¤ Patch 99186 to 101786 addresses Patch Notes for Apocrypha 1.5.1

Patch notes for Apocrypha 1.5.1, released Thursday, 10 September 2009.

FIXES

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.

POST-PATCH CHANGES

Patch notes for Apocrypha 1.5.1-1 Server side change, released Tuesday, 29 September 2009.

FIXES

Miscellaneous

• Several enhancements have been made to our billing website and infrastructure.
• Login features for the billing service has been improved.
• Updates to character usage in email notifications and better features to handle PLEX within campaigns have both been improved.

Patch notes for Apocrypha 1.5.1-2 Server side change, released Tuesday, 6 October 2009.

CHANGES

Need for Speed

• The Directional Scanner can now only be activated once every 1.3 seconds. It had previously been reduced to every 2 seconds due to performance concerns and exploits but has been increased now to match the visual timer.
• Several database updates have been added to increase performance.

FIXES

Epic Mission Arcs

• The acceleration gate in the Federation Detention Facility required for the epic arc mission “The Breakout” no longer consumes the key on activation.
• The Federation Detention Facility required for the epic arc mission “The Breakout” is now distributed in each system in the Aokinen constellation.
• The reward for the epic mission “Revelation” has been adjusted and will now give out 25 million ISK upon completion.
• The epic mission “Their Loss, Our Profit” now requires the players to deliver the S.I. sheet before it can be completed.
• Shooting Amarr NPCs in the epic mission “Longing Leman” will no longer cause a standings hit.
• The epic mission “Right Tool For The Job” now requires the players to deliver the Fednav tag before it can be completed.

Miscellaneous

• IGAN Radio added as a persistent chat channel.
• Several GM Tools have been improved allowing the Customer Support team to assist you.

Exploits

• Several exploit issues have been fixed, making EVE a better world to live in for us all.

FEATURES

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…
• Production times for rigs have been increased. Using junk to make state of the art equipment is not easy!

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 Takalo
• Players 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 properly
• The 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 location
• The 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 client
• The 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

POST-PATCH CHANGES

Apocrypha 1.5.0-1 Server side change, released 21 August 2009

• This hotfix today was made to fix the new Caldari epic arc. The arc was disabled yesterday before we opened and was enabled today. All four arcs are now available.

Apocrypha 1.5.0-2 Server side change, released 24 August 2009

• The Minmatar Epic Arc “Playing All Their Cards” has been fixed. Players will now be able to complete the mission and accept the reward without worrying about how much space is available in their cargo hold.

Apocrypha 1.5.0-3 Server side change, released 25 August 2009

• Killmails are now correctly generated when all participants are Factional Warfare members.
• The base NPC sell price of the large rig blueprints was increased to be consistent with the small and medium rig blueprint prices
• The Medium Energy Burst Aerator I Blueprint is now correctly sold by various Amarr Science corps.
• The small and medium EW Drone range augmentor rigs were released accidentally. These have been removed and any rig or blueprint of this type was converted to a drone control range augmentor rig variant.

FEATURES

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. CCP Explorer provides full tech details in his dev blog Encore: EVE Online 'Core'

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. This fix will be released in a future patch

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.

Graphics

• Multiple NPC’s have had missing guns added to their ships. Now they look much cooler before you blow them up.

User Interface

• The starmap has been fixed and stars will no longer vanish when zooming in and out.
• The certificates for "Battleship Advanced Artillery Turrets - Elite" and "Battleship Advanced Beam Turrets - Elite" now display the correct description.
• A ship GUID icon has been added to the Show Info window for all Doomsday Devices.
• A grammatical error has been corrected in the error message displayed when attempting to overload Cruise Missile Launchers.
• We have cleaned up the double spaces and trailing of some names in groups and items. A search for said items will now yield the proper result.
• A grammatically incorrect attribute which was displayed in the Show Info of the Naglfar has been removed.
• A grammatical error has been corrected in the “Military-Damage Types (3 of 5)” tutorial.
• A grammatical error has been corrected in the World Map Control Panel.
• Several typographical errors have been corrected in the “Mining” tutorial.

EVE Voice, Mail & Chat

• It is now possible to join voice chat on newly created chat channels. The "Join Audio" button will now display correctly on all newly created player chat channels.
• Players can now join other player created channels normally without getting a message stating "You may own at most 10 mailing channels or mailing lists."

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.

EXPLOIT FIXES

Changes 

Critical

• The default overview setting for war, militia, and global criminal targets has been changed. War and militia targets will now blink when previously they did not. Global criminal targets will no longer blink. A dev blog detailing this change is coming soon.

Ships

• The Naglfar has been overhauled to bring it in line with other Dreadnaughts. The Naglfar will now receive an additional mid slot along with a further 150 CPU. The powergrid has been reduced to 560,000 (-65,000). A new damage bonus has been added which will give the ship an additional 7.5% damage to projectile turrets per Minmatar Dreadnaught skill level. The bonus to citadel torpedo damage has been removed; however, the velocity of citadel torpedoes has been increased to 2,750 m/s while the flight time has been decreased to 25 seconds.
• The signature radius of all stealth bombers has been reduced by a small amount.
• The agility and the scan resolution of some ship classes has been adjusted to allow them to have a better chance of locking ships of their own size before they got to warp. Full details are available here.
• When a Falcon cloaks and is jamming a ship, the icon showing that ECM is in progress and the jamming effect will be removed immediately. Additionally, CONCORD has declared all “BECAUSE OF FALCON” jokes passé.

Modules

• The CPU fitting requirements for a bomb launcher has been reduced to 50 CPU. In addition, the description for bomb launchers will state that it can be fitted on a stealth bomber only. Attempting to fit the module on any other ship will fail. This change will now allow the fitting preview window correctly when trying to fit a stealth bomber.
• The description of “Mission Rancorous Researcher (1/5) - Item 'Device'” has been reverted to "This is a thing. It does stuff."  All praise the power of the Device!
• Racial engine trails have been returned to Fighters.
• If a ship cloaks, all active modules that modify attributes, such as ECM, will stop immediately and the icons showing the effect will disappear.

Weapons & Ammunition

• The maximum velocity for bombs has been increased but flight time has been decreased. This change means that bombs will travel much more quickly. Maximum range remains unchanged.
• Cloaking a Falcon while there is a jamming cycle in progress and the jammer has been deactivated will now result in an immediate break of the jam cycle on the targeted ship. To clarify: if you start a 20 second jamming cycle on a ship, then deactivate the jamming module and cloak, the jam cycle on the target will immediately cease.
• The description of ECM Burst modules now says "emits random electronic bursts which have a chance of momentarily disrupting target locks on ships within range,"  while the Remote ECM Burst modules description reads "emits an area-effect electronic burst, centered on the designated target, which has a chance to momentarily disrupt target locks on any ship within range."  This change is to clarify exactly what each module does.

Skills

• References to “ice harvesting” will be replaced with “ice mining” in relevant skills.

Player Owned Structures, Outposts and Stations

• Corporation directors will no longer be spammed multiple times for the same starbase event.  They will receive one mail only.

Character Creation and New Player Experience

• Page five of the “Certificates” tutorial has been modified for clarity.
• Page two of the “Attributes” tutorials has been modified for clarity.

Agents & Missions

• The spawn rates in the mission "Technological Secrets (1 of 3)" have been adjusted and waves will now appear much more quickly.
• The mission "No Excuse" will now clearly advise players that there will be no faction penalty for shooting the Gallente ships. The ships have been changed to generic models and will no longer drop tags as a result. In addition, you now must destroy all the NPC's to complete the mission.
• Agents Inesmir Jimud and Arechar Amranin of Sisters of EVE will now display an appropriate greeting when meeting a player for the first time.

Market & Contracts

• Scan probe launcher blueprints have been moved to the market group under Blueprints > Turrets and Bays > Scan Probe Launchers.

EVE Voice, Mail & Chat

• The "Delete" option has now been added to the right-click context menu for corporation mails.

Miscellaneous

• We now keep a log on our Web interface when you close your petition.
• An error message has been added when trying to auto-patch using a non-working proxy in Internet Explorer.  This error explains network-related issues.

Fixes 

Critical

• Socket closed error messages will no longer cause problems on Tranquility following network changes. Following further network testing we have discovered that the issue of socket closed error messages has not been completely eliminated but has been significantly mitigated. Work will continue to eradicate this problem in the future.
• Changes have been made to the autopatcher which will result in a much smoother patching process. Returning players who are attempting to upgrade to Apocrypha from the old classic client will now be asked to do a fresh install to reduce the likelihood of verification errors. The new message will read "there is a new build available. An incremental update for your current build could not be found. Would you like to download a full installer now?”
• Synchronization errors caused by jumping through stargates, changing ships or docking and undocking have now been fixed and are working as intended.

Need for Speed

• Changes to shader textures and modelling will no longer put excessive stress on older graphics cards. This means they will no longer overheat while players are docked in a station.
• Database optimizations for the generation of storyline missions have been tweaked, resulting in a lesser load on the server.

Ships

• The description of all stealth bombers has been updated to reflect that it can equip a Covert Ops Cloaking Device.
• The description of the Rook has been fixed to read "10% Bonus to Heavy Assault & Heavy Missile velocity per level."
• The description of the Retriever has been changed to say that it has a "Godly" drone bay rather than a "Goodly" drone bay.
• Launching ships which has negative hit points into space will no longer cause exceptions.
• If a player attempts to install a jump clone into a clone vat-capable capital ship and does not have the required amount of money in his wallet a pop up warning message will appear.  The player who pilots the ship with the clone vat will now have the timer closed immediately rather than return an error.  

Tech 3

• The 4th propulsion subsystem for Tech 3 ships, Interdiction Nullifiers, now utilizes the correct agility bonus per skill level.

FIXES

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.
• The skill loss applied when a Tech 3 ship is destroyed is now working correctly and will randomly remove one skill level of one of your active subsystem skills.
• The Tech 3 defensive sub-system bonus will now be applied correctly and will not be stacking penalized.
• Multiple ship descriptions have been tweaked in order to say what their skill-specific bonuses are in an easily understandable way
• The description of the Vagabond has had several grammatical errors corrected.
• All Black Ops battleships will now have their cloaking delay bonus set to five seconds.
• The corporate hangars for Capital ships such as the Rorqual, Orca or Carriers will now display the correct volume and will not allow or display overloaded hangars.

Modules

• Missing icons have been added to the "Show Info" option of Covert Jump Portal Generators and Covert Cyno Generators.
• ECCM modules will now display an effect when activated.
• Cloaking devices will now work correctly within gas clouds. Warping into a gas environment with a covert ops ship will not cause a forced de-cloaking. It should be noted that missions in which clouds cause damage, such as Recon 3 of 3, will still damage covert ops or cloaked ships as intended.
• The description of all Nosferatu modules will now state "Note: a Nosferatu module will not drain your target's capacitor below your own capacitor percentage level."
• The description of the triage module has been changed to state that the bonus only applies to capital repair modules.
• The sound effects for energy neutralizers will now be played correctly instead of being stuck in a constant repeat.

Rigs

• The Drone Durability Enhancer Rig now displays the correct attributes and enhancements.
• Bonuses will be correctly displayed for all missile rigs.

Weapons & Ammunition

• Text stating "The delicate crystalline structures used in the manufacture of this advanced crystal degrade with use, eventually causing it to shatter." has been added to the description of all published T2 and faction crystals.
• 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.
• In some situations drones set to passive would still select their own targets, this has now been fixed.

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 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.

CRITICAL

• 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.

FEATURES

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

• Manufacturing outposts can now manufacture the strategic cruiser hull and subsystems.
• Research outposts can now reverse engineer ancient relics.
• The Experimental Laboratory is now available on the market where reverse engineering is possible.
• The Subsystem Assembly Array is now available on the market and can manufacture strategic cruiser hulls and subsystems.
• The Polymer Reactor Array is now available on the market and is capable of reacting hybrid polymers used in Tech III component manufacture.
• 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.
• Tech II version of the Gas Cloud Harvester can now be invented.
• The Gas Cloud Harvester I Blueprint is now available to buy at various NPC stations around the galaxy.
• Hybrid Polymer reactions used in Tech III production are now available on the market.
• Hybrid Component Blueprints used in Tech III production are now available on the market.

Sound Improvments

• An assault on all the senses! Improvements have been made to offer a crisper, richer sound experience, such as unique sounds for NPCs. We’ve set the stage for some amazing future improvements. CCP Real X gives us the low down in his blog EVE Music - Getting inside Real X

Graphics

• Asteroid fields have been revamped and glorious new asteroids will appear in New Eden. From the huge Veldspar boulders down to the fine crystals of Crokite, the new stunning visuals are a joy to behold. CCP VanishingPoint tells us more in his blog Miners Rejoice.
• As part of our ongoing effort to bring cutting edge graphics to EVE’s players, almost every effect in game has been redone, from pulse lasers to gate warping and from shield hardeners to energy drain. 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.
• When pressing ctrl new targets will be added to the bottom of the overview and not shuffled around. Targets which have left since you froze the overview will be greyed out. When you release ctrl the targets will shuffle and your overview will update normally.

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.

Localized Clients

• EVE Online now boasts complete language support in game, a new knowledge base, and expanded customer support team for our new localized Russian client. CCP Caedmon talks about the Russian and Japanese clients in his blog Machine Translation's Bad, M'kay?

Miscellaneous

• The notepad has had some key functionality added. Pressing "Home" goes to the beginning of the current line while "ctrl+Home" goes to the beginning of the first line. Pressing "End" goes to the end of the current line while "ctrl+End" goes to the end of the last line. "Page up" now scrolls up and "Page down" scrolls down.

CHANGES

Need for Speed

• The Decorations tab will now be dynamically loaded in order to reduce the amount of database calls required each time it is requested.
• Changes have been made to the price history field in the market to increase performance significantly when searching through old price histories of items which have had no market activity for 100 days or more.

Ships

• The "Leave Ship" option in the context menu has been removed when a player is in a capsule.
• The "Open Fitting" option in the context menu of a ship in space has been changed to "Use fitting Service". You can open the fitting service (fitting your own ship) if the other ship's owner is you, your corp, your gang mate or corp mate
• The base agility of Caldari freighters has been adjusted to better balance the counterparts of the other 3 races. The agility of the Caldari Freighter and Jump freighter has been slightly increased.
• Rookie ships now have 0 rig slots and 0 calibration points.

Modules

• Probe launchers will now come in two varieties; The Core Launcher and Expanded Launcher. The Core Launcher will have a fitting requirement of 15 cpu and can only launch probes which are capable of exploration. The Expanded launcher will have a fitting requirement of 220 cpu and can launch probes capable of scanning for ships, drones and exploration sites. 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.
• Cloaking devices now deactivate when a cloaked ship is within 2500m of any station or stargate.
• 'Contour' Reflective Plating I and 'Spiegel' Reflective Plating I will no longer show up as storyline variants of Reflective Plating. These modules will now display the correct meta level.
• The description of all forms of cloaking devices has been changed to read "Fitting two or more cloaking devices to a ship negates their use as unsynchronized light deflection causes interference." Players should be fitting only one cloaking device per ship.

Drones

• Drones can now be controlled up to 250 km away from the owners’ ship with the proper skills, implants and rigs.
• The electronic warfare displays will now show the effects of electronic warfare drones which have successfully webbed, damped, target disrupted or jammed a player ship.

Skills

• The Signal Acquisition skill is now called Astrometric Triangulation and gives a strength bonus.
• The Astrometric Triangulation skill is now called Astrometric Acquisition and gives a scan time bonus.

• The component assembly array now manufactures the Hybrid Tech Components and Data Interfaces.
• The rapid / equipment assembly array has been changed to manufacture only items under the category modules or deployables.
• The System Scanner Array has been recalled by its manufacturers for faulty wiring and you can redeem your original purchase cost by selling them back to various NPC corporations.
• It is no longer possible to construct station warehouses at the equipment assembly array at a starbase. The volume of the completed item is much too large to be stored at this location.
• The cynosural field generated by a starbase structure cynosural generator will now allow all ships to jump bridge through with a Titan even if some of those players are in different corporations and alliances than the Titan pilot. Previously the starbase cynosural generator would only allow members of the Titan pilots’ alliance to Jump Bridge through. Cynosural generators created by a ship remain unchanged as they allowed all ships to jump bridge with the Titan.
• All racial Freighter cargo holds can now carry a Capital Ship Assembly array with freighter skill level 4. The Capital Ship Assembly array has been resized to 850k m3, down from 900.

Boosters and Implants

Corporation & Alliance

• Alliances will now receive a mail reminding them that maintenance bills are due in the next 24 hours.

User Interface

• The Boolean selector (and/or) has been removed when initially opening the "Find member in a role" option in the corporation page. The selector will display when at least one query line is already there.
• Previously you would tab from the username to the drop down arrow and then to the password. Now it tabs directly from username to password.

Miscellaneous

• EVE disables the sound engine (but not EVE Voice) if SSE support is not detected. It does not prevent EVE from starting. More information on SSE can be found at Streaming SIMD Extensions

FIXES

Critical

• Using the jump clone service will no longer cause client lock ups or problems with modules after jumping.

World Shaping

CHANGES

FIXES


CRITICAL

• 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. Players who use Windows 2000 as an operating system must upgrade to Service Pack 4 (SP4) in order to connect to Tranquility since low fragmentation heaps are only available in Windows 2000 SP4 and above. It should also be noted that we no longer officially provide support for Windows 2000. The only supported operating systems for Windows are XP and Vista.
• 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.

CRITICAL


CHANGES
FIXES


CRITICAL

• 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 Thursday 04 December 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.
• Players will no longer see a ship giving off smartbomb effects after the smartbomb has been turned off. This was happening when a ship was destroyed by a smartbomb and the pod was still active

Graphics Premium

• The missing fourth turret on the Harpy has been replaced.

User Interface

• The character sheet will now list skills and attributes in the correct alphabetical order from A-Z in their respective windows.
• The price history tab in the market window now shows the correct price history. For example, two decimal places have been added so prices will list as 1.00M, 1.25M, and 1.50 M instead of 1M, 1M, and 1M.
• Fitting stacked modules from the Corporation hangar will no longer display an "Admin Lock Trace" warning.
• The Gremlin Javelin Rocket Blueprint has been fixed and now displays the Tech II icon.
• The information window displayed when using "show info" has been adjusted to the proper height. The minimum height had been increased to display medals, however, we have decreased the size once more but height will adjust automatically to display medals as necessary.
• Scroll bars will no longer appear when opening the character sheet.
• Jumping through a stargate with the mini map open (F11) will no longer cause the map to break. Your position will now display normally via the indicator on the map.
• Opening and closing the fitting window within a five second time frame will no longer generate an exception error.
• On selecting a locked object (in space or in overview), the 'selected item' icon remains the same. Players had been experiencing multiple icons when using selected item which were being seen in duplicate or triplicate.
• Character sheet will now show updated attributes and augmentations after a clone jump.
• The market buy and sell order window was slow if you were in a system that your autopilot was set to avoid. The performance has now been improved.
• Corporation listings under the station services icon will now display as intended. Corporation “Apply to Join” buttons will no longer overlap.
• The box art icon in Windows Vista's Games Explorer no longer says “Trinity”.

EVE API and Static Data Dump

• The missing column attribute for the certificates in the EVE API has been added.
• The certificate tables added to the Quantum Rise data dump will now display as intended. Unnecessary wide columns have been shortened.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed a server side warning that occurred when moving items.
• Reprocessing a mixture of mission loot and salvage will no longer cause an exception error to be thrown.
• The In-game Browser has been fixed and all appropriate buttons and tags are working as intended. Forms and form fields within tables now work properly.
• The "Open monitor" feature which was opened by shift+ctrl+alt+M has now been reinstated in a new form.
• A right click menu has been added when accessing cargo containers in an inactive ship’s cargo hold.
• Certificates and certificate relationships have been added to the bulk data files.
• The Basic and Standard Common Ore Refiner certificates no longer display a blank window when opened and the number of prerequisite skills for them has been reduced from 7 to 6.
• Space junk clean up is now running during downtime but will not delete anything it is not supposed to.

Exploit Fixes

Several exploits have been fixed making New Eden a better place for everyone.

¤ Patch 69477 to 70124 addresses Patch Notes for Quantum Rise 1.0.1

• Fixed an error that would occasionally cause a ship to disappear after jumping through a gate. This error would also cause client delays in loading up the space scene and models after the jump.
• Fixed performance issues that would occur when loading a scene when running 2 or more clients at the same time, such as when docking.
• Fixed a performance issue that would cause client slowdown after 30-45 minutes of playing.
• Fixed a memory leak issue when ships appear on screen.
• Fixed an issue that could occasionally result in a crash when switching effects on and off while in battle.

CRITICAL

• 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

World Shaping

• The following stargate routes have been removed:
• Komo <-> Motsu
• Komo <-> Muvolailen
• 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.

FEATURES

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:
• 250% bonus to range of tractor beams (70km)
• 100% bonus to tractor beam velocity (1km sec)
• 500% bonus to survey scanner range (~125km)
  
  Industrial Command Ships Bonus:
• 3% bonus to effectiveness of mining foreman gang links per level and 5% bonus to cargo capacity per level
  • Slots: 3/4/2
  • Turret hard points: 0
  • Launcher slots: 0
  • Fitting: 430cpu, 960pg
  • 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 between systems in different constellations in the same region will use Medium gates.
• Gates between systems in different regions will use Large gates.
• Gates between two major hisec empires have border gates of the appropriate faction on each side.
• Gates between a major hisec empire (as defined above) and 0.0 space have border gates on both sides; on both sides the gate type is determined by the asteroid pirates present as usual.
• 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 movable HUD gives players even more control over their UI layout.

EVE API and Static data Dump

• The EVE API will provide extensions for both Medals and Certificates.
• Database extensions for Certificates will be added to the Static Data Dump.

Miscellaneous

• 10 new tracks have been added to the jukebox to enhance your listening pleasure.

CHANGES

Ships

• Changes have been made to all Frigates, Interceptors, Stealth Bombers, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers and Battleships regarding base speed and micro warp drive speed. Rookie, Industrial, Capital and shuttle class ships remain unaffected.
• All interceptors now have a new role bonus. Interceptor Skill Bonus: 15% reduction in micro warp drive signature radius penalty per level.
• The Kronos and Paladin have had their webifiers bonus increased from 2% to 10% per skill level.
• The Crane, Prorator, Prowler and Viator can now equip a covert ops cloak and can therefore warp whilst cloaked now. In addition these four ships can gain a 5% bonus per transports skill level to the CPU need of fitting a covert ops cloak.
• 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 corporate hangar bay of the Rorqual has been increased to 30,000 m3.
• The Procurer has had its agility slightly increased.
• The Skiff has had its agility slightly increased.
• The Mackinaw has had its CPU increased by 10 and the cargo capacity increased by 1000m3.
• The Nighthawk has had the explosion radius bonus changed to +5% heavy missile explosion velocity per level.
• The Flycatcher has had the explosion radius bonus changed to 3% reduction of Light Missile damage reduction factor per level.
• 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.

World Shaping

• The autopilot avoidance system has been updated. Jita has been removed from being a preset default value in the avoidance system. A side effect of this is that any entries that you have added to the avoidance system will also be removed. We have done this as there was an unexpected side effect where any solar system that has been set to be avoided would show as being 2 billion jumps away. We are working on a full fix for this at present. This means that any solar system added to the avoidance system will display in your market as being 2 billion jumps away.
• The autopilot was ignoring certain links between systems. The map cache has been corrected so the autopilot will correctly plot a course to your destination.

User Interface

• Outposts and Conquerable Stations were not displaying in the right click menu. We have identified the cause of this and fixed the issue.

CRITICAL

• A new autopilot feature has been added: Avoid System. This will allow you to set systems, constellations or even entire regions to be ignored by your autopilot. By default, all autopilots will avoid Jita unless you configure it otherwise.
• Dynamic System Cap: We have implemented a system that allows us to set a maximum number of players that are allowed into a given solar system. At this time only Jita has this cap set. The cap can be changed during runtime and we will be adjusting it in the coming days as we make software improvements and add more hardware to Jita.
• An Auto-Move feature has been added to the login process. If you are trying to log into a system that currently has more people in it than the dynamic cap (see above), you will be given the option of moving yourself to a neighbouring system.

FEATURES

World Shaping

• 3 new jumps have been added around Jita:
• Muvolailen - Maurasi

CRITICAL

CONCORD and Response Times

• CONCORD have gone through multiple changes in organization and effectiveness. The spawn sizes have been reduced to one battleship and two cruisers, however, these ships have increased damage output and a broad range of electronic warfare to prevent escape. In addition the Energy Neutralizing batteries will completely drain a ships capacitor almost instantly. CONCORD will also proceed to eliminate any discarded player drones. CONCORD response times for aggressing a neutral player in High Security space have also been significantly reduced. Further details can be found in the Serious Security Blog by Fear.
• Aiding someone who is being attacked by the Faction Military now triggers a second spawn to aggress the person who is assisting with remote repairing.

CONCORD and Criminal Standings

• Multiple changes have been made in standing hits for players who aggress a neutral player in High Security space. In addition to a significantly reduced CONCORD response time, players will receive a standings hit based on the security rating of a system in which the attack takes place. The base value for aggression is now increased by a factor of 3. Base values are Aggression of 1.5%, Ship kill is 6% and a pod kill is 37.5% Security penalties also depend on the difference between the security status of the aggressor and the victim.
• Players security status is now rounded to 2 decimal digits for comparison in Faction Police response. The change in how security status is now derived means that current standings will be rounded up to 2 decimal places. Players who are sitting as borderline criminals in some high security systems will now become outlaws as their standings may have been affected. An example of this would be a player in a 0.8 system with a -3.0 standing, in which the true standing is -3.0499999 will be rounded up to -3.05 meaning they move from safe to outlaw status and would be destroyed by Faction Police upon undocking from a station. It is also worthwhile noting that once you have been naughty enough to warrant a security status of below or equal to -5.0, you will be considered an outlaw and whenever you attack someone in a low security system you will become criminally flagged, as long as your target has a security status above -5.0. The table below shows the minimum security standing required to be able to enter a solar system:
  • -2.00 for access to 1.0 security level systems
  • -2.50 for access to 0.9 security level systems
  • -3.00 for access to 0.8 security level systems
  • -3.50 for access to 0.7 security level systems
  • -4.00 for access to 0.6 security level systems
  • -4.50 for access to 0.5 security level systems

FEATURES

  • Federation Defense Union (Gallente Federation)
  • State Protectorate (Caldari State)

Ships

• The since-long missing 6th Amarr frigate, the Magnate, has been released. It is specialized in astrometry and survey operations.
• The looping references of Iteron and Iteron Mark II have been corrected.
• Augoror Navy Issue cruiser has been modified.
  
  The Navy-issued version of the Augoror cruiser is an extremely resilient piece of hardware able to provide very good support in fleet battles, but it is also a relatively nimble cruiser ideally suited for escort duties as well as smaller skirmishes. Created to fill a void within the ranks of the traditionally slow and lumbering Amarrian fleet, this vessel has fit in perfectly.
  
  Special ability: 10% bonus to Medium Energy Turret Capacitor Usage and 10% bonus to Armor Hit points per level.
  • Slots: 5/3/7
  • Turret hard points: 5
  • Launcher slots: 0
  • Fitting: 310tf, 885mw
  • Drones: 15/15

• Osprey Navy Issue cruiser has been added.
  
  Caldari ships have never been renowned for their speed. With this in mind, Caldari Navy engineers set about designing the Osprey Navy Issue. The fastest Caldari cruiser in existence and a formidable missile boat, this vessel gives Navy personnel and State loyalists alike greater opportunities to conduct true skirmish warfare than ever before.
  
  Special Ability: 5% bonus to Assault, Heavy Assault and Heavy Missile Launcher rate of fire and 10% bonus to Heavy Assault and Heavy Missile velocity per level.
  • Slots: 4/5/3
  • Turret hard points: 2
  • Launcher slots: 4
  • Fitting: 365tf, 540mw
  • Drones: 10/10

• Exequror Navy Issue cruiser has been added.
  
  The Exequror Navy Issue was commissioned by Federation Navy High Command in response to the proliferation of close-range blaster vessels on the modern stellar battlefield. While it doesn't boast the speed of some of its class counterparts, this up-close-and-personal gunboat nonetheless possesses some of the more advanced hybrid plasma-coil compression subsystems available, making it a lethal adversary in any upfront engagement.
  
  Special Ability: 5% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret damage per level and 5% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret rate of fire per level.
  • Slots: 4/3/5
  • Turret hard points: 4
  • Launcher slots: 0
  • Fitting: 280tf, 760mw
  • Drones: 20/20

• Scythe Fleet Issue cruiser has been added.
  
  The Scythe Fleet Issue is a throwback to earlier days of Minmatar ship design, when the scarcity of resources meant that a single ship needed to be able to do almost everything. While often dubbed a "mini-Typhoon" for this reason, this versatile gunboat nonetheless has nowhere near the defensive capabilities of its larger ancestor. What it does bring to the table, however, is unparalleled agility and unpredictability. A squadron of these ships can be an immense thorn in the side of even the most able and well-equipped fleet commander.
  
  Special Ability: 5% bonus to Medium Projectile Turret rate of fire and 5% bonus to Assault, Heavy Assault and Heavy Missile Launcher rate of fire per level.
  • Slots: 6/4/3
  • Turret hard points: 3
  • Launcher slots: 3
  • Fitting: 275tf, 745mw
  • Drones: 25/25

• Omen Navy Issue cruiser has been created and will replace all current Augoror Navy Issue models.
  
  The Omen Navy Issue was originally conceived as a multipurpose search and rescue vessel with strong combat capabilities. In response to the increasing need for ships capable of countering frigate swarms, its designers additionally included a drone bay intended to give the ship a greater range of options when faced with mixed enemy squadrons. The end result is a somewhat more flexible offering than Amarr design philosophy generally dictates, but don't be fooled: this crusher still packs all the punch one would expect from a ship of the golden fleet.
  
  Special Ability: 10% bonus to Medium Energy Turret capacitor use per level and 7.5% bonus to Medium Energy Turret rate of fire per level.
  • Slots: 6/3/7
  • Turret hard points: 5
  • Launcher slots: 0
  • Fitting: 335tf, 960mw
  • Drones: 25/25

Modules

• It will not be possible for an individual pilot to sign up to a Militia if he or she is attempting to do so in a station located in enemy space. Example: it will not be possible to sign up for the Tribal Liberation Force if you are in a Minmatar station located in Amarr space. This restriction does not apply to player Corporations
• Loyalty Point Stores have been added for each Militia. Initially these stores will provide the same items as the corresponding Navy or Fleet i.e. 24th Imperial Crusade will offer the same items as an Amarr Navy store.

• On top of gaining a Global Criminal Flag (meaning CONCORD intervention in high-security space, sentry guns retaliating and security status loss), firing upon other players within the same militia will incur a standings penalty to the respective empire faction when a hostile act occurs within high and low Security systems. Firing on a player within the same Militia in 0.0 will have no standings affect. Shooting other players within your own player made Corporation while that Corporation is part of a Militia will not result in a global criminal flag.
• Players enlisted into Factional Warfare will be aggressed by Navy NPC’s when entering High-security space belonging to both enemy factions (example: a pilot enlisted to the Federal Defense Union, the Gallente Federation Militia will be shot in both Amarr and Caldari space).
• 10 new Ranks have been introduced for each faction. Enlisted players will earn Ranks according to their standings with their Militia. Standing modifications will result in rank promotion or demotion (social skills are not counted). If retired from a Militia, player ranks will not be publicly displayed even if still viewable in the character sheet.
• Every time you gain a new rank, the old rank is removed and the new one added. If this is the first time you achieve that rank you are awarded a Factional standings increase with all derived benefits and penalties.

Exploration & Deadspace

Claiming these Factional Warfare Dungeons for your own or allied faction will contribute in capturing the system Occupancy.

Corporation & Alliance

• CEOs and directors of player Corporations can sign-up their entire corporation for Factional Warfare by using the “Enlist my Corp” option in the Navy Office. The corporation joining process will be completed after the next daily Downtime. Corporations who are part of an Alliance or have an active Alliance application will be unable to use this service.

User Interface

• New Factional Warfare map modes have been added to the Star Map Control Panel. This map mode will show Militia faction occupancy, enemy factions, the pilots faction and locations where enemy factions have scored Victory Points recently.

  Trinity 1.2: Patch Notes, released 15 April 2008

  CRITICAL

  • Junk-in-Space has been activated and will go live after Downtime on 16 April.

    In Trinity 1.1: Boost Patch we deployed the Junk in Space Cleanup Program whereby anchored containers will have a 30 day timer from the last time they were interacted with and they will then be deleted when the timer expires unless they are in proximity to a Starbase. Another part of this program is that drones, fighters, shuttles and rookie ships in space will be deleted on the first of every month and while the clock started ticking on 12 April we decided to give it a bit more time so the system will become active during downtime on 16 April.

    For more information on this feature, please read this Dev Blog.

    Bookmarks may become invalid after Junk in Space Cleanup Program is activated on Wednesday, 16 April.

    If you have any bookmarks that were created by right clicking a container in space and selecting "Bookmark location" the bookmark will point to the container ID. When the container is then deleted by the Junk in Space Cleanup Program the bookmark will point to a container which doesn't exist and therefore it becomes invalid. This also affects bookmarks that are copied and transferred between characters, when trying to move them to People & Places the action will fail silently, meaning no error message is displayed.

    You can prevent this by visiting your bookmarks before Wednesday, 16 April, and re-create them so that they don't point at containers but rather at coordinates in space (right click in space next to the container and create a bookmark).

  • NPC corporations will no longer be selling shuttles

  FEATURES & CHANGES

  Technical

  • Stackless Python has been upgraded from version 2.5.1 to version 2.5.2.

  ¤ Patch 45017 to 45018 addresses EVE: Trinity Features, Improvements and Balance Changes

  ---

  EVE Online is a massively multiplayer game where tens of thousands work, compete, play and fight in a dark and dangerous sci-fi world. It's a beautiful place, and is about to become absolutely gorgeous.

  5 December marks the deployment date of the EVE: Trinity expansion. This constitutes a massive change in the world of EVE; not only is the expansion packed with new features, but it also includes a graphics update of gargantuan proportions. Every ship, station and stargate has been completely overhauled from start to finish, resulting in an amazing splendor of spacefaring sights. It really has to be seen to be believed, and once Trinity arrives and you log on to EVE, we're convinced that you will never look back.

  Want to take a look? We have two trailers you can preview, a 102M HD1080p EVE: Trinity Trailer and the smaller 64M HD720p EVE: Trinity Trailer.

  The main feature of our Trinity expansion is the total overhaul of our visuals, a massive task that took our talented artists and programmers 50 man-years to produce.

  However, this grand conjuration of visual splendor is far from the only thing we're bringing you. Trinity includes a host of improvements that run the gamut from content to gameplay, giving you shiny new ships to play with, hundreds of new and exciting things to do with them, and a range of tweaks and fixes that make EVE even better to play than before. For an overview, visit the Trinity Features page. For all the details, read below.

  The complete list of EVE: Trinity Changes and Fixes can be viewed here.

  New Game Play Features

  New Player Experience

  Context Help
  In most windows, a small question mark “?” will be visible in the top right corner. Within, players have access to knowledgebase articles based on the window they are in, or even more detailed depending on the tab, or function they are focused on.

  Tip of the day
  On the character selection screen, tip of the day has been placed. Filled with general know-how and tidbits that might be common knowledge to some, but breaking news to others. A tip is selected on random from the database and displayed, with options of randomizing again or flipping back and forth.

  New Tutorials
  With Trinity arrive 3 new tutorials, each focusing on different features. They will look at Exploration, Heat and salvaging. If you haven’t tried out said features, the tutorials will help you get started with those and teach you the basics.

  Corporate Registry

  With corporate registry, corporations have an easier way to advertise themselves to players in hope of recruiting. Players have an easily accessible database which they can go through to find the corporation of their dreams.
  • Region wide advertisements, with no limit to number of adverts,
  • Unlimited search capabilities from region to region,
  • Increased visibility of all corporations wanting to heighten their corporate profile.

  Tech 2 ships

  Electronic Attack Ships
  The electronic attack ships are essentially frigate equivalents of the combat recons. While they are somewhat lacking in EW capabilities and firepower compared to the combat recons, they should nevertheless not be under estimated. Their frigate class sensors give them first strike capability and enable them to disable enemy ships before they have a chance to lock. With the mobility of frigate hulls they are valuable assets for roaming frigate gangs.

  • Sentinel (Amarr)
  • Kitsune (Caldari)
  • Keres (Gallente)
  • Hyena (Minmatar)

  Heavy interdictors
  Heavy interdictors are cruiser equivalents of the destroyer based interdictors, which combine area of effect warp disruption with the tanking capabilities of Heavy Assault Ships. Rather than using warp disrupt probes, the heavy interdictors use a module, the Warp Disruption Field Generator, which prevents all ships within its range from warping or jumping (including the heavy interdictor itself). While having the warp disruption field generator on a heavily tanked ship makes it more resilient, it also comes with some drawbacks. When activated the warp disruption field generator prevents remote assistance, increases the signature radius of the ship and reduces the effectiveness of afterburners and microwarpdrives. The agility is however effectively increased: the mass of the ship and the thrust of afterburners and microwarpdrives is significantly decreased (the thrust reduction cancels out the mass reductions in terms of speed boost). This effective increase in agility means that heavy interdictors flying at high speeds will slow down very fast once the warp disruption field generator is activated.

  • Devoter (Amarr)
  • Onyx (Caldari)
  • Phobos (Gallente)
  • Broadsword (Minmatar)

  Black Ops
  The Black Ops specialize in infiltration and covert operation. Equipped with a jump drive, they can jump short distances past enemy blockades. Covert Ops, Stealth Bombers and Force Recons (not Combat Recons) have been upgraded to support Covert Cynosural Field Generators. These new modules are advanced Cynosural Field Generators that cannot be detected and only Black Ops can lock on to. What makes the Black Ops in particular dangerous is that they can use miniaturized jump portal generators, Covert Jump Portal Generators, to sneak allied forces behind enemy lines. However the covert jump portal technology is rather limited compared to the Titan class jump portals and require support from the ships that jump through to work correctly. Covert jump portal generators can only bridge for ships with Jump Harmonics 2 or above. The covert tech 2 ships: Covert Ops, Stealth Bombers and Force Recons have been upgraded to this end. The resource consumption on the Black Ops jump drives and the Covert Jump Portal Generator is very high, so jump fuel logistics are a concern. Fortunately the Black Ops can also use ordinary jump gates and can thus save jump fuel for when it really matters.

  • Redeemer (Amarr)
  • Widow (Caldari)
  • Sin (Gallente)
  • Panther (Minmatar)

  Marauders
  Marauders are heavy battleships focusing primarily on attrition and deployment for longer periods of time. While their number of hardpoints is limited to just 4, they also receive a 100% damage bonus to their primary weapon type. This has a number of advantages: the remaining high slots are available for other tasks, weapon capacitor need and munitions consumption rates are also reduced. Featuring large cargo holds they have plenty of storage for capacitor boosters or spoils of war. The sensors have been optimized for locking up to 10 targets at a time, but with sensor strengths comparable to cruisers the Marauders can be jammed quite easily if they are not hardened with ECCM.

  • Paladin (Amarr)
  • Golem (Caldari)
  • Kronos (Gallente)
  • Vargur (Minmatar)

  Jump Freighters
  Jump freighters are the latest generation of freighter. They are based upon their tech one counterparts but with significant enhancements. They are faster and more agile, with a larger capacitor. The main change however, is a large portion of the cargo bay has been taken over by a capital class jump drive, the same type used in carriers, dreadnaughts, motherships and titans. This means that whilst the ship has around one third of the cargo capacity, it is capable of jumping between systems without the use of stargates. These ships still retain the ability to use normal stargates, and can be constructed in high security space.

  • Anshar (Gallente)
  • Ark (Amarr)
  • Nomad (Minmatar)
  • Rhea (Caldari)

  ARM Scripts

  ARM Scripts are non-consumable charges that modify the attributes of the module they are installed in. They are installed/uninstalled just like loading/unloading ammo. The modules that can be scripted are listed below followed by the script names in brackets.
  • Sensor boosters (Targeting Range and Scan Resolution)
  • Remote sensor boosters (uses the same ARM scripts as sensor boosters)
  • Remote sensor dampeners (Targeting Range Dampening and Scan Resolution Dampening)
  • Tracking computers (Optimal Range and Tracking Speed)
  • Tracking links (uses the same ARM scripts as tracking computers)
  • Tracking disruptors (Optimal Range Disruption and Tracking Speed Disruption)
  • Warp Disruption Field Generators (Focused Warp Disruption)
  The scriptable modules have also been modified to accommodate the ARM scripts. In order to get the maximum benefit from e.g. a sensor booster one has to choose between boosting either targeting range or scan resolution. This applies to all the scriptable modules in general (except for the Warp Disruption Field Generator): one can get the same effect as before, but one has to choose between the two bonuses.
  • Bonuses to the above scriptable modules now apply to percentage bonuses rather than multipliers
  • Remote sensor dampeners have been reduced in effectiveness
  • Remote sensor boosters and tracking links have had their effectiveness enhanced
  • The tracking link bonuses on the Oneiros and the Scimitar have been increased to 10%
  • Information Warfare Link - Electronic Superiority now has different bonuses to different type of electronic warfare:
    • ECM and target painters: 2%
    • Remote sensor dampeners and tracking disruptors: 1.2%

  Bandwidth

  Drone bandwidth is a new additional constraint on drones which limits the drones that can be deployed. Each ship has an available bandwidth for controlling drones that all deployed drones must share. Every drone has a bandwidth requirement which must be available on the controlling ship when launching the drone. Once launched, the bandwidth required by the drone is reserved for that drone and not available to other drones. Bandwidth is reclaimed once the drone returns to the drone bay or control of the drone is lost. With bandwidth the damage output from drones can be limited while still allowing for spare drones. Drone bandwidth requirements:
  • light drones: 5Mbit/s
  • medium drones: 10Mbit/s
  • heavy drones: 25Mbit/s
  Ship bandwidth:
  • Frigates: 0-25Mbit/s
  • Destroyers: 0-25Mbit/s
  • Cruisers: 0-50Mbit/s
  • Battlecruisers: 25-75Mbit/s
  • Battleships: 75-125Mbit/s
  Exceptions for drone ships:
  • Ishkur: 25Mbit/s bandwidth, 25m3 + 5m3/level drone bay
  • Vexor: 75Mbit/s bandwidth, 100m3 dronebay
  • Ishtar: 125Mbit/s bandwidth, no change in dronebay
  • Arbitrator, Curse, Pilgrim: 50 Mbit/s bandwidth, 150m3 dronebay
  • Myrmidon: 75Mbit/s bandwidth, 150m3 dronebay
  • Eos: 75Mbit/s bandwidth, 150m3 + 15m3/level dronebay

  Missions, Dungeons and NPCs

  Missions are a vital part of EVE's Player versus Environment experience. Over 140 missions are a part of the EVE: Trinity expansion, including new Mining/Harvesting, Mega-courier, New Player Experience, and Story Arcs for Empire and Faction agents. Also part of the expansion are 50 more exploration sites, balance changes, improvements to NPCs and their equipment and other features are being added.

  User Interface and EVE Voice

  As part of the graphics update, the Player Interfaces have been overhauled and we're not done yet. Many elements of the User Interface are now mobile and EVE Voice is now being integrated further into the UI. More information on these updates can be reviewed in this Dev Blog.

  • It will no longer be possible to use the cargohold of a ship stored in a ship maintenance array for additional storage. Only charges will be storable.

  Modules and Drones

  • Offlined modules now function as "heat sinks" when overloading, reducing the chance of the other modules to take heat damage.

  • The position of an overloaded module in the rack now affects the chances of the other modules in the rack to take damage from heat. The further away from the overloaded module they, the smaller the chances are for the other modules to become damaged.
  • Need for Speed (drones): The rate of fire for all drones has been doubled to decrease the number of server calls drones are making. Drone damage was doubled to balance the RoF change. Sentry drones and fighters are not affected by any of these changes.
  • The maximum range of Torpedoes has been decreased.
  • The rate of fire of Siege Missile Launchers has been decreased by 25%.
  • Bombs now launch with a forward velocity, similar to survey probes.

  • The signature radius penalty on some small shield extenders has been changed to 2m like other modules.
  • The CPU need of micro shield extenders has been reduced, meta levels corrected and signature radius penalty changed to 1m.
  • The capacitor capacity penalty on all Capacitor Flux Coils has been reduced by 10%, but the recharge rate bonus has also been decreased to compensate.
  • The capacitor need of neutralizers has been reduced to improve efficiency, energy destabilization amount and range on small neutralizers has increased, fitting requirements of meta level 1 to 4 small neutralizers have been adjusted to be in line with their larger brethren.
  • The activation cost of Gang warfare modules has been reduced from 50 to 25.
  • Meta level 1 to 4 shield boosters now have the same duration as tech 1 shield boosters (meta level 0). Shield boost amount and capacitor need have been adjusted: The efficiency has been increased by +12.5% and the boost rate has been increased up to +12.5% for meta level 0 down to -10% for meta level 4. This ensures that the increase in boost rate and efficiency between tech 1 and tech 2 is in line with the values for armor repairers.
  • The Industrial Core and Capital Tractor Beam modules have been restricted to fit only to Capital Industrial Hulls, the CPU has been lowered to 100 and CPU bonus effect has been removed from the Rorqual.

  Science and Industry

  • Advanced capital construction components have been introduced and are required in the manufacture of Tech II capital ships, they require the same advanced materials as normal construction components. Blueprints for them are seeded on the market available from certain NPC corporations.

  • The bonuses provided by decryptors in invention have been increased by varying amounts to be more effective in invention jobs.
  • Bomb manufacturing will output 2 bombs per batch, thus halving their manufacturing costs.
  • The chance of inventing ship blueprints of smaller Tech II ship classes has been increased leading to a greater chance of success with frigate, destroyer, cruiser and battlecruiser invention.
  • Skill requirements for making copies of the Expanded Cargohold I Blueprint have been removed.
  • Invention times for Mining Laser Upgrade I Blueprint and the Ice Harvester Upgrade I Blueprint have been reduced to be in line with other modules.
  • Changed invention research time on Target Painter I from 120,000 to 9,000 seconds.

  Missions, Dungeons & Exploration

  • Various dungeons have been adjusted and optimized as part of the Need for Speed initiative.
