. The fuel bays accept ice products such as isotopes or strontium. Jumping, or modules which use ice products such as siege modules, can be activated with fuel in this hold. Carriers, dreadnoughts, titans, and motherships class ships base cargo capacity is being lowered because of this change. The affected ships are:
· Motherships: Nyx, Hel, Wyvern, Aeon
· Carriers: Archon, Chimera, Thanatos, Nidhoggur
· Dreadnoughts: Revelation, Phoenix, Moros, Naglfar
· Titans: Leviathan, Erebus, Ragnarok, Avatar
· Capital: Rorqual, Orca
· Black Ops: Redeemer, Widow, Sin, Panther
· Jump Freighters: Ark, Rhea, Anshar, Nomad The Orca and Rorqual now have a dedicated bay for storing ore. This bay can only contain unrefined and compressed ore.
· Rigs
· All rigs and their blueprints now come in three sizes: small, medium and large. There are no changes in the rig bonuses, drawbacks or calibration requirements, only in the quantity of materials required to build them. Full details can be found at My Rifter is equipped with the following rigs…
· Agents & Missions
Four new Epic Mission Arcs have been added, one for each of the four main Empire factions. These arcs will be of Level 4 mission difficulty and will be deeply rooted in the lore of New Eden. Here is a list of the agents giving out the first mission of the arcs:
· Caldari: Aursa Kunivuri
· Gallente: Roineron Aviviere
· Amarr: Karde Romu
· Minmatar: Arsten TakaloPlayers will not get a standing hit when they decline more than one Factional Warfare mission within a four hour interval, when they fail an accepted FW mission or when they let an accepted Factional Warfare mission expire.
· Factional Warfare
· Killing player ships belonging to enemy militia now grants loyalty points for your own Factional Warfare militia. Please note: this only works for killing your militia direct opponent; a pilot in the Federal Defence Union will only receive loyalty points for destroying State Protectorate ships, not 24th Imperial Crusade assets. Please refer to this Dev Blog for more details.In an effort to increase Factional Warfare rewards, all four Militias LP stores now have discounts on navy ship offers while proposing unique faction items to their pilots. Please refer to this Dev Blog for more details.
CHANGES:
· Need for Speed
· When multiple players attacked another set of players in Empire space a notification about the aggression would be sent to everyone in the vicinity for each aggression. This contributed to what has been dubbed ‘Factional Warfare lag’. This has been fixed and should have a significant impact on reducing lag within Factional Warfare fleet fights.If ships were involved in deep collisions, where they intersected each other by a great amount sometimes desync between the server and client state would result. This has been reduced significantly. We will continue to work in this area in future patches.The efficiency when making any call to the Science & Industry system has been increased substantially, resulting in a much smoother performance and increased performance on the cluster.There is now less data in the offices and headquarters tabs in stations. Only the logo and the corporation name are displayed. Previously, the logo, corp name, URL, CEO and description were displayed. This has been done primarily for cluster performance reasons.The Directional Scanner can now only be activated once every 2 seconds. This has been done due to performance concerns and exploits.The market UI has now been streamlined in order to reduce calls to the server when looking up the average price of an item.Several other enhancements have been made to the cluster which will further increase performance.
· Tech III
· The drop rate and quantity of the Neurovisual Input Matrix has been increased in Sleeper wrecks.
· Scanning & Probes
· Updated probe range sphere graphics using a cleaner, more translucent pattern which remains visible at small scale. Moved away from green tint to blue.Added controlled delays to UI updates when state changes occurred in relation to probe scanning and/or probe control interaction. This allows refresh requests to be grouped, preventing multiple state changes in a very short time span which was spamming the client UI, causing multiple refreshes to graphics and severe performance hits.Removed helper axis-aligned grid lines that appeared when grabbing the scanner probe controls. This has notable performance benefits.Added thin blue circles that highlight where probe ranges intersect, giving a clear dynamic visual indication of overlap. Intersection lines fade out partially when probes are not moving.Added logarithmically-scaled range indicators inside a moving scanner probe control range sphere with a simple axis-aligned crosshair. The range indicators are only visible when grabbing the cube sides of the probe control which are aligned the same way. The range of the rings is always half the last ring starting from the probe range.Scanning with multiple probes would give just a single result dot when all probes got a hit rather than multiple dots. This has been fixed.Warpable results can now be bookmarked from the context menu.Warpable results can now be ignored from the context menu.
· Graphics
· New graphics have been added for the capsule, warp tunnel effect, mining and ice mining graphic as well as energy vampire and warp scrambler effects.
· Miscellaneous
· The shield and armor hit points for control bunkers in Factional Warfare have been increased by 50%.
FIXES:
· Ships
· The correct scan resolution will now be displayed on all Black Ops Battleships.Ammunition bonuses will now display correctly when ejecting and re-boarding a ship in space. Previously, bonuses would display incorrectly until the turret or missile bays were unloaded and reloaded. This was a display issue only.
· Modules
· The Civilian Damage Control module will now correctly display a 30% resistance to thermal damage on a ship’s hull.A bug was introduced in Apocrypha 1.3 where the passive bonus of active hardeners was applied when the module was active. This has been fixed, and the passive bonus will no longer apply when armor or shield hardeners are active.
· Tech III
· Malfunctioning Thruster sections will now correctly produce 10 run propulsion subsystem BPC's.The spawn container “Broken Sleeper Database” will no longer provide Minmatar Starship Engineering datacores and will now provide the correct propulsion subsystem datacore. No one wanted rusty datacores anyway.An issue regarding skill loss when a Tech III ship is destroyed has been fixed.
· Rigs
· The description of the Core Defence Capacitor Safeguard II has been fixed and will now correctly state that it affects "... modules which require the Shield Operations skill."
· Starbases, Outposts & Stations
· The “Equipment Assembly Array” model will now display correctly when anchored.
· Boosters & Implants
· Crash Boosters will now have an effect on all types of missiles, both guided and unguided, resulting in a decreased factor of signature radius for all missile types.
· Agents & Missions
· The mission “Royal Jelly” has had the proximity range to the habitation module fixed so that the mission can be completed successfully.The objective for the Epic Mission Arc “Data Retrieval” no longer requires you to destroy the Angel Forward Scout. You can simply collect the objective and return to your agent.The mission “The Navy Armada” will now display the Spaceshuttle wreck correctly.The name of the Level 2 mission “Seek and Destroy” now displays properlyThe Agent dialogue for “Cash Flow for Capsuleers (9 of 10)” has now been corrected and will no longer mention the perpetual motion device or any reference to the Guristas.The final mission on the Amarr branch of “Right to Rule” will now have the dungeon area location spread out to cover multiple systems. This prevents massive lag build up when multiple mission arcs are being done in one locationThe mission objective for the Epic Missions “Wildfire” and “Intaki Chase” will now appear correctly in the agent conversation and mission details window.The mission objective for “The Voting Trail (3 of 3)” will now show as complete when the Vengeful Officer has been destroyed.The mission “Their loss, our profit” will now have cargo containers spawn in the area in which an object was destroyed. Previously, the loot can would spawn beside the player’s ship, causing confusion.Mission descriptions for the Epic Mission Arc will now display correctly in the right-hand pane of the mission window as intended.A typographical error has been corrected in the mission briefing of “Seek and Destroy.”
· Exploration & Deadspace
· The Guristas Troop Revigoration Camp will now display the link to the Guristas information rather than the Gallente Federation.All Angel cartel ships have been removed from the exploration site “Regional Blood Raider Data Mining Site.” All NPC's spawned will be Blood Raider vessels only.The Exploration site “Serpentis Annex’ now requires a Serpentis Gold Tag to activate the gate to the second stage.
· Graphics
· Fixed minor graphic glitches on Level Of Detail of wrecks.The Gallente, Amarr and Serpentis control towers have had a graphical makeover and will now display the correct model, shade and textures. In addition, warping in and out to the tower when modules are being anchored will now display the model correctly.
· Sound & Audio
· The sound issues experienced when the map was open have now been fixed and no further audio glitches will be heard.Sounds from the scanner, docking and in station ambient noise, warping and jumping through stargates have all been fixed and will now be heard correctly.F.O.F. Missiles will no longer persist in creating a sound effect when the target has been destroyed or when the missile bay has deactivated. Previously the launcher was just so happy to be firing that it would keep making noise until there was a session change.
· User Interface
· Sorting items in the hangar will now display items of the same type (i.e. containers) correctly. Previously, the display would change order after sorting by name, then sorting by type, and sorting by name again.
· Localized Clients
· A grammatical error has been corrected in the Science & Industry window for “Accept Quote” in the Russian client.The descriptions of the Snake, Crystal and Slave implant sets have been corrected in the Russian client.A grammatical error has been corrected in the market buy window in the Russian client.The market quickbar will now display all tabs correctly in the Russian clientThe assets list window has now been translated correctly in the Russian client.Multiple skill group names have been translated correctly in the Russian client.Several ship attribute have been translated correctly in the Russian client. The changes include “Drone Capacity,” “Capacitor,” “Max targeting Range” and “Warp Speed.”The skill queue option “Train after current queue” has been translated correctly in the German client.
· Miscellaneous
· Player transfers to the Jovian system RU-97T will no longer cause players to become stuck. This will be welcome news for pilots participating in Alliance Tournament VII.Fixed problems with the Optional Client Update system
June 30th, 2009FEATURES:
· Need for Speed - The inventory service, which keeps track of the ownership and location of everything in the game, has been changed to use the new database service backend to connect and communicate with the Tranquility database. This will yield noticably less network I/O and memory usage than the previous system. The performance of most inventory related operations will improve, but there may be cases where performance will degrade. We fully expect a good performance gain on the whole though. The in-memory inventory storage has had a new index added which will address "The Jita Problem“ where performance has been degrading over time as more items are primed in local storage. Maintaining an extra index induces some overhead, but frees the server from having to search through very large sets in highly populated systems. Degredation of searches over time is now a function of the player population at a given location and not a function of the number of items in a location as before.
CHANGES:
· Tech 3
· Several changes have been made to fix the cost of Tech 3 production: the volume of some gases required will be halved; the drop rate of the Neurovisual Input Matrix salvage item has been increased; and the material requirement for the power conduits has been switched from carbon-86 to Scandium Metallofullerene.
· Reverse Engineering will see several improvements. We are increasing the drop rate of Tech 3 datacores, increasing the runs on the blueprints from reverse engineering jobs and increasing the presence of radar sites in wormhole space.
· Modules
· The Omnidirectional Tracking Link I has had its description changed and will now correctly state that it "Improves optimal range and tracking on all drones."
· Strip miners, ice harvesters, doomsdays, triage module, siege modules and other modules which previously used a CPU bonus on the ship to allow you to fit a special module now use a new “Can be Fitted To” attribute and no longer need the high base CPU to restrict the fitting of the module. The CPU on each of these types of modules has been adjusted to no longer require a 10,000 CPU base as a result of employing this new method.
· Weapons & Ammunition
· The siege module explosion velocity penalty for Citadel Torpedoes has been changed from -92.5% to -60%.
· Drones
· The drop rates for faction drone blueprints have been increased substantially. In addition, we have increased the material quantities needed in many containers for the parts required to make meta drones. The materials required to make faction drones and rogue drone component material volume have both been decreased.
· Skills
· The pre-requisite skills for Capital Shield Operation have been changed. The new requirements for the training of this skill will be Shield Management V, Shield Operation V and Engineering V.
· Markets & Contracts
· Freeform contracts can no longer be created. This is due to griefing problems. You will still be able to view your completed freeform contracts for now but in an upcoming expansion older freeform contracts will be removed as well.
· Starbases, Outposts and Stations
· Multiple changes have been made to the anchoring and onlining of starbase modules and structures. All offensive starbase structure anchoring times have been reduced by 50% and all offensive starbase structure online times have also been reduced by 50%. Defensive starbase structures such as hardeners will have their anchoring, online and un-anchor times reduced by 50%. Finally, all starbase tower un-anchoring times have been reduced by 50%.
· Miscellaneous
· The Basic Drone Control certificate will now require the skill Drones to be trained to Level 4.
· FIXES
· Modules
· All five variations of the Gas Harvester module have had the "Crystals Damage" attribute removed under Show Info. Since these modules do not use crystals, the attribute was redundant.
· Mousing over a module on the fitting screen will now always display the correct CPU and powergrid requirements when the target ship has a specific bonus to fitting. For example, hovering the mouse over a Covert Ops Cloaking Device II while in the fitting screen of a Covert Ops ship will display the proper CPU requirements. If you have Covert Ops trained to level V then it will display the CPU required as “0” rather than “10,000.”
· Tech 3
· The Offensive Covert Reconfiguration System has had its description fixed and will no longer say that you can fit a Covert Cynosural Field Generator.
· The reverse engineering of the Intact Power Core ancient relic was incorrectly generating Electronics subsystem class BPC’s. This has now been rectified and the correct Engineering subsystem blueprints will be created as intended.
· Agents & Missions
· A redundant empty room has been removed from the mission “Cash Flow for Capsuleers (4 of 10).”
· The mission “Cash Flow for Capsuleers (8 of 10)” has had the “objective completed” location fixed. Players will now be required to approach the destination as per the agent’s instruction. Previously, this mission would be marked as complete as soon as players warped into deadspace area.
· “Balancing the Books (3 of 10)” will now have the correct NPC, depending upon the faction you are running the mission for. Amarr variations will have a Blood Raider pirate, Caldari will have a Guristas pirate, Gallente will have a Serpentis pirate and Minmatar will have an Angel pirate.
· The NPC’s in the mission “Vitoc Vector - A Terrible Thing (4 of 4)” have been rebalanced. The overall number of enemies has been reduced but their difficulty has been increased.
· The missions “Delving into The Past (1 & 2 of 3)” now have their completion triggers fixed. The mission journal will now blink correctly when the mission objective has been looted from the container.
· The orbit range of the two rogue drones in the mission “Making Mountains out of Molehills (4 of 10)” has been reduced from 50 km to 5000 meters.
· The storyline mission dialogue for "The Numon Claim - Imperial Intervention (3 of 5)" will now correctly refer to the Amarrian Empress rather than Amarrian Emperor. Jamyl Sarum thought it more prudent to ask the agents to update their information rather than go through an unnecessary sex change.
· The mission “Drone Distribution” has had the name of some structures changed. In addition, players can also use a microwarpdrive in the mission area.
· Structures have been moved around in the deadspace areas for the missions “Angel Extravaganza” level 3, “Silence the Informant” level 3 and “Spies R Us (Serpentis version)” level 4.
· The mission “Spies R Us (Blood Raider version)” level 3 has had a missing trigger added. Additionally, the number of destroyers in this mission has been reduced.
· Grammatical errors have been fixed in the mission description for “Seek and Destroy.”
· A typographical error has been fixed in the pop up warning for the COSMOS mission "Contested Amarr Bastion of Blood."
· A grammatical error has been corrected in the name of the fighter group in the mission “The Big Sting (3 of 3).”
· A grammatical error has been corrected in the mission objective for “Lost Records.”
· Exploration & Deadspace
· The exploration site "Blood Raider Naval Shipyard" will no longer throw an exception error in the final room.
· Science & Industry
· The Reprocessing window will now refine large stacks of items much more quickly. The window has been adjusted to display a message that reprocessing is in progress and the speed has been increased up to 25 times faster.
· Markets & Contracts
· Many blueprints for COSMOS items have been added to the contracts database and can now be contracted normally.
· The Amarr Navy Heavy Capacitor Booster Blueprint is now published and can be searched in contracts.

Localized Clients:
· Several grammatical errors have been corrected in the Show Info window for all ships in the Russian client
· Several words which were displayed in English have been corrected in the German and Russian clients concerning player-owned structures.
POST PATCH CHANGES:
· These fixes were added as Apocrypha 1.3.1 which was deployed during downtiime on 30, June, 2009.
· Modules
· Fixed an issue that causes focus scripts to not work correctly.
· Starbases, Outposts and Stations
· Fixed an issue that was causing only one starbase gun to be controllable at a time.

World Shaping:
· Certain rare conditions could cause wormholes to spread unevenly, resulting in more wormholes than intended in some systems and less than intended in others. This has now been fixed and wormholes will be distributed much more evenly.
Need for Speed:
· The jukebox and audio services have had unnecessary register notify messages removed. This fix means that unnecessary functions will no longer be called upon.
· The number of gas and ore sites in wormhole space has been reduced to remove unnecessary results in the scanner. The new system will have more concentrated gas and bigger asteroids in the remaining sites to compensate.
Ships:
· The description of the Skiff has been corrected and will now state that "20% reduced chance of Mercoxit gas cloud forming per level ". A typographical error has also been corrected in the description.

· Sorting probes by ID number will now correctly list them from 1-10 or 10-1 depending on setting.
· Any probes that are active but do not expire during a scan process will become stuck in a moving state and cannot be interacted with until they expire. Newly launched probes can now be used to scan correctly without displaying a warning notice that active probes are still in use.
· FOF missiles can now attack further than 80km. The maximum range will depend on the pilot’s ship, skills and rigs.
Drones:
· Curator I and II drones have been fixed and will now attack starbase towers as intended.
· Drone AI has been improved. When a single drone is attacked and is part of a group set to aggressive and focus fire, the rest of the drones in that group will aggress instead of sitting idle.
· Drones will now attack only the target assigned to them. In other words, drones will not just wander of and attack whatever they want. They will follow your wishes to the letter.
Skills:
· The description of the "Trade" skill has been amended to reflect that it affects both buy and sell orders.
· A change has been made to the client and server skill point gain calculations for rookie pilots below the 1.6 million skill point threshold. Skill point increase per minute is now based on the total skill points you will have after completing the skill, instead of your total skill points. This effectively means that skill point gain will be calculated properly when crossing a bonus boundary. This means that adding a skill, which has 756,000 skill points when you are on the threshold (i.e. 1,590.000), will not benefit from the double skill training bonus and will be trained at normal speed.
· Untrained skills can now be added to the skill queue by using the "Train after current queue" from the skill book context menu. It should be noted that all pre-requisites must be trained for any skill book being added by this method.
· The skill queue will now properly award skill points when accounts are disabled with active skills in the queue. For example, if you had a total of 15 days of skills queued (1 x 18 hour and 1 x 14 days and 6 hours) and your account became inactive after day 8, the skill queue will not automatically train skills to completion and will stop as intended after the three day grace period.
· Training two different characters on the same account via the skill queue has been fixed. When a queue expires on character A, you can now log character B in and set up a queue without receiving the warning "another character on this account is training a skill". It should be noted that this does not mean that dual account training is possible.
· If you are podded in a clone which has slightly more than 1.6 million skill points, or that will bring you below 1.6 million skill points, you will now automatically revert to the double skill training bonus. In addition, if you are podded and lose implants the client will now adjust skill training time in line with your new attributes making skill training slightly longer. If you lost a rank of a learning skill due to being podded, the client will also take that into consideration and the new attribute level will instantly be applied making training of skills slightly longer.
· The "Open group Window" has been removed from the right click context menu in the skill queue as this resulted in being unable to add skills to the skill queue.
· Any skill that takes a player over the 1.6 million threshold will display training time correctly in the character sheet or skill list without the double training bonus. If a skill in an applied queue takes you over the bonus boundary, training times will be recalculated for any skills later in the queue.
· "Save changes" is now changed to "Apply changes" informing the player that the changes in the Skill training queue will be applied if he clicks on "Yes".
· Skills with at least 1 skill point will now display when choosing the option "Highlight partially trained skills."
· The pre-requisite of Anchoring I has been removed from the station containers, warehouses and vaults. These items cannot be removed from a station making the skill requirement unnecessary.
· The skills Connections and Diplomacy now work as follows. If your standing to a corporation, which is friendly with CONCORD, is below zero then you need to use Diplomacy to raise standings. In the case that your standings are positive to a corporation, which is friendly with CONCORD, you can use Connections to improve those standings. Criminal Connections will only raise standings with corporations who are not friendly to CONCORD. Training Diplomacy, Connections or Criminal Connections when your standing is exactly zero with a corporation will have no effect.
Player Owned Structures, Outposts and Stations:
· Control towers will now display correctly when anchored and no exception error will be generated in the logserver.
· The Amarr outpost has been fixed and the upgrade 1 and upgrade 2 improvements will now give the correct number of manufacturing lines and appropriate reduction in time for tech I ship production.This will be added in a future hotfix.
· The anchoring restriction for player owned structures has been changed from "restricted security level" to "restricted to security level less than" in order to better describe the attribute effect.
Character Creation and New Player Experience:
· The tutorial will no longer require players to have the fitting screen open on page three for the tutorial "Open the drone bay". Players will simply need to right click on the ship and choose the option from the context menu.
· The text in the tutorial for "Armor Tanking" has been changed to read "Make sure you have your Small Armor Repairer I fitted before continuing. You will need to have trained the skill Repair Systems before you can fit it though. This skill was given to you in the Crash Course."

· Removing a mission from your journal when the agent dialogue window is open will now result in the window being closed and the mission removed.
· The tutorial for Exploration has been changed to include more up to date and useful information regarding scanning mechanics.
· Goodies given out during the crash course tutorial will now work correctly in all cases. This means that in the case of a reset a player will not need to wait for the next downtime before items are given out.
· The tutorials have been fixed to prevent issuing multiple items. For example, My first days->Crash Course->Skill Training Queue section->page 11 of 13 gives the "Afterburner" skill book as does the Military-> Afterburner-> page 2 of 2 tutorial. In future only one item will be awarded irrespective of what other tutorials or missions offer the same reward.

· An exception error will no longer be generated when attempting to load ammunition via drag and drop when selecting two separate ammo groups via ctrl + left click.
· When dragging ammo from grouped weapons into a station container the ammo will no longer automatically become locked. Instead it will behave depending on the settings of the container.
· The text displayed in the "Show Compositions" window has been changed to read "NPC standings towards a player corporation are calculated from the average of all members' individual standings.

March 17th, 2009CRITICAL:
· Our Classic client has been retired to make way for Premium Lite, bringing higher quality graphics to users with lower end PCs. With Apocrypha we discontinue support for ShaderModel 1, making ShaderModel 2 the minimum requirement (GeForce FX (5 series) or ATi R300 series cards or compatible) and discontinue the "Classic client" version of EVE, replacing it with "Premium Lite." CCP Zulupark provides full details in his blog The results are in; EVE and ShaderModel support.
· A brand new Ramsan 500 has been added to our database server which allows us to have much faster storage. This means that we will see a number of improvements in the future that will shorten daily downtimes, result in faster expansion deployments, and reduce database lag. How MOZO is that!? CCP Mindstar provides much more in depth techno talk in his blog Apocrypharrrrrdware!
· Existing scan probe launchers, probes and blueprints will automatically convert to the new variety. For people with existing launchers/probes/BPs: all existing launchers become Expanded launchers of the right type, all exploration probes (including multispecs) become Core probes, all ship probes become Combat probes, all observators become Deep Space probes. Sisters versions remain sisters versions. BPs are changed in the same way.
WORLD SHAPING:
· Appearing randomly throughout New Eden, gateways to the unknown will open up access to thousands of new solar systems, new Tech 3 technology, new resources and deadly new enemies, The Sleepers, who have awakened to defend their space with deadly force. With new scanning mechanics you will eventually find these new areas of space which are rich in resources but are heavily guarded. CCP Whisper explains more in his blog Building a new bridge to the stars.
· Wormholes will bring a whole new level of adventure and exploration for every pilot who dares to probe out an entrance to the unknown. CCP Abathur, in his blog, The darkness at the end of the tunnel tells us about the laws of Wormhole space, the use of starbases, mass effects and tactical environments.
Ships:
· Custom build your next ship! New technology found in Wormhole Space allows players to research, manufacture and fly the next generation of cruisers. Thousands of combinations are possible due to the modular subsystem design Tech 3 brings to ship creation. Flying a Tech 3 Strategic Cruiser is also easier skill-wise than that of Tech 2 ships. Each ship you create can be used to provide more firepower, better defences and many more variations. CCP Nozh tells us more in his blog Strategic Cruisers: a new breed.
Modules:
· Tech II versions of the Codebreaker, Analyzer and Salvager mini-profession modules have been introduced.
· Tech II Gas Cloud Harvesters have been introduced.
Skills:
· Players can now schedule automatic training of multiple skills. The new interface offers filters, a graphical display of the total queue and the ability to pause or resume the queue at any point in its progress. The skill training system allows you to queue skills that will start training over a 24-hour period. You can enter in up to 50 skills in a queue, as long as they all start training within 24 hours. CCP Eris Discordia tells us why More Queue Queue is the way of the future.
· Character attribute distribution can now be rearranged in order to diversify or specialize skill training. This means that you can now reallocate attribute points once per year. CCP Flatboy tells us how neural remapping works in his blog A Virgin Mind.
Player Owned Structures, Outposts and Stations:

· The Hybrid Polymer Silo is now available on the market and is capable of storing hybrid polymers.
Character Creation and New Player Experience:
· Rebuilt from the ground up, the new player tutorial reveals the many career paths a player can embark on while arming them with the knowledge and gear necessary to start carving their niche in New Eden. The character creation windows are now simpler and easier to follow, attributes can now be re-arranged once per year and new player missions have been revamped to educate players on industry, business and military occupations. CCP Fear provides more details in his blog Your Revamped Rookie - Part 1.
NPC's:
· The Sleepers lay in waiting beyond the wormholes, guarding resources and technologies considered to be of significant power and value back in known space. They will not give up their treasures easily as they are masters of teamwork and manoeuvring. Expect an enemy that works as a team, identifies your weaknesses and protects its own. Full details of the new NPC’s can be found in the blog by CCP Ytterbium When evolution leaps forward.
· New AI will be applied to the Sleeper NPC’s which allows them to prioritize and change targets at will. This makes PvE combat feel more like PvP. These NPC’s will now repair each other, change targets based on offensive capabilities, logistics or ECM threat. CCP Incognito provides much more detail in his blog How the AI pew pews the player.
· Pirate factions have switched to tougher ships in low security space to prey upon unsuspecting Capsuleers. Low security space will now see battleships appear in the asteroid fields.
Agents & Missions:
· Spanning multiple regions of space, new epic mission arcs will take players on a journey through all four empires beginning with character creation. As the story progresses and the rewards grow more enticing, pilots will be faced with the decision of which side to fight for in the final battle. CCP Molock tells us more in his blog Should you choose to accept it.
Exploration & Deadspace:
· Scanning in New Eden has been completely revamped in order for Capsuleers to probe out Wormholes and explore the vast riches in Wormhole Space. Modules, skills and implants have all been changed to allow for the new scanning methodology. CCP Greyscale explains all of these changes in his illustrated blog New Blog: Sick in the back of an Astra: A travel blog.
· We have doubled the number of exploration sites in known space. Every aspect of exploration has received a boost including Booster manufacturing, hacking, archaeology and combat exploration sites. CCP Dropbear tells us more in his blog Getting High on Your Own Supply
Science & Industry:
· Pillage wrecks of ancient Sleeper ships and salvage relics of ancient technology! New Experimental Laboratories allow you to reverse engineer Sleeper relics to build the blueprints for manufacturing Tech 3 components. CCP Chronotis explains how this is all possible in his blog How do I build a Strategic Cruiser?
· Reverse engineering has been added as an activity type.
· Tech II versions of the codebreaker, analyzer and salvager can now be invented.

March 10th, 2009CRITICAL:
· Our Classic client has been retired to make way for Premium Lite, bringing higher quality graphics to users with lower end PCs. With Apocrypha we discontinue support for ShaderModel 1, making ShaderModel 2 the minimum requirement (GeForce FX (5 series) or ATi R300 series cards or compatible) and discontinue the "Classic client" version of EVE, replacing it with "Premium Lite." CCP Zulupark provides full details in his blog The results are in; EVE and ShaderModel support.
· A brand new Ramsan 500 has been added to our database server which allows us to have much faster storage. This means that we will see a number of improvements in the future that will shorten daily downtimes, result in faster expansion deployments, and reduce database lag. How MOZO is that!? CCP Mindstar provides much more in depth techno talk in his blog Apocrypharrrrrdware!
· Existing scan probe launchers, probes and blueprints will automatically convert to the new variety. For people with existing launchers/probes/BPs: all existing launchers become Expanded launchers of the right type, all exploration probes (including multispecs) become Core probes, all ship probes become Combat probes, all observators become Deep Space probes. Sisters versions remain sisters versions. BPs are changed in the same way.
WORLD SHAPING:
· Appearing randomly throughout New Eden, gateways to the unknown will open up access to thousands of new solar systems, new Tech 3 technology, new resources and deadly new enemies, The Sleepers, who have awakened to defend their space with deadly force. With new scanning mechanics you will eventually find these new areas of space which are rich in resources but are heavily guarded. CCP Whisper explains more in his blog Building a new bridge to the stars.
· Wormholes will bring a whole new level of adventure and exploration for every pilot who dares to probe out an entrance to the unknown. CCP Abathur, in his blog, The darkness at the end of the tunnel tells us about the laws of Wormhole space, the use of starbases, mass effects and tactical environments.
Ships:
· Custom build your next ship! New technology found in Wormhole Space allows players to research, manufacture and fly the next generation of cruisers. Thousands of combinations are possible due to the modular subsystem design Tech 3 brings to ship creation. Flying a Tech 3 Strategic Cruiser is also easier skill-wise than that of Tech 2 ships. Each ship you create can be used to provide more firepower, better defences and many more variations. CCP Nozh tells us more in his blog Strategic Cruisers: a new breed.
Modules:
· Tech II versions of the Codebreaker, Analyzer and Salvager mini-profession modules have been introduced.

CCP Fear provides more details in his blog Your Revamped Rookie - Part 1.
NPC's:
· The Sleepers lay in waiting beyond the wormholes, guarding resources and technologies considered to be of significant power and value back in known space. They will not give up their treasures easily as they are masters of teamwork and manoeuvring. Expect an enemy that works as a team, identifies your weaknesses and protects its own. Full details of the new NPC’s can be found in the blog by CCP Ytterbium When evolution leaps forward.
· New AI will be applied to the Sleeper NPC’s which allows them to prioritize and change targets at will. This makes PvE combat feel more like PvP. These NPC’s will now repair each other, change targets based on offensive capabilities, logistics or ECM threat. CCP Incognito provides much more detail in his blog How the AI pew pews the player.
· Pirate factions have switched to tougher ships in low security space to prey upon unsuspecting Capsuleers. Low security space will now see battleships appear in the asteroid fields.

In addition, almost everything within wormhole space is new, including the wormholes themselves and gorgeous new nebulas, which are a taste of things to come.
User Interface:
· There is no shortage of customization in EVE, from overview settings to ship fittings. Now players can export their favourite settings, catalogue them for easy reference and share them amongst corp mates. CCP Fendahl gives us a look at the new fitting screen in his blog New Fitting Screen in Apocrypha.
Mac:
· Graphics take a leap forward for Mac Users! The beauty of Trinity engine graphics shines through in the Apocrypha release of the Mac client.

Sisters of EVE variations of the Core and Expanded launchers will receive a scan strength bonus along with a slightly faster cycle time for launching probes and reduced cpu fitting requirements.
· Probes have been changed and three new probe types have been created to replace the previous probe types (Snoop, Fathom etc.). These probes are the Core Probe which can fit in either the Core or Expanded probe launcher which will find exploration sites, the Combat Probe which can fit in the Expanded Probe Launcher only and finds all types of signatures and the Deep Space Probe which can fit in the Expanded Launcher only and replace the Observator Probe of old. Sisters of EVE variations with higher strength will also be available.

· Updated the clients patching mechanism to handle very large files and patches correctly.
December 16th, 2008Need for Speed:
· A new graph is now accessible in the performance monitor that displays information about memory usage in the client.
Fixes:
· Need for Speed - Memory leaks have been plugged in the graphics rendering engine’s resource management. The memory leaks would occur when switching to and from fullscreen, when locking the computer or when the screen saver activated, and also gradually over time.
· Need for Speed - A memory leak in the market price history chart has been plugged. This memory leak could also potentially occur when viewing CONCORD billboards or when opening the settings menu.
EVE API:
· Improving performance when fetching certificate information by character.
Miscellaneous:

December 11th, 2008CRITICAL:
· We are changing the way the patcher behaves. Previously, if the patcher encountered locked files while patching it would suggest that you reboot to complete the patching (but allow you to cancel the reboot, in case you wanted to do something else before rebooting). Now it insists on a reboot before you continue. People will still have the option to close other programs before pressing the OK button to start the reboot. There were problems with locked files, reboot requests and Vista. That has now been fixed and should work normally on both XP and Vista.
· The client will now check files and folders before starting the patching process. Previously, if it found extra files it would automatically move them to a temporary folder before continuing. Now it will suggest rebooting to complete patching (because these might be patch files for a pending reboot) or suggest that you should manually remove the extra files.
CHANGES:
Need for Speed:
· In our continuing efforts to improve fleet fights, we have made various improvements that have resulted in a much better overall performance. CCP Atlas details these changes in The EVE Client - A Love Story.
· We have made various performance improvements to UI rendering in the graphics engine.
· Turrets and turret effects now work in the same way for both the Classic and Premium clients. A turret is no longer loaded into a scene unless it is either fired at you or you are “looking at” the owner’s ship. Now, iff you disable turret effects you will only see the turret models of your own ship or any ship that you are explicitly look at. This reduces the loading time of scenes with a large number of turret ships substantially and increases the framerate per second on such scenes dramatically in Premium but has no effect on the Classic client. If you disable turrets, any turret model that is already in the scene will continue to be there. However, warping away and back again will clean out turret models.
· Sentry gun turrets will also behave in the same manner as ship turrets. They will not appear unless you are looking at them or unless they are firing on you.
· Drone models can now be disabled. Disabling the models has an incredible impact in loading up heavy scenes on both the Classic and Premium clients. The impact on the framerate per second once the scene is loaded will only be measurable if your camera is zoomed in far enough for the drones to resolve into models. When drone models are set to disabled then the turrets are automatically also set to disabled.
· You can now disable camera shaking which both disables camera shake when missiles hit and when you're in warp.
· You can now disable ship explosions. Ship explosions had the ability to add heavy load in major fleet engagements and can now be completely turned off.
· Tactical notifications can now be disabled. Warp scrambling messages and self destruct are two examples of these notifications. Please note that these notifications will still display if it is your ship which is being affected.
· We have added a new option called “Hide all brackets” which is the inverse of the existing “Show all brackets” and will function in the same way. The two options are mutually exclusive so activating one will disable the other. This is a new and easier way to disable brackets.
· Graphics General
· We discovered that certain memory re-allocation behavior gave bad performance on Windows XP. We switched from regular memory heaps to low fragmentation heaps, which gave a tremendous boost to model loading on Windows XP. This change had no effect on Windows Vista, but the behavior on Vista both before and after is much better than on XP.
· Bracket loading in heavy scenes has been substantially improved.
· FIXES
Graphics General:
· A memory leak has been identified and fixed resulting in a much smoother performance overall.
· Under certain conditions the graphics engine would find objects that did not exist in the scene anymore. This has now been fixed and will no longer result in performance degradation.
· Found and fixed an issue where the graphics engine DLL could not be loaded on certain older hardware
Miscellaneous:
· An error will no longer be generated when jumping between two clones which both have implants.
Exploit Fixes:
· Several exploits have been fixed making New Eden a better place for everyone.
November 28th, 2008CRITICAL:
· Duration timers on modules can now be enabled and disabled. This will allow players who experience discomfort with duration timers the option of disabling the effect completely.
· To address performance issues, we have made changes to the EVE Mail system in Quantum Rise 1.0.2. You will now be able to download only your first 1000 undeleted EVE Mails. In order to access additional Mails, you will need to delete mails currently in your inbox in order to make space. Additionally, EVE Mails sent by NPCs that are older than three months will be deleted. CONCORD EVE Mails are excluded from this deletion, however, they still fall under the 1000 EVE Mail limit. This change will be delayed by 24 hours and will come into effect on Friday 28 November 2008.
CHANGES:
Need for Speed:
· The collision ball set up on various Large Collideable Objects, especially in mission sites, has been simplified to increase overall server performance.
· Performance warnings that were displayed within the server logs have been investigated and fixed. The result is that number of database calls has been reduced which results in lower latency overall. In simple terms this means less lag overall!
Ships:
· All blockade runners (Crane, Prorator, Prowler and Viator) now have a 5 second reactivation time when using a covert ops cloaking device.
· The shield recharge time on the Orca has been changed to 2100 seconds
· The bonus for cloaking which is applied to blockade runners now correctly states "-98.5% to -99.25% bonus to cpu need of covert ops cloaks"
Player Owned Structures, Stations and Outposts:
· Increased the capacity of the Large, X-large and Capital ship assembly arrays by 500m3. This will allow items other than the largest possible ships to be stored or assembled within them. This change permits for ships to be assembled whenever blueprints are held in the array.
Graphics General:
· The cache settings for the Classic mode and Premium mode are now stored separately.
Miscellaneous:
· Moving multiple items between containers is now working properly. You will no longer receive a message telling you the item is locked.
FIXES:
Ships:
· The correct armor repair bonus has been applied to the Occator. The ship will now give a 5% bonus to armor hit points repaired per level.
Weapons & Ammunition:
· You can no longer move charges between grouped or ungrouped weapons within the fitting screen
· Attempting to group modules other than turrets or launchers will now display the message “You can only group turrets and launchers.”
· Loading ammunition into weapon groups will work properly in all cases. Attempting to load an odd amount of turret ammunition or missiles into a weapon group will split the ammunition over all grouped weapons and any odd number will not be used and will be returned to the hangar or cargo hold. For example, attempting to load 51 cruise missiles into a group of two Cruise Missile Launcher II’s will display as 25 charges and the additional missile will remain in your cargo or hangar.
· A pop up notification window will now appear for both weapon groups and single weapons when trying to load more ammunition than the turret, launcher or weapon group can hold.
· You can no longer drag and drop ammunition into grouped weapons on the fitting screen when a different type of ammunition is already fitted. Fitted charges will need to be removed before you drag and drop any new ammunition into the weapon group.
· Turret damage is now displayed correctly in the player logs. Wrecking and excellent hits will be shown in all of their pew pew glory.
· Players will no longer see phantom ammunition appear in their personal hangar after removing a loaded fitted turret to the Corporation hangar. All loaded ammunition will now be correctly stored in the Corporation hangar when the turret is unfitted there.
· The blueprint for Gurista Citadel Torpedoes has been removed. In addition, Gurista Torpedoes will no longer display the "I" after their name i.e. Gurista Doom Torpedo I will now display as Gurista Doom Torpedo.
Skills:
· It is now possible to start skill training a level 0 skill from the Certificate Planner. This means that skills that have not been trained to Level 1, and were added to be trained at a later date, can now be started normally via the Certificate Planner.
Player Owned Structures, Stations & Outposts:
· The order of modules within the production tab of player owned structures will no longer change when reloading or sorting fuel within the tabs. This fix will directly affect the listing of silos, reactors and moon harvesting arrays.
· Shooting at a station service with turret weapons will no longer generate an exception error once the station service is at 0%. This situation occurred when shooting a station service which was at 0% directly after downtime.
· An error message is no longer generated when attempting to move items into the Corporation hangar. When items were totalling in excess of 1000 items, this error message was being displayed.
Market & Contracts:
· The “Item Name (exact)” filter is now working properly in the contracts window. If no contracts are found then the “No Contracts Found” message is properly displayed.
Graphics General:
· Orbital maps in the solar system show info window now display correctly.
· Medals can now be created with characters that are not English i.e. Chinese, Cyrillic or Greek. Current medals which use these characters can be changed by submitting a petition to our Customer Support Team
· It will now be possible to create a medal using UNICODE characters in the medal name.
· Character portraits will now be captured correctly when using the "capture portrait" option. The image will be displayed in the My Documents>EVE>capture>portrait as one large picture rather than four passport sized pictures.

November 12th, 2008Critical:
· Vastly outperforming previous network technology, StacklessIO brings reduced latency and faster response to EVE Online. With StacklessIO, the groundwork has been laid for pushing the limits of today's server technology to new heights. For the past two years we have been developing this new technology to increase the performance of our network communication infrastructure in EVE. This new network layer reduces network latency and improves performance in high-volume situations, e.g., in fleet-fights and market hubs such as Jita. More information can be found in CCP Explorer’s blog on StacklessIO
· We've migrated all of our key servers to 64-bit software, allowing the scale of player battles to surpass the previous limit of a few hundred on each side and improving performance in extremely high traffic regions of space. Full details of EVE 64 can be seen in EVE64 Dev Blog by CCP Explorer.
· Major world shaping events have occured in the Constellation of Santenpaa. Caldari Corporations, especially the Caldari Navy, have relocated several Agents to other areas of the state to improve efficency. This will mainly affect the systems of Isenarios and Aramachi.
· In addition the Caldari State have relocated jump gates from this area.
· The 30-day renewable license pioneered by CONCORD is an alternative to its pod pilot contract license. Pilots on this new renewal scheme can purchase license extensions for ISK and thereby forgo the need for a contract altogether. Full details can be found in Oveurs Blog I can resist anything but temptation
World Shaping:
The following stargate routes have been removed:
· Komo Motsu
· Saila Oichiya
· Saila Motsu
· Saila Laah
The following stargate routes have been added:
· Komo Oichiya
· Oichiya Laah
The following stations belonging to the Caldari Navy have been deployed:
· Ichoriya V Caldari Navy Logistic Support.
· Tintoh VIII Caldari Navy Testing Facilities.
Ships:
· Outer Ring excavations (ORE) and Deep Core Mining (DCM) have completed a joint venture by creating The Orca. This new empire-capable vessel is designed as a "sub capital" logistical ship with a mining command focus, ideal for the day to day needs of corporations or individuals. Filling a void between regular and capital ships, the Orca is a more affordable option for pilots who can’t yet fly capitals. These boats are able to use stargates but do not have jump drives. CCP Chronotis provides full details in the Orca Dev Blog.
Role Bonus:

· Drones: 75m3/50 Mbit/sec bandwidth
Need For Speed:
· Weapon Grouping is a new system that allows you to group your ship’s guns/launchers together into one entity. Group creation will be done through a single right-click menu and activation will be toggled by a shortcut or button. The benefits are that you can fire all guns and missiles in one salvo and change ammo types across all turrets and launchers much more easily. This new feature also reduces the number of database calls required for firing weapons separately, allowing the server to operate more fluidly. Module recharge timers allow players to gauge how long before the next activation. The movable HUD gives players even more control over their UI layout. Full details on Weapon Linking can be found at Weapon Grouping by CCP Ytterbium.
· Speed rebalance has been introduced, affecting a great many different ships and modules. Maximum top speed has been reduced across the board along with changes to how micro warp drives operate. Stasis webifiers, rigs, overdrives, implants, web drones and gang bonuses have all been changed. Full details of what has been changed will be listed in the appropriate section and a full listing of the Speed Rebalanced Dev Blog by CCP Nozh is available.
· Thousands of NPC's have been affected by changes to rate of fire. Various NPC's with a high rate of fire were modified, their RoF reduced and the damage increased, keeping the DPS the same. Less number of shots means less load on the server.
· Various database improvements have been added to allow for optimization of the game engine. These improvements will allow the client to provide a smoother gaming experience for players. This includes changes to Corporation standings which are calculated during downtime.
· It also affects how characters are loaded into and unloaded from solar systems.The biggest benefit will be when a large fleet is jumping simultaneously and how the server manages and tracks engagements.
· We have made improvements to the contract system on a DB level and we also refactored and optimised how a large number of items are moved between a station hangar and ship cargo hold.
Player Owned Structures, Stations & Outposts:
· A new Large Ship Assembly Array has been added which can be anchored in high security space. This new assembly array can manufacture battleships, freighters and industrial command ships. It has 3 slots with a 0.75 time multiplier and a 1.0 material multiplier.
Agents & Missions:
· 54 new missions have been added for Level 1 through to Level 5. These missions are primarily for Empire based factions.
Character Creation and New Player Experience:
· Earn official recognition for accomplishing certain levels of skill training in all areas from trading to combat. Certificates are a powerful tool to reinforce your bragging rights and bargaining power. The certificate system will be an invaluable asset to new players who wish to plan a new skill. Full details can be seen in the Certificates blog from CCP Greyscale.
Science & Industry:
· Moon minerals have gone through some changes in regards to production. Moon mining will remain unchanged and will process as normal; however, players can now create some of the rarer moon minerals like dysprosium and promethium through reactions. We have created six new reactions which allow you to create key intermediate materials without relying on the rarest moon minerals. This isn't, of course, an efficient process and each rare mineral has been assigned a more common counterpart, which can be used in the place of the rare mineral in these new reactions at a ratio of 20:1. This roughly approximates the difference in moon count between the rare mineral and the common mineral in each case. The four pairings are cadmium/dysprosium, vanadium/thulium, chromium/promethium and platinum/neodymium. The final output of each of the reactions will be ten units per cycle, and the common mineral always replaces the mineral at a 20:1 ratio. More details can be found in the Alchemy Dev Blog from CCP Greyscale.
Markets & Contracts:
· The market has had a bit of a makeover. Extra filters have been added and the price history screen has been adjusted.
Corporation & Alliance:
· Player corporations will be able to create and award medals to their members.
· Any member with the personnel manager, director or CEO role can create a medal in the corp interface > members > decorations section. When creating a medal you define the look of the medal, give it a title and description. Creating a medal costs 5 million ISK paid from the corp wallet.
· A personnel manager, director or CEO can then award a medal they have created to their corp members either by context selecting the corp member in the chat channel or using the memberlists and multi selecting many members. The cost of awarding a medal is 5million ISK per award to each member. The same medal can be awarded multiple times to the same member.
· When you are awarded a medal, you will receive an evemail notification detailing why you were awarded the medal. You can then check the decorations tab in your character sheet to see a list of medals you have been awarded. From here you can opt to display a medal publically or trash it or set it back to private. Your other corporation members can see an overview of the corporations medals within the corp interface> members > decorations tab which displays various information for each medal including its recipients.
· Medals can be set public after you have been awarded them through your character sheet in the decorations > settings tab. Medals may take up to an hour to show to other players around the universe.
Graphics General:
· Stargates have received a makeover and will now display gorgeous new graphics. Each faction has had their stargates optimised and the effects are stunning.
· Gates which are currently Smuggler stargates will remain so.
· Gates between systems in the same constellation will use Small gates.

· Gates in systems with Blood Raider or Sansha asteroid pirates will use Amarr gates.
· Gates in systems with Guristas asteroid pirates will use Caldari Gates.
· Gates in systems with Serpentis or Rogue Drone asteroid pirates will use Gallente gates.
· Gates in systems with Angel asteroid pirates will use Minmatar gates.
Graphics Premium:
· There is now a Premium version of the CONCORD station in Yulai. Until now this station has only been available as a Classic model (in both the Classic and Premium clients).
User Interface:
· There is a new color scheme preset option called "Nero". This is the default color scheme in Quantum Rise.
· A new option has been added to the UI under ESC> General settings tab> Window snap distance called "Don't Snap" which will allow players to disable windows snapping altogether.
· Double clicking on a character icon in chat will now display "Show info" rather than starting a conversation. This is the default setting.
· Module recharge timers allow players to gauge how long before the next activation.

· The Crane, Prorator, Prowler and Viator can now use a black ops jump portal.
· The Crane, Prorator, Prowler and Viator have had their +2warp strength bonus removed.
· The bonus to the shield booster amount for the Crane has been reduced to 5%.
· The armor repair duration bonus has been removed from the Prorator.
· The shield booster cap need bonus has been removed from the Prowler.
· The armor repairer cap need bonus has been removed from the Viator.
· The Bustard, Impel, Mastodon and Occator all gain a +2 warp strength bonus. In addition, the Bustard and Mastodon have gained a +5% bonus to shield hitpoints per Transport Ships skill level and the Impel and Occator have gained a +5% bonus to armor hitpoints per Transport Ships level.
· The Bustard has had its shield boost bonus reduced to 5% per level.
· The Impel has had its armor repairer duration bonus removed.
· The Mastodon has had its shield booster capacitor need bonus removed.
· The Occator has had its armor repairer capacitor need and duration bonus removed and an armor repairer amount bonus added.

· The Heretic now has an explosion velocity bonus changed to +5% per level.
· The Golem now has an explosion velocity bonus changed to +5% per level.
· A situation existed where your active ship could, incorrectly, be stored in a Carrier ship maintenance bay while docked at a station. This has been fixed and it is no longer possible to store your active ship in a Carrier while docked at a station.
· Carrier pilots now have full access to the carrier corp hangars even if corporation roles for corp hangars are different.
· Jaguar bonuses have been clarified, and resistance bonuses have been removed.
· All Harpies and Hawks have been recalled for urgent paint jobs. They will now show their respective mega-corporations' colors.
· Both jump freighters and regular freighters may now loot from jump freighter wrecks.
· Carriers and Motherships will no longer keep additional targets locked when triage mode expires. The ship will revert to the maximum number of locked targets as allowed by the player’s skills.
Modules:
· Nanofiber Internal Structures of all types no longer give a mass reduction and will instead have a velocity modifier and inertia multiplier.
· All overdrives have been reduced in effectiveness by 37.5%. Faction variants (Republic Fleet and Domination) will have a maximum 12.5% velocity modifier but cargo capacity drawback will only be 5%.
· The micro warp drive is now vulnerable to warp scramblers (the 7.5km version). If you get scrambled your MWD will immediately end its cycle. You won't be able to activate it until you're out of warp scramble range, and the reactivation timer has expired. In addition, all MWD's now give you a 500% speed boost, regardless of meta level.
· The capacitor penalty associated with micro warp drives will now be based on meta level. A standard Tech I MWD will have a capacitor penalty of 25% when equipped while the meta 14 MWD will have a 0% penalty to capacitor status. Signature radius bonus will also be applied in this manner. A standard Tech I MWD will have a signature radius penalty of 500% while the meta 14 variation will be 411%.
· Changes have been made to all variations of afterburners. A standard Tech I afterburner will now have a speed boost of 112.5% while a meta 14 variant will have a 162% speed boost. Adjustments have been made to the cap requirement for meta 11 and above. There are clear advantages and drawbacks to the two types of modules within the same meta level. Some afterburners will have a smaller cap and power grid need while others will have more speed bonus and less CPU need.
· The following afterburners have all increased in meta level by a factor of +1: Gallente Navy 1/10/100MN Afterburner, Shadow Serpentis 1/10/100MN Afterburner, Monopropellant I Hydrazine Boosters, Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters. The LiF Fueled I Booster Rockets will be reduced in meta level by a factor of -1.
· Stasis webifiers now have a maximum effective speed reduction of -60%. This changed from the maximum effective speed reduction of -90%. In order to compensate, all standard webifiers and faction variants will have either better range and CPU fitting requirements, better range and speed factor, or better speed factor and CPU fitting requirements. Officer variants will now have up to 20km range (reduced from 40km) and a speed reduction factor between 55-60%. Capacitor use, power grid and CPU fitting requirements have been tweaked depending on meta level.
· Warp scramblers have been changed and, along with the current ability of +2 warp scrambling strength, will now incapacitate an active micro warp drive. The Dark Blood and True Sansha warp scrambler have been promoted to meta level eight and the four variants within meta levels seven through nine will allow for either better range and CPU fitting, better range and strength, better strength and CPU fitting or much better CPU fitting.
· Officer warp scramblers will now have a maximum range of up to 15 km. Capacitor use, power grid and CPU fitting requirements have been tweaked depending on meta level.
· The radius of the large mobile warp disruptors have been reduced by about 26%. This will range from the smallest (Mobile Small Warp Disruptor I) of 5000m radius up to the largest (Syndicate Mobile Large Warp Disruptor) of 33,500m. In addition, the total hit points of the Syndicate Mobile Large Warp Disruptor have been increased by 50%.
· Skirmish Warfare skill will be changed to give a 2% per level gang bonus to agility.
· Skirmish Warfare Mindlink will also be changed to give a 15% gang bonus to agility, in addition to the 50% bonus to the command bonus of Skirmish Warfare Link modules. The agility gang bonus overrides effect of the Skirmish Warfare skill gang bonus, just like for the other "passive" mindlink bonuses.
· Skirmish Warfare Link will be changed to give a 2% command bonus, resulting in a maximum 25.875% boost.
· Energy Nosferatu and Neutralizers have had their blueprint job times reduced to be in line with other modules.
· The Protest´ Large Armor Repairer I blueprint and module will now appear under the search options in the Contracts menu.
· The Remote Sensor Booster II has had its skill requirements changed to Sensor Linking 4 to bring it in line with other T2 modules.
· "AURA" warp core stabilizers have been enhanced and their CPU requirements reduced to 22.
· T1 and T2 Mercoxit Mining Crystal BPO’s have had their required number of Nocxium for building modified. In addition, Tech II Mercoxit mining crystals can now be reprocessed.
· A signature radius of 25m has been added to Mining Drone I, Mining Drone II, Civilian Mining Drone and Harvester Mining Drone. This will now prevent 100% scan success on mining drones with any type of probe.
· Descriptions for warfare link modules have been changed. It now says: "Note: The Gang bonus only works if you are the assigned fleet booster."
· "Passive Defence Armored Warfare Link" does not cause aggression and it is possible to dock and jump after having it activated.
Several warp scramblers have been renamed to better specify their functionality:
· Faint Epsilon Warp Prohibitor I -> Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler
· Initiated Harmonic Warp Jammer I -> Initiated Harmonic Warp Scrambler
· J5b Phased Prototype Warp Inhibitor I -> J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
Several warp disruptors have been renamed to better specify their functionality:
· J5 Prototype Warp Inhibitor I -> J5 Prototype Warp Disruptor I
· Fleeting Warp Scrambler I -> Fleeting Warp Disruptor
· Faint Warp Prohibitor I -> Faint Warp Disruptor
· Initiated Warp Jammer I -> Initiated Warp Disruptor
Rigs:
· Polycarbon Engine Housing I and II no longer give a mass reduction and will instead have a velocity modifier and inertia multiplier.
· Locus Coordinator rigs are now subject to stacking penalties.
Weapons & Ammunition:
· All missile types have been balanced to ensure that oversized missiles do not have too much of an effect on smaller ships. As before, ships are still protected from larger missiles by their signature radius. When going sufficiently fast, the damage taken from missiles is reduced by the signature radius to speed ratio, rather than just speed. Going faster or reducing the signature radius will reduce missile damage further. For a ship with the same signature radius as the missile's explosion radius, the missile's explosion velocity indicates the speed at which the missile damage starts to get reduced. The new formula allows for speed tanking using afterburners. In fact, afterburners will in general be more effective than micro warp drive for speed tanking missiles.
· Light, heavy and cruise precision missiles will now do more damage to smaller targets and will have a penalty of -50% range.
· Rocket, assault missile and torpedo javelin missiles will now do -10% less damage but range has been increased by 50%.
· Rage rocket, assault missiles and torpedoes and Fury light, heavy and cruise missiles will do less damage to their own ship class but will do more damage to a larger ship class. They will also have a -10% range reduction.
· The cost of producing all types of bombs has been reduced by 33%. This change will affect the Concussion, Electron. Lockbreaker, Scorch, Shrapnel and Void bombs.
· Doomsday devices and smartbombs will no longer penetrate the shield of a starbase, even if you have permission to access the POS shields.
Drones:
· In order to bring the Berserker SW-900 drones in line with the changed webifiers, their speed factor is changed from -30% to -20%. Since the web effect is affected by a stacking penalty, 5x -30% web drones gives an overall reduction of 45.9%.
· All medium drones have been changed as they were too effective against small targets. The optimal signature radius has been increased to 125m and increased tracking by a factor of 1.2x giving a change of -42.4% against smaller targets.
· Particle Accelerator Units were being requested as building components for Infiltrator, Vespa, Hammerhead and Valkyrie Tech II drones. These have been changed to the correct construction component required by race. Therefore Infiltrator drones will use Laser Focusing Crystals, Vespa drones will use Superconductor Rails and Valkyrie drones will use Thermonuclear Trigger Units for Tech II production. Hammerhead drones will still require Particle Accelerator Units for construction.
· Tech II Praetor drones now require two Laser Focusing Crystals for production to bring them in line with other Tech II heavy drone variants.
Skills:
· The description of the "Electronic Warfare" skill has been modified to clarify that it does not affect capital class modules.
· The Chief Financial Officer skill book has been removed from the market.
Player Owned Structures, Stations and Outposts:
· You will now automatically relinquish control of starbase guns or system scanners whenever you disconnect from the client.
· Ship assembly arrays of all sizes at starbases have had their descriptions changed to reflect new ship classes that they are able to produce. The Advanced Large Ship Assembly Array can now produce Black Ops, Marauders and Jump Freighters. The Advanced Medium Ship Assembly Array can produce Heavy Interdictors and the Advanced Small Ship Assembly Array can produce Electronic Attack Frigates.
· The large ship assembly array has been renamed to X-Large Ship Assembly Array.
· The Efficient Equipment Assembly Array has been renamed to the Equipment Assembly Array and the number of manufacturing slots has been increased to six. The time multiplier has also been changed to 0.75.
· Advanced capital construction components have been added to the component assembly array. Component assembly arrays will now be able to manufacture these items.
· The jump bridge fuel bay has been changed to allow only the correct fuel, liquid ozone, to be loaded.
· Right clicking your mouse on the system scanning array in the scanner window will no longer give you the option to "Destroy Probe". The only action that can be performed will be "Relinquish Control".
· POS gunners will now be able to target and destroy hostile drones in high security space.
· The capital ship assembly array, cynosural system jammer and system scanning array were incorrectly displaying a mass of 100 kg. After a diet consisting of steak, pizza and Oveur's beer supply, they now display the correct mass of 10000000 kg.
· Bookmarks will now display correctly in the corporate hangar array. This will allow them to be removed and allow the unanchoring of this module.

· All variations of X-Instinct booster will no longer provide a velocity bonus and will instead give a bonus for reduced signature radius. The new description will read: "This energizing booster grants its user a vastly improved economy of effort when parsing the data streams needed to sustain space flight. The main benefit of this lies not in improved performance but less waste of transmission and extraneous micro maneuvers, making the pilot's ship sleeker in performance and harder to detect. The booster's only major drawback is the crazed notion that the pilot's inventory would be look so much better if merely rearranged ONE MORE TIME.”
Character Creation & New Player Experience:
· The text on page 3 of the tutorial named "Character sheet advanced information" has been modified to say “plug in” rather than “Insert” for implants.
· New Minmatar players will now receive the same standing bonuses as their Caldari counterparts when completing courier missions designed for new players.
