There has always been some dodgy shit going on between CCP and certain players. I remember back in the early years there was an alliance down in Stain - I think it was just called The Stain Alliance - that was populated entirely by the customer service people/mods or whatever they were called. Since there were always people online 23/7 they'd have a laptop or two open while at work monitoring shit, and if a raid occurred, they'd phone up and wake their buddies who would log on and defend the area.

I mean they literally fired multiple people over the years that moved to Iceland to work there because they couldn't stop printing BPOs and other shit for their corps

Eve is not populated by well-adjusted individuals

Yea those are the first of the new titans to die, so a fairly significant event.

There were some killed early on but they were basically just a big AWOX for publicity.

Can someone thats an active player of some type give me a more detailed explanation of what this update is bringing to the table, please?


The biggest impact of this is gonna be that heavy interdictors can light cynos again, which opens up a whole class of ships to be used in some new interesting ways. The overall warp speed changes won't matter much for most people, but will shuffle things around a bit in a few fringe cases in terms of some scouts or tackle etc.

Mining changes are all stupid cause mining is stupid and it's just more placating all the big nullbocs that endlessly cry about their infinite AFK/bot income. Some basic T1 ships will maybe get a bit cheaper which is nice I guess.

No one but like a few dozen giga boxers does anything in Pochven so who knows what adding filament timers to them will do. Thar be dragons over there.

FW changes are nice, but don't actually solve the main issue with FW right now which is Frat/china/boxers flying 10+ ship fleets via ISboxer and dominating all the pirate FW to pay their rents or what the fuck ever. It's not even about fighting them from the empire side - you literally cannot play pirate insurgency because they will just AWOX you with impunity to keep all the site payouts for themselves, and nothing in these changes will address that.

10+ years ago it used to be the Russians farming plexs.

The Chinese are the people doing this shit?

Talk started a few hours ago that CCP is for sale by Pearl Abyss. I haven't been able to find anything other than an article some time ago that Pearl Abyss was looking to sell CCP/Eve.

Found it I guess. Translation is kind funky in places.


If the sale is successful, Pearl Abyss will reduce the deficit and secure some funds, while focusing more on internal expectations such as "Red Desert" and "Goblin".

I've been getting a shitload of EVE online adds in my various feeds over the last 3-4 months. And it's never even remotely indicative of what the gameplay actually is (I played briefly; kind of lost interest in spreadsheet simulator in space pretty quick) with super action heavy ads. Wonder why there's a somewhat sudden blitz; the ads are definitely higher production quality than like an Evony or whatever shit-browser game misleading ad, but they are still hilariously misleading.

I haven't played in a while but this is making the rounds. People guessing RMT or not. No idea. Not every day you get a 1.5 trillion isk killmail off one ship. If you got the kill on that your killboard would be green for a very long time I'm guessing. Guessing nobody knows how much a hull would be worth other than a lot.

Valuing the hull over a trillion is probably right.

The update on Tuesday had a number of changes to things here and there.

But everyone can claim a free pilot resculpt in the New Eden Store with your weekly 10k free SP or whatever it is. Sounds like major pandering to me. You can resculpt your looks as normal but now you can change the sex you "look" like. So get one and transistion in space.

Mining expansion with some exploration thrown in too. Some other forthcoming stuff. Looks like they finally finished the 'new map', I always preferred the old one because I am.

About fucking time they did something for mining. Most of it looks like an improvement, though it doesn't go as far as I had proposed some 20 years back. Still... might check it out.

Tempted to pop back into this, been almost 2 years since I played I think. Only dilemma is limited playtime since I work 50+ hours a week these days, and between that and gym etc. it'd be hard to do some stuff probably.

Also got a ton of shit in asset safety that i'd probably have to contract sell and then find a corp/alliance in null that's not gonna be a bunch of faggots trying to force me to fly t1 shit fit ships because "omg otherwise gankers will come" like the last one I was in (but all the 'cool kids' in the leadership positions got to fly their carriers/rorqs/etc. and lose them, they just imposed faggoty restrictions on some of the other corps like the one I was in, despite all of us being better at pvp than them).
