I did heard the Insta-Warp module, "instantaneously warp 110km, WILL allow passage through bubbles.

CCP said they could release a insta-warp nullifier bubble too. I did not hear about warp locks on it.

Sounds like a gate camp breaker depending on how fast to wind up the mod and if point will still work. :) This would mess up locking a system or wspace down at the entrances yes!! and would make for more PvP.. hmmm

Sounds good to me

Great about this MMO! A dark world with people interacting and hopefully the depth of Eve over time. Sometimes I want a change of environment.

So when, any dates to beta or live?

A sandbox is where you create your content and decide your actions with the material and abilities provided.

- Create Your Content; free to build/re-organze ingame structures
- Decide Your Actions; free to roam and interact

So what games are sandboxes?
- Minecraft
- Second Life

Any others??

Pruning high level positions is just good on the books.

I hope this is not for IPO reasons thou. IPOs lead to shareholders all wanting a piece of the pie and possibly sucking the life out of a company with profit taking schemes. IPO = greedy and often short term investors!

Now new blood is never bad either ;)

I wish him well, new companies are always more exciting and likely he is walking away with a nice bank account.

Great job and best of luck!

I assume this is 2 million SP to the production character for checking the performance out??

I like the incentive for us beta testers, a win win

Those that play Eve probably wont care about the web site.

If CCP thinks it will bring in new users (=profit) to rotate ships good for them. I look at photos and videos and review games on youtube, etc. If the site is deficient, fix it.

I think keeping new players is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT!
Build a storyline, force interaction, and let solo players be able to play along too.

FACT: To start, most people are solo
- Show them career paths, help them along, maybe recommend skill paths?
- Give interesting solo paths be it mining, combat PVE and/or PVP... help them grow into the game. Maybe enhance racial battles like faction wars. - Make space highsec more interesting, racial areas should be safer then other parts of highsec.
- Maybe allow limited but progressive damage to new players so ships blowing up don't frustrate them.

Its the game that counts!!

Great Update!!!

Eve is getting smoother to play every patch.

Technically its incredible.. now per other comments, add some LORE
A story line that supports HighSec, if no all secs, be it faction wars, gold rushes, ship-crippling tactics or whatever.

Eve is a find your own excitement environment, still its good to have some story paths to build allegiances etc.

BTW.. love the T2 AFs, it's the best part of this patch for me.
err... anything to un-clutter the screen next? no idea how thou :)

Yes very "NICE" and given the dismal previous Incarna, this is great BUT..
this work was done in a few weeks, I wonder what could have been done in a few months.. i so regret we wont see that.. not the future .....

Crucible was fixes, updates a POCO tweak to sell DUST and 4 new ships...

Now the actual game play... that's what needs creativity!!
Yes people cry about changes, some win some loose, that's the name of the game in Eve, suck it up and make the game play better!

oh yeah.. and again, I love the graphics then game play, in that order.

First, Eve is not a sandbox!! Sandboxes let you create something new and unique.

Next, Eve is a great game if you like realistic SciFi. If you only want fae and dwarves, then no, if you want science then yes!

I like being able to find what I have in inventory, never knew why it was ever not functional. Fixed a bug, nothing big, just CCP doing there job again.

Kudos!

I like it, great update, many small things that make the game smoother.

Graphics overall, contrails, shadows, space itself, warp and jump button, so many little things that will go unnoticed quickly as they just fit in so much better... appreciated!

While many complain about CQ, even me with its current limitations, I do want the space station part of the game too! Incarna CQ was only looking at my ugly mug, just a waste of bandwidth.

CQ should be, common lounges to meet other players and form friends and enemies, see the other local corps as they group in areas, whatever..and some station benefits likes windows to see who's orbiting.. great for low/null sec station campers too :)

Great job CCP and dont forget to do some CQ so long as its ppl talking to ppl and not just looking at myself.

Now 2 biggies CCP Grey did not deliver on was smallholdings, ie, cheap/ limited POS's, and a path to opening up Null space.

Anyways, great job!
