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
href="http://myeve.eve-online.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=617">The
results are in; EVE and ShaderModel support.
A brand new
href="http://www.superssd.com/products/ramsan-500/">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

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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=616">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,
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=644">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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=629">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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=621">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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=630">A
Virgin Mind.
Player Owned Structures, Outposts and Stations
Manufacturing outposts can now manufacture the strategic
cruiser hull and subsystems.

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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=618">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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=620">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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=636">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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=638">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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=642">New
Blog: Sick in the back of an Astra: A travel blog.
We have doubled the number of exploration sites in known

href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=639">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.
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
href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=643">Machine

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 Astrometrics skill gives you +1 probes active per
level, starting with 4 at level 1.
The skills Marketing, Procurement, Day Trading and
Visibility
will now state "Limited to Current Region" rather than "Limited to 50
jumps" when trained to Level V.
The skill requirements for the Tracking Disruptor II have
been upgraded to Weapon Disruption 4, in line with other T2 modules.
The skill “CFO Training” has been
removed from the character sheet.
Rigs
All rigs, implants and ship bonuses giving a duration bonus
to
scanning on Tranquility currently will now give a strength bonus, and
vice versa. The exception to this is the Virtue implant set which keep
giving strength bonuses.
Player Owned Structures, Outposts and Stations
The component assembly array has been changed to not have a
material waste multiplier (is now 1.0)
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
High grade and low grade snake implant sets now display the
correct bonuses.
Poteque Pharmaceuticals has issued a recall on their
Draftsman
range of hardwiring implants which were released with severe faults in
the neural processors. Players can now sell their Draftsman implants
back to NPCs at various stations. The GI-1 can be sold for 25 million
ISK and the GI-2 can be sold back for 200 million ISK.

The AURA tutorial for Corporations has been revised and
will now be
six pages in length instead of seven. The page which has been removed
is regarding Corporation recruitment advertising in Help channels.
The audio and tutorial concerning EVE mail has been
removed. A new tutorial will be added at a later date.
Agents & Missions
We have modified the format of the mission dialogue window.
Accepting and declining missions is now accomplished via clicking the
appropriate buttons in the new UI.
Time remaining in missions and for bonus rewards is now
displayed as a duration rather than as an end time. (That is,
“you have
3 hours and 27 minutes” rather than “you must
complete the mission by
6:23pm GMT.”)
The mission "Alluring Emanations" will now only be issued
by Level 1 agents.
The warning mission when entering the mission
"What´s in a
Name - Poke (3/5)" will now display the text "Attention, you are
approaching a Gallente Federation vessel on official exercises. Turn
back now.”

missions against the Minmatar Republic.
The time taken for the second wave of NPC's to arrive in
the mission "Intercept the Pirate Smugglers" has been reduced by 40%.

now
states that the player must visit the mission site to complete the
mission even if they already have the mission objective in their
hangar.
Science & Industry
When a player tries to remotely manufacture a blueprint
without the
skill required for it, a message will now state "You are 0 jumps away
from this installation and you lack the required Supply Chain
Management skill for manufacturing or Scientific Networking for
research to remotely manage your Science & Industry jobs.
Bomb blueprints will now show correctly in the bomb
blueprint group instead of the missile blueprint group under contracts.
The deep core mining laser I blueprint can now be used to
invent a modulated deep core mining laser II BPC.
Market & Contracts
Probe launchers will now appear in the market window under
Ship Equipment > Turrets and Bays.
The "Description (Optional)" field in page 3 of 4 when
creating a loan contract has been changed to read "Description" and
must be populated.
It is no longer possible to spam requests for "Get
contracts"
in the My Contracts tab. The button will now be disabled for five
seconds after it is initially pressed.
The SCC has responded to demand and further sub-categorized
the Hardwiring implant market groups to allow Capsuleers to more easily
browse the available range of hardwiring implants by type of effect
they have
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.
FIXES
Critical
Using the jump clone service will no longer cause client
lock ups or problems with modules after jumping.
World Shaping
Jumping into systems that have not yet loaded following a
downtime will no longer cause so many issues.
Need for Speed
Accepting a Factional Warfare mission or jumping into a
Factional
Warfare system will no longer generate errors in the logserver. This
change will lead to faster loading which is always great.
Ships
Attempting to re-board your own capsule when docked in a
station
will no longer start a 30 second cool down period before being able to
board another ship. Now you can click on another ship in your hangar
and board immediately.
When refining ore from a corporation hangar in a Rorqual,
when you select 'to hangar and refine' in a station with a corp office
the minerals end up in the same division as where the ore was stored in
the ship. When you do so in a station without office the minerals move
to the personal hangar.

window, and are listed as a variant in the show info windows of the
other meta versions of the module. In addition, these modules are
listed as possible options in the "select item type" window when
searching for an item type in contracts, or auto-linking to an item
type in a chat window.
We have deleted the zydrine material entry which had a zero
quantity when recycling a small electrochemical capacitor booster I.
There is now the 'bridge to member' option in the context
menu
for a broadcasted beacon while using a covert jump portal generator.
You are now able to compare module types from the
"Deployable" category.

Weapons & Ammunition
The "Rage" missile description has been modified for
clarity.

from
a weapon group when a player is using the fitting services at a capital
ship. Previously the group would be destroyed with no message meaning
players would need to regroup all weapons.
Drones
Praetor, Acolyte and Infiltrator EV-type drones now
function
correctly and neutralise the correct amount of energy from their
targets.
Dragonfly and Templar fighters will now engage a target and
function correctly.
Player Owned Structures, Outposts and Stations
Starbases have received an overhaul. We have cleaned up the
production entities to handle checking of supplies and outputs more
gracefully. Starbases will, in general, be more efficient in terms of
their evaluation - unlinked structures are no longer evaluated at all
and less code is executed when calculating the evaluation order. They
will also properly stall out like a production pipeline and no longer
"lose" inputs or outputs by halting mid-cycle when setups are
disrupted.
Clicking multiple times on "Assume Control" of a battery at
a
starbase will now display a message stating whether you have control or
if you are assuming control of the structure.

or declined. If I didn’t want to save that Damsel 30 seconds
ago, I
sure don't want to save her now.
