[2021] Delayed deployment of Personal Skill Plans on native mac client

Greetings, Capsuleers

The release of EVE Online’s native mac client is coming soon – and while we’re excited to bring this new and improved EVE experience to macOS, we’d also like to pre-emptively notify you that the Personal Skill Plans functionality of the new skill interface will not be accessible in the native client upon its release, due to external factors beyond our control – meaning that players will not initially be able to either create or save personal skill plans, nor save a shared plan.

This will not affect access to the skill catalogue or certified plans, however. Additionally, any personal skill plans you have already saved will remain in the database, and will in fact be accessible if logging in on a PC during this waiting period.

We plan to bring you this functionality as soon as possible in a later release. Please bear with us as we ensure that your experience will be as well-polished as possible: the native mac client includes significant improvements across the board, and we can’t wait to bring you into this new era!

I’m afraid we don’t have a date for the Personal Skill Plans, but it’s being worked on as we speak.

We’re really sorry for the delay on this. I know how frustrating it is that it’s not working, as I want to use it too.
I can’t give a date, all I can say is that we have multiple people working on this and it’s being treated as a priority internally.

Hi all

Apologies for the delay on this. It’s been a huge piece of work that will serve as the underpinning for many future features that EVE will have. See the devblog here: Introducing Quasar | EVE Online

The good news is that this is now live on Sisi if you’d like to give it a try. We hope to release it in the next major release if we don’t see any issues there.

This is not my area I’m afraid so can’t offer any insight.

Yup, spot on.

We were in a situation where our old Wine client wasn’t really working on M1 properly, so had to make the call on what features we could ship the native mac client without so players could reliably play on it.
Skillplans / gRPC was the main one, which needed quite a bit of development work on. In the scheme of things, I knew it would be annoying, but it wasn’t game-breaking.

The alternative was not shipping the new client until this release…so quite a long time.
