EVE Online Dev Tracker

The April release will include the next highly anticipated step in the war declarations revamp: the removal of neutral assistance from highsec wars. CONCORD and the Crimewatch system will now prevent third parties from interfering in war combat through remote repair and command bursts. As always, Safety Settings at either yellow or green will ensure that logistics pilots avoid any unwanted CONCORD entanglements.

Also coming this spring is a hefty set of sub-capital changes aimed at giving new life to laser platforms as well as some small adjustments for a few of EVE’s biggest performers.

Medium Beam Lasers receive increased ranges, as well an increase in large energy turret damage for the Abaddon. And the Harbinger, Cyclone, Caracal Navy Issue, Vexor Navy Issue, Gila, Ferox, and Corax all receive a balance pass increasing their effectiveness for some ships, while decreasing effectiveness for others.

Several balance changes will be coming in this April release targeted towards Capital Ship operations.

High Angle Weaponry damage application from Titans is halved. Fighter damage application against all smaller targets is also reduced. The Networked Sensor Array will now disallow ship warp while it is active. And Ship Insurance prices have been adjusted reducing payouts also affecting standard capital ships and supercarriers.

In the April release, we are introducing a new system for all remote repair and remote capacitor transfer modules which will reduce their effectiveness as more are used on the same target.

This change is designed to promote more destruction in EVE’s largest battles where capital and super-capital defensive capabilities have been extremely strong.

Alton Haveri reports on the Triglavian Collective's takeover of New Eden's billboards. The cryptic, looping message which is delivered by "Zorya Triglav" has raised many questions for analysts, with CONCORD now being urged to reveal all of their findings about the Triglavian Collective and their intentions.

The good people behind Evesterdam have laid a solid foundation and made Amsterdam one of the world's party capitals. A keynote presentation will kick off the tour and give insight into what lies ahead for EVE. Players and developers will speak, do battle in spaceships and of course explore the (appropriate) Amsterdam nightlife.

We are committed to our ongoing fight against botting and real money trading in New Eden. As part of the fight against abuse of Alpha accounts by those involved in botting and real money trading, we are making changes to access to level 4 and 5 missions. These changes are coming in the March release and will mean that level 4 and 5 missions will now only be available to users with Omega status.

Alton Haveri reports on the destruction of Fort Knox, the first fully operational Keepstar citadel in New Eden. The besieged structure in the wormhole system known as Rage finally had its defenses breached and underwent a spectacular demise. In other news, Minmatar forces have been taking up positions near jump gates that border Amarr Empire systems, enforcing a blockade.

Last year, the Guardian's Gala was once again attacked by opportunistic capsuleers. This time around the Angel Cartel are back, more prepared than ever to ward off the inevitable assault.

We are happy to introduce changes to a system that absolutely every pilot in New Eden utilizes on a regular basis - the skill training system. These changes are aimed at simplifying the flow for new players but will also make obtaining and training skills easier for everyone.

All core skills will now be purchasable directly from the character sheet for ISK. Rare skills that are not seeded on the market and are only available through the completion of in game content will continue to be available through the market.

This new system will make sure that the old core mechanics of seeding and injection remain in place.

The March release will include important fixes aimed at closing loopholes that allow players to gain short-term immunity from certain war declarations. Closing these loopholes will be especially helpful for players fighting large-scale wars over high value highsec assets. Three such fixes will be deployed with the March release, which are covered in detail in our dev blog.

As we head toward spring and summer 2019, there’ll be more balance passes to various ships and modules as we look to keep the PVP meta fresh and ensure that combat choices and tactical decisions continue to matter just as much as your ship and fitting choices.

A mysterious third party has contracted The Agency to disrupt the operations of Outer Ring Excavations over the course of the winter. For the first time ever, capsuleer vessels will graze the atmosphere of planets in New Eden, venturing into low orbit installations that offer challenges and activities of all types that range from mining and gas harvesting to combat and hacking.

Resources and loot from these installations can then be used to build all manner of new and useful hardware, so be sure to venture in and grab what you can to reap the rewards of Operation Permafrost!

Operation Permafrost will run from December 17th through to January 2nd.

As part of the January release, we'll be deploying a fix to resolve the defect that was causing visual desync for our pilots when exiting warp.

We're fully aware that this was causing substantial concern for many of our pilots across a wide range of roles, and are happy to confirm that this will be resolved with the deployment of the January release!

With this release, the Activity Tracker will see further updates and optimizations that improve usability, including relocating the whole feature to a window rather than filling the screen, making it easier to view while in space.

Pilots will also benefit from improved navigation controls, additional tracking and improved tool tips.

One of the most common patterns with hacked accounts is the mass extraction of skillpoints after a password reset request via a compromised email address.

As part of our drive to protect the accounts of our pilots and continue to enhance security, all EVE Online accounts will automatically be set to prevent skill extraction for a given period after a password reset request is completed.
